People who give away their pets
6/22/2009 at 6:40 PM
Something that makes me absolutley FURIOUS...!!! People who purchase or get themselves a dog, then later on decide they can no longer look after it, or their apartment is to small, or they work to much, or there is a "no pets" policy, or they cannot spend enough time with it, or they're to much work, or they recently had a baby, and it doesn't like the baby....the EXCUSES go on and on!!! If you take on the responsibility of a pet, you have that responsibility to the END!
These people who post ads everywhere trying to get rid of their dogs for various reasons...and it usually goes something like this...
"I love my dog so much, and am sad to see her go, but can no longer look after it (excuse)...must go to a loving home"
There is NO grey area when it comes to your dog! It's black and white, VERY simple! Like they say, would you get rid of a member of you family, because it wasn't working out? And YES it is the EXACT same thing!!! In my opinion you are not an animal lover or do not love your pet the way it should be loved. Therefore you do not deserve to be a pet owner!
But....thank god for the ads, because at least these people who post them, are trying to fix their mistakes by finding their dog the right home! Good for you!
Don't get me wrong, this doesn't apply to everyone, their is that odd situation where a dog is on there because he actually needs to be, but NOT because you don't have time for him...PLEASE!
