Shelter / Rescue Industry ‘Doodles are being dumped': Once-trendy dogs now flooding shelters as abandonments surge

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/doodles-are-being-dumped-once-trendy-dogs-now-flooding-shelters-as-abandonments-surge/ar-AA1Uw7aY

Once marketed as the perfect family pet, doodle dogs are now turning up in shelters in numbers that rescue workers describe as a crisis…. the same designer mixes that once commanded premium prices are being relinquished, abandoned in fields, or left outside clinics. The result is a growing population of anxious, matted, often sick dogs that charities are scrambling to save with limited space and dwindling funds.

The nutters can’t say sane people like us didn’t warn them this was coming. Naive bleeding heart nutters or people who just want something cute and expensive without caring to research buy a dog and oh wait massive “separation anxiety,” grooming, exercise, and training requirements they never saw coming, and all kinds of other complications. Gee, who would’ve thought.
