A few weeks ago we made the decision that our first dog Tony was no longer safe to be around our children (2-3 y.o). While he’s always snapped at them or growled whenever they entered the room he’s never broken skin until recently and it was on one of their face.
We reached out to the rescue we adopted from and they agreed to take him back, it was to toughest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. We had him for 2 more weeks after we reached out to them until they found a foster to place him at and yesterday we dropped him off at the vet clinic for his rehoming.
I’ve never carried so much sadness in my life and I’m wondering if anyone’s been through something similar and how to move on forward with life after making such a decision
Not to mention my other dog is so depressed she barely wants to move and didn’t even ask for dinner tonight
We knew giving him to a shelter was never an option, I didn’t want to give him to a stranger online.. this felt like the better option then euthanasia to give him a chance to have a second good home in his life.
