Ok so having a dog means you are not going to leave your door open for them to run out. Being responsible enough to take the dog outside so the don't have accidents inside. I have had many dogs. I ended up giving away the crates and gates that I bought because I didn't ever need them. It makes me sad that people would rather have the dog homeless or in a shelter that very well might euthanize them, vs a home where they're wanted just because they are asking for things that are not even REALLY necessary. I think I will unfollow this sub now.
