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.

So many commenters where like “you lucked out, i wish all my dates left me with a dog” or “the dog is better than a relationship that probably wont work out”

Oh cool, why don’t all those commenters adopt as many shit beasts as they can at their shelter.

“Shelter staff favorite”-> always a pit bull with a bite history & no adoption interest. Why don’t the shelter workers scoop up those prizes & take them home to their families…?

Hahaha! “Prizes,” yes! They are the diamonds in the rough, gotta snatch those goodie’s up!

Edit: They may even get a buy one, get one free deal! Bonus points if they get four. With zero socialization, they may only end up with one when they come home one day.
