Re-homing Mom's dog after nursing home admission. Any advice?

Thank you for your great suggestions.

If you're on Facebook. Post up there and ask friends to share it. Include a picture of the fog. Be sure to tell your story just as you've told it here. Just yesterday, I posted on MY Facebook that I'm looking to adopt an older German Shepherd. You might also contact veterinarians in the area. It's such a sad thing for these animals...faithful companions...so sad.

I had to go through this with my cousin's cat when she went into Assisted Living. She had a special situation though, since she had severe dementia and was not able to care for the cat. so I was required to return the cat to the pet rescue where she adopted her from. It's in their contract. They are a no kill facility and will house her or place the cat for life.

I had no choice, but to tell my cousin that her cat would be fine until she got out. In less than a year and my cousin has no idea that she had a cat or house. Does your mom have dementia? If not, I would just tell her that a nice family adopted the dog and that he is very happy. Take a couple of pictures of the dog looking content to show her. I would prefer a fib to make me feel better.

Look on the internet for a Pug rescue in your area. Most people who run these rescues are very compassionate people and just might know of another senior in need of canine companionship.
