The global economic crisis is also affecting pets. Many families can no longer afford their mortgaged home and as they move to a rented or smaller house, they are forced to leave their pets behind. The number of pets being dropped off to a New Jersey pet shelter has increased to sixty per cent. [Denton Infield, Pet Shelter Manager]: “We have a lot of people turning animals in who can no longer afford it, have lost their homes to foreclosure or are moving and just cannot afford the rent anymore — moving into smaller properties where they’re not allowed to have animals and of course they are turning them into shelters.” Dropping off a pet to a shelter is often a last-resort decision and one that causes families a lot of grief. [Denton Infield, Pet Shelter Manager]: “Well, people turning in animals because they can no longer afford them, it’s like giving up a part of your family — a lot of tears, a lot of heartache, upset. You can see it in the kids. They don’t want to let the cats go. They hold on to them.” The recession is also hitting hard the running of pet shelters with a drop by two-thirds on donations over the past year. According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), five to seven million animals go into the shelter each year. And three to five million of those are put to sleep for lack of space and resources. [Joe Sullivan, Senior Vice-President, ASPCA]: “These are wonderful, adoptable pets so it’s a very high risk factor that unless you offer yourself as a foster home or you help the family find temporary housing, that these animals could be euthanized for lack of space and that’s a horrible reason for a pet to die.” Sullivan recommends people to call their local shelters to ask how they can help, whether it be to foster, send funds or donate time

A Rescue Dog’s Christmas Poem
Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
every shelter is full we are lost, but not found,
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
we hope every minute that someone will care,
They’ll come to adopt us and give us the call,
“Come here, Max and Sparkie – come fetch your new ball!!
But now we sit here and think of the days..
we were treated so fondly – we had cute, baby ways,
Once we were little, then we grew and we grew
now we’re no longer young and we’re no longer new.
So out the back door we were thrown like the trash,
they reacted so quickly why were they so rash?
We “jump on the children:, “don’t come when they call”,
we “bark when they leave us”, climb over the wall.
We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed,
now we suffer the consequence of the errors THEY made.
If only they’d trained us, if only we knew…
we’d have done what they asked us and worshiped them, too.
We were left in the backyard, or worse -let to roam-
now we’re tired and lonely and out of a home.
They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-bye…
“Maybe someone else will give you a try.”
So now here we are, all confused and alone…
in a shelter with others who long for a home.
The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat,
with so many to care for, they can’t stay to chat,
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer…
we know that they wonder how long we’ll be here.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads..
of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds.
Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears
our friends filled with emptiness, worry, and fear.
If you can’t adopt us and there’s no room at the Inn
could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year
can you give more than hope to everyone here?
Please make a donation to pay for the heat…
and help get us something special to eat.
The shelter that cares for us wants us to live,
and more of us will, if more people will give.
