I'm sorry for your loss, and feel your pain. My dog Nicky passed last March. Very tough time for the household. Almost a year later, and I'm still debating whether I want to get another one. I've turned down four offers in the last year. Very tough, as I am a dog lover, but the lack of respect many, not all, but many people in the DR have not just for dogs but other people's property really gnaws at me. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
