Holly Sizemore, Chief Mission Officer at Best Friends Animal Society, told Bored Panda that shelter and animal welfare workers have pretty much heard every random story on why people give up their pets. "Occasionally, there are reasons like 'Oh, we got a new couch and now the dog's fur doesn't match it' or 'the cat hisses at my boyfriend every time he comes over and he's offended' but these random and quite frankly, nutty, reasons are rare," Sizemore said.

Most people, according to her, cite having to give up their pet due to having 'too many animals' and 'housing issues', situations that often result in a homeless pet and a heartbroken family. If you're interested, here's a comprehensive article and data analysis on the most common reasons why people surrender their animals.

We were not living together, and I’m allergic to dogs. That didn’t matter, HE wanted me to have one, so he demanded I rehome the cat. I rehomed him instead. The look on his face when I took him to his mother’s house was pretty priceless.

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) This is my favorite story from when I worked in a shelter. A guy came in to surrender his cat, with the reason that his girlfriend didn't like her. He starts filling out the paperwork, but partway through he just stops and says, "Screw this. I'm just going to break up with her instead." He picks up the cat and walks out the door, presumably to leave his GF. I hope he stuck to it and he and his cat got a happy ending.

Luckily, Sizemore said that some couples are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain both their relationship and their pets. "We also hear a lot about how potential romantic partners stand no chance unless they show interest in and are 'approved of' by a pet," Sizemore added. "I know of a story where a couple who fell in love and wanted to get married were instrumental in changing their local town's archaic and overbroad pet-limit law. They each had 2 dogs and wanted to marry and move into the same household with their 4 dogs, but the pet limit in their town was 2 cats and 2 dogs in total (despite no evidence showing that limiting the number of pets/species per household creates more responsible pet owners or fewer nuisances in a community. Cruelty, nuisance, and negligence laws are the best tools to tackle legitimate pet-related issues). For this couple, the thought of giving up any of their furry beloved family members was unacceptable, so they helped get their local community to repeal the outdated pet limit law."

"I also know of another couple who chose to live in separate households because one had cats and one had dogs that really wanted to eat the cats. The woman in this couple joked that the pets (and really maintaining separate households) was the secret to their very happy relationship."

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) I had an incredibly toxic boyfriend who had at one point paid the fee for a rescue cat for me for my birthday. the cat REALLY didnt like him, she wasnt aggressive she was just skittish and didnt want to be around him. We had gotten into a fight earlier that day about something unrelated and he decided to start ranting about the cat and how he believed we should get rid of her, that she was a bad animal JUST because she was skittish ( she was a rescue!! and a very loving one at that if you let her come to you when she felt safe ).

He started to threaten to leave her at the humane society or get rid of her when i wasnt around so i couldnt stop him. I told him to get out of my house and immediately broke up with him. Butters is still making quality biscuits at my side and loves to take naps with me :)

There have also been very interesting studies on the subject. A survey carried out by Rover.com, for example, found that 60% of couple owners said that bringing up a dog together made their relationship stronger. But that's not all. Half of the participants said their canines had helped them spend quality time together, as a couple.

Which, when you think about it, is understandable. Around 88% of those surveyed also said that raising a dog requires teamwork and 65% agreed that trust is needed, too. Both are important factors for a thriving relationship, so constantly working on these attributes is bound to produce valuable results for the couple's everyday life as well.

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) I remember him saying my diabetic cat needed to go so he could get a dog. We weren't even living together. I looked him dead in the eyes and said. "My cat will outlive this relationship" considering she was really sick at the time he said it was unlikely and stormed off.

We broke up 6 years ago and my cat is still going strong.

Sizemore reminded people that there may be occasional legitimate reasons to ask someone to give up their pet for you. "Say for instance, if you were deathly allergic to cats and could not be around them without risking anaphylactic shock. However, anyone worth their salt as a romantic partner would never make such a request unless it was absolutely necessary and unless there was a clear positive alternative for the pet and their partner (maybe the cat is very much loved by the next-door neighbor who would happily give a great home to the kitty)."

"Bottom line, despite all the love and joy pets give us, they aren't without occasional challenges," Sizemore highlighted. "Most challenges, whether linked to a romance or not, can be mitigated by a little research, veterinarian, and/or animal trainer or behaviorist. Occasionally, rehoming a pet is in everyone's best interest, including the pet. And, sometimes it's best to rehome the romance."

For more information on pet care, take a look at all the resources provided by animal experts at Best Friends.

I put up with anything and everything for over two years because “I loved him”. The last time I ever saw him he yelled at/hit my dog. I instantly packed my car and dog and left. Immediately filed for divorce. Haven’t seen him since. His lost his wife, source of income, vehicle, maid, scapegoat, bodyguard, sober driver, and emotional support in ten seconds. He was absolutely astounded I chose the dog over him, regardless of how many times he was warned not to act out around her. She is my soul mate and I would die for her.

I’ve raised him since he was a baby with his brother, who passed away two winters ago. When we moved in with my in-laws over the summer, they didn’t want me to bring my rat. I straight up told my partner that I’ll live somewhere else for awhile (we’d been living together for almost three years at that point) because my rat is my responsibility, he’s very old, and that I was going to see him through to the end. They were a little upset and accused me of choosing the rat over them, but I explained that he’s an animal that relies on us. It worked out, I convinced my in-laws to let me bring him, and we’re all still kickin. He’s on his last days and I’m glad I’m here with him. He’ll be buried with his brother when it’s time.

He always commented on my cat’s weight. Even went so far as to stop by a vet and pick up cremation pamphlets so I could shop for urns.

I spent $$$ on all senior bloodwork, checked thyroid, etc. He had a clean bill of health because I always provided the best nutrition and care.

One day I told him, “the next time you mention me putting my cat to sleep or imply I’m not doing right by him make sure your bags are packed.”

He was gone 3 weeks after that. The cat had 3 more wonderful years before cancer got him and I did PTS.

Most were in a specially designed shed outside, but I had a few in the house. Was totally upfront with people when dating, and if it was a dealbreaker, then no hard feelings.

I dated this one guy for a few months, but we'd always go out or to his. I didn't really think much of it. Around month 4, he started getting annoyed and one day, straight up asked me how long it was gonna take to "sell a few spiders".

I thought he was talking about my actual job, so I was like, "oh, I sell them in bulk to a supplier. He's coming round on Tuesday, actually." And my bf was so relieved, but I couldn't really understand why.

So the dude comes round on the Weds and sees the tarantulas in the house and goes on an abolute tirade about how I lied to him, how I've broken his trust, and how he's gonna need time to heal. NGL, I just burst out laughing. I was like, "you really thought I was gonna give up my job for you?"

Well that was apparently not the reaction he expected. He stormed out, yelling about how I was such a dumb bitch for not realising how great he was lmao. Tried to crucify me on social media, but he just ended up looking like an idiot lol

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) I never knew how bad some people could hate cats. Me and my fiancé (seven years)broke up. And I think it was partly because I had gotten a cat a year before she moved in. When she finally moved in, she wanted me to get rid of it. She left after barely six months of living together.

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) My mother chose the dog over my father. My father pretty much just had surprised Pikachu face, and then got really petty in the whole divorce process, and for years afterwards with legal motions, etc. Much of my teenage years consisted of my parents being tied up in court over stupid [things]

I'm told my father is super confused now as to why I won't talk to him.

People Who Had To Choose Their Pet Over Their Partner Reveal How It All Went (35 Pics) Had an old friend who chose her ex's dog over the ex. And though there was no choosing in the "ones not around any more" sense, my dog 1000% loves my husband more than he ever loved me. If I had not married my husband, pretty sure my dog would have given ME an ultimatum.

My now ex and I were together for 5 years when 8 rescued my 3 legged dog kelsey, for some reason he couldn't stand her, she really is the sweetest thing. After 1 year of moaning and threatening me over her I was getting to the end of my tether. We'd been together nearly 7 years when one day he said it's me or the dog, I looked him dead in the eye and told him not to let the door hit him on the way out. He moved out and kelsey and I have since adopted another 3 dogs

I was casually dating a guy who was kicking my cat when I wasn't looking. When I caught him, it made sense why she avoided him and no one else. I beat him out of my house and down all the stairs from my third floor condo. He was almost a foot taller than me but I think he thought I was going to kill him. I have never physically hurt anyone before but when that blind rage took over me, I absolutely lost it.

I would always choose my cat over a boyfriend, but this is not just about loving a pet more than a person. Someone who demands that you give up your pet is an egotist (most likely in other ways, too) and oblivious to the fact that this animal makes you happy. So they don‘t care if you suffer from the loss.

Or worse, they *do* realize how happy the pet makes you, how much you rely on that pet for emotional support & they are jealous, vindictive or both and aim to deprive you of those comforts. I truly could not even be legit friends with somebody that was openly cold or distant with animals. I'm not saying everyone needs to be a crazy pet person like myself but if a person is cold hearted towards critters, it's unlikely I'd ever really trust them or have much in common.

Any person who behaves this way with a pet or a loved one is not going to be a good partner. Some people might not love pets but are neutral about them (often after love them). Some have valid reasons to not want one, like allergies or cleaning; one of my best friends will never have a dog/cat because she loved everything spotless and pets shed. That's all fine. But a person that its like 'I hate dogs/cats", its rude to them or gives ultimatums is a jerk.

My husband wasn't crazy about animals, but he never asked me to choose pets (two cats, a rabbit) over him. He's gotten to like them a bit more. He once surprised me by cuddling a cat that lived in a B&B. We haven't had pets in years, but he does imitations of various animals. Some days, I can't tell the hubby from a baby alpaca ;)

Was seeing someone, when one day out of the blue, he said "When we get married, your cats will have to be outdoor cats." That was first time marriage was mentioned! I just looked at him and said "You'll live outside before they do." We parted ways shortly after that. The strange part was that he & ex had 2 dogs & 2 cats, that were indoor pets.

My boyfriend never liked Cats, arrogant assholes he called them. Before moving in last August, I one time said that he gets me AND a cat, he only said: I know. Mimi needed some time to get used to him, she is not really fond of people who are not me. But in the last few months their love has blossomed and I swear my boyfriend feels SO special when she screams at him for pets. He's in the inner circle now.

When my ex and I split up, we both wanted the dog (we got him when he was a puppy and we had him for 7 years). So, we split custody, we traded him off every week or two. The dog didn't seem to mind, he was always super happy to trade off and he settled into different routines depending on where he was (I had a city apartment, she had a suburban house with yard). Eventually she moved a few states away and the dog went with her, he lived to be 16 years old, I'd still see him every year or two and he always remembered me.

Louloubelle 3 years ago

Speaking personally, I could never imagine being with someone who doesn't like or want pets. But that's me. In some ways, it's about having common interests. That being said, when I met my husband, I told him there would never be a time that I wouldn't have at least one cat and dog. It was as we called it a "dealbuster". He told me, he had two kids, and they would be his priority. I completely understood that. We have been married 22 years, had another two kids, many cats and dogs (never given one away - they all crossed the Rainbow Bridge). And I know I will get a lot of grief for this, but I simply don't trust people that don't like animals. If you don't agree, that's fine. But this is a metric that I use. I just find that people that don't like animals are either mean or self-centered, and I don't want anything to do with either.

My a-hole ex-husband got rid of my cats when we split up, without warning or saying anything to me. He also got rid of my daughter's cat while she was at school. Because he didn't want to pay for her to be neutered. Unfortunately my daughter couldn't come and live with me; I was in a very abusive relationship and had just had a mental breakdown.

I had been dating a guy for awhile when he was going to first stay the night. I had a Dalmatian and a small mixed breed dog that slept with me. He said the dogs couldn't sleep on the bed now that he was here. I told him it was my bed and they were here first and if he kept up that nonsense they would be there much longer than him. Luckily that shut him up and we're now on out 4th dog together who doesn't share our bed, but only because he's huge! And the dog would rather sleep with his human sister

Hubby says the most brutal things about my cat, like how he's going to throw her out of the window if she won't leave the curtains alone, or he'll drop-kick her across the garden for sitting on his laptop. Thing is, he's even soppier about her than I am and would probably choose her over me anyway! He stays awake worrying if she doesn't come straight back in after dark, he feeds her treats, he sleeps with her curled up on his pillow and I know he'd never actually hurt an animal in any way.

I giggled. That's because if my pet rabbit was chewing on something precious, I would ever-so-sweetly threaten him. Draze test, no-so-lucky rabbit's foot, etc. He'd scram. He was an adorable little bugger, thought he was the centre of the universe, and very affectionate.

I don't think people should put up such "People: X+ years of love and emotional investment will trump your new relationship, every time" PSAs...

We NEED such views into their lack of soul/decency.

But animals are the bests to detect it. Once i had a new boyfriend home then my dog has peed on his dog basket (dogs won't do it unless they are really ill or scared). I was thinking "i hope that he don't have a urinal infection or something". 5 minutes later the new boyfriend had a paranoia crisis... The dog just knew that was coming. They feel a lot of things, always trust animals.

I also like dogs (should had mentioned this at first 😅) we had one when I was a kid. But I can't stand when people let their dogs in bed. We got to his home from an all day walk, it seemed to be THE night, but at the moment we got there, the doggo jumper directly into the bed, as she was used to. I was like "sorry, I can't..." and left. I didn't want to make him to choose but I simply can't share bed with a dog, seems disgusting to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

People shouldn’t be nasty to you. Women are allowed to decide to not have sex/continue dating for any reason or no reason. Men too. You’re not like the people in the stories because you were honest with him, remained true to your own needs and didn’t make him choose. I think it’s great that you understood and respected his bond with his dog. People being nasty to you aren’t thinking this through.

Never even consider chosing any human over your pet. They truly love you, they cannot play that. They rely on you regarding everything in their life. Any so-called significant other even trying this ultimatum BS is allowed to immediately leave and never come back. Their stuff, well, they'll get an ultimatum, if this expires, I have a nice front lawn and might feel like putting stuff outside. I come with Gina, and I won't come without her for the next approximately 20 years. And Gina will not be the last cat to live with me - life isn't life without a cat...

My partner and I had a Mastiff. She was 5 when we split up. She stayed with him and I had her the weekends I wasn't working. Great for the 1st year then he developed a meth addiction. For the next two years he neglected her. We split because of violence so I was terrified to confront him. I bought her her food and meds and picked her up and walked her when he went to work. He became homeless and reluctantly gave her to me. For the next 18 months we endured him taking her and returning her in a deplorable state. The last time I said no more and stood my ground. I can tell you, it hurt. Alot. But it was worth it. We moved states away and I had her till she passed. She was his best friend and untill the drugs she had been his life and I was happy with her being with him. It broke my heart to have to take her from him, but in the end you have to make a choice.
