What should be done about Pets who find themselves without Owners due to Foreclosure?
Pets did not fail to make the payments, however, they too are suffering as they are abandoned.
At any time in the history of the world has one ever heard of abandoned foreclosure pets? Think not. Today, there is a crisis within a crisis. The first crisis is the foreclosures crisis. Foreclosed homes are growing in number to real estate for sale on the market with realtors. People are declaring bankruptcy in droves and abandoning homes, properties, belongings and pets. These home owners need to live somewhere, usually in rental apartments or a condo rental, but there is no room or no allowance for pets. Some pets are just too large to be apartment pets, or there are no facilities for these animals to be entertained or exercised.
How You Can Help an Abandoned Pet
The Humane Society as well as other abandoned animal shelters are historically full with rescue pets needing adoption. The adopt a dog or cat inventory has now reached all time highs with the additional pets due to HUD foreclosures and REO lenders drop offs. Loving persons are needed desperately to take home these abandoned pets prior to these animals being euthanized by the pet shelters for no other reason except it is virtually impossible to provide care and shelter for all of the abandoned foreclosure pets as well as the many other animal rescue pets. If you or someone you know wants an abandoned dog or any other abandoned pet, please call your neighborhood resource for community pets available for adoption or check the classifieds in any newspaper or on the internet for foreclosure associations who are donating these animals to shelters.
We Need an Abandoned Law
Our government needs to step in and make an abandoned law. There needs to be legal remedies and additional funding given to the pet industry who is taking care of these animals that have been left behind in a house or property or left to themselves on land because their owners failed to arrange for proper care of them following a foreclosure. Additionally, if these same property owners ever buy a home again, they should be forced to make a donation to the animal association in their new community to help offset the costs that the pet industry is incurring during this crisis.
Find pets, especially abandoned foreclosure pets, to take home today from your area pet shelters. They will make wonderful additions to any residential community.
