Household Pets Become Latest Victims Of Foreclosure Crisis

Akuti, a 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, looks out the window at the Sacramento SPCA February 1, 2008 in Sacramento, California. Akuti is one of many dogs and cats who were either abandoned or surrendered to many SPCA and county shelters nationwide by their owners because they have gone through home foreclosures and had to move. In December 2007 the amount of pets being dropped off whose owners listed moving as a reason more than doubled from that of a year ago, according the Sacramento SPCA records.
