Just a brief PSA
An LJ friend of mine has found two small dogs (to me, they appear to be a chihuahua and a chihuahua/min pin mix, though they might both be mixes), and is unable to keep them. If you live in or around NC and wish to give them a loving home, you can read her post for more information.
Too many animals are losing their homes in America right now. One thing people often overlook in the face of economic crisis is how expensive it can be to care for a pet. When people lose their jobs, animals can lose their homes. Unfortunately, the owners of these dogs did not do the responsible thing and bring them to a rescue, but hopefully someone can step forward and give them a loving home.
