Yes, sadly that's very common. When I still volunteered at a shelter, the relatives often wanted to bring such pets to us. If we had a vacancy, we took them.
Unfortunately it's also not uncommon here to just throw the unwanted pets out on the street. Dogs maybe not so much, but cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and so on.
