Pet adoption fair finds homes for 17 doggies
“It is getting harder and harder to find homes for these pets,” said Mary Jo Tobin, founder of Love Wanted, a Bay Ridge-based group that seeks to match rescue animals with loving families.
The slow economy means that many people don’t have the money to feed and care for an animal in their home, Tobin said. It is a problem in many parts of the country. According to a report in EagleTribune.com, animal rescue organizations in New Hampshire have had to change strategies in recent years.
Still, Tobin, a real estate saleswoman who founded Love Wanted six years ago, is undaunted. She is determined to find homes for as many dogs and cats as she can.
