The Economy, Vet Care and Dog Town
March 26th, 2009
The good news: DogTown is on tonight!
The bad news: Because of the economy, there are people out there who cannot afford to pay the costs to give their pet proper vet care. So they are choosing to euthanize their pet, instead. (MSNBC-Steep Vet Bills, Sour Economy Doom More Pets.)
Foreclosures are also driving up shelter numbers while our bad economy is driving down $$ donations.
Earlier this month, I asked everybody to give to their local shelter or rescue to celebrate Bailey’s birthday. Many, many birthday party-goers did (many, many thanks!). But I think we all need to make sure that this is more than a one-time thing. Your local shelter/rescue needs you!! Money or time…what can you give??
