This is an ad I just saw on PetFinder......

Akc Chocolate Lab,female 4 momths old.Buckeye is good with kids and other dogs.She Knows sit,shake,and place commands.Working on down.99%potty trained to ring bell on doorknob.Very friendly and intelligent dog.Has been to vet 3 times and is current on all shots."Thought we wanted a big dog".$400 invested.Adoption fee-$150.00


Thought we wanted a big dog..... ohhhh grrrrrrrrr:mad:

Come on people!!! Think a little huh??
Now because these stupid people didn't think before they got this sweet puppy, she is going to be uprooted at 4 months!!!

Even though I'm SURE she'll find a wonderful home (everyone seems to be looking for lab pups) it's just still not fair to her!

I really wish people would think a little more!:mad:


okay..... I feel better now... thanks!
:p

That's horrible :( I wish people would think more before they actually got a pet. Poor baby, I hope she finds a great home soon.

Yes, that is indeed one of the major issues behind the huge pet overpopulation crisis today - peoples' attitudes that pets are disposable property.


Got a chair and don't like the color? Well, just take it to the thrift store and buy another one?

Got a car, but the neighbor got a newer one? Well, just trade yours in on an even newer one ... gotta keep up with the Jones's.

Got your kid a bike and he broke it? Well, just throw it away and buy a new one.

Got a puppy and it ate the couch? Well, training is too much bother, so just take it to the pound.

Got a dog and she's getting old and stiff? Well, take her to the shelter and get a cute, new puppy.


Sad, but true. The vast number of animal euthanized in this country today will never decrease until people start to see pets as a lifetime commitment, for better or for worse.

How sad. :mad: Our local shelter said that one of the lousiest excuses for a dog to be put up for adoption was because the dog's color clashed with the furniture color. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:mad: :mad: Why don't people think!!! I gues these are the same kind of people who say... "Gee, thought we wanted to be married but we don't! On to the next!"!
THINK PEOPLE, THINK. :mad:
I hope that beautiful loving (and smart) puppy finds the home she deserves. :(

I hope that pup finds a wonderful forever home, with someone who understands what it means to make a commitment to another living being.
