Don't forget the baby......

With the rising number of foreclosures occurring, a disturbing trend is taking place.

Thousands of family pets are either being turned in to area shelters or simply left in the home when the family vacates due to foreclosure. Shelters are teeming with pets who have been left behind due to downsizing or their families moving into apartments or rental properties which do not allow pets.

The good news is that many shelters are doing something about this issue. Some shelters allow families to leave their pets at the shelter temporarily, until they can find a home which accommodates pets.

The trickle-down effect is that shelters need your help. You can volunteer your time, donate food, towels, shampoo or cash.

Help if you can.
