No surprise, unfortunately. Dogs were acquired during the pandemic by people who thought they looked cool and then had no idea about training and transition when they returned to work. Very sad. Please research and match a dog with your lifestyle, not a dog that you think is cool or good looking.

Anyone contemplating a dog should dog sit someone else's dog for at least a week. You should really know whether you have the time and attention before getting one.

Also, many people probably found they needed to move or lost their rentals and
found that renting with a dog is almost impossible!

^ Size is also a consideration along with vet bills and grooming expenditures.

To make a dog responsible for one's own sense of happiness and fulfillment is pathetic and irresponsible.

What is wrong with people?

As a Husky owner, this is especially heartbreaking to me. Huskies are a phenomenal breed. A pox on anyone who dumped these dogs!

I'm with Sabra, and we are parents to an Irish wolfhound. You do not see many of them except in Medieval movies with castles.

Huskies are terrific dogs.

If Palo Alto were Nome, AK all 15 would have been adopted as potential sled dogs.
