I agree w/ladyjane on this one. So many rescues have 'owner surrenders' and alot of those are dead owner surrenders. I bet money that many of those were owners that thought they'd made arrangements but the people that were supposed to take on the responsibility failed them. I do think that euthanizing would be preferable to having a beloved pet that has known nothing but your love and care suddenly be thrust into a crowded shelter situation and then maybe subjected to home after home and god forbid abused in some way.
It is definitely food for thought, if nothing else.
