Why not go to a college that allows dogs? NY Times Advertisement |
Again, I share the same concerns Cindy brought up based upon her experience in rescue. I am not worried about allowing college students to have dogs, only what happens to the dog in the post college years.

The other piece is after college and starting a new job...and finding apartments who will take the dog.
I hope the ones responsible don't encourage ones who are not...call any shelter in a college town and they will tell you what is really going on. |
I suggest we revisit this thread in 10-15 years and see how it worked out for everyone.
