Seeking advice for abandon a dog?

I have two dogs, golden retriever eight years old, one of them is a trouble maker. Whenever it hears some sorts of sound like cannon or gun fireing it will become crazy and unrest. (My house is near to an army camp). Recenly it becomes even worse and it has broken a few pieces of my window glass and has hurt ifself. I have two very young grandchildren stay with me and I worry it could hurt them. Now I want to give them up to ASPA and seek you advice what proper procedure should I go through.Seeking advice for abandon a dog?
So you have 2 dogs and one is reactive to loud noises, right? You haven't bothered to try and densentise the noise reactive dog or done any training at all?


Now you can't be bothered with either of the dogs so you want to 'get rid of' the noise reactive one and the other dog.





If they have been spayed and neutered take them to GR rescue. If they are still entire, the least you can do is give them a chance and have them desexed. Rescue should not have to bear the cost of spaying/neutering your dogs. That's your responsibility.





At 8 years old your dog has a better chance of finding another home if it has been spayed/neutered. People are reluctant to take on old dogs as the best of times, let alone entire dogs.





Do not ever be tempted to get another dog. Dogs deserve a permanent home when you take on the responsibility of owing them. They don't have a use by date. I feel very sad for these dogs.





ADDED: To those who are advising her to train the dogs. No hope. She no longer wants the dogs...see the word *abandon* in the question. She wants to abandon the dogs.Seeking advice for abandon a dog?
You can do one of two things to get rid of your dog: Call golden retriever rescue, or call your local animal shelter and ask them about the procedures for giving up a dog.





Be aware of the fact that a dog that old will be hard to place- it might be easier for everyone involved if you just work with a trainer to work on their fear of loud noises.





Don't just abandon them somewhere and assume they will be found and well cared for by someone- more than likely they will be hit and killed by a car or starve to death before someone finds them ESPECIALLY if they are the nervous personality type of dog and I don't think that's what you want on your conscience. (Not to mention its illegal and will get you in all sorts of trouble.)
it is perfectly normal for dogs to be afraid of loud sounds, especially cannons for heaven's sake! that is extremely depressing. go to or look in the phone book for a no kill shelter if there is one. or try to sell them i would think people would easily take golden retrievers. dont give them away free to a good home unless they are people you know because the people who take those dogs use them for testing and they're better off asleep. what a shame and a waste of dogs that are probably nice. and how lazy are you? i mean i would think you could just stand outside of Walmart and talk to people for an hour and find someone nice who wanted a golden retriever.
Call your local shelter and ask them.





Of course, you could contact the national breed club and put the dog in their rescue program. Goldens are popular, and someone who lives far enough away from the camp would probably have a great dog.





You could call your vet; if the times that the shooting happens are on a schedule, you could put your dog on tranquilizers. If there's an animal behaviorist in town, they could help you re-train the dog to help him with his gunshyness (that's what it is).
i personally think that you should just get him trained at a pet school or train them yourself. never abandon a dog because I'm great with dogs and i know a lot about dogs. and i know that if they get abandoned they will never forget their original owner and if they're attached then they will go through depression. :(
Dont give up on your dog. My friends dog was just like that, they sent him to a training camp for 6 weeks, he came back a calm cooll and collected dog, I am a golden owner and I know how well they can change and behave. I know this option is pricey but please dont send your animal away.
You should try getting them trained or gating off certain places near the windows. If you really feel like there are no more options, go to your nearest no-kill shelter. Do not go to ASPA because they are a kill shelter. Keep in mind that it's harder to find homes for older dogs.
go to a no kill shelter and walk it in they will ask you to sign a release form then u leave the dog and they will find it a good home google aspca's for your area and find the nearest one
free dog to good home. alway works
