However, with unemployment still rising, people and animals are still being hurt. For the people on "Main Street", and for their pets, the recession is continuing. Sadly, this is causing shelters and rescues to overflow as people can no longer afford to care for thier pets.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.care2.com/causes/animal-welfare/blog/shelters-overflow-as-recession-continues/"><DIV>Several shelters have lost donations at a time when drop offs are at an all time high. For example, the Humane Society of Elkhart County in Indiana took in 447 stray cats and 197 stray dogs in July and 440 and 145, respectively, in August. What is more sad is how many animals are left in their night drop box, about 20 a day. They are thinking of discontinuing the drop box option because “When they’re locked we’ll find kittens in our Dumpsters or a wild dog running in the parking lot,” Reel said. “We’re trying to address this issue and see if it’s still working.” (<A href="http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2009/oct/11/news/chi-ap-in-crowdedshelters">source</A>)</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/44ED1BFF-A8FB-45B9-99D1-649CCA01F4B4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
