OMG.. my vet has told me horror stories about ignorant sickos like that!! I also saw a TON of people bring into the animal shelter 8-10 year-old dogs with several happy years to go in their life, and tell us that the dogs were old, they had no more use for them, they were getting expensive health problems and should be put to sleep ! T_T people are sooo unbelievable sometimes. Any decent vet or animal shelter would *refuse* to PTS perfectly healthy dogs for that reason... they'd probably do everything they could to convince the owners to surrender them so they could be adopted out. I also HOPE those pups found a loving caring home.

Giselle, I TOTALLY agree with you!! And, even if small dogs are easily adopted out, that just leaves all of the bigger dogs with even less prospective homes. I honestly think its the whole trendiness surrounding small pups, carrying toy dogs around in a purse all day, putting shoes and dresses on them, etc. Most of the people who buy trendy toy dogs as a fashion statement or to copy Paris Hilton buy from pet stores/crappy BYBs and mills as an impulse buy, and when the novelty wears off or the puppy grows up and starts to really develop behavioral issues, they're dumped like old clothes
