No Suprise Here . . . Top Ten Reasons for Pet Surrender

[darkchild16]

I wasnt talking other issues just the money. In your parents case I would have done the same thing. I just commented on the money because I was replying to Pams post.

Yeah, I do agree that a lot of the time people could figure something out if they actually tried. I just meant that sometimes things are so bad that there really isn't a way. Those situations are the exception to the norm, though

Exactly thats why Im neither for nor TOTALLY against it.

I'm always upfront with landlords about my dogs. Why would I risk the place me and my dogs live by not telling them about my dogs or the truth about my dog. However, there are cases(and I know a few) when people don't have a dog when they move, get it OKed by the landlord to have a dog, and then the dog ends up being destructive(like chewing siding off the house, or destroying walls, moldings, etc) and the landlords says get rid of it or get out.
In that case, I see it as a reasonable excuse. The people who chose to move into a place where they can't have dogs though.... they can go scratch.

When I talk about the having a baby excuse, I mean stuff like this CL post:

Oh, yeah, I agree that that's complete bull. Most people can make time for their dogs even when they have children
