My partner and I lost our home about 3 weeks ago and were very nearly homeless, we had 2 dogs when this happened who ment so much to us! It was not fair to keep our dogs when we were in such a state and so we made the very very hard decision to re-home them both!
We cried alot and it caused alot of heartache but it did mean we got accepted into a new house and we both got full time jobs!
Things are going ok for us now, but we miss our dogs so much!
The other day my partner got a phone call saying our dog had to have a operation which she had and is ok but apparently she is like a different dog now and they have had to separate her from our other dog as they no longer get along! They have asked us if we will take her back.
we would love to but we are both working full time and living in a rented house that has a tiny garden it doesnt even have grass!
She has sepeartion anxiety and so needs ALOT of attention and will bark constantly when were at work!
What do we do?

It sounds to me as if you've already made up your mind not to have her back. I do think that it is selfish of you. You are worried that you have no grass? Where did you used to take them for walks? There are thousands of parks and green spaces all over so worrying about that is just an excuse. This dog has been through enough and you now have the chance to make up for it by having her back. I can just imagine her wagging her tail when she sees you both. Please think carefully about this, she deserves a good home, with her Mum and Dad.

Sounds like you don't have the ability to give the dog what it truely needs, and therefore the best option is certainly not to take the dog back. Either the new owners or you need to find another home for that dog where it can get the attention it deserves!
It's not selfish to NOT take the dog back if you won't be home, and don't have the room for it, it's looking out for the dog's best interest, which is the right thing to do, why make all parties involved miserable by taking the dog back??

I don't think you should take her back. It doesn't seem that you're in a place to give the dog the best quality of life. I think putting her inthe situation where she will be alone most of the time while you're at work will just create a stressful environment for her.
I think the best course would be to find another home for her with someone who has the time to give her the attention she needs.

Do what's best for the animal. If you're not home and can't care for a dog, don't have a dog sitting around alone all day. Try to find another, better home for the dog if the current person can't take him.

maybe you could find a different person who would look after the dog,but if you care for the dog fit him in too your life he will get used to you working it just takes time,after all you chose him as a pet.dogs dont need grass they need love you can always walk him in the park etc..
