Oh Sarah. I am so sorry My eyes have swealed up with tears at reading your post. If it helps any, I have had to rehome pets before, the hardest being a Goffins Cockatoo due to my terrible alergies. Some things just have to be done no matter how much it hurts your heart.

Gee, if you lived in MI I would offer to take Wyatt. I currently have a past abused rescue dog, and aussie mix named Graham. He was the same way as Wyatt was when I first adopted him nearly 7 years ago. He wanted so badly to be loved, but he expected that he would get beat every time he cowered up to people for love. I also had to work with him to get him to approach people with more confidence by showering him with love.

I don't have much advise but I do recomend you avoid taking him to a shelter. It's aweful scary for the dog, and you will never really know what happened to him...you will have a harder time healing and you may have more regrets and "what if's". Go to www.petfinder.com and put his info on that site...and try to foster him until someone is interested in taking him. That way you can meet the new owners and you may even be able to visit or at least keep in touch with them to help you get through this.

I will keep thinking of options...I really do hope everything is OK. I know it hurts, it hurts worse then anything, but know that everything happens for a reason. Wyatt loves you, but with the right care and some time, Wyatt could love again.

Best of luck, and again, I am so very sorry
