Comment on Rehoming a pet: How to cope with the grief by Mary Jane.

I have a rescue dog that is a full bloodied Beagle. I have had her for two years. Got her when she was around 6 months old. I have had Beagles in the past so I knew what to expect but this last week a cat came into my yard and my Callie mauled it to death. I just couldn’t bare the thought of this happening again to someone’s beloved pet so I made the difficult decision to contact a Beagle Rescue. I feel like such a failure for giving her up but it’s just not right. She is an active dog that needs to be in the country where she can run freely and chase whatever she wants to chase. I live in town and have a good size backyard but it’s not enough for her. My heart hurts just looking at her now and knowing she will be leaving me soon. Thanks for sharing your heart-breaking stories.
