| A little bit of a vent- sorry SO I am kind of upset because I don't understand how people can do this. I know a girl who has about 4 cats and had two large breed dogs. One of them was just in the paper a couple months ago because it got out of her yard and someone shot it in the face with a pellet gun. She had pleaded with the people of the city and had donations set up to cover medical bills. Well I was being a snoop and looked at her facebook AND she got rid of that dog!! BECAUSE HE'S BIG. He was a lab and what the heck do you think, he was going to stay small? Get this part. SHe got rid of him not only because he was big, but because she wanted to get a smaller dog So now she has the one large breed and got a Chi-terrier mix dog. What the hell is wrong with people? WHY would you get rid of one dog and get another? Isn't ownership a commitment. Shouldn't you consider all before getting a dog? These are not shoes you return to Wal-mart because they don't fit or aren't in style any more. I just wanted to send her a msg and tell her off but she is so d**mb it would be like arguing with a tree. Well thats my vent lol |

| How true! Since the economy has taken a turn, our neighborhood has become a dumping ground for people who no longer want their pets. Up until about a month ago we had around 5 cats that just appeared. Most have been adopted by neighbors but everyone is at their limit.......and then two days ago here comes another poor little older cat who must be around 10 years old who just showed up at my neighbors door. For the life of me I cannot understand. How much does 1 pet cost to feed? People really are not my favorite species! |

| We don't have a cat problem in our neighborhood. I've only seen one or two walking around and thats in the last year that I've lived in my house. We do however have alot in our shelter who are PTS very often. It's so sad. We're really not cat people otherwise I'd get some but I'm at my limit here. |

wow I haven't read that, I have seen some get rid of dogs and add new ones. I don't think it's right. I've seen some say they didn't work out and they went to a GREAT HOME. That is nice but to me it is just an excuse for them to not feel bad about getting rid of dogs. It personally drives me crazy. | |

It's really sad, but there are so many dogs that are just dumped off. The rescue I worked with (Rescue Me - Yorkie Rescue) has so many Yorkies on their website that were the victims of abuse or neglect, or who were just no longer wanted because they were old. Please, please, please adopt!!! There are so many dogs out there, Yorkies included, that have been dumped and need good homes. Oh, and I'm with lil_fu_fu_girl - People are the worst species around!

| Did you know that only 1 out of 10 dogs and 1 out of 12 cats ever find a forever home, its sad but its a fact!!! Spay and neuter...I have 2 yorkies and 2 cats, two of my cats I got when they were only 3 weeks old I had to bottle feed them, the people that had them was sitting in front of the Publix that I shop at told me they had to get them out of there apartment cause the landlord was going to throw them out if they didn't...they had two babies left I took both god only knows what they did with the Mom...sad!!!

| I just don't understand people. My neighborhood has a huge stray cat and dog problem. I wish more people would spay/neuter so we could start reducing the amount of unwanted dogs. Pets aren't disposable but unfortunately many people see them that way

| I could never imagine getting rid of one of my babies because I want a new one. Its unfortunate people think of their pets that way. I should though add that I can understand why breeders have to rehome certain dogs. I can't imagine how difficult it is but for a breeder I understand they can't keep them all as much as they would like. |

| I know I take dogs on as a lifetime commitment (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and sometimes it has been a struggle but we've always made it through to the end; however, that being said I was raised on a ranch and (had my child heart broken many a time) when a working dog "outlived" it's usefulness and look at breeders who sell off their breeding stock after they've outlived their breeding usefulness, keep it a few years, breed it, then when it's longer producing, out it goes...bath water and all. Sadly, it's a reality that people give/sell/---or worse --- their dogs when they are no longer what they wanted or "needed". |

| I will never understand people. How they can change animals the way they change their shoes. It is such a sad fact that is all too common. |
