Dogs In Animal Shelters
from:Anyone who has worked longer than two seconds at an animal shelter knows that one of the chief reasons owners drop off their unwanted pets is that they are not house-trained. Shelter
personnel tend to be very world-wise and savvy, and they know that when an owner comes in and says, "We have to move," that usually means "He poops or barks or chews or digs” or whatever verb is appropriate. Shelter personnel often hear phrases like, "He's not as clean as I thought he would be, but I'm sure he would be for someone else," or "He might have a few accidents in his new home but he's really a sweetheart."
All these statements mean that the dog is not housebroken and the owners who adopt should be so informed. There should be a form that is used within each shelter to decode such problems and animals that cannot be placed and that harbor such problems might simply have to be moved up on the list of animals to be euthanized.
Before you disagree, let me say that I have paid my dues in shelter work. I have seen the pain that is involved on both the human and canine end (no matter how benign the euthanization method) when a dog must be eliminated. I do not like the procedure nor the phenomenon.
It is crucial to get the puppy house-trained quickly and effectively, and of providing proper training throughout the dog's life. There is a large surplus of animals waiting for homes. Why place a dog that is known to be a chronic house-pooper? It just doesn't make sense, unless the dog has other appealing qualities and a potential owner who is fully aware of the problem and willing to work with it, patiently and consistently. Any other owner will sour on the dog quite quickly and either return it to the shelter or just abuse it.
Shelter personnel should also have on hand a variety of books, pamphlets and brochures that outline house-training procedures. Often clients will leave the shelter completely in the dark as to what to do once they get the puppy home, and will subsequently bungle the house-training process. A simple pamphlet or, better yet, a short consultation and a pamphlet at the shelter would have prevented many a returned puppy.
