Today's dog and cat news shows the sad truth around the worsening economies around the world - this is a typical story from the Palm Beach Post.. it could be anywhere..With economy in bad shape, unwanted pets on rise
Shelter managers here are blaming the economy saying that many pet owners say they simply can't afford to keep their dogs and cats anymore. They no longer have the money for veterinary care, or have lost their houses and are moving to apartments that require hefty pet-deposit fees. Others are moving out of state and say they can't take their animals with them.
It's terribly sad.
The article goes on to say that "the number of dogs and cats being housed at the shelter is at a record level. Last week, it was home to more than 400 pets - 100 more than it has ever housed before, Christos said. Small dogs were being kept in cages behind the front desk because the shelter was full."
Stay tuned for more dog and cat news soon..
