    Open AccessKatrina E Holland, Sarah Weidman et al.ARTICLEHuman-Animal Interactions2025

    Background: Relinquishment of companion dogs is a major global animal welfare issue, with dog behaviour a commonly reported factor. Key to reducing relinquishment is an understanding of how people come to the decision to relinquish dogs. In this study, we address this need by using in-depth interviews to explore the relinquishment decision making experience of UK dog owners, most of whom were struggling with their dog’s behaviour.

The study found a close link between…

  • Reasons for Relinquishment and Return of Domestic Cats (Felis Silvestris Catus) to Rescue Shelters in the UK

    Rachel A Casey, Sylvia Vandenbussche et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2009Cited by: 6References: 12

Identifying the reasons why owners decide to give up their pet is an important step in the development of education strategies to encourage retention of cats by their owners. In addition, identifying why adopting owners fail to retain their new cats is important in the refinement of homing policies. Characteristics …
