Woman From Pennsylvania Is Surprised By This Owner’s Question After She Surrenders Her Dog

Woman From Pennsylvania Is Surprised By This Owner’s Question After She Surrenders Her Dog

Anyone who has ever had a dog knows how hard it is when we lose them. It’s one of the most painful moments in our lives.

The worst part about it? We know that it’s not going to last, but we hope that our furry companions can stay with us forever.

Even though that is not realistic, the memories that we create with our pups will last a lifetime and we can always recall a treasured moment we shared with our dog.

Sometimes, losing a dog doesn’t always mean that they cross the rainbow bridge. Occasionally, owners who have personal problems are forced to surrender their dog so they can have a better life.

And, that is just incredibly painful. Regardless, it’s something that is done out of love. When this owner was forced to let go of her pup, she was completely heartbroken but it needed to be done.

April’s Future

When Jackie Pajan, from Pennsylvania, first started her online persona of Rainbow Bridge Raina, she was glad to see how many people reached out to her.

The idea was simple. She offered people emotional support in a time of grief. Whenever anyone lost their pet, they could reach out to her for consolation.

It’s an amazing way to show people the support they need after going through something so heartbreaking and Jackie is amazing for that.

However, this next case was unique. After finding out about a dog who needed a foster home, she decided to ask around and see if she could help.

She found out that the pup’s owner had health problems and she just couldn’t take care of her anymore, but she was hoping that the rescuers could find someone suitable for her.

When the rescuers were getting ready to take her in, the owner just had one question:Are you going to change her name?

This was such a heartbreaking question, but the rescuers from Pennsylvania told her that they would not change her name per her request.

They did this for the sake of April’s owner. Every precious memory is tied to that name and she just doesn’t want to see it changed.

Shortly after that, Jackie decided to foster the pup and they are now hoping that April can find a loving home soon.

After witnessing this whole event, Jackie recorded a short clip where she explained April’s story and the video received hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok.

Everyone was heartbroken over April’s life, so they decided to share their thoughts and opinions on her story.

One person commented: “I adopted my boy from a shelter and the owner who turned him in left a letter with his name and all of the commands he knew and the things he loved.”

It’s so heartwarming to see just how much that owner cared about his pup. Even when they have to surrender them, they make sure that the pup still gets to enjoy the things he used to love.

Another person said: “I had a Dad give up his dog because his daughter was allergic. He wrote a handwritten letter to the rescue. He was heartbroken.

Ah, yes… this is indeed an unfortunate situation, but things like this can happen, and sometimes there is no good solution. Luckily, this pup will get another chance thanks to his dad.

Lastly, somebody commented: “I can’t even imagine how hard it was for them to part with her. This made me burst into tears. Thank you for loving her and making her feel safe.

I agree with this. If there is one good thing that came out of all this, it’s that April got another chance to be with someone special until she finds a forever home.

Even though I am sure that she misses her owner dearly, she looks happy to be with someone who treats her with love and respect and that is the only thing that matters.
