Yes, there are thousands of cats and dogs in shelters and wandering the streets that are in desperate need of rescue and you might think that it’s enough to just get them off the street for a little while. That part is true; you have helped. But these little animals have a lot of love to give and will show just how appreciative they are when placed in their ‘forever home’. It is common for pet families to refer to their charges as ‘family’ rather than mere dogs or cats.

We know that, sometimes, hard choices need to be made, especially in this economy but how can you toss out a family member that’s been part of you for years?
