Tom and I are now being considered to foster a homeless dachshund. Today, I heard back from the Dachshund rescue about a possible foster from a woman who has had a dachshund for 3 years now wants to abandon the dog because she had a baby. Arrrggggh!This is the fourth story we've just heard just like it in the last month (Some from the Weim Rescue that I work with sometimes) where there's a pregnancy or new baby and all of a sudden the people want to give the dogs up. This is really infuriating to us, as it shows total lack of responsibility. Why in the world do people opt to foster and then suddenly abandon their dogs because of a pregnancy or new baby? Don't they think these things out? (How heart-less)
Don't they consider these dogs part of their family?
If not, they shouldn't have one in my opinion.
Further, it takes 2 people to get pregnant, so the man in the family should take responsibility for the dog if the woman can't handle it (understandably). What does that say about men in these families? (read L-A-Z-Y).
How sad for the little innocent dogs that have to be tossed from place to place. We've seen too much of this happening lately, and it's frustrating because its not a monetary thing, it's a choice. People can be cruel. I wish they'd learn better behavior from their dogs!
