Hello dog lovers. My 32 year old son had to rehome his pitbull boxer dog with me temporarily because the dog knocked over a small child and she is nolonger allowed to stay at his apartment. I’m 61 years old recently injured my knee and its not likely to return to normal. I’ve stressed to him that its been 3 years and high time he finds a way to reunite with his dog, as my knee will not hold out any longer. The dog is aggressive towards other dogs and not that sociable outside the home and around other people. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can handle this situation.

Hi,
I have a specific question I would really appreciate an expert’s advice on…

Is it better to rehome an 18 month old English springer spaniel male dog to their new home
a) gradually, with repeated short visits of a few hours each time, before a permant rehome to the new owners? or
b) a ‘pull the band aid off’ rehome, moving permanently, to the new home, without repeatedly seeing us, the previous owner?

Background: happy dog, lovely dude. He was part of the we had the litter at home, he was one pup that didn’t get chosen at the normal 8 week time so we chose to keep him. We have too many dogs and the house is just too frenetic for everyone. His personality is lovely but frenetic, shadow chases, very intelligent, not aggressive, just never stops moving for a long while. He is going to a good friend of ours, who have recently retired so will have time to dote on him.

Thanks for publishing this article. I've been torching myself. I love my dogs so much . I have 4 puppies born on January 13,2022. Before that the same female had 7 and 1 died. We keep two from that litter wanting to get her fixed and didn't have the knowledge or funds to do it. Husband lost his job. We had to move. We were able to get there shots and one of the females fixed. But the other female got the twitches. Now they gave her a shot instead of fixing her. They said that she won't live only 3 months more. They were born in June 7th 2021. Then there mother had the other 4 puppies in January 7 2022. They also have had their shots. But they need a loving home if anyone could please help us. I love them so much. It's harder than hell to feed them properly. They are starting to fight and that's not what I want for them it really breaks my heart. Please help me help them find a loving home. please help.

Hi! This is a very helpful post! Thank you so much for posting it. My current situation is that I will no longer be able to care for our 5 month old mini golden doodle puppy. My husband and I seriously took into consideration the work it would take, but life has happened and medical things have come up as well (thank you in advance for not judging). We love her and still want her in the family. My parents are moving to my area in the next month and want her more than anything. I’m wondering if this makes things any different. The puppy will be living with them, but my husband and I would be visiting often. Will this make the transition harder and confusing if she lives with them but still sees us on a regular basis? I’d really appreciate any feedback! We are grateful she will still be in the family but want to make the transition as smooth as possible.
