Helping our clients during difficult times.....helping animals and their owners

With the plight of so many people losing their homes so are their pets.  I cannot stress enough that if you find yourself in such a situation please do not leave your animals behind, but take the time to find an interim home or new permanent home.  Here in Hillsborough county we have a kill shelter.  Many people do not realize it, but they only keep the dogs and cats for a short amount of time and are put down there after.  Most people think that the animals will be adopted out, but they are not.  I cannot stress enough for people to face the hard facts, and encourage them to actually be responsible.  It is not your pets fault for your circumstances or bad choices and by simply dumping the innocent animal is not the solution.  Animals are helpless and need our help to survive and live a life free of pain and stress.  If you find yourself in such a situation take the time and make an effort to do the right thing for your pet.  Reach out to rescue groups, family members, friends, but don't just dump them at the pound thinking they will get a home, chances are the won't.  Last year alone over 65,000 animals alone were put down at this one shelter for a country that is supposed to be the land of freedom and opportunity we sure are barbaric

Below is a picture of my wonderul dog that I rescued.  She was abused, beaten, sick, scared and was going to be put down becasue no one wanted her.  Needless to say she is the apple of our eyes.
