They told her she had a sign a waiver acknowledging that in all likelihood her dog would be put down, and the woman looked surprised. Idiot. The sad thing was when I walked out to my car, the poor dog was in the back of van barking like crazy (probably from North Carolina heat in June).

I just tell myself anyone who abandons or abuses animals goes to hell.

I see what you're saying...but I also have sympathy for people who are forced to give up their pets. You ask why they moved into an apartment that doesn't allow pets - did you consider the fact that with the economy being so down, they may have had to find a cheaper apartment? Most cheap apartments do not allow any pets, let alone dogs.

All I'm saying is you can't judge them without knowing the whole situation.

You make it work. I know many people who moved further out, got roommates, whatever. People who sold their designer bags that were a month's rent. People who lived on ramen to buy good dog food. And you can find cheap apartments that take pets, even large breed dogs, it just takes time. It's a member of the family. You don't dump your kid, you don't dump your pet.

No one is "Forced" to give up their pets, they just don't try.
