Hey, Look! Puppies! Oh. Wait… Crap.

I used to work at the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). We had a guy come through and choose a puppy. We started going through the adoption paperwork.
Me: “The pup will need to have her stitches out on [date].”
Man: “Why does she have stitches?”
Me: “She’s been desexed so she can’t have puppies.”
Man: *Annoyed* “I wanted to get a dog that could have puppies! That way all my friends can have my dog’s puppies.”
Me: “That’s not ideal. People can often struggle to find homes for pups.”
He canceled the adoption and said he’d get a dog elsewhere.
A year later, he came in with five puppies that his dog had had, and he couldn’t find homes for them.
