I agree that its unfair, to just say nope...you have kids. I have 3 children and they are great with max. The love they have for him is amazing and I dont think any child should be without that bond
People tell you "get a rescue, or buy from a breeder" But with kids thats hard to do...most turn you away. Then people wonder why you buy from petshops. Sometimes thats the only option when you have kids. Its unfair.
