Daughter's friend's father was given a little pup, some kinda corgi/chihuahua type mix and he's refusing to let it come in the house

awwww

We've talked about adopting another pet because there's such an influx at the shelters

Why did he accept the pup if he didn't want it? I'd have simply said no.

sounds like a rescue is imminent.

there is a lot of influx into the shelters we got 3 new dogs today
