then it's 'We can't handle his humping, snip time!' or 'I can't handle the barking! You're out boy..' or 'You -ate- off my plate? How -dare- you, to the shelter!'.

Fortunately, lots of people don't go directly to the pound first, and try to re-home.  All the dogs I/we have ever had (except a dobie puppy we got when I was about 10 yo) have been re-homes, inherits, midnight rescues, adopts in some way of adult dogs no longer wanted or could cope with.  The VERY BEST dog I ever owned was a giveaway "outlaw" Great Dane.  My point being, there's no reason to pay a boatload for a puppy, there's a lot of wonderful purebred perfect dogs that are misunderstood or mis-handled that you can get (intact if you get them before the shelter does) free or very reasonable, and save from that awful "shelter" experience.  (Heartily recommend craigslist, use the anon relay email, meet in a public place.)
