How many pets are too many?

[Erica Foley]

Some people can't say no to another animal. They want to adopt or rescue as many as they can. They work hard to be caring pet owners, but sometimes they get overwhelmed. Owning too many pets can put a strain on them, their homes, their finances, their families and even their pets. It may even put them in danger of having their animals confiscated, of being fined or even arrested. Nobody wants to see that happen.

Maybe we can help. We're producing a new Animal Planet documentary series about people with really large animal families (18+). 

If you or someone you know is overwhelmed with their number of pets please share your story with us at http://www.petfamily.org/ or contact us at [e-mail] 

or call -  1-877-MY8-PETS (toll free)

We want to offer them a chance to tell their story, both about their special relationships with animals and the problems that having so many pets creates in their life.

Should they and their family decide that help is needed, we can offer expert help, free veterinary care, humane adoptions, improved animal shelters, house cleaning and any other solutions that might be appropriate.

If you have a facebook page, twitter account or a blog - could you please post the following on it!

The Animal Planet Project is currently looking for people who own more animals than they can properly care for and need help - whether they have a houseful of rabbits, reptiles, birds or common household pets. People can submit their story directly to http://www.petfamily.org or email [e-mail]

We are trying to get our information out into the public arena so that people who need help, or their loved ones can find us!
