“Most of the research addressing the issue of adopted animals being returned to shelters has focused on dogs. In a study conducted in Northern Ireland, 556 people completed a survey within the first month of being a pet owner about their experience of dog acquisition. Approximately 12% of respondents stated they no longer had the adopted dog in their home. Out of those who no longer owned their dog, over half (56%) indicated that they had returned their dog to a shelter within the first month. Almost 90% of the participants who returned their dog to a shelter revealed they did so because of behavior issues, and the most common behavior issue that resulted in a return to the shelter was aggression toward humans. Another study looking at dogs who were returned after adoption from a public shelter in Italy found that over half of the participants (54%) returned their dogs due to a behavior issue that included vocalization, hyperactivity, destruction, escaping, disobedience, and aggression.” Information from PubMed Central.
