I know that life sometimes deals us unforeseen circumstances and I appreciate the fact that you are trying to find your dog another home. However, I urge you to find a way to make it work. This poor dog has been through so much already. Do you really think uprooting her from the family she knows, loves and is beginning to trust is doing right by her? We all do whatever it takes to accommodate our work schedules and our children, but when it comes to pets the same commitment is not extended. Your dog is a member of your family. Would you give any other member of your family away because of unforeseen circumstances? I urge you to find a way to make this work. Perhaps if you ask family/friends for assistance they can help. I have two dogs and they are alone all day (from about 8:00 - 5:00) and do just fine. Remember, dogs are very adaptable. If you provide them with love and attention they will give back to you tenfold. You made a commitment to this dog when you took her into your home. Please honor it.
