Forclosed condos sending pets to the streets

Something I found interesting while reading up on the current real estate market is that addition to the realities that forclosure means to thousands of Americans, we often forget what forclosures can potentially mean to the pets of owners who are forced to forclose. There are hundreds of dogs, cats, and other pets across the nation losing their condos, apartments, and single family homes due to forclosure right now. 

So is there a short term solution to this dilemma? Well, many shelters for Chicago condo animal refugees are offering temporary lodging to pets until their owners can re-locate into new condos, townhomes, lofts, or homes.  If you are facing forclosue and need some assistance with your dog, cat, or any other pet, please contact your local humane society to determine the best course of action.  Just because you need to forclose doesn't mean you need to get rid of old yeller :)
