[lute]

i've heard a lot of stupid reasons people give up their pets, but some of these just had me rolling my eyes in disbelief.

It makes you wonder why people like that would even want a pet in the first place?? I hate people sometimes.

Unbelievable

what the...? SOME People

[lizbud]

I though I'd heard them all, but there's a lot of new ones in that article. Unbelievable..... and people expect the Humane Society
or Shelter to understand their selfishness & not bat an eye.

Huh? man oh man some new ones to me.

[RedyreRotties]

This is a prime reason why ALL breeders should have a clause in the sales contract/guarantee that specifies that the dog MUST return to them if the owner is unable to keep it for any reason at any time during its life.

Some of the excuses people come up with are amazing.

It's sad how outrageous some of those are.

"my fetus is allergic to the dog".

[Riptide]

Those are riduculous.

[zoey]

"The dog doesn't match the new decor".
Give me a break.

[kufan]

SO pathetic, but not surprising!

[critter crazy]

it still amazes me how RETARDED people are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The dog doesn't match the new decor".
Give me a break.

i've actually heard this one. the lady turned in a toy poodle because she redecorated.

SO pathetic, but not surprising!

Too True.

My girl was given up because they " had a baby "

Yet.... She saw my one-and-only 1yr cousine (sp?) and LOVED her. ( so many different smells on her front ) She loves all kids ( except my brother, which is understandable. )

Those excuses, I have wondered, must just be EXCUSES to give up the dog. BUT I WONDER WHAT THE "REAL " REASON IS.
