The upside of the housing collapse, is that My dog, Elvis, whom I rescued at Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek, was a foreclosure dog.  Almost all of the dogs came from the San Joaquin Valley, where they were abandoned by their owners, who could no longer stay in their homes.

Every time I look at him, I can't stop thinking how he is the embodiment of an Option ARM, or a Stated Income loan. It is hard to believe that people would just abandon their pets, but there ya go!

I wish Elvis could tell me a little about the family that set him free, to fend for himself, not even trying to find a home for him. I gotta tell you, this is one cute little dog. there has to same craziness happening to do that to this little guy. When he ended up at ARF, he was all matted down and dirty, yet through his ordeal, he remained a cheerful little dog.

I know that times are tough, but if you're going to walk away from a home, don't just set you pet free. take hin to a nice shelter.
