When I saw the above quote I immediately thought of the many dogs who are given away when they no longer fit into their family's lifestyle after having been the focal point of their lives when they were young and impressionable.
I also thought about the confusion, anger, and frustration that is sure to grip the minds and hearts of dogs who are given up for adoption after forming a strong bond with their family members. I also think of the dog's who sit day by day hoping those familiar footsteps will walk up to their kennel and take them home but it never happens and then they are left with no choice but to wait for someone else to love them.
My heart is broken when I read about dogs who are left to fend for themselves in the streets or in the wild because many get sick, injured, or worse because they aren't accustomed to that lifestyle.
In
my opinion, pets are family members forever but if owners think it is
necessary that they can no longer live with them there had better be a
very good reason for it! What reason(s) can you think of for giving a furry family member away?

From
what I've learned from my own pets, Daisy and Buster, they love me
unconditionally no matter what my mood, financial situation, or schedule may be so I cannot comprehend how someone could betray
that love by abandoning them.
