I think my problem with re-homing is that many people just
give up on their pets. That is something I could never do. I specifically wanted a young adult dog, not a puppy, so that I would have a good feel for his or her personality before I brought them into my home. When I met Levi, it was love at first sight. He was active, social, playful...everything I needed and wanted in my little canine companion. He did have a few issues that we worked through relatively easily.
Should something ever happen to me, Levi will undoubtedly be taken care of. I've already made those arrangements, and honestly, I have 4-5 relatives/friends that I trust and who know exactly how I prefer he is cared for that would take him in a heartbeat. I am very lucky that I do not have to worry about his future. But I do wonder about pet owners who do not make specific arrangments for their pet's futures.
