I can't count the number of times I have seen young couples trying to rehome their pets. Relationships breaking up or realizing they "don't have the time to spend with the dog," you see it every where. If I were a breeder I think I would find it really difficult to find a proper home for a puppy at this point in time. People's lives change so much in a matter of a few short years, especially when they are younger. There are dogs that have had as many as 3 and 4 homes in a matter of a couple of years. It's very sad.
I think you made the right decision. Having a few young children at home is a lot of work. I doubt a puppy would fair very well in such a situation. Here is another reason why pet stores should be put out of business. |
