I have 2 dogs which I would like to give to a new home.
#1 is a boxer, she is loving and playful. She loves to run, good with kids.
#2 is a mix mutt, not sure exactly, looks a little sharpei and bull dog,,, very calm and quiet, loves attention, but is shy.
Both dogs are outside dogs. We have recently moved and just dont have the room for them.

Good luck trying to find homes for your dogs as every shelter and rescue is full.
Maybe you should have thought long & hard before making a commitment to get dogs.
It's not right to get rid of them simple because you no longer want them or don't have the space to keep them. Sorry if I sound harsh, but there are too many dogs getting rehomed and the rescue groups & individuals are taking on the responsibility trying to find these pets new homes, not fair to them or the dogs!

If u rescue & foster many dogs you get tired of peoples excuses on why they can no longer keep their dogs or cats. I'm sorry, but you should think about the lifetime commitment to that animal before giving them away.
I have 1 dog that is mine, the rest are peoples throw aways. I am sick & tired of it. Having a pet is a choice, if you are not in it for the long haul, don't get one.
As for people who dump them, no excuse! It's sorry, but most people dump them hoping someone else will find them and give them a good home. People tend to dump them near nice subdivisions or schools thinking their animal will find a home. The people who dump them in remote areas need to be locked up! They are ignorant & cruel.

No one expects hard times when they purchase their pet and I am sure the last thing they want to do is dump them. But if it came between my family's quality of life and the dog, I would find the dog a new place to live, then take it to a shelter.
As for "outside dogs". My dog loves being in the yard. We bring her in at night or when it is raining. When we do bring her in she wants to go right back outside. Either to chase squirrels, birds or to just sit and protect. Basically she knows she is a dog and not a 4 legged child.

The fact is when you are in rescue, you get so many calls, emails, etc. from individuals who wish or can no longer care for their animals. It's alarming quite frankly. I guess I was raised to be responsible with my pets, when I adopt a cat/dog, I think of them as a family member. I would never give them away simply because they were an inconvenience.
I understand, if you serve in the armed forces and you get called to duty, you have to find someone who can care for your pet while you are gone or rehome them altogether or if you have a terminal disease, you have no choice. However, if you move to another city or state, take your damn pet!! If you are on hard times, ask for help, people have big hearts and come together to help those who have pets in need. I have seen it time and time again.
I have several dogs, I have made sacrifices both personal & financial to care for my dogs and all the strays I find. You just get to a point where you get tired of cleaning up other peoples problems. I have 1 dog of my own, the rest are abandoned dogs and cats other people dumped.
In my subdivision, there are still cats that are not neutered. It's insane to get a dog or cat and let them run loose on your street without spaying or neutering. I blame the owners 100%. Pet overpopulation has become such a problem in Houston. There are areas of town you can drive thru, and dogs are running rampant all over the place. It's called the Corridor of Cruelty. It's in a low income area, and it's like driving thru a Third World Country. Dead dogs everywhere......in Houston.
Anyway, I just wish people would think long & hard before getting a dog or cat. It's a lifetime commitment. Right now the SPCA is not taking any animals due to capacity. There are so many animals needing homes and there are few homes to be had, so trying to find a home for your pet is going to be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack!
