If you're referring to people who just casually get a pet and decide they no longer want it, then again the pet is better off with someone else. (Although I think in most situations this is not the case, especially on this web site  ) |
I agree with your statement. I had to give up my Bichon. He had a strong separation anxiety. He could not stand for me to leave the house for no longer than four hours. I was in college, and I could not stay home with him all day. I had to put him in a crate while I was at school, because he tore up my carpet and furniture. He cried in his crate even when I was not home. I decided he needed a new home that could meet his needs. I gave him up to Small Paws. I cried for two weeks after I gave him up to Small Paws. I still miss him today. I brought him to be my Shih Tzu playmate. Unlike my Shih Tzu, he could not handle me leaving the house for long periods of time.
