| 4392.1 | Too attachable for me. | REEF::MCGOWANR |  | Fri Feb 15 1991 14:31 | 4 | 
|  |     that's really great, but I'm afraid I couldn't that. I'd probably get
    too attached and not want to let go of the animal once the owners came
    back.

|  |     There was a spot on some news program awhile back about a lot
    of animals that had to be taken to shelters because their
    owner were shipped out.  My impression was that these babies were
    not going to be boarded for six months, a year, however long,
    but rather euthanized, as it was that kind of shelter.  I assume
    the boarding costs for long term care are beyond many peoples means.
    I will censor out my opinion of the American government's lack of
    interest in a diplomatic solution.

| 4392.3 | MA program? | HYEND::KTRAINQUE |  | Fri Feb 15 1991 15:20 | 8 | 
|  |     Does anyone know of a program like that in MA?  I'd like to volunteer 
    for one.  I have a brother and a very close friend over there.  Both of
    them left their pets behind.  My sister-in-law has their cat, and my 
    friend's mom luckily agreed to take his cat.  I know others aren't so
    lucky.  Any information on this program would be greatly appreciated.

|  |     Re. .3:
    Try calling the MSPCA. The Humane Society in Nashua was just talking
    the other day about setting up a similar program. All we need now is a
    budget and some volunteers to get it rolling.....

|  |     Another benefit to this foster program is that in the sad case where
    the soldier doesn't come back, the animal already has a home.  The
    chances for permanent placement in the foster home are far better
    than if the cat was in a shelter.
