If you try this at my local shelter, not only will they deny the adoption they will forward your information to all the shelters within 75 miles so they know not to adopt to you plus they may or may not post on facebook about you.
I follow their page on facebook and I've seen a couple posts shaming people for trying to drop and swap, they also do the same to (convicted) animal abusers.
This story is a few months old (if not over a year) and apparently the reason why they put this pup in a shelter is because the dog's owner died so the dog was very sad. The family thought the dog would just be sad if he lived in the same house because he'd be reminded of the man.
Still, I think that's a shitty excuse and they should've at least ensured the dog is in good hands. I have nothing against dog shelters but most shelters just don't have the money to keep the dogs comfortable. I donate to my local shelter but it's not enough, the dogs still live in cages and only have bowls and booths in there. And even then, coming to the same shelter for a different dog is just the biggest "fuck you" the family could've done.
If I remember correctly, the story has a happy end as the dog was adopted shortly after the story became viral.
TL;DR: I provided some context to the story but it doesn't change the fact that those people are heartless bastards who deserve to be impaled by Vlad.

Poor baby! I hope he got a nice loving home afterwards :( people who do this sort of shit can go fuck themselves with a cactus!
Me: Hello, yes you are the one that left the sad dog at the shelter
Them: Yes... Why?
Me: Just one moment I think I forgot the chainsaw, I swear I had it next to the skinning knife...
third has a natural aversion to canines. Things like this almost amuse him, but it's okay because he's probably never going to be adopting one then adandoning it later.
Poor thing, he must've been bitten by a dog when he was little to hate dogs so much. Though, judging by his other comments, it's more likely he was dropped on his head as a baby.
He isn't just abandoned
He isn't wanted...
