His Girlfriend Adopted A Dog That She Can’t Take Care Of, Yet She Refuses To Find The Dog A New Home
Adopting a pet can be one of the most exciting moments! You save a life and get to bring a new family member into your home.
Taking care of an animal, especially one that has been traumatized, is not easy. Therefore, there are many steps and considerations that need to be evaluated before adopting a pet.
Looking into your financial situation and having the best knowledge of your budget is your first step. Of course, you have to be able to cover the cost of vet bills, food, and so much more.
However, one of the critical elements when adopting is the amount of time and responsibility you will have for your animal. Are you able to walk them? Do you have time to pay attention to them?
If the answer is yes, you may already be on the path to bringing home a new fur-ever friend.
Although, what happens when you get them home, and it doesn’t work out? Is returning the animal to the shelter an option?
This couple has been living together for some time now. His girlfriend has wanted to adopt a dog, and while this seems like an easy decision, the boyfriend has been hesitant as animals need a lot of attention and care.
As time passed, the parents have officially convinced the boyfriend to allow her to get a dog; but, he has told her that she is solely responsible for taking care of it.
While he was in a meeting at the office, his girlfriend decided to head to a local dog shelter. He thought the process would take a while and didn’t really think much of it. That is until he walked through the front door of his home and found the dog sitting there waiting for him.

He instantly reevaluated the situation, knowing there were no vital vet appointments and a low adoption fee of only $45.
“The dog was completely untrained,” he explained. “After 5 long months, we’ve been able to get the basics in order.”
“However, walking the dog is so difficult. The dog is pretty big, a Pit Bull, It pulls quite hard.”
Not only does the dog pull hard during his walks, but he is also not friendly toward other dogs.
Her boyfriend is 6’3″, 183lbs, and the dog still tests his strength, which means his girlfriend can never walk the dog.
It was even noted that this dog, in particular, should be their only dog as he does not do well with others.
“This isn’t the worst part,” he said. “He is extremely aggressive with strangers. No guests are allowed in the house or he needs to be locked up.”
Finally, this guy is fed up and heads to the shelter only to find out that the dog has been returned 3 times by his previous owners for getting into dog fights.
“I unloaded on her for lying…to me (she said it was a good dog with good temperament),” he continued.
“She broke down crying saying she wanted to save it.”
His girlfriend barely takes care of the dog, leaving everything up to him.
The dog seems like a ticking time bomb. Should they re-home it?
