A family member has just passed away, they have a dog . Would you keep the pet because no one else will have it ? I don't want to because I have young children and I don't really like dogs but I feel bad not taking care of it. Any advice please
It's just myselfI would, but I’m a massive dog person. It would break my heart thinking of the poor dog losing its person then going with people it doesn’t know if rehomed or even to a rescue. Is there another family member who could have the dog if you can’t?
Agree completely it's not fair on you or the dog let them find a family who will love itTake the dog to a reputable shelter so it can be re-homed. I can't see it being happy with someone who doesn't like dogs.
So sorry it's so hardOur beautiful family dog was put to sleep last week. We are so upset at losing her. Definitely one of the family.
Very sorry to hear this. We also had to make a fast decision, as she appeared in a lot of pain. It is tough.So sorry it's so hardMy dog was put to sleep last week as well, it was a very traumatic end for her.
We had been thinking it would come soonish due to health issues but we had to make a very quick decision due to something unrelated to the health issues whether to try and do something or put her to sleep
Absolutely spot on I agreeI don't think you I should if you don't want it. I think people who re-home animals get too much hate I always think I'd rather the animal goes to a home where it's wanted as if it's not wanted it'll likely become more a chore. Maybe if you could keep it until a rescue/foster could be found or foster it till a home is found
Oh gosh I know you from the dog thread, so so sorry xSo sorry it's so hardMy dog was put to sleep last week as well, it was a very traumatic end for her.
