The best excuse I heard when I volunteered at the humane society in Tucson 15 years ago.... wait for it...
"I just had my living room completely re-done and my beautiful cat no longer matches the furniture".

I couldn't make that up if I wanted to!

I had to give up a dog - I adopted him and had him 2 weeks when he attacked my older dog. He attacked my old dog 3 times, the 3rd time he bloodied up the back of my arm when I was trying to body block him - he just would not stop.
I can't remember crying so hard as when I had to find a new home for him. I did it on my own, though, I did not go through a "rescue organization".
