Very sad for Pooter. I could never give my dogs up for a vacation or anything trivial like that. What would be so wrong with leaving them both with someone you trust while you are gone? I know a family that travels all the time and are gone sometimes a month or more at a time and they leave their dog with a family member during that time. If you really want to give up Pooter, you should return him to the rescue you got him from. A lot of rescues have that stipulation that if you were ever to rehome them, that you need to return them, rather than rehome yourself or give to another rescue.
