PETSTYLE TAKES LEAD IN PROVIDING RESOURCE FOR FAMILIES FACING FORECLOSURE CRISIS IN AMERICA

Comprehensive Information Available at http://www.petstyle.com for Those in Need as Well As Those Who Want to Help

In light of the current mortgage crisis, it's projected that even more families will face the possibility of foreclosure. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 250,000 new families are entering into foreclosure every three months. Many of these families impacted by the possibility of foreclosure have dogs and/or cats and may be forced to rent in apartment complexes or homes that do not allow pets.

In response, PetStyle has created an online information and resource center for people who are facing the possibility of foreclosure and faced with making decisions about what to do with their cats or dogs. Additionally, people who want to assist those in need by providing dog or cat foster homes and adoptions can do so through PetStyle's active online community. Located at www.petstyle.com, dog and cat owners are encouraged to take advantage of all the tips, checklists and other valuable information available to make sure their pets are taken care of in the event they are in jeopardy of or are about to lose their homes.

The PetStyle Resource Center includes:
- Valuable tips, tools, and articles to make the foreclosure transition easier - either keeping your pet or in the worse case you must surrender your pet.
- HSUS Foreclosure Fund information and a link to a donation form.
- Special message board setup at PetStyle.com to lend a helping hand to those in need.
- Printable fact sheet.
