Personal and Family Issues Cause Pet Abandonment
As a pet owner, you alone are responsible for the care and protection of your pet.
We try to provide insight and information to assist you in any number of areas that can affect this responsibility.
The tasks that you must undertake daily are not necessarily easy or convenient.
If these tasks become overbearing, the tendency is to simply allow the pet to go...to a shelter …abandonment...or other more undesirable methods.
According to dog-care suite 101.com, the following are the most common reasons given by owners as to why they abandon their pets:
Divorce
Death
Illness
New Baby
Behavioral Issues
Moving
Too Many Pets
Too Expensive to Keep
Lack of Time
You will note that all of these are stressful situations and most are of a very personal nature.
Just because times are tougher than normal, that is no reason to abandon your pet.
If you think of them as a family member or companion, treat them accordingly.
Plan ahead for bad times or bad contingencies for you and your pet.
