That's a good point.

I would lile to think the nicer areas on the lake tend to be less effected by the economy ... ie- many folks buy lake property as a second home, vaca home or for retirement purposes and are less likely to be effected by our impending recession. Knowing this, though, might lead someone from outside the area to leave a dog HERE.

Regardless, I have often said I won't own a dog until I have the time and resources to dedicate to it. You are not doing a dog justice by not training, taking care of it's health, identifying it and simply providing it with a good home. So many people don't think ahead as to what it will actually cost to own and raise a dog properly which can lead to poor care and/or eventual abandonment.
