I also agree that folks need to be serious about adopting pets, that it is a lifetime commitment. Granted, many young people on YT are seriously commited to their Yorkies, but I think you all are a 'rare' breed. I do wish it was more the 'norm' but people grow and mature differently, at different rates, so not all 21 year olds are responsible to the same level. And some people never learn what commitment really is.

I do think the OP made the right decision to rehome her dogs. She realized hers was not the appropriate situation/lifestyle for these little ones, and that they would have better lives with people who have a more settled life, and a stable home.

Should she have adopted the dogs in the first place? No, she made a mistake, realized her mistake, and wanted to do the next best thing for her pups by rehoming them. Rehoming means that some effort is put in to finding a good home, as opposed to 'dumping' them at the pound or a shelter, or in the street, as many do.

I am sad for the pups that she has made this decision, but she needs to do what she thinks is right for her, and she will have to live with her decision. Hopefully she will learn about making commitments as she matures, and doesn't keep making the same mistake over and over again.
