I have volunteered with our local animal shelter for...well...let's just say too dang many years (I hate to admit to being this old!).
It is disheartening to hear some of the reasons people give up dogs. I think the one that made me maddest was a woman who had a new boyfriend that didn't like the dog...so she got rid of the dog. Personally, I think she got rid of the wrong one.
I have been out to pickup dogs tied in back yards after the family moved...and left no food or water for the dog. I have seen dogs with a collar so small their neck skin started to grow around the collar. Some of these you're almost happy their owners gave them up or left them so you could rescue them.
Just yesterday a dog was brought to the shelter after getting loose. The owner came to the shelter but said she couldn't take the dog home right then because she had a flight early this morning. She'd be back in town Friday and take care of it then.
Some folks just shouldn't be allowed to have pets.
