    Anyone who does this to animals should be ashamed of themselves. They should get a picture of what they are potentially doing to the pet they got and are returning. To the ones with no valid excuse anyways.

      ooohhh they should be ashamed ooohhh, give me a fuckingggg break. They should all be thrown away in a cage for the rest of their days. Then they'll know what it feels like. There's a very strong and serious reason why I get along a whole lot better with animals. than most human beings.

    This is sad. Why can’t people commit to these beautiful animals. It just takes some training and then you have a nice pet. People just don’t take the time to train them. They want an instant trained pet. If not they just give it up. These people don’t deserve a beautiful precious animal. I hope they find their forever home. There is a lot of good animal people out there. 🐕‍🦺🦮💜❤️

    Why take a dog or cat if you know you will not keep it. It hurts the animals. They will wonder if the next person will keep them. They have feelings but people do not see it. My father used to say that an animal will know if they are really wanted. Did these animals know they were wanted.

    I predicted this would happen. We are a throw-away society. So my response was to adopt a blind, senior dog who had been rescued from a life in a puppy mill, on the streets of Mexico, and very ill in a Mexican dog shelter. No one wanted her because of these things. I have committed to giving her her best life in her final years. She is so sweet, so trusting, so smart, and so adaptable. She has brought me so much love, joy, and contentment into my life. 💗. She knows she is loved and she now has a FOREVER home.

    1:21 letting someone who was irresponsible enough to adopt a dog then give it away is not the best person to dictate if someone else is responsible enough to care for the dog…. Instead of shelters, look into foster and rescue groups! They are experienced with placing in appropriate homes.

    So sad. I wish I could have them all. I avoid animal shelters because I come out of there crying. I have 3 dogs and they are my everything. One from an animal shelter and two stays. I get great pleasure in caring for them and go as far as mentally noting when they have pooped and when one has not and their frequency so I know that they are healthy and not experiencing digestive issues. I even got my mother and son involved in noting their intake and output. It's a family affair. And they are expensive to care for so if I'm aware of it all I can take immediate action and prevent costly vet visits.

    For me I adopt or purchase a pet it comes ro its forever home. I have three bearded dragons, two parakeets and two dogs. Yes they are a handful but I would never give them up. They rely on me and my family for a loving home and the trauma it does to a pet is horrible no matter what type of pet it is. Don't adopt an animal unless a person can guarantee it is for lifetime or have people familiar to the animal ready to take it and give home.
