Why was I cast out despite not doing anything wrong?

We strongly believe that companion animals must be members of the family.
When we hear that people want to "use" them -- to be a guard dog, to chase away mice, to teach their children responsibility, and so forth -- that worries us greatly that they will be rejected by the family if they fail to fulfill their intended use.
Mandy is a case in point. The responsibility for her care was apparently thrust upon the children. But caring for a companion animal is an adult responsibility.
When we asked why she was being surrendered to us, the reply was: "Daughter is tired of taking care of her."
Mandy is a magnificent little lady who craves attention.
She is housetrained, good with kind children, and she enjoys other sweet dogs.
Mandy is a Lhasa Apso, spayed, 5 years of age. She debuts for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. Please plan on regular grooming care for her and budget extra accordingly.
