The issue of dogs and cats being left at shelters is a horrible issue with not enough attention put into it. Some of these unfortunate animals have to go to the shelter get adopted, go through all of this stress only to be put back into the shelter. I am personally interested and horrified by it because I have a dog that I couldn’t imagine giving him up despite how bad he is. I found the article wondering why so many people are giving up their animals to shelters and why sheltered dogs and cats keep ending back up in these shelters. I personally am connected to the issue as I feel it ruins a living animal’s life to be adopted and then returned to a shelter. I believe that adopting a pet means that you personally promise it to take care of it and make sure it never goes to the pound. This mostly affects me by mentally traumatizing me and I am sure others feel similar. By being so scarred by the horrid events it slows my work and others, thus slowing down our nation in a little way. It also ruins the life of these pets which affects the lives of pets in my community. Everyone should care about the issue as the lives of these living animals are having their lives ruined and it should be thought about and stopped. In order to stop animals being given away when you adopt an animal make sure you have the money, time, space, and other things you need to have when getting an animal. Do some research and it is recommended that you visit the animal multiple times making sure it would be good for you before getting it. If everyone were to keep their dogs and cats there would be no issue and when you think of adopting an animal make sure you can take care of it.

That is really sad that people do that. It is like promising an orphan that you will adopt them and shelter them and be the parent that they need and then take all of that hope away from them. Kind of like a cruel, sick joke played on an animal. Why do you think people give their pets back?

Animals, like children, are a lot of work to take care of. Many of them, especially puppies and kittens are destructive to households. Some people who are going through personal economical hardships can't afford the animal as well. There are more reasons but those are the main. This still needs to be stopped
