Such as having a baby. It's not fair to these little guys to be sent away to a new home. They get scared, confused. Skin babies are really cute too but they turn into toddlers, teenagers and real people you know. It a huge responsibility to own a puppy/dog. They are not disposable because you can't or don't want them anymore. How sad!!!  Before you decide to get a puppy please just think about your journey with this baby. It will be a member of your family for it's entire life. It depends on you and asks nothing in return. Sorry I just get so angry at irresponsible, immature people. |
It angers me as well. I see it all the time On C.L. People rehoming their animals for the most stupid reasons
I shake my head in disgust. I have personally come to the understanding that their are some people in this world who just do not care enough to keep a pet for the rest of it's life. Having a baby, moving, a divorce, these are major changes in a persons life. However, A pet ought to not be the one to suffer , beacause to these change it's humans go through.
Anther thing is allergies> If you or a memeber have them severely, then DO not bring home an animal, because eventually your going to have to rehome the pet.
THINK FIRST, and always remember that a cat or dog is going to be a member of the family for years to come. The animal deserves to be loved, and cared for and depends on it. They are not disposable.
