Parents just gave away my dog....

Basically the title says it all.... My father has been threatening it for a long time because he's sick and tired of my dog shedding, but when I got home today they actually did it, they told me last week that they had found a family interested in my dog but I didn't believe they were being serious.... I've had that dog since I was like 11, every time I've moved and lost all my friends, my dog was always there for me so that I actually had a friend. She was such an amazing animal, she was literally the perfect dog... I'm actually depressed, I can't believe that she's gone.... Holy shit man... this sucks....

Crap like that makes me want to kill people. I'm sorry to hear that. It's totally awful that they would do that to you and your dog. How inconsiderate. I have to ask though... you said they hated that your dog shed so much hair, but uhh... did you make an effort to vaccuum up the hair and eliminate that problem so they wouldn't complain about it so much?

Dude, that is harsh.  Really harsh.  Your parents are tougher than me and I am pretty tough.  Chances are I would love the family pet and couldn't do it.  I would sue them  :/

Ah, man that sucks! But try to remember the good times with her and let the memories cheer you up. It might seem fucked up now, and probably always will, but you'll most likely get over it soon or later and then you'll have a lifetime of great memories. Stay strong, dude!

I'm really sorry to hear that, man. I know what it's like to lose a dog, though my experience is under a different circumstance. That's a really fucked up thing your parents did, especially not even giving you a chance to say goodbye. If it was me, I'd do everything in my power to get my dog back, but I understand that's most likely not a possibility. I seriously hope her new family cares enough about her to not get rid of her due to some piss-poor excuse like shedding.

Yeah, I can't help but think at a certain point if you're expecting the rest of your family take care of your dog then it's really up to them to decide if they want to continue to take care of it. At what point over the numerous times (Apparently) that they warned they were going to get rid of your dog did you sit down and ask them what you could do to help?
 
In any case it's a sucky situation. Sorry 'bout your dog.

Also, when my parents divorced, my father took my dog and went to another province. The next week I booked a 1000$ return trip to BC to take my dog back. True story; was definitely worth it.

I can't imagine why any parents would actually do this to their kid. These aren't parents. They're fucking dicks. If I lived close enough to you I'd gladly carry out revenge on those assholes free of charge.

Seriously, that's some fucked-up shit!  If I ever had Momo or Drex given away, I'd be liable to fucking murder someone! 
 
With that said, Drex is going in soon for heartworm treatment, and for anyone who has ever had a dog go through that, it's never a guarantee that the dog will make it out of the treatment alive.  =  /  I feel your pain, bro.

This.
 
Maybe if OP had actually been a good owner and took care of his dog (brushed and bathed him/her) this wouldn't have happened.

My dog Momo is a labrador/German Shepard mix.  Bathing and brushing doesn't change the fact that she sheds.  Many times, it's a seasonal thing, and especially right now since most long-haired dogs would finally be shedding their winter coats.  She's a long-haired dog, and that's what happens.  While "their house, their rules" does apply, that doesn't mean the dood's parents had to be so heartless as to just give his dog away.  They could've offered other options, such as making it an outside dog or possibly giving her a dedicated room in the house if that was an option as well.

My sympathies man, that really sucks hard - I totally get how attached you can get to your pets. 
 
Not to presume to know what happened or anything but the quotes above have a decent point - if there was an issue that you could talk through, it's definitely worth a shot - maybe you could even convince them to take the dog back if you made enough sacrifices? Sounds like you'd be willing to if you were given the chance. 
 
Just sitting down to talk things through calmly could really help - especially if you let your parents know just how much the dog meant to you.

But what I don't understand is if you've had the dog since you were 11(I'm guessing thats a while, I don't know how old you are), why is your dad just now getting upset about the shedding?

People like that should never get animals to begin with. They never seem to realize that the dog integrates into your family on an emotional level, and there is no getting rid of them without seriously screwing them up. And over something that stupid... I mean, I've grown to be more than a little annoyed by the level of shedding my dog seems to do, to where I can vacuum practically every day and still get clumps of fur around (and the worst part is the havok it wreaks with computer components). I'm even annoyed by the fact that my dog has gotten really baby-ish in his old age, and does stupid things he was taught not to do as a puppy, but none of that means I'd get rid of him. You just don't do that. It's not like there are only the bad times...
 
And its especially bad that she meant a lot to you. Make yourself heard. Get a de-shedding brush and promise to groom her to keep the fur down. They should have known what owning a dog entails before they got her.
