Shelter compiles exact reasons for huge spike in surrenders after Christmas
Last year [2016], the Dogs Trust rehoming centers in Glasgow
and West Calder, Scotland received 703 calls from pet owners looking to
surrender their dogs in the weeks immediately following the holidays.
Staff members fielded excuses such as “I got him as a
secret Santa present” and “She wags her tail far too much.”
The owners were clearly unmoved by the rescue’s slogan
“A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.”
Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest canine rescue
organization with a network of 21 rehoming centers caring for approximately
15,000 dogs every year.
As yet another holiday season rolls around, they have
issued a reminder to the public that dogs are not novelty items to be tossed
out when the newness wears off.
That reminder comes in the form of a video entitled
Why I Left You. Although scripted as a comedy, the excuses the actors give are
sadly all-too real. Each were offered by real dog owners as they relinquished
their pups to Dogs Trust last season.
The entire list is below.
I won a free holiday (vacation) and I couldn’t take my
dogs with me
He ate meat and we are vegetarian and didn’t want meat
in our home
She was too friendly and wanted to greet every dog and
human we met on a walk
Now that he has lost weight he is too energetic
She grew bigger than we thought she would
He was panting too much
If I’d known anything about beagles, I wouldn’t have
got one
I had to spend an hour a day hoovering (vacuuming) as
he shed so much hair
He is always staring at me - even when I am eating
I got him as a secret Santa present but I don’t have
room for a dog
He didn’t like it when we tried to dress him up
She wags her tail far too much
He doesn’t match our furniture
She sleeps in her own dog bed all night – I thought
she would want to sleep in my bed
According to a new survey of more than 2000 Scottish
dog owners:
16% spent less than two weeks researching before
buying a dog.
One in 15 confessed to buying a dog simply because it was
a cute accessory.
5% bought or received a dog as a Christmas gift.
71% believing their pet would cost them less than the
actual cost of £10,000 (about $13,400) during its lifetime.
The rescuers at Dogs Trust are hoping that this year
will somehow be different, yet bracing themselves for another holiday influx of
unwanted dogs. Claire Carney, assistant manager at the Glasgow rehoming center,
said:
“We really hope this Christmas is the year our nation
of animal lovers finally takes heed of our slogan ‘A dog is for life, not just
for Christmas’ and we don’t see dogs discarded because their owners have not
considered the lifetime commitment of dog ownership.”
