I came across this very useful article while doing some research for our group...wanted to share it. Regarding Foreclosures/Evictions and Your Pets...and where to turn for help so you can keep them! When we are through all the government red tape, our organization will be somewhere you can turn to locally. We are almost there.... :) ********************************************************************************* Foreclosure/Eviction and Your Pets If you’re experiencing financial problems that are making it difficult to afford the cost of keeping your pets, or you are facing foreclosure and the possibility of losing your pets, take heart! There are lots of resources out there that may help. Animal welfare organizations throughout the country are developing programs such as pet food banks, low cost veterinary clinics and foster care programs to help people keep their pets. Some states are considering legislation to help protect pets left behind in foreclosure situations. Even realtors and mortgage brokers are getting involved. So, before you relinquish your pet to a shelter or put your pet up for adoption, consider the following options. The Humane Society of the United States has a comprehensive list of organizations that offer financial aid to people with pets. The list includes pet food banks and organizations offering discounted veterinary services, temporary foster care and other resources. You do not have to leave your pets behind. There are resources available to assist you. Visit foreclosurepets.org for Pet Fi- nancial Aid page for help with vet health care costs. National organizations that provide financial assis- tance to pet owners in need. Each organization is independent and has their own set of rules and guidelines.
