I think we should post that in all newspapers, maybe people will abandon their pets less. I used to volunteer at the humane society in my town before moving. I remember some of the horrible reasons people gave up their pets. We had a dog come in once because she didn't match the new furniture that the people bought and everyday people bring in their older dogs in exchange for a new puppy (we never adopt out animals to people who bring them in but they go get a puppy somewhere else). It's heartbreaking work. I would never move to a place that doesn't allow the whole family. You want anymore tears go to puppymillrescue.com and read the poems they have. Fortunately in our area we don't have pet stores that sell puppies, but where I go to college there are stores that do. I wish I could hand out these poems to everybody.
