She Really Upset Her Ex-Husband After She Told Their Local Animal Shelter That He And His New Wife Shouldn’t Qualify For Rescuing A Puppy
These days, animal shelters have to be very careful in deciding who can rescue and take home one of their available animals. Dog shelters, for instance, have to ensure that the new owners are responsible, have a safe and loving home, and can afford all of the dog’s needs.
Most animal rescue organizations have their potential adopters fill out extensive applications with references before they can get approved to take home a pet.
One woman recently ticked off her ex-husband after telling their local animal shelter that he and his wife should not qualify for rescuing a puppy.
She has a child with her ex-husband, who has remarried and is now the father and stepfather of four additional kids.
Her son lives with her, but she lets him have visits with his dad, so she’s maintained a healthy relationship with her ex and his wife. But there’s one thing about them that has always bothered her – their treatment of animals.
Her ex-husband and his wife have adopted a few cats from local shelters over the years but have always ended up letting the cats outside to run away, so they don’t have to deal with them anymore.
“They do this because they claim their child is allergic to them,” she said.
However, she doesn’t believe that.
A friend of hers runs a local dog rescue in their area and was contacted by her ex-husband and his wife because they were looking to rescue a puppy of a large dog breed.

Her friend asked her opinion on her ex-husband as a pet owner and if she should give him an application to fill out, and she said no.
“When I am asked for my opinion, I will give it,” she explained.
As it turns out, a lot is going on with her ex-husband and his wife that would make them irresponsible pet owners. For starters, they’ve been having issues with money. Her ex-husband works but doesn’t make enough to support their household, so he gets money from his mother. His wife doesn’t work at all.
She noted that they have trouble paying their utility bills and can’t afford to keep a dependable car, so there’s no way they’d be able to afford a dog’s veterinarian bills.
They live in a small two-bedroom house with all their kids, so there is not enough room for a dog that’ll eventually get quite big.
On top of all those issues, how they’ve treated their cats in the past serves as a big warning that they should not own dogs. All those reasons led to her friend deciding not to give her ex-husband an adoption application.
“I just know that they’ll either kick the dog out or they won’t be able to afford to take it to the vet if something happens because they’re very irresponsible when it comes to finances,” she added.
“I’m just trying to do the right thing.”
Do you think her ex-husband should be taking care of any animals?
