Folks always consider sometimes you are actually doing the dog a great favor. A friend was recently given a puppy re homed because the person was overwhelmed with her care, that dog is the joy of my friends life. She suffered a tragedy and so need that little pup in her life.

I needed to hear this for validation. Thank you❤

Ive grown to hate my dog

If you aren't prepared to (and don't have the mental bandwidth to) commit to a puppy/dog to the same degree necessary as a human child, then it isn't a good situation for anyone. Not to shame anyone, but I just wish people were more honest with themselves prior to taking on the responsibility. There are few things more difficult than raising a good dog, and it really "takes a village".

I'm thinking about rehoming my dogs due to mental health, I'm sad but I want and need change and to be doing better in life and the responsibility of having both of these dogs under my care is driving me insane I don't even sleep anymore, I'm exhausted and suicidal and need to be able to breathe again but I'm scared my dogs will not be okay without me

These are my exact current feelings! I’ve had my puppy for two days and I’m pretty sure I’m returning him this weekend. I did so much research for months and I’ve always wanted a dog, but I realized the reality isn’t really what I want. This isn’t puppy blues. I’ve had legit anxiety thinking of caring for him for the next 15+ years. This just isn’t the right time for me. Thank you for this video.

No, no no! Do not confine an animal. Don't put an animal in a crate or a cage. Why do this?

Thank you for sharing your story. You aren't alone. I volunteer for a shelter and walked my neighbors dog for years, everyday. I finally moved into my own apartment and was able to make the freedom choice to adopt. Because at my old home, my mom was against pets growing up. After a month of living alone, I adopted a sweet boy. Within hours the exception I held and commitment this boy needed, was basically my fur baby moving forward began to cause me stress. I work full time and after a few days of leaving him home alone, coming home to him hiding and sad because he obviously missed me, Brought me so much sadness and guilt while at work. I never could imagine myself rehoming before this incident and would judge others. But the stress and sadness the situation brought me was so much, I researched pet remorse but this felt worst. I called my shelter and 10 days later brought him back sobbing because yes, I didn't want this. But, I knew he'd have a better family. It's an extremely complicated situation. Just know we hear you too and as long as you have the best intention, that is all you can do.I hope one day in the future I will be ready, because I love animals so much.

This really helped me with my decision to rehome my dog. Thank you for being so honest and making this video.

I’m going through this with my beautiful mini Aussie. Two kids one on the way, just can’t handle it and he is petrified of all people he doesn’t know. Thank you thank you! Keep this video up cause it still is helping people 6 years later!

You are a sick-o dude. I mean mentally ill. You were lucky to get the dog in the first place. Of course it is a responsibility. So you have a problem with responsibility. I love my do SO MUCH I would not even have a pet sitter or let my dog be with anybody but me and i love her forever.

Got a dog for our family, it’s Monday and on Sunday a friend will come to pick up our dog… we love animals and dogs, but we keep it outside and can’t give it the love it deserves. The pro is that this person already has a dog and they’ll keep it within the house all day and night, already have experience and for the dog this should be a much better home. The con is that my 4yr old daughter is already attached and despite us trying to explain to her that it will be better for the dog, she just can’t let go…. I can barely do it, so asking her to do it is way too much… I honestly don’t know how things will play out

"They were having conversations and singing. That was too much for me." It's amazing to see people like this wrap their heads around a musical! I laughed so hard. Y'all act so funny, you should be in the movies!

omg I just looked through your other youtube videos. I'm so glad you gave the dog away. People struggling to keep their mental illness under control should not have a dog. Thanks for being a good example. Good luck with your mental illness journey. You just found yourself another subscriber.

Dogs aren't for everyone. At least you found out you're selfish (not a bad thing) at your core, and cannot mentally tolerate making short term sacrifices. Some people don't have any of this kind of awareness. I really admire your honesty, and felt comfortable to return the favor. Thank you. Now you know that dogs/kids or anything else that demands personal sacrifice is not for you! Thanks again for your honesty.

im waching this video snd i have black labrador Daisy shes sweetyest baby in the world but we dont have enouth time for her 😭😭😭😭😩 i have to find new family . so dificult for me emotionaly😭🥹

This guy is dumb. You simply didn't realize selfish he was, and a dog showed him. He freaked out. Dogs bond with humans fast. But yeah, foster a dog before you buy one, and if it's not you. At least you will know.

Don’t ever crate a dog

Rehoming your dog is like rehoming your children, no you don’t, you do everything imaginable to make your life with them instead of easy way of rehoming. Never take a dog if you don’t do it for life, yours or theirs. I’m a widow, and have had dogs , usually two at a time, always chose smaller dogs incase I had to live in apartment or get a motel room, and if my circumstances were such I had to wait for a place, I slept in my car or found a temporary place to live with them until place was available. I even camped for a summer at public state park in a tent until I could. If there is a will there is a way. But never in 50 yrs of owning my dogs was rehoming an option.

Thanks for making this post. Me and my dogs were companionships were we never had any family. It wasn't the dogs as to why they got rehomed it was the world families break down and economy declines and that has a heavy impact on dog families, it was the most responsible thing that I did to free my beautiful dog companions onto their next era of their life, they were five years old and they have at least ten to twelve or more years left on this planet and it would have been very selfish to to have kept them stuck with me, it sucks when you once had a beautiful life, it sucks even more when narcisstic scum bags who have backwards mentalities find them selves in a position of power to such an extent that families like. Mine have to all live separately, I will never ever ever ever ever home another dog in my life, I love them unconditionally, and my loyalty is to them,

I'm in the same situation, and with my mental health. I can't handle the dog any more. I've had her nearly 2 years and my cat died partly because of the stress from the dog and my inability to do what I had to do to give her up. I feel awful and anxious and depressed now, and every day wake up wanting the dog gone. I've reached out to a breed specific rescue, to the SPCA, and I've placed an ad. I have an interested party 12 hrs drive away, and it's winter now. They might be willing to make the drive. But right now I'm too tied up in knots to reply. I can't even get dressed. I feel like crying, and I feel sick. The SPCA don't have space, they have a wait list to surrender a dog, no kennel space! And they have no foster families. I just need time I think. Maybe a few hours, maybe a day. I hope the interested party will understand. I need to do a video call, and for that I need to be dressed and feel alright.

I'm trying to rehome a ten-year-old pomeranian-poodle mix, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you made the best choice for all parties involved. The dogs short life should be happy and a priority. Dog comes first and you made sure to do the best for them. AND the best for the family because you started off the training so they could more easily integrate doggo into their family unit. Props man.

Thank you for this. I also after the second day I started feeling like shit. I’m not mentally stabled, I’m unemployed so I can’t feed him properly, it’s not the right time for me

I felt like that after getting a puppy having forgotten the time involved. I did push through it and it got much better after a few months and I was so glad I kept her. It’s a difficult decision to get a puppy so be prepared for ups and downs and it takes time and patience for sure.

im not gonna lie, having a puppy IS freacking hard. it is like a having a child seriously. people who never had a dogs or puppies all by themself in their life never understand how it is like having a puppy at home taking care of it. when I talk to my friends how hard it is been to have a puppy they are like aww how come? they must be so cute tho! it must be really enjoyable!...they are so cute but that's a different story. having any animals can be so overwhelming. but YOUR life always comes first I think. if you are totally lost and depressed, they should rehome your dogs. I am currently having a puppy blue atm but I am also seeing this as a part of the challenge of my life i know that this experience gives me something, and I love my dog so I will continue having her and lets see in 2-3years from now haha

Pussy. Beta. #QuitListeningToFags

I'm in this situation right now. My 15 year old lab died, and I got a puppy from the shelter 2.5 weeks later. I thought I was in a good place mentally for another dog, but wow, the grief/guilt/remorse set in HARD and I've cried so much. I'm totally overwhelmed with grief and I just want to focus on my grief and healing from losing my best friend. I cannot do that because I'm raising a puppy. I feel like shit for making the decision and putting the puppy through this. I'm a vegan (total animal over), and have never re-homed a pet of my own. I'm distraught and don't know what to do. I do know that I'm not connecting with the puppy and don't feel like she is my dog. She's the sweetest and it has nothing to do with her. I feel that I made such a mistake, and don't know what to do now. 😭

I would absolutely love to rehome my dog but my family will be to sad. She mentally makes me so depressed but the thought of my kids missing her makes me depressed. I’m stuck. I’m so happy you re-homed your dog and have your life back.

Wow, I finally found someone who feels the same as I do… my problem is my daughter is so attached since it’s been almost two weeks with our pup 😩

Yes, re-home your dog if you don't like your dog, can't take care of your dog, or your life changes. Don't let these weirdos out there convince you that you're doing something evil. It's a dog. I say this as a lifelong dog owner who rehomed two dogs, out of 20+ dogs I've had. Don't think I live in a hoarder house; lol...I have had several at a time and I'm in my 40's. Always loved my dogs to death, except two of them, where it wasn't working out. One has unexpected special needs which my career prevented me from giving her all the care she needed. I don't feel guilty. My rehomed dogs went to excellent homes and lived full, happy lives.

I've had my dog for 5 years. This last week I am seriously considering rehoming him.

This is a good video. People really underestimate how much dedication it takes to take care of a dog.

I did the same...

This is real . And I am a realest . Exactly what I need to hear . It’s okay to be emotional ,but your feelings can’t overpower your logic .

So its ok to rehome the dog but do you keep in touch with the new owners? Not to go visit right now but seeing that they will be a good home and did you tell themif it did not work out you would take the dog back? I see now this is 5 years old.. Did you ever get another?

I’m struggling so bad. I cannot have this puppy anymore, but my husband loves it and doesn’t want to get rid of it. We can’t come to an agreement

this video does help. such a painful decision to make- and hearing others stories is comforting

I am in the same situation.

I feel horrible, it's been 4 months since I rehomed him. I didn't realize how much of a responsibility he was. I spent to much time on my phone. My step mom would feed him sometimes when I forgot. I left him in the kennel and I enjoyed having him around but I didn't train him that well. He peed and pooped everywhere because I wasn't focused on him because I hung out with friends and I was on my phone. I wasn't ready when I thought I was. Arlo was a good dog, he really was. He was too hyper for me to handle and I gave up on training him because he was stubborn and I was frustrated so I took him on walks but I didn't train him. On his last day with me I didn't hang out with him and went to school taking him out feeding up and put him back. I regret not hanging out with him. I really do. I feel horrible but now he lives on a farm! He is a heeler mixed with border collie so he was hyper. I was blessed with him but I think I need to wait. He was 6 months when I got rid of him. I love him and i always will. Second thoughts flooded me.but he deserves better. And i wish him well!❤

I had hocd like 1.5 years ago now it’s back and all the thoughts are am I gay? Then I imagine myself being with a man to see if I’ll have an erection nothing happens but opposite sex instant erection

Bro where are you?? 😢 I love your content, please come back bro. Don't quit 🥺

Thanks for making this, man. Really helped me out to hear this.

You have triggered me even more, why some people be like.. "we all are on the spectrum, no one is 100% straight blah blah"?? Only bi people can think that everyone is on the spectrum like them, I have bi OCD and and I've heard this from lot of bi people. I don't understand why they generalize people. Lots of studies have proved that more than half of the population is 100% straight and half are on spectrum and few are gays, asexual etc. Secondly, I don't think that appreciating someone's beauty or find same gender attractive or get attracted to their personality etc should be consider "GAY'' so if someone (like you) is thinking that this behavior would make someone 6% gay or 94% straight or whatever like that, it's untrue. It's ''your assumption or way'' to define heterosexuality, although it's untrue. Same gender appreciation doesn't make someone 6% gay or something like that. I've read similar thoughts, posts and opinions on nonsense sites like quora and reddit too, people there label anyone as ''xyz % straight, xyz% gay'' just on the basis of the acts which are not truly homosexual. If a hetero person is appreciating or finding same gender attractive, that doesn't mean they have sexual attraction to them or they want to do some sort of homosexual stuff with them so don't confuse appreciation with sexuality. If someone is truly 6% gay then they want to do some kind of stuff (romantic or sexual) with same gender, they are liking those stuff unlike straight people and they aren't straight at the first place.. they are sort of bi then so don't confuse people by saying that they are xyz% of gay or straight.

Only a responsible dog parent rehomes their dog. Irresponsible ones abandon or abuse them.

I swear I had my dog for 3 days a beautiful Dalmatian ! Have been stressing me out extremely I can’t eat sleep and feel like I’m not working as much as I use too !

Did anyone else just yell at something random while watching this? no, just me?

You don't need dogs, your life is better without them, the dog thing is just a big propaganda build by corporations to sell a bunch of dog food, vet care and so on, people who keep dogs have been shamed to do so, deeply they know they would be happier without the mutt.

The type i wanna live only comes in bursts…i hate it. I dont know if its the 4th percentile industriousness but i have my suspicions lol I almost have what seems like a diet version of bi polar where i have lows for days sometimes weeks and the followed by a levelling high of goals and achievements and then back down, its rare when im just coasting no lows no highs no goals just…nothing but surviving and eating well and sleeping well and good entertainment *sigh* Hope you are having a killer day my dude
