Some of my other favorites:
-A guy came into the shelter with his 2 dogs and wanted to surrender them. Reason? He was going on vacation and didn't want to pay to board them. He was telling his crying kid "don't worry, we'll get more dogs when we get home."

-A guy brought in his older dog that he had since she was a pup. He wanted to know if we'd trade him straight across for a puppy. He said all his dog wanted to do anymore was sleep.

-One lady brings in 2 litters of kittens every spring. Usually the kittens are euthanized because no homes can be found for them. I asked her why she doesn't have the mother cats spayed and she told me it's too expensive and easier to just bring in the kittens. Fortunately last time she brought in kittens the animal pound agreed to charge her a $12 per kitten euthanasia fee thus making euthanasia more expensive than spaying.

It's amazing how many idiots there are out there who shouldn't own pets but do.
