I received an email this morning from the President of the Arizona Basset Hound Rescue-she told us about Guthrie, 
a sweet Basset Hound- left alone without food or water when his families home foreclosed.
This is a reminder that the foreclosure market has put many 4 legged friends- dogs, cat and horses in danger.
Families are not only losing their homes- but are abandoning their animals. My Broker Jay- wrote about this a couple of weeks ago as well.
So if you know that a family has moved under these circumstances- look over the fence, peek through the windows, knock on the doors-be nosey, you may just save a life.
Here is Guthrie’s story:
He had no food, and the only water was the slime left in the bottom of the swimming pool. Unbelievably it was about a month before anyone noticed him! Guthrie was nothing but skin and bones, and we can’t imagine how he must have suffered during those weeks. The thing that really brings a tear to the eye though is that he’s such an awesome dog that he is still loving, trusting and sweet and has settled into his foster home with no issues at all. He’s obviously enjoying getting two square meals a day and having some companions, and once he’s packed on a few pounds he will be ready to make some lucky person a great forever dog.
