A Pet's Ten Commandments
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. (Horses 25-40.) Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me.

As more and more foreclosures escalate and home owners are forced out of their homes, pets end up abandoned in the homes with little food and water. The former homeowners assume a real estate agent or bank official will be by the home to inspect it, but in most instances that is not the case. Pets end up with no food or water in hot or freezing homes with utilities shut off.
Some owners make attempts to place their beloved pets in no kill shelters or pet rescues, but most end up turned away. Most of these shelters … (9 comments)

As some of you may know, I volunteer with the Lehigh Valley Animal Response Team (LVCART). We have been in the organizational stage for about a year now and we are just about ready to go live.
