Dogs and Foreclosures

Dogs are also victims in the outrageous number of home foreclosures. I can’t begin to know what it would be like to lose my home. To lose it slowly – knowing that every month I couldn’t make a payment, I was closer to walking away from it.

Then, to look at my dogs and think that they couldn’t go with me. Well, that’s not a decision I could make. I’m not everyone, and I know that there are a lot of broken hearts out there from those who had to make that decision. I mean, how can you take three kids, two dogs, a cat, and all of your stuff in a car when you don’t have a place to go that will accept everyone? I don’t have an answer. I want one.

We have brought each dog into the world just as we have brought each child. They deserve proper attention. Those of us who can do ANYTHING to help, need to. A thoughtful prayer not only for the dogs, but for the sad families who felt forced to make this choice.

Dogs aren’t property. We never OWN them. We do, however, OWE them. Let’s stop useless breeding and work to find homes for these Beings so many of us know as family.
