    Definitely. It may not be the nicest place to rent, but at least you would have your pets. The last place we lived was a rental and the guy told me "no pets", I said, "fine then we aren't moving in". Next thing I knew he had a lease in front of me and we had a place to live WITH our critters!

    In these bad days with people losing jobs and such there is a lot of folks who have to rehome pets. I'd prefer tos ee them trying to find a home on CL to thme just dumping them or handing them to a shelter first without even trying.

    Not everyone has pet-friendly rentals available. Especially when you're moving with a family and need a place to rent NOW because your house was foreclosed on, or you're moving to get a job and you don't have tons of options.

    Let's face it, sometimes Poo happens and you CAN'T keep your pet. Are a lot of those folks just being lazy and got bored with the pet? Sure. Some are really painted into a corner and don't have a choice.

    Also, if someone HAS gotten bored with their pet(even a BP) wouldn't you rather they rehomed it than beginning to neglect it? I mean really.. they don't want it, why would you think they should go ahead and keep an animal they obviously DON'T WANT any more? That's not going to be the best home for the animal.

    Myself, I haven't ever had to rehome a pet, and only rarely have I decided to adopt out an animal. All the ones I've decided to adopt out were rescues that I only took to find homes for or the like. When I moved into a rental I did take all the time needed to find a place that accepted dogs so I could keep my pets. But I had the luxury of doing so, I was being pressured to find a new place IMMEDIATELY or for work.

    Just my $0.02

    I'd say there's at least twenty-five cents worth of value in that post. At least.

    :rofl: Me too! :) I have a family member whose wife refused to put tubes in her infant's ears, now the dang kid is 5 or so years old and completely deaf and can't talk-obviously (her ear canals closed). It makes me sick every time I see her.
