Jeanie always explains things so well, I love the way she verbalized a lot of my thoughts much better in her post. I was thinking about this if I had to re home a dog I would be afraid to post it on YT. It's not just here but in most dog groups, you are made to feel shame if you decide to rehome a dog. Now often one goes about it in a sort of underground like method. My friend for instance was so afraid for others to find out that I think she limited her opportunities in finding the best home for the dog. She got lucky because by chance started talking to someone in the pet store and it worked out, but she was spending months looking because she did not want to do it here and when she talked about it in our Motor City group or on FB everyone just gave her tips on how to deal with the dog. I know everyone means well and perhaps something can be worked out in this situation, but like Jeanie said not every dog is suited for every owner, to me it is better to move on than to make both the dog and the owner miserable. |
