I had to re-home my adopted furbaby, Leela, because my asthmatic son developed a severe allergy to her. It broke my heart to have to let her go, so it makes me upset to hear that people give up their pets so easily.

I have some friends who don't want their dogs because they don't feel they have the space anymore. They moved into a four bedroom house with a decent sized yard that backs to a huge park with trails and green spaces not too long ago. Our mutual friends, who were staying with them with two dogs of their own, just moved out. Not enough space??? We all think the real reason is they are tired of their dogs misbehaving, which is not the dogs' fault. They are given conflicting info. from the couple all the time. Fortunately another mutual friend, S, is taking them in. I think the doggies will be a lot happier with S, and they will have five acres to explore with goats to perhaps learn how to herd.
