Displaced Pets

Many former homeowners are now renters, and most rental apartments or houses have a "No Pets Allowed" policy. One of the most unfortunate and distasteful fall-outs from this Housing Crunch is the animals that are left behind. Literally left behind in the house or condo to live or die. Many families drop off (surrender) their pets at the local Animal Shelter, Humane Society or some form of Animal Rescue League. I am a current and active member of the Dawson County Humane Society, and a former Board of Director member, and I can tell you "We are Full", and at times, just do not have any room for additional animals. This however is not a problem limited to just Dawson County, or even the State of Georgia, this is a National crisis. I am sending out a plea to Realtors  the country; "please get involved". You can volunteer your time, or dig down deep and make a financial contribution, but my biggest request is actually go out and adopt an animal of your choice. Actually, I would like to establish a "Realtor National Adopt a Pet Day",  anyone have an idea for which day that could be? The sooner the better.................................
