If it wasn’t for valid medical reasons, than its simply an excuse to abandon the poor dog.

Its one thing if you cannot afford expensive medical treatment for your pooch but I don’t tolerate surrendering a pooch out of desire for a lifestyle change.

There is a difference between genuine compassion and human selfishness.

I agree. If the dog is in pain and you cannot afford to fix the problem, what do you do? I would not want to put the dog down! I would be HONEST about the dog's medical condition and find an owner who loves Dobermans and has lots of money.

Anyone surrendering their dog because they seek a lifestyle change lacks a soul. I want that dog out of that miserable owner's lives as soon as possible but there's risk such a dog gets put down!
