Some dog owners complain about their pooches being too loud or hyper, but a family in Arizona returned a dog to the shelter for being too good.
A good boy named Binx was taken back to the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA because the people who adopted him claimed he was too perfect.
Within 48 hours, Binx was back at the shelter with a note that said he is potty trained, good with kids, fun to play with but just not enough of a challenge.
The shelter posted, “I’m Binx, And I am TOO good of a dog. No Seriously! I was adopted and returned within 48 hours, with notes saying I’m potty trained, good with kids, fun to play with, and good with dogs in the home! They decided they wanted more of a challenge, and I think the only challenging part of me is how devastatingly handsome I am - I can’t get anything done here at the shelter because everyone is petting me, telling me what a good boy I am, and taking me for walks. So if you’re ready for a handsome, well-mannered pup, here I am!”
The post has been shared more than 100 times with most people confused about the reason this seemingly lovable dog was returned.
One person said, “Hopefully you didn't let those ridiculous adopters get another dog.”
Another said, “It boggles my mind how people take pet adoption so flippantly! A pet is a living breathing thing, not a disposable item. You deserve a family better, sweetie. Happy new home to you soon, sweetie pie!”
In the meantime, Binx is enjoying being called handsome and receiving all the pets and hugs.
