Real Estate Professionals are beginning to understand what is happening more often than we care to know. What is that, you ask? It is the abandoning of pets when homeowners abandon homes which ultimately end up in vacancy and foreclosure.
Some homeowners drop of their pets at animal shelters, where animal overpopulation exists, and many incoming animals are euthanized. But still other homeowners, simply walk away from their home, and the responsibility of a pet which has been dependent on their care.
Thinking about this today, I thought perhaps those of us here, communicating through ActiveRain might consider trying to do a little something. I realize that it may not work with all abandoned pets we encounter while showing vacant properties, but it may aid some.
For those of you, who have decided to try to temporarily act as a guardian or "foster" parent for an animal, while trying to find it a new home, perhaps we could do the following. I have some web space on my domain, that we could post a picture with ad describing a little about the pet. Hopefully, we could try to find a home for some of these unfortunate animals. Or perhaps we could just post them here on ActiveRain as listings, like we do houses?.
Here's an example:
Ladies - Are you feeling abandoned and neglected. Is the man in your life a sports junkie, who occupies his time watching Football, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Nascar? Here is a solution for you - Throw the bum out!
I am a purrfect single male looking for a female to share my life. Ethnicity and age is unimportant. I'm handsome, whiskered, soft and cuddly. My eyes are penetrating.
I'm not especially particular about your appearance. If you've gained a few extra pounds, or haven't been to Victoria's Secret in awhile, I really don't care. Substance and the quality of your love is far more important than superficial things.
I am certain we would enjoy sharing quiet evenings curled up together on the sofa, next to a fire, watching romantic old movies.
If I am a possible LOVE match for you, call me.
Freddie (the cat) @555-5555. I'm much more than a number. Call me :-)
[Freddie was left behind by his previous cohabitant, who lost their home to foreclosure.]
