Having to give your pet away may be one of the hardest things you ever do. For whatever reason, whether it is the result of a divorce, allergies, the birth of a child, irresponsibility or a change in lifestyle.

The quickest thing to do would be to give your dog over to a dog pound. However, here in Sri Lanka and almost all over the world, a couple of days after you leave your beloved companion they are put to sleep.

So if you would like to ensure a bright future for your pet there are a number of options that are available. There are several animal shelters that are available in Sri Lanka for example “Adopt a dog Sri Lanka” however you must be willing to ensure that you provide financial assistance to take care of your pet for at least 4 months until they find a home for your pet.

Another sensible and good decision you can make is to give your dog over to close family or friends who would take good care of your dog.

Deciding on a good family would be easy because if you have known them over a long period of time. You would know how they operate and if they would be able to handle the pressures of maintaining a dog.
