[NAGDU] Retiring your dog

[S L Johnson]

Hello Tara:

I retired three of my retired dogs with a good friend.  My last dog, whose 
name was also Tara,  was lovingly adopted by a wonderful elderly lady from 
my mother's church.  My sister had put up posters at the vet and boarding 
kennel she used.  I did get a few responses from that but found them not to 
be the right home for my retired dog.  They had several children who wanted 
a dog that could run and play with them.   Other interested families were 
looking for a dog to be a companion for their very young hyper dogs.  Those 
might be good homes for younger dogs but for my girl who had cataracts and 
hip dysplasia I was looking for a quieter safer home.  Start looking now so 
you have plenty of time to properly interview people, watch them interact 
with your dog and see how they might get along.  It is very stressful and 
difficult but it has to be done.  It was always a very sad day when I let my 
golden girls go to their new homes.  However, I did gain a lot of peace and 
comfort knowing that I had placed them with loving ladies who would take 
excellent care of them for me.  Good luck to you.

Hi all! The time has come for me to retire my current seeing-eye dog. Iâ?Tm 
looking to place her in a good situation for the rest of her life. Emmy  is 
nine years old she will be 10 years old on February 21, 2018. Iâ?Tm 
interested in what you all have done to place your dog when you were not 
able to keep them with you as a pet.
Thank you for any information!
Tara
