Something VERY important to consider when placing a young dog, is what plans are in place if the unfortunate happens one or both owners die before their beloved pet does.
I have actually sat in the Vet's office and heard first hand people bring in a relative or friends dog to be put down because the owner passed away and there were no other plans for this pet set in place.
Please make sure you consider the "age-factor" into this placement. |
Have a clause in the contract that the dog be returned to a rescue in the event she can no longer be cared for by the adoptees for any unforseen reasons.... It's sad to think that older people would be denied the chance of having a young canine companion to share and possibly prolong their owns years with....
