More On Abandoned Pets & Foreclosures

In Vallejo, California, the Times-Herald reports:

• A holiday surge in unwanted pets is filling kennels and creating a need for more animal adoptions, a Vallejo-Benicia Humane Society worker said Wednesday. "During November and December, we usually see a surge in the number of surrenders," said Peter Wilson, director of humane services at the no-kill shelter, which includes 20 kennels for so-called adoptable dogs and 30 for cats. [...] While other cities and counties have reported more abandoned animals in the wake of the foreclosure crisis, Solano County animal rescue workers said there is little evidence of a direct correlation locally.
