This cutie was turned into the shelter yesterday because the kid he was bought for didn't want to take care of it. People, please remember that if you buy a dog for a kid under 12, that dog is still YOUR responsibility. Now, that can mean that you remind the kid to take it out and clean up after it, but it should not mean that you give it away. If the kid doesn't take care of it, YOU need to. Pets are not toys to be thrown out if a child misbehaves. They are living creatures that need love and attention. Please, think twice before buying an animal for a child and make sure you are ready to care for it yourself if the child fails to. That said, this little guy is lucky b/c he is so young - we don't usually have too much trouble finding homes for puppies.
