your donation could help the Humane Society Volunteers get the Community Homeless animals photographed and posted for potential warm, loving homes.

Without enough camera equipment, the volunteers are finding it impossible to get ALL the homeless the chance they need.

Please consider shedding yourself of unused equipment that the homeless would LOVE TO SMILE AT

Many Pets May Loose Homes

As households are caught in the economic downturn, more and more cats and dogs are at risk of becoming homeless.

To avoid or ease the heartbreak of losing an animal companion due to economic hardship, think of alternatives ahead of time:

See if friends, family or neighbors can provide temporary foster care for pets until the household situation gets better.

If moving into a rental property, get written permission in advance that pets are allowed.

Contact rescue groups or your humane society well before moving. If a rescue agrees to take the pet, provide medical records, behavior information and anything else that might help the pet find a new home. See www.Spotsociety.org for rescue resources.

Everyone is being affected by the current economic crisis in some way. Community animal shelters and rescue groups are all seeing an increase in homeless pets, most are now full and are experiencing a decrease in the donations they rely on.

Please help in any way you can:

* Adopt a homeless pet. See our Available Animals Page, or see our link... www.Petfinder.com/shelters/ga89.html, or visit the County Animal Shelter at 1755 County Services Rd, Douglasville.

*Become a member of your Humane Society

*Volunteer for...Pet Pantry, Animal Transport, Flood Damage Repair, or help at upcoming Adoption Weekends.
