Would you be ok with your partner adopting your pet (s)?

[Anonymous]

If you were together for a long time or wanted to get married, how would you feel if your partner wanted to adopt your pet (s)? To me, I think that would be sweet. My brother’s husband did that with his dog and I thought it was the sweetest thing 🥰

I have a fur baby. She's the sweetest doggy. I could never let someone else adopt her. She'd die of being away from me. She dances when I walk in the door. So no wouldn't be an option.

I meant, your partner adopts your dog as their own. Like, become a family.

[Asker]

Not take her away.

[Mansearching]

If my girlfriend adopts her and we break up she'd be able to take her away.

[Asker]

Wait, for real? I didn’t think that could be possible for animals since you have all the information for your dog. Like, her vet records and stuff.

If both are on ownership papers then yes. Judge can decide where the pet can go. As in best place for it.

My pet would be coming with me anyways so she wouldn't need to adopt.

No, they stay under my name. If things don't work out they are coming with me.

[Asker]

Fair enough

[Ms_Facesitter]

It's just that a friend of mine made that mistake and his partner was pretty toxic, and he didn't have the dog on his name, even though he's the one who actually really understands dogs. It's pretty sad.

[Asker]

I totally get that. It’s not for everyone.

Absolutely down! I have a vasectomy so dog dad is the only future for my kids.

I’d want us to pick pets together, not as a surprise.

[Asker]

No, not as a surprise. But, like your partner adopts your pet as their own. But, wanting to get one together sounds great too. I wouldn’t mind that either.
