OUR ECONOMY: Pets Need Help Too!
Family pets have lost their homes due to a change of lifestyle. With the recent economic downturn, some owners are forced to give up their pets from financial difficulties, family breakups, or moves when downsizing. Sadly, this adds to the burden of local animal shelters and rescues who may be already overwhelmed.
Other pets may not recieve the same level of care, whether owners putting off health needs or feed a lower quality food. These owners are doing the best they can, but may also need help.
Our economy will recover, but it will take time. Meanwhile we hope that everyone takes a moment to help their friends and neighbors in need. Volunteers and foster homes are also needed by both animal shelters and rescues to help displaced pets. Together we can all get through these troubled times and those who are able to give others even a little extra help are grearly appreaciated.
