Looking at this issue from my present situation I would be grateful to be able to take an older dog into my home. I have just lost one of mine and miss her so. We are an older couple, always home and not willing to train a puppy. Our two dogs would have to adjust to new company but that could be done. I'm sure there are many people in my condition who probably feel the same. So many of you foster and do such a fine job with animals that come from all sorts of family environments so I think the idea of re-homing is great for all concerned. Change is part of life, health and work impact decisions, in short, giving up your dog will be hard but if you feel she will be better off in another loving home, go for it. |
