| I see nothing wrong with rehoming a pet -- if it is necessary. And - if any of you ever have to do this - I admire you for doing it - sometimes the right thing to do is also the hardest thing to do. I have had to rehome three pets during my life. 1) When I was young - I had a beautiful Irish Setter, but unfortunately we lived in a neighorhood where dogs were being poisened (poison meat was being thrown into our yards). Eventually, my dog was also poisoned, but thankfully we were able to save her. My father, however, said "No more of this. Flicka has to go to a safe new home." I was devasted and heartbroken, but it was the right decision for my father to make. (One afternoon 11 dogs were poisoned - and remember, many little children played in these same yards where the poison meat was being thrown.) Prior to this -over a five-year period, I had two dogs that did die from being poisoned. We kept thinking that it wasn't going to happen anymore - but it did. So my father was right when he said, "No more......." 2) My husband and I had a lab that we truly loved....but, we ended up living in a condo - and having to travel a lot for work. This wonderful dog went to a great new home with children and lived happily where he was able to run and play. We visited him often - and, he would sit with the children to tell us goodbye..... it was evident that he enjoyed seeing us, but he let us know in no uncertain terms that he wanted to stay with the children. We felt so good whenever we visited him in his happy new home. 3) I also had to rehome a parrot - and - this was really one of my greatest success stories. I really loved this little bird and still miss her every day. I hate to admit it - but she went to a home that was much better than mine. She ended up with a stay-at-home mom (whom she immediately bonded totally to) and has three bird friends. She actually has chosen one to be her boyfriend. They are inseparable. Plus - at this house - the cage doors are left open and and all the birds are free to come and go and visit one another all they want. She is very happy in her new home. ------------------------------ My point is that there are times when rehoming a pet is the best thing to do. And - isn't it wonderful when it is being done so that the pet can enjoy a better life. For anyone to steadfastly say that they don't believe in rehoming a pet -- is speaking without thinking. There certainly are times when it is for the pet's benefit to do this. **** And, I have yet to see a well adjusted little pet (key word!) that can't go to a new home where it is loved and well taken care of and not be happy there. Stop and think about all the rescue animals and rehomed pets that many of us have - that are living a wonderful life filled with love and care. So - if, after a lot of thought - any of you ever feel you need to rehome a pet - the only advise I can give you - is to be sure that you find the best home possible. Take all the time you need and be sure that you find a wonderful home - a place where your pet will be well taken care of and loved a lot. This will not only make the change easier for your pet, but it will ensure his having the good life that you want him to have, and it will always give you good thoughts whenever you think about him ---which you will be doing forever! I really have respect and admiration for anyone who rehomes a pet for the right reasons and in the right way. It's not easy to do, but often it is the best thing to do. Good luck! Carol Jean |
