How To Break-up With Your Dog
Breaking up or parting from your Dog can be a painful experience for dog lovers
. There are some kinder ways to do it for yourself and for your pet pooch so be kind when life circumstances pulls you apart.Dogs have feelings too; just ask any dog owner in tune with their pet. They show happiness and sadness, loneliness and crankiness the same as we humans experience these emotions. Humans are able to verbalise their feelings where the best a dog gets to do is howl, bark or bite.
People who have a pet at some point in their life will sometimes have their life circumstances change. These changes are sometimes for the better but not always. For example, if you change jobs and have to change towns and accommodation, there are many rental properties where one simply can't have a pet. In Australia, these are getting to be more the normal clause in a rental lease than not due in part, no doubt, to irresponsible pet owners who have had pets who have destroyed property.
So if you are an unfortunate dog owner and find that you can no longer keep your pet, there are some things you will need to be aware of.
Don't leave it until the last day to find a new home for your dog. This can put you into a situation where you will be severely limiting your choice of environment for your pet and can too easily result in handing your loving dog over to an unkind new owner or family. If the dog is unhappy in their new lodgings, nine times out of ten they will find a way out and their way home. If you are no longer at the house, the dog is most likely to become a stray.
Keep your dog with you, if you can, as long as possible. If you explain to the new owners that the dog has been a faithful friend and you would like to keep him with you for as long as possible, see if he can become a day boarder for the last few weeks that you are in the area. That way the dog will settle down comfortably in his new environment because you will be coming to pick him/her up at the end of the day and the transition is much less stressful on the animal.
If possible, try leaving the dog in it's new home for a weekend. By leaving your pet for the longer period of time, it gives both the new owners and your dog time to adjust to each other and their expectations. After two days, it will become pretty obvious if they are not a good fit for each other and you will still have time hopefully to look for a more suitable environment for your loyal friend.
Breaking up with your dog is hard. It's like parting with a good friend which is never easy and having to leave a loving and faithful dog in a new home is very hard. The best you can do is talk to the dog and say why this has to happen and hope that they have as much intelligence as you have always thought they had. Just make sure you give them that last cuddle and thank them for being such a good friend.
