Why Adopted Dogs Get Returned

PJ and Christine dig into the real reasons adopted dogs get returned: too much love too soon, unrealistic expectations, not enough exercise, no rules or routine, the wrong match, and life changes nobody planned for. They share what The Little Red Dog has learned from 15 years of rescue about setting a new dog up to succeed, and close with the story of a seven-year-old boy who sold his prized Pokemon card collection to save his sick puppy.
