"Dumb" reasons pets are surrendered to shelters list includes some reasonable reasons
So I bumped into this article of dumb reasons pets are surrendered to shelters. Some of these are ridiculous but some seem reasonable to me.
Let's analyze.

1. I myself am not a fan of shy dogs. I am an outgoing person so I like my dogs to be this way. But in my case I would have just not adopted the dog.
2. Dog is fearful of men. Show of hands here. Who here likes to have dogs lashing out at them, run away from then, be bit, and be barked at? Oh no one. This is a tough one here. This can be trained out of the dog, but like all undesirable behaviors that the dog already contains, they are hard to train out of. If this woman is single, this will make dating life **** for her. If this woman is married, it could also complicate things. If I was a woman I probably would have returned him too.
4. This is probably a really common reason dogs get surrendered to shelters. People get a dog and then realize they have no time for it.
5. Fearful and reactive of everything. I myself am not a fan of fearful dogs. This dog is also an American Bulldog, a large dog with a pretty good bite. I would have brought him back too, this dog is a liability if it's "reactive" to everything.
12. If no one is taking care of the dog then this is for the best.
The rest are absolutely ridiculous.
