A disconcerting consequence of many foreclosures is the increasing numbers of abandoned pets left behind. Some home owners dump their pets at animal shelters where, due to overpopulation, almost half of incoming animals are euthanized.
Pets who are the casualty of foreclosures are often left indoors, without food, water or the comforts of a temperature-controlled environment. Experts say a dog will become dehydrated within 24 hours without water and could die in extreme heat within a few days.
You might ask yourself if these home owners feel no remorse when they leave a pet behind to die a slow and cruel death. You may be angry and unable to understand what these people were thinking. How can they be insensitive and show no compassion?
