'Worst excuses' people have for returning rescued pets

That's just sad. The moment I saw the first one, I was already tearing up. Did the owners assume that their rescue dog would be a bouncing bundle of pure energy as soon as she was adopted?
I can understand an owner being unable to cope with a particularly reactive dog, if they were not made aware of the possibility before adopting the dog. But surely that's something you'd realise is a possibility if you're going to adopt. Most of those dogs have suffered severe upset during (possibly before) their time spent in shelters. It really shouldn't be surprising if there are behavioural issues afterwards.
The last one... Just wow.

Most of the excuses were downright cruel!
