I can actually see a good side to this. I have never been able to have horses so every weekend until she moved I went to a friends house to care for her horses. She got a break from it, and I got to handle horses. After I went bird crazy when Maria was my only bird I would go to a friend of my dad's aviary, handle his birds for a while, find one that liked me, and take him or her home for about two weeks to a month and I kept doing this until I had enough experience with all ages, personalities, and species of birds that I felt comfortable enough fostering, and it paid off. By the time I would get a foster bird I had already gone through the learning period. This person owned a chain of plant stores and other then his beloved sun conure these birds were cared for by employees, not him. Yes, they bonded to the employee caring for them and a bit to me and would be a bit confused about the change but their owner described it as a wonderful way for me to get experience and for his birds to be socialized.
I don't see how this it too different. Already healthy, healthy checked animals that give people who would otherwise not be able to have their lives enriched by them the experience of having a dog. In fact, I think what I did was much worse because dogs are likely to love the rental person, love the person at home, be a little confused but learn to love it quickly. It also provides a mandatory training course on dog handling, and with how many times they mention the vet bills that Jackpot needed I don't think people are going to forget that dogs are expensive. I'm sure those bills will be brought up repeatedly at the training courses as well. It seems more like people that wanted to be a rescue and decided to try making money instead. It has the possibility to give strength to the mindset of people who already think pets are disposable but I think pet lovers are either going to despise them or love them for giving them an opportunity they wanted but couldn't have responsibly. Would it be better for people who can't give their pets care regularly every single day like most of the costumers it talks of to have a pet of their own and no guarantee he or she will get the care needed? Dogs are surprisingly hardy when it comes to changing homes that doesn't seem like the company to choose dogs that will panic about it. If they have any knowledge of dogs at all, which it seems they do, they chose dogs that will likely find their rental period nothing more then a playdate with a new person.
Not related at all, I just realized that the author of the dolittler blog is the same one who writes a very witty, satirical informative article for Veterinary Practice News when her blog was mentioned in the article. This is despite the fact that both use the same picture.
