Pets Need Help

Jan. 23, 2008
Categorized in: Miscellaneous

I saw today that a TV station in Charlotte, NC did a story on how the real estate market is increasing the numbers of homeless pets. As families are forced to leave their homes they often can not take their pets with them. Sometimes that's because they have to move into a rental that won't accept pets. Some families are moving in with family members and the home can't accomodate any more pets.

I've got calls into the local shelters to try and get a feel for whether we're seeing that same effect here locally. My suspicion would be that we are.

If you're thinking of getting a pet it's an excellent time to check out the local shelters. Here are links to some of them.

Rappahannock

Fauquier

Culpeper

Warren

Too many pets end up here in the best of times. In hard economic times it gets worse. If you can adopt a pet or just help them out with a donation, now's the time.
