I think a limit of time before they can adopt may be good, at least the first time around, but if they dump that second baby, NEVER EVER AGAIN BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT AN ANIMAL AND THERE SHOULD BE A REGISTRY LIKE SEX OFFENDERS FOR ANIMAL DUMPERS/ABANDONMENT!!!!!!! Then I think again, behavior issues etc I work rescue, 24/7 for nearly 20 years. I cant begin to imagine the fear those animals feel being left behind like that. Through the creation of a knowledge base that informs, uplifts and inspires, we can make a difference. I also think maybe consideration should be given whether the person drops the dog at a kill or no kill shelter. Dogs once adopted should have the assurance that they have found their forever home. 2334 or (760) 681-5751, email spayneuter@sdhumane.org, or visit Spay and Neuter and Reduced-Fee Spay & Neuter Services. For the time that there previous pet would have lived. No. If we could donate time and money to our local shelters then we can enact positive change. Puppy mills should be shut down and should be a federal offense! I do agree that there should be a national registry. Life is about love, learning, and things that make you happy. No they shouldnt but it will deter people from dropping them at a shelter and they will find another way to get rid of them like dropping them on the side of the road. I was on a thread the other night and we were talking about exactly this. Most animals travel in packs or families and when you abandon them, they know it and they dont ever fully recover. If your animal is spayed/neutered, and you can provide paper proof of current vaccines: SPCA's minimum cost of care: $192 - $212. Some one that did not care would just let it fend for itself and dump it anywhere. Do you think that someone who dumps an animal at a shelter should be able to one day adopt again? never! He was only 18 months old (approximately his ex-humans didnt even care to make a note of the day he was born). NO THEY SHOULDNT! If you surrender it knowing it will more than likely be euthanized then you dont deserve a pet rock let alone another live animal. Absolutely not. Especially when they are dropping off an older dog to pick up a younger one!! It was sad but I did whats right. They are loyal, wonderful, loving That means you own the dog, and it's your decision whether you want to return them to a previous owner or now. Pets are family, and family is furever!!!! No, there should 100% be exceptions for a ban. Based on your suggestions here, I should not be able to adopt another animal for 10 years. Life happened I lost my job and had to move out of my apartment. Unless you are ready for that, dont put an animal through what that lack of commitment can mean for them. Certain content that appears on this site comes from Amazon. I made arrangements for him to bring her to a no-kill shelter the next day. This infuriates me to no end!! He was going to the shelter and the rest of the family really wanted a dog so we took him. Dogs are family, they are not some piece of furniture or trash that you can get rid of when you feel like it. I brought them into my house for the weekend until the pound opened on Monday but I knew nothing about them including health. I have three dogs and they are my family. There ARE alternatives to surrendering your pet We at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control may be able to help you keep your pet at home or there may be alternative re-homing options available to you. My husband and I have had many dogs during out lives, some rescues and some from puppies all with different issues or not. While there are legitimate reasons to surrender at times, what we find is that most surrenders are because the dog has become an inconvenience in some way. If they try to adopt again, their name will be flagged, but the reason for previous surrender could be considered on a case by case basis. And the reported misdemeanours of your always spoiled & loved dog (although you actually referred to him more often as a dog instead of my dog: smells like a Freudian slip, interesting too) simultaneously went from This was two days after my husband left me and my kids high and dry. Think Adoption First! Call 412-345-0348 to speak with one of our knowledgeable staff about the pet you are looking to surrender. It depends; if the person has to surrender the animal for reasons beyond their control, they should be allowed to adopt again when they are stable and are completely sure they can take on the pet. Not a killing shelter as a way to solve the persons problems. It broke my heart. To me, they at least deserve someone to mourn their death.

She wanted to also adopt one of our transport dogs in no uncertain terms and in very clear Spanish I made it understood that she will one day be treated as she treated her dog and to not complain about it. Some people should definitely be allowed to adopt again, but others should not. Nothing worked. I dont believe in kill shelters, how can it even be called a shelter? If all alternatives have been explored and the pet owner is forced to surrender the pet, Animal Services is here to help. If someone finds a stay and turns it over does that mean they shouldnt be allowed to adopt one later? The shelter accepts all animals from residents of the city of Seattle. There should be maybe more discussion between the rescue centre and the humans wishing to adopt, about how they would deal with any issues which could arise. Some pet owners think that when they surrender their pet to a shelter that the pet will be loved and spoiled for as long as it takes to find them a homethe truth is often quite different. We need to keep animals out of thee shelters, not create more going in because of immature irresponsible humans. Just so sad. What if they cant afford to get it the necessary shots, food, or medical attention that it needs to keep it healthy and they surrender it to a no kill shelter or rescue? My cat lived in constant fear, unwilling to move from the kitchen counter most of the time. Perhaps they are young and not knowledgeable at the time and of course the shelters dont educate them. A sentient being should not be tossed away like garbage. No, they shouldnt be allowed to EVER have another animal. no but then we would be violating their rights politicians can kiss my a$$. People dont change. I was going to have her He snaps at the babys face and cuts the babys face and shoulder.

If you have exhausted all other options, you can surrender your pet to the Seattle Animal Shelter. Yes- most definitely Yes. None of us knows the reasons people surrender their pets from a picture in the media. If they cannot follow through with the one they have, they have no business getting another. Animals must remain in good health, both physically and emotionally, and remain in good behavior. Even when you are grouchy!!! A Zebra doesnt change its stripes. This is no different. not in a million years would like to put them in a kill shelter world would be a better place without them. I dont want the dogs abused, Id rather they drop them off at a shelter. 5. Those that surrender their animals should be on a separate registry. I was trying to help her. So I made the tough decision because I wanted him to live. If you would prefer, you can surrender your cat to friends or family in a better position than yourself. In general, no, a person giving up a dog or cat should not be allowed to adopt again. If they surrender a pet thats it no more pets for them cause they will do it again! Effing [emailprotected], all of those people! Tough call that must be based individually for sure. One lady dumped her cat at the pound because she got a new couch. No i feel they shouldnt be able to adopt again if they gave up their pet once they will do it again.they were aware about their pet goung to be put down and they still didnt care,so NOthey shouldnt be able to adopt, I strongly beleave that for every person surrending their fur baby just because they no longer love them and dont have a written & notarized letter stating the ergency for the surrender should definetly be put on every adoption & rescue site / company roster so if in the near future they decide to get a pet again their name , licsence number , and social security number should be the main factor to RED FLAG these so called animal lovers of gods animal children . I absolutely think people that surrender an animal to a shelter should be put on a no adopt list, all breeders lists, any type of pet ownership list that they can be put on. If someone returned an animal once, then maybe a small red flag, and the interview/screening process should be more difficult for that individual, but if someone has 3+ cases of returning animals, then no. He had already had two homes by the time we found each other. Situations change, and you did the responsible thing be returning the critter. So they are forced to relinquish their dog after spending days trying to find a new home for the animal themselves, but are unable to. Until she started attacking me. Not everyone is cut out to be a parent, so think really hard before taking on this big responsibility. And if the owners were there surrendering their dogs, I think they should have euthanized them at the same time. No way. No. The medications for him were over $500 a month for four years (he passed recently) and being a 22 year old student and no insurance companies willing to take him, I would have lost him if my mother didnt decide to help. I have had to do this twice. I grew into someone who has 20+ years of experience doing Rescue. Monitor the books of all non profit rescues monitor the number of dogs in and where they go. I will in time get another dog. This is an easy NO for most and a maybe for a couple situations. Those adopting should know that, you cant line up and have your child put down if they are an inconvenience, why should a pet be any different. No way!!! The people that turn in pets into shelters, their names need to put on a registry so that when they try to adopt again, their names are flagged and the application is denied. Many animals are there. The saddest was of a 10 year old service dog surrendered to a kill shelter because he was getting too old for his job! A dog only wants to love you and in return be loved. You should not be able to get more pets. We rotate the dogs each of the two dogs do not get along spend quiet time in an upstairs bedroom. Thx for Listening . Shelters and rescues need fosters to help care for dogs while they look for their forever homes. To which I say offer to foster as everyone wins and at least when you are 25yrs+ you will know if you want the ten to twenty year commitment or maybe you are just happy fostering a few months at a time. It broke my heart and I think of him every day. There usually is never a good excuse to do it, the dog is to young and to much trouble, I moved, cant take it with me, hes to old and isnt any fun anymore and dont want to take care of it, etc., etc., etc., there are a million excuses and thats all they are, excuses and nothing to do with the love or welfare of the dog. These same people would probably surrender their own children if they could legally get away with it. Thats the chickens way out and those types of individuals should not be allowed to adopt again because they will do the same thing again. I wish there was a way to flag the names of individuals who harmed their pet before giving them up. Surrendering a pet to a shelter is a very serious offense, especially a kill shelter. If you are not ready or unsure, then move on! I managed to make it happen, but it was HARD, and I was not sure Id be able to pull it off either time. Id hope someone would forget or decide not to bother after a 5yr and a 10 yr ban. If you aren't sure we are the right PAWS organization . Behavior issues Can't afford care I was so devastated. A registry sounds like a good idea too! The owner of the shelter also kept me informed about his status and let me know when he was adopted to an amazing older couple who could be his forever family. Working in rescue I have seen it all. the office staff should be made aware of this . When you adopt an animal it is a lifetime commitment. There can be many reasons that people have to give up their pets, some have no choice. This however is unrealistic. It got to a point where I honestly stopped chasing him, and I prayed my neighbors didnt know he was mine. By Tamar Love Grande Nov 22, 2016. It take an animal a long time to fully trust after being abused. People who mistreat, torture, neglect any animal, no-adopt/buy/foster. Theyve already shown their true character. When he came to me, life was made complete. With much breaking of boards and other things what finally stopped her was lots of waterbut she still did not let go until she flipped him into the crate with her. We loved him. 30 days is not enough time to put them on the petfinder or in the newspaper. Always depends. Hell no! There is no easy answer for the this and consideration may need to be given on both sides. Case closed. Just too old is the most disgusting excuse ever. If they are a serial owner surrender, then yes! I forgave her because I blamed it on everybody else. Do you really think the shelter operated on your dog and made that pet available for adoption? Absolutely, YES!! Sadly there is always some greedy puppy mill breeder that will sell anyone a dog. I agree with the thought of sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that cause people to have to surrender their pets. Nope! I loved that dog and I will always love her, but I couldnt force my cat to live in fear for the rest of her life and put her safety at risk, knowing it was only a matter of time before shed be killed. no and there should be a world list that bans all of them. One day we were in my bed and I was yelling at her to go to her room for kicking her sister. They are betrayed and abandoned far too often. no, they shouldnt be alowed to adopt again!!! You better have a very good reason! Rabies Vaccinations and Microchipping. How is this allowed? 3-Anyone who is caught surrendering just to get rid of a sick or elderly animal or animal that is seized or any other reason that seems the animal is too much trouble or we cant take it with us then those people will have the no adoption restrictions. It was better then her living in a car and she got adopted right away. There should be a national DNA list. Both times it was a painful and heart breaking situation. In those cases, they should not be allowed to adopt again. I think it should be judged on a case by case basis. Why are you considering surrendering your pet? I have been the shelter shepherd for a non-profit, no-kill sanctuary for 10 years. No. Buying from Petco is an ethical decision to make depending on the circumstances. I took on a boy recently who is considered a bite case these owners stressed and agonized about giving him up. (Which has already happened.) This is not a casual decision, its life and life happens. Here are the real-life filming locations for the show. Turns out they gave my cats coccidia as my cats just had a yearly checkup and were fine before the kittens. They should never be allowed to own a pet again. It gets rather tiresome to hear people vilified for doing the right thing and taking a pet to a shelter when they cant (yes, or wont) care for an animal any longer. oO I mean Duh!, OF COURSE they should be (officially) denied to ever adopt another animal again, have their names blacklisted with every shelter nation-wide (and preferably be put on record -for life- on a [heartfelled wished] on-line register for animal abusers, just the same as with pedophile offenders, and/or rapists! This content is provided 'AS IS' and is subject to change or removal at any time. But dont lump all surrenders in ther same category. Some common reasons why pet owners surrender a pet: Loss of income Can't have the pet in a rental property Major residential move Serious illness Divorce Can't afford pet's medical expenses Behavior problems with the pet, like aggression or fear Too many pets at home Birth of a child Recent incident with the pet, like a bite or attack Worse still is the person who says I cannot be bothered to look after him/her any longer Copyright 2022 Dogington Post. no way should they be allowed another pet! NYC ACC kill dogs every day. Yes and no. Oh and by the way, is everyone that is so staunch about never adopting an animal again also equally against ABORTION? Animal Surrender I understand there are some circumstances that may make some people feel they can no longer care for or afford their 4-legged family member but for goodness sake, if you must throw away a family member, at least bring it somewhere it has a chance. I just hear too many excuses when dogs are turned into a shelter. And I am sorry, but still surrendering after knowing that your dog WILL be put down is MURDER, people, simply MURDER!!!! She has been on medication since I rescued her from the pound at 8-9 years of age and having been run over by a car. She is an inside-only dog, because my personal opinion is that pets should not be allowed to run free, ever. Do you know that owner surrenderer dogs are the ones that shelter kill first? What is dogs and cats did that to their owners. No.must sign a paper stating they will keep the dogits a trust comittmentdo not go back on your word. People go through hard times or try to do the best for an animal the only way they know how. If anyone should definitely be denied the ability to adopt a pet, it should be animal abusers and people who abandon their dogs in the street. There are so many alternatives and help available now. The difference is once they get back on their feet they can get their pet back. If they choose to dump an animal, they are undeserving of any pets! My first inclination is to say no, if you surrender a pet you have no business getting a new one. They will just go seek out a dog for free somewhere, and we all know how easy that is to do. I think this is a hard call, only because I think youre damned if you do, and damned if you dont. Oh, it worked just tickety-boo for me, no doubt (and by the way, its spelt allowed, not aloud). Certainly less would die every year. They rarely get the chance to get out alive and live their last days stressed, lonely before dying in a horrible way? So that any adopted dogs are abandoned it could be traced back to the human. I do know that a very small number of people cannot keep their dogs BUT they are the minority. Just like animal abusers, they should go on a worldwide animal abuse registry (during and after their prison time). Definitely not n they should pay to surrender any animal These people that surrender dogs and cats to be killed have no heart , there is just a black mussel that is pumping bad blood there. Animals are not disposable!!! Then one day she was sitting on my lap and was trying to get my husbands attention. Pet ownership is something that should be for the pets whole life. so my answer would be, i think it depends on the situation and how the people go about doing it. Well, at least you couldnt think of any, which would be a tad more objective (and imo logical).
