| just need to vent! ok so to those of you that re-home your baby Im not saying that its a bad thing if there are REAL reasons for it... but for those that re-home them because they cant potty train them is just ridiculous... Im soooooooooooooooooooooo sick of people like that... its as if their babies are just a piece of furniture that they can get rid of if they dont like it... I hope that those poor dogs get 100 times better forever homes then the ones that so easily gave them up... it makes me soooooooooooooooooooooooo sad to see it happening... I wish I could take them all... but I cant... I just know that I could NEVER NEVER give up my baby!!!! sorry thanks for letting me vent...

| I rehomed my little girl in April and I have been more than devastated ever since. My reasons had nothing to do with potty training nor did I consider her a piece of furniture. I have been trying to get her back and have not been able to do so. The woman that has my little Zoe Girl has had yorkies and had 3 at the time. I think that is safe to say that she is in a good home although I still wish she was here with me. You have absolutely noooooooo clue as what brings a person to do what they do so how can you make suuuuuuccccch a general statement? I just hope that you never are faced with a situation that causes you to think of someone else other than yourself. I hope in the future you think through what you say before you speak. You never know what heartache/circumstance someone has been through so you should not be so easy to judge.

| I waited a year after my Jackson died to get Smoky. Jackson was so affectionate. Smoky is NOT. Smoky was a nightmare trying to pottytrain. I considered finding him a new home. I missed the cuddling, and companionship, it still isn't there with Smoky, but I realize Smoky came from a very sad place, and he is now in my home, and has a great life, or I think he does. I think a lot of his "backwardness" is from being in this ladies basement for 4 months before I found him. When I first got him, he wouldn't even stand up to walk, he would slither all over the house, now he runs even at my moms house he runs. If strangers come, he will slither on the floor, I would never want him to go anywhere he didn't feel comfortable, and the need to slither. It is a horrible decision, like most decisions in life - you never know what - you just have to do the best you can do.

| I'm sure for most people rehoming is a huge and very difficult decision. No matter what the reason (whether you agree with it or not), the individual or family feels they can no longer keep their baby. If this is the case then their baby is better off with another family, they are unable to offer their pet what's needed. At least they're taking the time to find a good home rather than taking their baby to a shelter or pound or God forbid abandoning it in some field. I would not judge too harshly, you can't know the whole circumstance. If you're referring to people who just casually get a pet and decide they no longer want it, then again the pet is better off with someone else. (Although I think in most situations this is not the case, especially on this web site)

| I couldn't fathom giving Lilly up to go to a new home. However, if something happened and I had to, I sure wouldn't want someone judging me because of it. People have things that come up or happen in their lives that they can't help - no matter how much they want to. My mom's always told me one thing that I agree with 100%, don't judge someone else until you've walked in their shoes.

| I really think the OP meant well with her post. I think the OP is referring to the people rehoming specifically because of potty training issues. The people that probably don't but enough consideration into how much training a new small puppy needs. And when that puppy ends up pee'ing or poo'ing all over their house (because of their lack of training), they decide to give up the dog "like a piece of household furniture" instead of put in the time to train. I think the reason she started this thread was because of another thread regarding a dog that was given up for this reason (could be wrong, but I remember just recently reading about this).

I'm sure everyone who posted in this thread who had to rehome thier dogs, did it because they thought it was best for the dog.

| When I was young we had a poodle and we could not train him we tried everything he did a lot of crazy things and with where my family was at then was a hard place to be. Well one day he bit me right over the eye and my parents realized he could not be around kids. So my mom called the spca and at the time there was a program where they would help find a family and Toby got to stay with us until we all agreed on the perfect forever home for him. He found a home about 15 miles south from us with an elderly lady with grown grand kids it was a perfect match big house huge yard and no kids! He lived to be 16 and had a wonderful life I got to visit with him in his home a few times he loved it there and Toby was very happy.
