yes.
A few years ago, I had 3 cats - a mom, and her 2 boys.
(the mom we (me + ex) found wandering outside in the winter, apparently a stray, and shortly after we took her in, apparently pregnant. c-section, 2 of 6 kittens were alive, the 2 boys).
eventually me and bf broke up, I kept the cats, for a year or 2 I suppose.
It got to the point where I just couldn't deal with having, and cleaning up after, 3 cats. just didn't have the time at that time, to give them what they needed.
And, my childhood cat was getting very old, still living at my mom's house, and I wanted to spend her last days with her.
So, I brought the family of 3 to the Animal Humane Society. very heartbreaking thing to do. I do not know what their fate was, altho I suspect that, if they were adopted, they were likely split up. (I requested they be kept together if possible, the people @ the shelter said they would do their best, but I'm realistic..).
And, more recently, when I moved from the US to germany a couple years ago, I had to find a place for my 2 cats (the ones I adopted a few months after my childhood cat died).
There is no way in hell I could've given them to a shelter, so thank god my mom was kind enough to take them for me. she's taking very good care of them.
I feel your pain, Prince. It is a very hard thing to do. Just know in your heart you did the right thing for all involved people/creatures, and trust that the puppy you had to let go of will find a new home and be happy.
