TO GO WITH STORY by Mira Oberman, US-pro

TO GO WITH STORY by Mira Oberman, US-property-finance-animals A dog's paw whose owner had to move and he was left behind reaches through the kennel fence at the Queen Anne's County Department of Animal Service in Queenstown, Maryland, 24 January 2008. Forget about the lost furnishings and finances, the most pitiful victims of the subprime mortgage crisis rocking the United States are the family pets. Shelters across the country have seen sharp increase in the number of people giving up their pets in recent months because they have been forced out of their homes. And -- more tragically -- neighbors, police and foreclosure agents are finding increasing numbers of pets left to fend for themselves in abandoned homes.
