reasons for dumping your pet

[dogzr#1]

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.

"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!

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.

The doesn't match the furnture wasn't an issuefor a lady I knew if she changed her furnture,she dyed her poodle to match. I don't what is worse that or giving it up.

People are frikken dumb...real frikken dumb. I can't imaggine giving up my kitties, especially for such retarded reasons as that!

[GreyhoundGirl]

Sorry for sorta changing the thread but ...

What reasons do YOU consider vaild for giving up a loved one.

The only one I can consider is really serious biting, especially on children.

[ramanth]

I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I'm not.

Kia was surrended with the "moving" excuse.

Their loss, my gain, though I wish I could save them all.

We got our Lou Lou from a family that said they couldn't handle a puppy right now!! She was 4 1/2 month when we took her. I think they didn't do their research on the breed and didn't relieze she is very high energy and if you don't excersie her she will be bored and naughty! They claimed she didn't do well with their kids, 1 1/2 and 5 years old.(jumpy, duh she is a puppy and needs to be taught what to do) Well, I have a 6 and 11 year old and I do daycare for 1 through 12 years, no problems here with alittle obedience training and daily excersise. Oh then I find out they got another puppy about a month ago that is the same age as Lou Lou, and now she is pregant again, so good luck new puppy! Some people should never have the joy of owning an animal!
