I made this video after watching a PBS video about overcrowded animal shelters due to the economy.
I address ways to not buy into the mainstream narrative of poverty-consciousness and doom. And I offer alternatives to surrendering pets to shelters or abandoning them in parking lots.
Your pet is your best friend or a family member. Remember this. Plan ahead, if you feel that you’re going to lose your employment. Learn new skills. Hire a life coach prior to losing your job. Sell belongings you no longer need or could do without so that you can keep your pet even during hard times.
