I so so badly need to get my dog back. Its unbearable. How horrible is it of me to want to ask for him back. If you had read my other post you will know what im talking about. I know I should leave him there but I cant seem to stop crying and thinking of him.

smrtasfrnkln_06- since you feel like judging with your hurtful words I will tell you why I had to let him go. My grandmother is very sick and I have to go live with her to take care of her and I cant have a dog there. So please go pass judgement somewhere else. Thank you to everyone else for your kind words. I will try to not be selfish and leave him were he is at.

Where did your dog go? If he went to a better home, then try to be selfless and know that he is in a better place. I had to give up my dog a couple years ago because he had severe mental issues (he was a rescue dog who was abused and neglected) he would dig drywall when I was gone and bark non stop till I got home. He is now with a retired couple where he gets all the love and attention he needs. I have even gone to visit him, which was a 4 hour flight! Take solace in knowing you did what was best for him and you sacrificed your own feelings for his well being. I know it's hard, I've been through it, time will heal and it will get easier. I cried for a few weeks but it got better after time had passed.

Read your other post. Don't know WHY you had to give him up but I understand the pain. My daughter went though this a few years ago and it was so bad that replacing her dog with another animal did not work. We ended up "buying" back the dog we had given away. She still has him 10 yrs later (he is my four legged grandchild). I lost a dane (he passed at 3 1/2 yrs) and could not get over it...went and rescued his half brother. If you cannot get the dog back go to the shelter or check the rescue site (there is one for every breed in each state just about) and find a dog that suits the needs of your family and take him/her in. You will find rescuing an animal is an amazing vitamin for the soul.

I read your posts from before and my heart goes out to you. My Dad was in the Navy and we go stationed overseas for 2 years and had to get rid of our dog, so I know how you are feeling. To those who liked to hear themselves rant and rave, don't let them get to you they like to show their lack of human emotions, among other things. I don't know exactly where you placed your dog, but you may want to see if you could arrange "custody visits", I rescued a cat from my local SPCA and the original owner asked if she could come by and see her cat every once in awhile and I had no problem with it. Even after 3 years she still calls and stops by to see her baby. So that might be an option for you to look into, you never know until you ask. I still cry over my pets that have passed away, but the old saying "time heals all wounds" is true. You will always miss him and that just shows you are indeed a loving owner. It will get better I promise, my very best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time, Warmest Regards KG

I've had to give two dogs away so far, and I miss them both. The first dog (my first dog ever) I had to give to a friend because I couldn't get home to take care of my dog due to an abusive husband. I missed her a lot (and even plotted how to steal her back) but realized that it was for the best. She has a great family now that loves her very much.
I had to rehome my second dog due to her aggressive behavior to my other dog. She has a wonderful home with a coworker, but of course, I still miss you.
You just have to remember what's best for the dog. There's a reason why you had to give the dog away, and that reason won't go away no matter how badly you want your dog back.
Sure, your dog will miss you for about a week, then he will go about the process of bonding with his new family. Honestly, in another month or two, he will be as closly bonded with his new family as he was with you. And, there's no reason you can't get another dog as soon as your situation changes. It might help your daughter to tell her that she can pick out her very own puppy just as soon as your living situation allows for it.
I promise, it does get better.
Hope this helps!

I read why you were getting rid of him, but don't know who you gave him to.
Once you gave up ownership, than yes, it is wrong to ask for him back. If you gave him up to a shelter/rescue they won't let you take him back.
The new family has probably already bonded with the dog, and has accepted him into the family.
It is painful, I'm sure. But at this point, you really have to let yourself grieve and let him go. Maybe you could visit him, take him for walks, or something like that.
Did your grandmother change her mind about letting you bring him into her home? Beagles are such great dogs.
If you gave the dog to someone to care for "just for 2 years," then of course you could ask for him back as he still would technically be yours.
Good luck. I'm sorry you and the dog are in this situation.
