I agree with AdoremyDogs too. That's what I had to do with my dog Missy. I love her so much, but at the time I was living with a girlfriend who had a big house and a yard and two other dogs. So when I moved out I realized that Missy wouldn't be happy with me. I don't have that much time and she loved her doggie friends and I didn't want to take her away from that. So because I loved her so much I wanted her to have the best life possible. I still go visit her often. Today we went out to the dog park and had lots of fun. I always joke and say I have "joint custody" of her.
