Please help! My mom wants to get rid of my dogs!?
I'm 16. I live with my mom and my 13 year old sister. We have two dogs: a beagle that we've had for 12 years, and a red-nose Pit Bull puppy we've had since December. Well, the puppy's a bad influence. She and my beagle have dug holes under the fence in the backyard, broken the fence in several places, anything they can do to get out. No matter what we do, it doesn't work. My beagle never did this before we got the pit. Well, they've been getting out a lot recently. As in, 3-4 times a day. My mom keeps them in their crates since it's been happening, but apparently, "they make too much noise" and she "can't handle it." She doesn't like them inside, at all, because they like to roughhouse and bark at each other. My mom just came into my room to tell me that she's seriously considering calling the pound to come and pick them up. I started crying immediately. These dogs are my best friends. They love me and are there for me when nobody else is, including my mom. She just doesn't understand how much it would kill me if I didn't have them. Neither does my sister, and it breaks my heart that they both could give them away so easily. My mom and I fought for a bit, and finally, in tears, I told her that, as long as I live, I will never forgive her if she gives them away. She looked me dead in the eye and basically told me she didn't care. They're currently locked in my bedroom with me. If I have to give them away, it will be the worst day of my life to date, and probably for a long time. Please help me. I love these dogs more than myself.
How do I rehome my dog?
Four months ago I adopted a 9 pitbull to cope with my bestfriends death but I came to a point that I feel I cant keep him for several reasons. 1. He continuously bolts out the front gate whenever its opened 2. Money is tight right now 3. My family is handling a legal issue with my cousin and her boyfriend not moving out and not paying rent 4. My cousin is pregnant and there's a chance my dog might jump on her, hit her stomach, hurt her baby and if it does her & her bf might try to sue us 5. He's nearly gotten hit by a car three times 6. He got out this one time and when I found out and caught him, I noticed that there were some cholos looking for him, which could've ended bad for my dog. 7. I want to get a job to help my mom with bills, so I wont have much time for him once I go back to school. These are just off the top of my head but there are many more that I can't think of right now. I don't want to take him back to the shelter where he will most likely be euthanized. I have the papers the shelter gave me that are documents of what they did to him, but they have my dad's signature on it. Do these papers matter when I rehome my dog? He also has a microchip that I still haven't updated to my name. I'm basically clueless to how I rehome him. would it be fine to give the shelter documents with my dad's signature to the new owners or should I keep them and just give the new owners the dog by itself?
Should I rehome my dog if my family doesn't want her?
It’s your dog…you cannot care for the dog.Yes, you should get your dog to a shelter or rescue group and allow THEM to rehome her.If you got her from such a place, then take her BACK to that place.Using a shelter or rescue group ensures that a new owner will be SCREENED.This is important because people who seem nice, and sometimes are nice, often turn out to be horrible, horrible pet owners.People who are trained to ask for references, do home checks, call vets, and look for lies or half-truths when asking certain questions are the best at placing pets. They also look at people’s lifestyles and a pet’s needs for exercise and care, and make sure it is a good fit. They charge adoption fees to be sure the new owner assigned psychological value and ownership to the pet, and they ensure all shots and vetting are up to date.If you fail to do that, at least microchip her, to yourself, then when you put her in some other home, get all that new person’s data to update the chip.That way, if or when she ends up in a shelter or lost, you will be in there as a “back up” if they do not care, or moved off or gave her away to other people or something. All good rescues do this.Using a shelter or rescue also works because if there IS a problem and a new family needs to return the dog (like maybe their house burns down) the shelter and rescue can easily take her back safely, and you cannot always do this.Your dog DESERVES to be with someone who wants her. For herself. Picked out from all the other dogs also available. Not because they are doing you a favor, or they feel sorry for her, or someone in their family can’t keep her.Dogs in shelters and rescue groups get CHOSEN by people who have really been WANTING a dog. That’s important for HER life.

How do I convince my mom to rehome "our" dog?
A couple months ago my mom brought home a Lab mix, she said someone was selling puppies in a parking lot and she couldn't resist. I tried to be honest with her, yeah I was excited to have a new puppy but I told her to be realistic... she works all day. I go to school at 7:30, get home at around 3:30, then I leave for work at 4:30, then come home at 9:30. My mom works from about 7am to 5pm. This puppy is home alone in a kennel pretty much ALL day. We have no time for a dog right now. My mom knows this but she says she doesn't have the heart to get rid of him. He's about 4 months old. I've been spending my entire christmas break giving him attention because I feel so bad. I love the puppy and would love to keep him, but he deserves better. I want to rehome him before it's too late. As he grows, I'm worried he'll have issues due to being locked in a kennel all day every day. But like I said, my mom is hesitant. I've tried to convince her over and over and over again. I said leaving this young puppy in a kennel is going to mess him up. I told her if she really loves him, why not find him a home where he can be happy? Obviously no puppy is gonna be happy locked in a kennel all day long. This is so frustrating. I need advice..any ideas how I can convince her to at least CONSIDER rehoming him? I feel like I've tried everything..
What can I do if I've rehomed my dog to a family that doesn't want her anymore and I cannot keep her?
What about the RSPCA or in other countries, local dog rescue centres. Your local library can find out the details for you.
Should I rehome my dog or find a temporary home?
I'm going off to a university this Fall and my mom doesn't want to take care of my dogs while I'm gone. I want to do what's best for my dogs,but I also want to keep them. I would like to find a temporary home for them while I'm gone-approximately 2 years.I would pay for the necessary costs for them(food,vet,etc.).Then I would take them during breaks when I come home.I do want these dogs back after I graduate. I want these dogs to stay together. I know one would get a great home-he's a great dog,but the other one can be difficult to handle if you don't know how to care for him properly. So should I find a temporary foster home or would it be better to just rehome them?
