Another reason I’ve ran across a lot is that they expect the dog to come pre-trained and perfect. They don’t realize dogs jump, chew, potty on the carpet, bark, pull on the leash, all those dog things, until you teach them not to. I have a friend with three dogs and they all pee on the carpet ALL THE TIME and it’s ridiculous. Luckily, they have no intention of getting rid of them, but many people don’t know how to teach a dog and that it takes time and patients to do it. It’s another one of those common sense things.

I’d also like to say a dog is like a child. You don’t just get a dog and get rid of it just like you don’t get a kid and get rid of it. I don’t care where you live or where you’re moving. Make accommodations. It’s not an excuse. We sacrificed a lot for where we live to keep our dog.

I think the only reason to take a pet to a shelter is if you get sick and can not take care of it any more. But the best thing to do is have a plan for someone to take your pet if that happens. The people who do it because there moving, well get a place that you can have pets. So many people think of pets as throw a ways its very sad. Then you have the people that dump there dogs,( happens alot in the country) they think Fido well get a home but 9times out of 10 that doesn’t happen. The bottom line is THINK BEFORE YOU GET THAT ANIMAL………… thats just my 2cents
