Going to college
It's our son's pet but he's away at school now and we don't have the
time; we'll just tell him it ran away.
Apartment/Townhome/Condo/etc. doesn't allow pets
Needs room to run/roam
We got it for the kids but they won't take care of it.

He chases the new kitten
She doesn't like the new puppy
He tracks mud all over the new carpet
She got lost, and we got a new one by the time she showed up at the
pound, so we left her there
He (a twelve week old puppy) refuses to be housebroken, and we hit him
every time he goes in the house. I'm worried, 'cause you can
only hit a dog so much before it turns vicious, and I'm afraid
it will start biting the kids.
She (the pet) had a nervous breakdown
She's seven years old now and can't make puppies anymore.
Too friendly
He keeps jumping on the kids, and the kids are now afraid of him.

We're remodeling our kitchen and didn't have time to take her to puppy
class, and now she's too rowdy

spend another penny on medication
It makes me sad to have her around

Drools all the time
We're putting the house up for sale and it won't show well with a dog.
We bought him/her for conformation shows and he/she didn't win (eight
month old puppy)
Her ears won't stand. (un-cropped Dobie bitch 5 months old.)
Took him to Schuntzhund, now he is too aggressive.
Had a friend, make him a guard dog, now all he wants to do is bite
people.
I trained him myself to be a protection dog, now he's trying to kill
me.
He rides my leg.
He always has an erection, when company comes over, it's too
embarrassing.
He peed on the baby.
He won't defend me! My husband beat me and the kids, and the dog ran
away! (8 month old abused Rottie).
He makes a mess in the bathroom, every time I give him a bath.
He gets car sick. ( wanted the dog for protecting their car, while
they're shopping in Florida)
It wants too much attention
Her teeth are crooked
She keeps having puppies
She got pregnant again
She's a slut
