sadly this is SO true.
Here are some of my favs for returning an adopted dog:
I have 3 dogs and the one more I adopted is too much
(because you didn't know you had 3 dogs before you adopted??)
He isn't bonding with me and my family
(this one is usually after a whole 24 hours)
This puppy is biting me/ my children
(its a puppy- duh)
This dog growled/snapped at my child when he was simply play hitting him with a toy sword
(or other blunt object- and yes this really is a reason for return)
This dog reminds me too much of the one I recently lost
(totally the dogs fault)
I am suddenly moving and can not take this animal with
(this one is anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks after adoption)
My family is allergic
(you didn't know this before??)
This dog is just impossible to housetrain
(No they didn't use a crate, they also work 12 hours a day and have no help)
I have had this adopted animal for 5+ years but now I must get rid of it for a random reason and instead of trying to find it a home like I would a real pet I am going to put it back into a shelter so it can be stressed out and have a hard time bonding with anyone new and probably be there for a long time because now it is old and has all these fun personality quirks!
(like biting and not liking children and not being housetrained- yay, you were a great pet owner!)
