Could I do it, if it meant that my girl was going to have the most wonderful life and make someone very happy, probably yes. My girls are retired champions, yes, alot of money went into championing them. However, if I needed to do this, it would probably be for the cost of spay and teeth cleaning. |
I agree I do not think it is a bad thing to rehome a dog.
One of my females who I had spayed and a puppy that I hand raised from birth I gave to my mom .
A male I used I had neuterd teeth cleaned, shots all updated and gave to my son.
Yes we love them like no other but sometimes they deserve a little more than what we can give them like more one on one, more play time and walks etc
And we have to love them enough to do what is best for them and sometimes that is rehoming them.
I would only charge the spay cost to rehome, for my mom and Justin I gave the dogs to them and paid for all of vet bills myself. I just wanted them to be loved and in a great home with alot of attention and that is just what they are getting
