Not only are families the victims of the Bank foreclosures, but the family pet also becomes one too. A recent news article in the New York Daily News highlights the effects that foreclosures have on pets of foreclosure victims. Without a home to go to, families are forced to make difficult decisions, and often cannot continue to afford the cost of pet care. Even when they can afford pet care, many landlords do not accept pets, so families and individuals are forced to give up their beloved pet.
According to the article, the ASPCA estimates that this has affected up to 1 million pets. Numerous charities and events, including those in Florida, have been set up to attempt to have these pets adopted, but the number of adoptions is far less than the number of pets that have been affected.
Unfortunately, this article is just another reminder of the devastating effects of foreclosure, and how important it is to keep fighting to keep families in their homes.
