Officials with animal shelters and rescue groups offer the following advice to pet owners faced with a financial crisis:

Contact your local humane society or animal rescue group.

Never leave your pets in a foreclosed home.

Be proactive about your financial problems.

Try to keep vaccinations and flea treatments current.

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Animal lovers can help struggling pets and their owners by:

Providing temporary housing for pets while their owners get settled.

Supporting their local animal shelters by donating food, money or time. Some children across the country have asked their family and friends to make donations to animal organizations instead of giving them presents for birthdays, Christmas or other holidays.

Helping a pet owner in need by paying for pet food or veterinary bills.

Contacting local animal control officers if they know about a pet living in a house that is abandoned.
