2 loving adults need home!!!!

[RobertTara]

My family and I are relocating and our new area/subdivision doesn't allow for 3 dogs. With a new baby we are also finding ourselves too busy to spend the amount time with the dogs that we want to. We are looking for a good home for two adults - KC (male) 8 yrs old and Tippie (female) 7 yrs old. They are father and daughter and have never been apart. They are wonderful dogs, very loving and playful. Those stubborn at times, they are very obediant. They are outdoors dogs that love to nap in the sun.
We talked to the local boxer rescue they feel it would be a little difficult placing them and they probably would have to be separated. We feel that would be very tramatic for them. We are trying to do the best thing for them but are finding few options. We love them dearly and want them to go to a loving home. If anyone can help or offer some advice, please let us know. We would appreciate it!!!

I agree, any separation is very hard for a dog. I foster and I see many a broken hearted boxer after being abandoned. I am sure loosing their lifelong housemates would confuse and hurt them too. I hope something can be worked out for you pups. They deserve much happiness in their silver years.

It is a shame that you have to get rid of them. You get a new home and they get the boot.:(

i agree it's a shame these two are gonna lose the only family they have ever known and maybe each other just because you have to move to a place they can't go too ,thay have been loyal to you for years now your gonna toss them aside ,what the real shame is they could'nt dump you first...........i'm so tired of these stories don't get a dog if you can't keep him for his whole life

Ann, I'm sure robert and tara's intention was not to have to toss them aside ever. I just feel that that comment was a little out of line. You don't know the issues surrounding their relocation - I'm sure they searched for someplace where their babies could stay with them. I agree that it is sad that there are so many animals that are given up and it frustrates me as much as it does you, but they came here for help to find them a good home, not to be attacked for their situation. It's never any easy thing to give up such a loyal member of your family. Atleast they are trying to go about it the right way and find a great home for them, instead of tossing them out to fend for themselves in a cruel world. If my hubby and I were in a better situation, we would gladly take them in, but unfortunately, we only have the time and money for one right now. This must be hard for the family. I wish you luck in finding them a fantastic, loving home.

I have no advice for you except, dont shift to a small apartment anytime soon as you may have to give up your human kids!

I hate to sound callous, hard and bitchy here, but what I'm going to say is brutal and to the point.

Because your dogs are the age that they are, you will be hard pressed to find them homes. The rescue group in your area is right, it's going to be very hard to place two older, possibly HW postive (because they're outside dogs) boxers.

In all honesty, most likely, the best thing you can do (and I hate saying this) is to hold your babies as the vet euthanizes them.

If you were unable to find a place for them in your new life and your new home, how can you expect someone else to?

Why would you even CONSIDER purchasing a home in an area where you couldn't take your babies with you?

I must say that Vasha you have a point. I had dinner with some vets tonight and one left to put down a pet of a client. The family no longer wanted to give it the care they promised to provide upon taking in the animal. So, death is what they gave the pet in return for the years of unconditional love.
I look at my three furkids and it brings tears to my eyes to think ...

Knowing that your furkids have given you their best, is there anyway you can choose a house they can live at? You mentioned three dogs are not allowed? Is the third older or younger? A younger dog may have a much better chance to bond and love. Maybe a dear family member or friend can take the one?

Your dogs do not see you as a roommate. You are their world, their caregivers, what they live and breathe to love. I know if something horrible became of me, those who love me would love my furkids as I do because they love me.

Good points Ashlie. I guess I'm really lucky cause I know that if I were ever put into a difficult situation and had to give up Rocco, my family and/or friends would take him in in a heartbeat! Actually, my sister had to get rid of her chocolate lab, but it never crossed her mind to give him to anyone else but my dad. And a friend of mine doesn't have as much time as he did 3 years ago when he got his pup, and has toyed with giving him up - and we already offered to take him if it came to that point. So, yeah, is there any family or friends that you could leave your dogs with - that way you know the type of home they are being placed in, and you know they will get the best out of their last couple years.

I also wondered about the "3 dogs not being allowed" comment. Why give up these two over the other? Just curious

I really feel for you in making this decision..it must be heartwrenching...
