The SPCA objects strongly to the rent-a-pet concept/practice whether it involves an owned pet or shelter animal. We believe that there would be welfare issues for any pet that is passed around repeatedly to different homes, for temporary interludes, as there would be varying expectations of the pets from every household, and inconsistent levels of treatment by those renting. And if the individuals are not experienced at keeping pets, there are likely to be welfare problems such as stress, due to adapting to new and unfamiliar environments and people. Stress in turn could bring about illness as well.
