Exploring the world. Depleting overwhelming energy levels. Testing their owner's boundaries. There are many reasons why pets misbehave. Bottom line is, if you're caring for an animal, at some point they will push your belongings or nerves (or both) to their breaking point. For your pet's and your own sake, however, it's important to keep cool during these times. Accept these challenges as opportunities for growth. But if you really think your companion needs to be punished, you can always shame them online.
There's a Facebook group called Pet Shaming (surprise, surprise), and it's the place people turn to showcase just how naughty their animals can be. From dogs eating money to cats bringing home their dates, here are some of the most popular posts on the group!

True Dat
Geneve Clelland, the person who runs the group, describes it as a place that shows off and shames pets for all the silly, stupid, and unbelievable things they do. "We do not do cute pics and stories but we still love [our pets]," she told Bored Panda.
As of this article, over 100,000 people belong to the group. "Membership has expanded dramatically over the last few months since I took over," Geneve said. "I don't think there's a country which isn't represented in the group!" She thinks what unites all the members has to be the fact that everyone's pets are doing unbelievable things, just in their own ways. And a sense of humor.

Oh No
"We also have a large number of pet owners who have rescues which also bonds them together. It makes them laugh, cheers them up, and takes away from the rest of the crap going on in the world. It's a safe group, we have a zero-tolerance policy and very strict group rules. We only want to see pet shaming in all its hilarious glory!"
According to Geneve, the most popular ways pets misbehave are closely tied with their bodily functions: rolling in poo and eating it, farting. Destroying clothes, walls, furniture, even entire rooms, are also on the list, as well as embarrassing themselves and their owners. "The exotic animals have some very strange habits. For example, we have hermit crabs, cockroaches, lizards, snakes, spiders, birds, horses, ferrets, raccoons, and scorpions which give us many hours of hilarity. The group is mainly dogs and cats though."

My Doofus Of A Dog Followed The Kids To School Yesterday. Here's A Picture Of Him In The School Office, Obviously Quite Ashamed Of His Actions
Whether or not a post goes viral depends on a lot of things, like the way they're written and how guilty or proud the pet itself looks in the picture. While some things are optional, the visuals are a must. "Owners have to add a picture of their pet or we don't approve the post. We really like to see evidence of the crime committed if at all possible!"
The members are also the ones that make the group as cool as it is; they're very protective of the group and its rules. "They are quick to report and to clamp down on members not abiding by them which makes it a better fun group for everyone," Geneve explained. "It certainly brightens the admins' days and the messages and compliments we all get are quite humbling. It’s helped a lot of people with their mental health, cope with Covid, and life in general."

This Is Shadow. Shadow Doesn’t Realise She’s A Sheep
Shadow thinks it’s acceptable to come in the house. She’s not housetrained and thinks my new sofa is the perfect place for a butt scratch. she thinks watching me shower is ok. She screams bloody murder any time day or night if she thinks she needs a cuddle. When she’s mad she chews the wood on the house and paws at the door. Any job around the farm takes twice as long because the idiot is interfering and in my way. But I still really love my shadow

Shadow is happy to have you... but it's obvious you are also happy to have Shadows. Enjoy your special relationship!

I kinda love that people underestimate how mobile three-legged dogs can be. My dog is missing a back leg, and she is FAST. And does this amazing thing where she spins in really tight circles on the rug when she's excited.

This Is Puck. Puck Has Been A Major Pain In My Arse For 14 Years. We Love Puck. Puck Only Loves Puck. Last Week He Hurt Himself And Couldn't Get Up. We Sobbed As We Thought He Needed His Final Car Ride. As Soon As We Scooped Him Up He Miraculously Was Fine (I Think His Hip Was Out Of Socket Until We Picked Him Up.) He Thanked Us By Snatching And Eating An Entire Pizza Off The Table Later That Same Night. Puck Is Also A Junkie And Demands His Meds Morning And Night. We Are Amazed Puck Is Still With Us. Puck Insists On Staying Around Just To Aggravate Us Some More. We Can Shame Puck, But He Has Zero Shame (See The Smug Look On His Face?)

This is quite concerning behavior and needs to be nipped in the bud at an early stage. This sort of dog has a very hard bite and can do a lot of damage.
TheWitchNaru 4 years ago
Yes. This dog will become very aggressive towards anyone who comes near her.

The dog is showing his dominance. Either you get the dog some training or be prepared to have to live with a vicious dog.

Several years ago I had a friend who had dog that showed similar behavior. He (she - don't remember) got so bad about "protecting his owner" that he had to be put down.

There has to be an end to kill shelters. Look at what might not have been here.
Pamela24 4 years ago
It's actually a very very complicated issue. I highly recommend a video about those by Hannah Shaw ("kittenlady"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaKT6v_mAw The best thing that we all can do is support shelters, adopt ourselves (and never buy a pet if not necessary), advocate for spay/neuter programmes and try to educate others.

I had a Great Dane that would do this. He would never bite anyone. Didn't need to. Just stood like a wall in between. My dad use to call him eclipse as he would block the tv when he stood up.

WHY ARE KILL SHELTERS A THING?! Now that we have biden, they will probably be outlawed though.
Claire 4 years ago
I don't think that dogs should be killed in shelters, HOWEVER, kill shelters take in all animals and many of them only put down the ones that are sick or have some serious illness. There are awful kill-shelters that kill animals because they aren't getting adopted and that is horrible and should not be allowed. The no-kill shelters that everyone praises turn away the animals that might need to be put down or would be unadoptable for some reason such as age or maybe even breed. That said, I in no way support killing any animal if they aren't seriously ill (that goes for all pets and the millions of animals bred and slaughtered for food every year). My point is, it is not all black and white, all kill shelters evil and all no-kill shelters saints.

Noodles Is A Dickhead, But The Peak Of His Career Is When He Jumped In The Pellet Jar And Got Stuck. He Was Living The Best Time Of His Life, Eating As Much As He Could, While I Was Almost Crying. Luckily, Just Turning The Jar Upside Down Worked And This Bitch Didn't Got Hurt, Him And Hundreds Of Pellets Just Fell On My Bed! This Pic Went Kinda Viral In Bunny Groups And When Noodles Was Neutered, Months Later, I Told His Name To The Vet And She Asked "Isn't Him The Bunny Who Got Stuck In A Jar?" I Couldn't Believe My Little Asshole Was Famous! She Told Me She Was Proud Of Me For Not Panicking And Getting Him Out Without Harming Him, Then Noodles Took Advantage Of Our Inattention And Tried To Jump Off The Table.
