breed prejudice

Monday, June 22, 2009

I am angry and sad as I write this post. As you may remember, last November, we acquired Domino as a 6 week old puppy. We have loved on this dog for months, and have just nearly pulled him successfully through the annoying puppy phase, and he is turning into a great companion. And now we have to give him away.

Three months after we got Domino, our post (and now all army posts) have passed rules against "aggressive" dog breeds, including, but not limited to, Pit Bulls, Chows, Rottweilers, etc. No exceptions. With a fourth baby on the way, our budget will simply not allow us to do anything but move on post. It was always our intention to do so come October, when our lease is up here. Had I known what was going to happen, I wouldn't have done this to us, to the kids, to poor Domino. We are desperately trying to find our dear dog a good home. Do you know how hard that is? My biggest fear is that he will be used to fight, this is such a common abuse of these poor dogs. Please pray for us, that we will be discerning and find Domino the perfect forever family.

I wish we were the forever family....
