“Our members realize that their busy work, family or travel schedules make full-time ownership unfair to a dog,” said Marlena Cervantes, company president and innovator. Here’s her pitch: “A Flexpetz membership enables them to become part of each Flexpetz dog’s extended family by providing a level of dog ownership on an occasional basis, while imparting each dog with the love of multiple human friends.”
The dogs are all AKC Canine Good Citizens — some are certified therapy pets — and chosen for their stellar personalities. Members can borrow them for hours or days for a monthly membership fee of $39.95, plus a daily fee.
What is your opinion on this? Should dogs be rentals or should they have forever homes?

I never though of this before but I guess it is a good idea if the money will be put to good use. Since many dogs in shelters are just laying around in cages all day waiting to be killed, this could be a way to socialize an animal, while they are getting some love and attention. The money could be used to feed unwanted pets.
