a friend of mine is giving away their 3 year old male boxer. why? she claims they don't have the time for her. She doesn't even really work, so I don't know where the "we don't have time" comes from. I really want to put her in her place, but it will be a lesson she will have to learn on her own.

Another friend of mine...(where do I meet these people??) They got a white boxer, but I guess it's energy level was too extreme for them. So, they gave it up to a couple that have a boxer outside the city. So, about 6-9 months later, they get themselves a "bull dog". Apparently, it wasn't a full 100% bull dog, but a bull dog boxer mix...so, they gave that one up too, and traded for an actual bull dog. The only reason they wanted a 100% bull dog, was because they are "lazy".

^^^Owners like that, give shelters a bad rep.

It's a never ending thing with ad sites and "the family is allergic" - "we don't have time", and sadly, the pets suffer due to that.

I have 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 11 snakes, and 60+ rats. You make time. Period.
