I do not know what kind of response I will get from others on here but I have rehomed a couple of my dogs. I actually cried when the people picked them up. I told them through my tears that I was okay I was just going to miss them. One was allergic to something in my yard. The vet told me that I could keep him on benadryl for the rest of his life and limit his time in the yard or be more humane and thoughtful of him and find him a home where he could live to the fullest. I trusted the vet. It took time but I did find that home. I also had a big dog that bite 2 of my sons friends. We had to pay the ER bill and all for one and the SPCA took him for a few days. We did not know it at the time but his friends were teasing him and spraying him with water when we were not home. That was why he went for them when they were within reach. I even had a trainer come over and see about working with him. She was actually the one who knew of a really great home for him. He has his own recliner style chair in his new home.

Having worked with rescues it would take something that I could not change like the situations above to make me rehome one of my babies. Mine are mine for life. I actually have 2 cats that I rescued because the owners no longer wanted them.

My heart does go out to this woman because she is already suffering and now apparently does not have a caregiver willing to help her enough so that she can keep her baby. Animals have awesome healing powers for our soul and spirit. It is sad that she will not be able to keep this little one that she obviously loves dearly.
