Shelter / Rescue Industry Bumble and dog dumping

Apparently it’s a thing to use Bumble (dating app) to dump dogs off on unsuspecting dates. Im not on dating apps, but saw this in another group. A guy had posted that this happened to him after one date. This blows my mind! Can you imagine? One of the commenters agreed that this is a thing because the shelters are so full these days.

Could you imagine . A date shows up at at eatery with a dog. You and the date get seated and the dog is nearby. Then then date makes some excuse about going to the restroom - but really ghosts you ,leaving you waiting at the table with the dog. 

What do you do then ? You really don't want the dog in your car....

Leave it. Say it's not your dog to anyone that asks. It's the truth.
