Looking for a golden retriever, schnauzer or poodle to keep you company, but afraid of having to walk your dog in the rain or feed it while out of town? You're not alone, and now there may be a solution … for a price.
A small, but growing industry now allows want-to-be pet owners across the country to experience the joys of owning a pet, without the long-term, day-to-day hassles.
These folks should try spending time with the homeless pets rather than stuffing someone else's wallet
I can't rep you, cleosmom, but I surely do agreee with your very short and to the point analysis of the situation...the shelters are SCREAMING for people to walk a dog and someone's going to do something ridiculous like rent a dog? Wow - we really have become a nation of instant gratification/now-let's-send-it-back, huh?
That seems rather damaging (psychologically) to the dogs... will they ever have a permanent, stable home? Sorry, but if somebody can't bother with full-time care of a dog, they shouldn't get one - period.
