Thoughts on re-homeing What are your thoughts on re-homing? |
I feel that when a person can't or won't love, and give the dog the attention, love and care a dog deserves then is Time to give the dog the oportunity to look for what he deserves with a family or individual that can provide all that for him or her.. I have an open door no questions ask for puppies that i have bred, because I belive on second chances for the dogs.. hugs, |

Alot of times it is alot of angish for someone to even consider rehoming and I understand that. If the person is putting whats best for the dog first and have considered all other alternatives then I feel its okay to rehome. |

Always the safety and security of the pup must be considered. If there's someone out there who is willing and able to give a dog a happy, loving and stable home... then why not? What I don't agree with is people trying to recoup costs or purchase fees on a dog that is being re-homed. If you need to find him or her a home, then the home they go to should be the biggest consideration, not making a few bucks. That kind of thing angers me :mad: |
I agree 100% :thumbup: |
Just curious . . . who is rehoming? |

It is placing ones' dog in a new home due to various reasons. |
I agree with all of the above. Often people don't realize how much work, money, time, love must go into a puppy/ dog. They often have some idea, then when they get the dog they are overwhelmed. If someone can't give the dog all the attention they deserve and NEED then the dog should be rehomed. Most people should be more responsible in the first place and put the preparation and time into getting a puppy before adopting one. |

I will say one thing: I HATE when people get dogs as gifts because more times than not, they end up going from home to home, but that is just a pet peeve of mine. I do appreciate when people actually interview and get references from the perspective new family. That truly shoes that they care about the best interest of the dog. |
I think someone who needs to rehome for a really good reason, medical, death, new crazy hour job etc then what's best for the dog is best, period. What I cannot stand is someone who gives away a dog because of training/behavior problems (their fault), or because cute little puppy grew up to a not as cute or small dog. Case in point, a lady I know has a dog and she wants to give him away because she is getting a NEW DOG!!!! That is going to be "smaller" and "cuter". BARF I really read into her, I think thats mean mean mean!!! |
I agree with the first answer. It is a very person and individual thing. I think that there are a lot of people who get a dog and don't realize the responsibility that is involved in caring for such a social creature. Circumstances also change. I believe that a dog that is not getting the proper amount of social interaction and love should be re-homed if the owner does not have any intention of changing the situation. |
I think that rehoming can be the most selfless, loving thing a pet owner can do. If the dog is not getting the proper training, socialization, attention, etc from their current home for whatever reason, the moxing loving thing an owner can do is to find a loving home for that dog. I would hope a person would know what they were getting into before taking on the responsibility of a pet, but often people don't really understand what they're are taking on and, of course, personal situations do change. I think what's important is doing what's best for the dog and not worrying what others think. |
I think rehoming can be necessary, and is a good idea if done for the right reasons. We got Louie because a coworker of mine had rescued him, and as her son got older she could not get him to stop being rough with Louie. He would pull on his hair and ears and throw him around, and for some reason her son simply wouldn't stop, no matter what she did. It ended up escalating to her son being bitten, and she had no choice (in her mind) but to rehome him. She knew that we were looking for a dog, and we wanted a Yorkie, so it worked out really well, although we did still have to go through the rescue and officially adopt him because that's how her adoption contract had orignally read. I feel incredibly blessed that she rehomed him. He has made us so incredibly happy, and is so happy with us, and my coworker even said that she can tell by the pictures that I have posted on Facebook how much happier he is, because he lounges around with DH, and is always with us, whereas at her house he was always hiding from her son. |

Sometimes rehoming can mean that the person actually puts the needs of the dog first. There are many times I've read about circumstances where I wish the people would rehome, but they are just too selfish, and they think of their own needs first. So, we can’t group all rehomes into one category, it can be the greatest show of love there is, similar to giving a baby up for adoption. |
