I guess I can understand how you feel that way. That goodness there are good pet owners like you!!

I've worked as a kennel guide in several shelters over the years. From that I've seen so many dogs just given up for so many reasons, many like these. Pet ownership is a commitment and too many people don't understand that in the beginning.

If this article makes a difference in one animal's life it will be worth all the "malarkey" and then some.
