I am not sure how bad things are economically in this area, but numerous animal rescue agencies across the country are reporting the recent dramatic increase in pet abandoments.

Many people loosing their homes have pets and can not take them to rental apartments or homes. Rather than making the effort to find a good home for their pets, they drop them close to nice areas in hopes the animals will find a good home. These people do not want to take the pets to shelters since they fear the animal will be disposed of or there is a fee for dropping them at a shelter.

Sadly, it is a situation that will continue to get worse. Then there is also the issue of neutering and spaying pets, and bad economical times further frustrate the situation.
