[Zirconia Wolf]

I'm not sure if it's the obnoxious behavior Maxis insisted on given most of them or my feelings about the whole abandoned animal thing in the first place (most likely a mixture of the two) but yes, I prefer my game set up to have pets available via a phone call or house-merge (created in CAS) rather than as wandering strays.

I also find that the cheats to control & cancel pet actions are an invaluable part of my UserStartUp Cheat file!
