The worst part about the excuses is when the animal is only a few months old. You didn't know you were having a baby 2 months ago? You didn't know your finances were bad? You didn't know your work schedule was too much for a puppy? I know circumstances change, but come on, you can't say you have to give up your 4 month old dog because you are moving and you had no idea 2 months ago that things may not be stable in your living situation. I won't buy that for adults unless you had a house fire or a hurricane.
