Today is part-two of a two part series that will help you make the difficult decision to rehome your dog should the need ever arise.

I've been watching every "rehoming" video I can find to console my broken heart -- and she wasn't even my dog! I fostered a family member's Corgi for 7 months while they "get their $h1t together" and move to a new place. I sensed they didn't want their dog back so I considered making her "dog #4" but she just couldn't get along with my other three. This Corgi wasn't socialized much as a pup and had terrible owners, so she was very insecure and territorial, especially over me and would bark incessantly whenever the other dogs were in the same space. Alone, the Corgi was wonderful, very loyal and loving (really miss all the attention she gave me), but she didn't like strangers, kids, and other dogs. I really didn't have the time, money, patience, or energy to re-train her. I knew in my heart she would be better off in a single-dog home with owners that actually love dogs and are committed to working with her (her owners never even vaccinated her).
Only two days after finally returning her to the owners, they asked if I wanted her; and if not, they were dropping her off at the shelter. I asked for proof of their drop off because I just had this strange feeling that they would abandon her somewhere remote. They never gave me the proof, only told me she took it well when they dropped her off and left it at that. I find it hard to believe that she "took it well" because, when I first fostered her, it took 4 days before she would even look me in the eyes. Remembering how terrified and depressed she was when I took her in back then just breaks my heart. I'm just so sad right now.
I just had to rehome a puppy but I found him a good home! I didn’t decide this easily! People drop animals off at my farm so much that I have ended up with one too many of everything! It’s not enough that I have 4 horses, 3 parrots, 7 dogs, and 6 cats! Ppl keep dumping them! I cannot take anymore so now I simply have to rehome them as soon as they are healthy and ok’d with the vet! I still get bashed because of it, and that hurts! I’m not a millionaire so me rehoming them is for them as well as myself!
Thank you for helping me feel a little better about rehoming my Old English Sheepdog. I got him as a pup while I had a WFH job. I am an athletic person and I thought I could handle him on my own. It was tough from the start and grew harder as he got bigger. Then l got laid off and was rehomed myself. I had to move back in with family and he didnt take it well. He was turning 1 and becoming dominant and aggressive towards my parents and me. I was physically, mentally and financially exhausted. He attacked me 3 times in one week before I made the difficult decision to rehome him with an experienced dog trainer. Im heartbroken that he was turning on me after all the time, effort and money I put into him. I put him in training as a pup but it didnt work. I read books and researched the entire internet for help training him myself. My social life was nonexistent. My work came 2nd to his needs. I was trying my best to give him a great life but in the end I feel like I failed him and myself. 😞 I am so disappointed. I wanted a dog for over 10 years and finally did it once I had a WFH job and purchased a house. I thought I was finally in the position to have the beautiful dog I had always dreamed of. I am truly crushed.
I recently got a new job that is back in the office and I fear I will never be able to have dog. It was a struggle when I WFH, how can I do it working all day? How do people manage working 8+ hrs and have a beautiful, healthy dog? Is it only for the rich? Please help. I’ve never felt so low. 😞
Thank you this video and the last one has helped me so much. I know I need to relocate my morkiepoo after 5 years. I want her to be happy and I want to be relieved of the stress. We live on a corner and it’s a 4 way stop she has the highest pitch bark and it’s an all day long thing as long as it’s traffic time. I get so stressed out for 5 years it’s been this way. My heart is broken I love her I just can’t take the stress another 5-10 years more. My husband contacted a Maltese rescue they have very good reviews they put the dogs in well thought out and checked out homes.
She was my first dog as an adult. I had no idea about temperament and personality and how the human and dog need to be a match. This has been one of the most heartbreaking lessons I’ve ever had to learn, I’m so sad but I know this needs to be done. I think she will be much calmer in a quieter environment where cars aren’t driving by and stressing her out and then me getting stressed out to😥💔🐶
Your videos have been such a resource for me, thank you! I got a 10 month old rescue GSD mix not too long ago, I live alone and work from home, thought I'd have the time and energy to care for her. Boy, was I wrong. I am bringing her back to the rescue I got her from, they're really great and will place he in a foster and I know she'll get adopted in a flash. But I still feel so guilty--today, I set an actual date for when I'm bringing her back. Even though I know this is the right choice, and I knew this day was coming, I got a knot in my stomach when they emailed me back and told me to drop her off in a few days time. I look at her cute face and feel immense guilt, but also try to remember that keeping her would be selfish because she needs more exercise and space than I can give her right now, and if I didn't have her, she would have been in a kennel until someone was able to foster her. I have been trying to reframe it to think of it as if I've been her foster--that has helped me a bit.
I purchased 2 Cavalier King Charles, now 2 and 2 and a half, after my 9-year-old Cavie died. I purchased a black and tan male Cavalier for my 19-year-old daughter and a ruby girl to keep him company. I live in a small apartment, work full time, and feel a bit stupid for purchasing them, as I struggle with dog poo in our tiny paved courtyard and managing to find the time to walk them. My daughter has been reluctant to help out with cleaning up the dog doo and infrequently took them for walks. She has now moved out and I have told her she can take her dog and the Ruby female Cavalier is to be relocated as I'm struggling to care for them adequately and have become resentful. My daughter is demanding both dogs as they are brother and sister, and feels they shouldn't be separated. I know she will struggle caring for 2 dogs and would like to relocate the ruby female to my brother, who is a stay at home Dad and has a 10 year old boy. They live on an acre of land and my brother has kept dogs successfully before. I feel very torn making this decision and foolish for getting them in the first place. To boot my daughter has cracked it....arghhhhh
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been a wreck knowing that it’s coming. We have a English bulldog that continually attacks my autistic son. When it is just me and him though he is the perfect companion. I have been worried about how the dog will feel and if I’m making the right decision. After watching your videos I am confident that I am. Thank you again and god bless 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed this as we will be rehoming our dog soon and I'm heartbroken 💔
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time with rehoming your dog. It's undoubtedly a challenging decision and can be incredibly emotional.
Remember that making the decision to rehome your dog is not a sign of failure but rather a responsible and caring choice to ensure the well-being of your dog and your family. Your dog's safety and happiness are of utmost importance, and sometimes, rehoming is the best way to achieve that.
If you ever need someone to talk to or have questions about the rehoming process, there are many organizations and individuals who can provide support and guidance. You're not alone in this, and there are people who genuinely care about the well-being of animals and can help you navigate this challenging situation.
Take care, and I hope that your dog finds a wonderful new home where they can thrive and be happy.
I rehomed my Siberian husky last weekend to a family member that lives 3 hours from me. When I got the dog it was starved and dehydrated at 6 weeks old. I gave it a good life for a year and 10 months give or take. I ended up having a little baby and he’s now 6 months old. My wife couldn’t handle my two dogs and the baby on a day to day basis when I was at work and gone for 9 hrs.. So I decided to rehome it to someone that could. This broke me in half not waking up to her licking my face and not walking her every day for 20-25 minutes. Now it’s just me and the jrt/daschund mix. My baby and the husky got along real well and he would laugh at her. Unfortunately she had massive amounts of energy and would get bored when home alone and get destructive again because we I couldn’t meet her energy requirements which the 25 minute walk was a warm up. I hope I made the right decision.
Do you feel you made the right decision a year later?
Thank you for this.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I have absolutely no support from my family and I'm 65 year old female and the dog is physically destroying my health, home and car. I'll be rehoming tomorrow....sad
Susy Pace, checking to see if you rehomed your pet? Your story sounds just like mine. My husband got I'll and I am taking care of him. He don't want our dog to go. But I can't take care of both of them. I am also in my sixties. Please respond.
this video is very useful i currently rehomed my dog name Bucco a German Shepherd / Pit Bull Terrier mix we couldn't keep him anymore because we are struggling with money and the space is not enough for him. Its really hard for me and my wife your very straight forward thank you for this video 👍👍🤝🤝💯
Thank you so much for this! I feel like you talked straight at me. I'll be writing to you soon!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been in literal hell from having to rehome my dogs. I wish I could talk to you and go over things, but you've said everything in this video already. You said reach out to you. Where can I find the way to do that?
Thank you for your kind words and I am sorry to hear about having to rehome your dog(s). I've lived through it myself and it is hell. I responded to your most recent message as to how to reach me. Bryan@TamingtheWild.com. Reach out anytime friend. - Bryan
@@realtrainingwithbryanbailey Bryan, I found your channel while searching for videos on this heart-wrenching topic of rehoming dogs. I am on the verge of total breakdown managing three Shih Tzu (down from 5!).
You seem to be a man of uncommon intelligence, empathy and toughness when it comes to pet dogs and their psychology. I watched both parts of this video; but I will probably watch them a couple of more times and then write to you on the email you provided. Thank you so much for your knowledge-sharing!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you again so much for this video! I needed this so bad.
Good info. I work as animal control and unfortunately in another month I am expecting to find puppies dumped because people acquired pups for Christmas and decide they don't want to be bothered with them any longer. Sad but I know it will happen. Always does.
Hey Sheila, Sorry, I am terribly late responding to your comment. Were your fears confirmed? - Bryan
