I hate to say this... but I am feeling the pinch. Going into deeper and deeper debt for vet care, and not seeing the expected surge in adoptions that cuties like my beagle litter usually bring.
Beyond that, I am receiving a call a day from folks losing homes or jobs, and needing to relinquish pets. Normally I blow such people off. My belief is that someone simply shouldn't move to a place where pets aren't allowed if it means they have to abandon a family member. But.... what if they have to move in with relatives? Relatives who are allergic? And already doing them a huge favor by putting them up? That's the sad situation I'm confronting today. I just hate it.
I think it's the economy. And people aren't the only ones suffering from it.

Re: Rescue Recession (are you feeling it?)
Fri, February 1, 2008 - 1:03 PMYes, I hear ya... there's a term called " welshmertz" - i couldn't find an online definition...but it's basically,
A feeling of helplessness, doom in the world... things are going downhill...
Ugh. I wish I could save all the little creatures.
I found a female 2 yr old Boxer Brindle...named Raisin...online in a shelter in SD Southbay... I called...she is aggressive and
not dog friendly...it would not work with my current dog...but it is killing me and I keep thinking about her and
if she'll be rescued or euthanized...
ACK.
