Effects Upon Animals
Unwanted dogs and cats may have been acquired from any source. When dogs or cats are an impulse purchase, they often end up in a shelter because the owner did not consider, or understand the amount of time and money full-time pet care takes. Large numbers of animals are placed in shelters by pet owners each year for reasons such as moving, allergies, behavioral problems, and lack of time or money. Another common reason for surrendering a pet is because of milestones, like marriage or the birth of a new baby.
