NBR had to get rid of our dog.

We had I rehome our boxer. I'm so sad. To top it off the last two nights I've had dreams that he was used for dog fights. The family we chose was very nice and I doubt was like that but I keep seeing animal cruelty ads on TV etc and its making me scared. I emailed the family to make sure he's settling in ok but no response yet. I deleted the phone number because I didn't want to be tempted to call.

I miss our dog and just hope and PRAY that he's ok and definitely has a great home. A better one than we could give him right now.

Please just pray for Tyson for us that he is happy where he is and if not that he runs away from them to find a new family.

Please no flames it's hard enough having to make the decision to find him a new home. We had to because we no longer have a yard and live in a 900sq ft apartment and he needs alot of attention and exercise we just can't give him now and it was starting to show. He was acting out my chasing after other dogs, running out the door the minute it was open, and stealing food right off the table in front of us.

    I'm so sorry! :(  Rehoming is always hard.  But frankly, if you had to downsize and he's not getting the care that he deserves, you did the right thing.

    I agree with these ladies. A big dog like that needs room to stretch and run and needs attention. I think you are doing the right thing by making sure he gets it. Its obvious you love him.

    I'm so sorry to hear that! I have a boxer too. I completely understand why you would feel the need to find a new home for yours. They are a lot of work. We are fortunate to have a very laid back puppy but I have a feeling that isn't very common among boxers. If you find that the home you found for him isn't working out, you can always try a rescue group. That is where we got ours.

    I'm sorry you had to rehome your boxer.  They can be a high maintenance breed as they require tons of exercise.  Sounds like your living situation isn't conducive to giving your doggie the environment they deserve, so I think you did the right thing!  Hope those bad dreams go away and you feel better soon!  Hugs!

    No flames here!  I am so sorry you had to give up your pup but it seems it was in his best interest and for the safety of your family. We have an Olde English Bulldoge so I understand the need for space and I am so grateful to have enough room for her to run around if I don't have tons of time for a long walk. Animals are like family members too and I'm sure it was a very difficult decision. I hope his new family gives him tons of love and attention!

    I knew you ladies would be supportive! I'm sure the home for him is great I just miss my snugly buddy! And really hate the landlord we had for screwing us over and is having to move from a house with a yard to an apartment! Bummer! But, such as life I guess.
    It's not like we just got him or anything we had him since before the kids when it was just DH and I.

    He's 5 so he was still hyper and jumpy but a good dog overall but with the smaller place, no yard, and new baby it was jut hard I walk him probably a good 2 hrs a day with how much room we lost.

    Sigh... Being a grown up and making grown up decisions sucks. I guess on the plus side dd hasn't really noticed.
