I don't know much about this, getting an older dog that was for breeding, but I agree with Cindy. Call a rescue. I believe they will find the best home for her. Unless someone in this site would take her hearing your story. A lot of caring people here with patients.

Im so sorry you have to give her away. I know this must be hard for you. I sure pray she finds a home.

I agree with Cindy and PipersMommy. I think you would be doing a great thing for Daisy if you would let a rescue organization find her next home.

No regrets when we're doing the best thing
 

I had to give a much loved cat away when my first grandaughter was born. She was allergic and I had a crib with all of the trappings, toys, bottles, etc. all ready set up so that she could sleep over a lot.

I took little Princess, who was a 4 year old cat, to a wonderful vet who sets up adoptions. He only dealt with kittens, but when I brought her in, he fell in love with her, Well - she was adopted the next day! I left my phone number so that the new family coud call me and let me kow how everything was going, if they had questions, etc. They never did - obviously never needed or even wanted to. I just know in my heart that she was happy with her new family and couldnt possibly stay in mine.

Things always work out for the best.

Good luck and I'm sorry that you're sad.

Does anyone know if Daisy found a forever home yet? :confused:

aww i hope you get her to a good home i'm so sorry you have to go through this

I think you are a very grand wise person to make this desion, you must be a great mother to your boys also. to know what is best for all your kids,
furry ones too.
good luck and hugs to you all

I would look inot rescue they can find a home that would suit her criteria.

Amy, I know you've agonized over this decision. You need to do what's right for you and your family. I couldn't think of a better home than with Val (Passionfruition). I hope everything works out for the best!

Did Val get Daisy?! :confused:

Amy,

I am sorry for what you are going through. I know that you have made a very hard decision in your home about Daisy. I will also say that sometimes in life we have to make selfless decisions. In my opinion your decision came out the what is best for Daisy. You mentioned she is not comfortable in your home and for that reason she needs to be with an older couple that could be with her all day and no children.
Amy this will be long but I am going to tell you how I ended up with Phoebe.
I did not go out looking to buy a Yorkie. I knew a family that had 3 very very active boys. One day they went to the pet store and saw this litttle itty bitty puppy, and guess what? With out knowing anything about the breed bought it. Besides the boys being in what I call permanent overdrive all the time, they also traveled alot and did alot of camping ect. Where did this leave Phoebe? At the kennel. So after they had her for about 1 year I said that I would be happy to puppy sit her when they were gone. I should also mention that Phoebe would not eat for them, she went to bathroom in their house( I think they were just to busy to remember), she would hide and not come out unless someone came to the door.
This is really how it worked Phoebe usually ended up with me for 2 weeks every month. During the time she was with me she ate, my family often joked about what a little pig she was. I would get some weight on her and then she would go back and lose the weight, because she would not eat. After 2 years of this they called me and said that Phoebe is so much happier when she is with you. Would you like to have her permanently? Of course I said yes! They also requested that she be able to come and visit with them from time to time. When Phoebe came to me full time you could feel every single rib, every point of every vertabrae in her back. She was not healthy, her hair could not grow. Anyways, I got weight on her her hair started growing and growing and growing. The previous family did request to see her and it was always the same, she would refuse to eat, ect. I knew it was not in her best interest to have her go, but what do you do? They were her previous owners and that is what we agreed on. In July Phoebe very unexpediately passed away and my heart was literally ripped out of my chest.
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted you to know that good things can happen for daisy. But, take your time in finding her a home.You know what her issues are. I would look for someone that has previous experiance with the breed.
I wish you the best and you are not a bad person for doing what is right for Daisy.

Oh my...poor little Phoebe. You have such a kind heart and soul to care for this little girl when she wasn't even yours! May she rest in peace. :cry:

Val said in this thread that she would take her in a minute...seriously.

Amy - You're doing exactly the right thing. Often the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do ---more power to you.

I had to rehome a loveable, affectionate, little parrot (that was so bonded to me - and me to it) when I got my little Yorkie. The parrot was used to being out of the cage a lot and going around the house with me, but after the pup jumped on him three times (playfully - but this could still have easily hurt him or killed him) - I decided that if that little bird was killed or seriously hurt by my little dog - I would never forgive myself. So - my little parrot went to a wonderful new home. I still miss him every day. Of course, I do!

Our pets - when they go to new homes where they are loved and taken care of adjust very quickly.

My only advise would be - that since he is being rehomed this one time - be as sure as possible that the next home will be as perfect as possible for him. I don't doubt that a lot of people will want your little guy - but you just be very particular about where he goes.

PS: My rehoming my parrot was a real success story. I hate to admit it but even though he was very happy and really loved here -- he really went to a much better home. Now he has a stay-at-home mom (which I know he will love - he was always so excited to see me whenever I came home). And, he has three other bird friends (one he's in love with). Plus at that house, the bird cage doors are open and the birds can come and go as they want. It's like bird heaven for him! And, they adore him. So - I really lucked out.

Good luck finding the perfect home for your little pup.
