Here Here! I wholeheartedly agree.
Unless it's a dog with severe separation anxiety issues, I don't see why it would be such a big deal to leave the dog home alone during the day. My dog is home alone all day, my parent's dog is home all day, my in-law's dog is home alone all day... Does that mean they receive less love and attention than other other? NO! They're just as loved and receive just as much care as any other dog. How do they expect to you give this dog the proper care if you don't have the job to pay for it?!
Like you said, it's a horrible shame that so many dogs are put down because "suitable" homes weren't found for them.... You think they'd be willing to place them in any qualified home (even if they don't have a fenced in yard or can't be home ALL day EVERY day!)
