Animal And Company: Re: Separating Dogs That Have Been Raised Together

Thanks for your reply!

We are taking the dogs into our home tonight because she has to be out of her home on Thursday. We will keep them while we decide if we are their forever home or not. If not, we plan to contact a rescue. After visiting with them on Saturday, we know they need to be kept together and will work to keep them together.

It's going to be hard enough on the dogs as it is let alone being separated from each other. She should start trying to find a rescue now that won't let them be separated in case she can't find someone on her own. Just my .02 cents worth.

A friend of a friend is needing to move. She has two long-haired minis. The girl is 8 and the boy is 6. They have been raised together as "brother and sister." They are crated separately during the day, but sleep together at night.

She is wanting to find a family who will take both dogs and keep them together. If we cannot find someone who will take both dogs, but are willing to take one or the other, will the dogs experience separation anxiety or any other types of behavior issues? Can they adjust to being an only dog?

If they can't/shouldn't be separated and we can't find a family on our own, would we then try to contact a rescue to help keep them together?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
