Neither of my dogs were surrendered due to ill-will, and it took a LOT for me to give them up. THEY DEFINITELY SHOULD NEVER, EVER AND I MEAN EVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A DOG !!!!!!!!!

My heart breaks every week, and I cry over the dogs who dont make it out. That animal is your responsibility! Absolutely not. I see too many angry pet owners who declare because they couldnt meet the 45 hoops set by no kills (often for things like the couple both work fulltime according to the posters) so they just bought of a breeder.

People grow, they change and being positive is always better than critical. It think it depends on the reason and every person who surrenders should have to explain why theyre giving up the animal. I dont believe for a minute that animal all of a sudden became aggressive for no apparent reason, just out of the blue, unless he had a brain tumour, 10 out of 10 times its due to the owners ignorant and neglectful keep, which usually ends by doubly victimizing the animal. It all depends on the situation. No they should not be allowed to get another pet.
