:I think it is nice that there are programs like this, but what I can't understand is why does someone gets a pet and not be able to afford the needs of that pet?

:Min
:
Because some people do not realize that having a pet can be VERY expensive (I didn't, for once, but that hasn't deter me from being responsible for my babies).
Also, there STILL are people who are not aware of the pet overpopulation problem and do not consider (out of ignorance for the most part) that spaying/neutering their animals is a REAL Life saver.
As for me, I am very glad for these kind of programs because allow people like me (who DO live paycheck to paycheck) to have the chance to enjoy such beautiful companions, and allows us to keep them in good health.
