Have you ever wondered what it would be like to give up your pet?
Approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, about 3.1 million are dogs, and 3.2 million are cats. Yes, that's no typo, MILLION!
Although some of these pets are truly strays-those born on the streets with no owners, many pets in shelters find themselves there because their owners either dumped them on the streets or surrendered them to shelters.
There may be some legitimate reasons to give up a pet. However, too many times, people have a lot of B.S. excuses for giving up their pets. In this episode, Starlight Pet Talk Host Amy Castro interviews fellow pet podcaster, dog training expert, and Pet Parenting Coach Jessica L. Fischer. Together they debunk the excuses and address why people need to do a better job of making decisions about owning pets and taking responsibility for them once they do, rather than dumping them when the going gets tough.
Excuses they address include:
--I'm giving up my pet because I'm moving
--I'm giving up my pet because we're having a baby
--I'm giving up my pet because I don't have time for it
--I'm giving up my pet because I can't afford its care
--And more!
