Ruby is just one of the many dogs that has been abandoned because her owners have lost their houses to foreclosure. This corgi mix dog named Ruby is seven years old. She is being taken care of by Operation Kindness. Most of those that had found temporary lodgings under Operation Kindness have been adopted. But Ruby continues to remain in a state of limbo. Foreclosures had a cruel hand in Ruby’s fate – and for no fault of the animal.

In Dallas foreclosure numbers have been rising and so too incidents of abandoned pets. Each day the situation is worsening causing all round concern.

Ruby is a beautiful sleek brown critter that was lucky enough to find a place in The Dallas Morning News. Sherwin Daryani of Operation Kindness that since then many have made inquiries about Ruby. A lady from West Fort Worth showed special interest but nobody has since taken her to their homes.

On an average Operation Kindness accepts about 18 animals at the end of each week. 26 pets have found adopted homes, including some who have been with the shelter for nearly 6 months. Daryani is hopeful that something will materialize for Ruby since more people have been knocking and asking.

Operation Shelter is the address for all pets that are forsaken by their owners. Foreclosure victims who did not have homes of their own to stay in had surrendered about one fourth of those in the shelter. The staff of Operation Kindness notes that since the onset of the foreclosure crisis more pets are being left behind.

Another public shelter for stray animals is Dallas Animal Services. Tyron McGill is its manager. He says that owners reeling under the foreclosure attack leave each day one or two pets to fend for themselves. There are many pets that are not even taken to the shelters but left either chained in empty houses or in the streets. Although the figure of abandoned foreclosure pets has increased the number of those wanting to adopt have gone down. The general economic slump is telling on the capability of people. Officially it remains a question mark whether foreclosures are responsible for the rise in abandoned pets.

The sad story is that if the shelters become overcrowded with lost pets then the authorities will have no other alternative but to resort to mercy killing or euthanasia.

Foreclosures are inhuman to the four footed friends of man. The situation smacks of a savage era – or perhaps that is how history will remember this foreclosure age

Ruby, the seven-year-old corgi-mix is one of the many dogs that have lost their homes because of the foreclosure crisis. Today she is under the care of Operation Kindness. A good many of the inmates of Operation Kindness have been adopted but luck continues to elude Ruby, the foreclosure pet. Foreclosure pet is a new term that has been coined for those animals that are paying the price of human failures.

In Dallas with the increase of foreclosures the number of abandoned pets are also on the rise. Ruby was given pride of place on Saturday’s Morning news. She is a sleek brown dog with soulful eyes. Since then, according to Sherwin Daryani, of Operation Kindness, many came to make inquiries about her but nothing concrete materialized out of these visits.

Operation Kindness usually takes in about 18 at the end of every week. Apart from Ruby, 26 other animals found homes including some who have been staying here for over half the year. With more people coming to hear of these foreclosure pets Daryani is excited that prospects will brighten. About a fourth of the animals in the shelter are foreclosure pets.

Another city shelter is Dallas Animal services. Tyron McGill the manager of Dallas Animal Services said that routinely daily one or two animals are abandoned to their fates due to the foreclosure crisis. Those left at the shelter are better than those abandoned near dumps or worse still kept chained inside the confines of the foreclosed houses. Abandoned pets have increased but the numbers of people opting to adopt have decreased. It seems foreclosures in Texas are one of the main reasons. If this trend continues then the overcrowded shelters will have not other alternative but to opt for mercy killing.

Horrendous stories are pouring in of bank agents who report for cleaning up and maintaining the foreclosed unit coming upon chained dogs dying or dead without any chance of fighting it out. It is a question of priority. When cannot find food and shelter for the family what of the pet? But the pet is a part of the family. It is not just dogs and cats. One bank agent came upon a domesticated pig. There have been reports of horses and sheep being left to their fate.
