Yes the OP did get quite defensive and clearly she is not going to listen to anyone anyway.
But seriously, livingdustmop and megansmomma the information that I posted might not have fit into your profile of excuses that people give for surrendering dogs, but I am sure there are yorkies surrendered for just that reason, it is just not one of the popular "excuses" that people give.
Reasons and excuses are two different things.
I used to own rental property, and the "Excuses" that I was given for not having paid the rent, were not always the "resasons" |
Yes they are, and i can see what you mean with this statement. There is a possibility that people might drop off a dog at a shelter for a reason that they aren't willing to admit and give some excuse about it instead. I think you are correct here that they "might" not want the dog because it outgrew a size expectation, but like others have said as well, that is not the main reason or the only reason. good post though about the difference between a reason and excuse!!
