Am I doing the right thing?

I would not send another dog to that house unless they find out exactly what happened to the first dog OR they come up with a good plan to protect the new dog.

while your intentions are good, there's a high probability that something like that could happen again, would you really want another dog to suffer?

You are kind and have a good heart. Go ahead and get them a new dog. Good Luck to them

Dog 2 buying is bulshit if you can't take care of Dog 1

If the dog was killed off the property, then they were letting it run at large. That is not responsible ownership. I would not get them another dog.

No. How the hell did they let a pup go missing? Too stupid and negligent to have pet.

IMO I'd be leary of giving them another puppy. I'd fine out how the dog got left outside before I would agree to replacing.

It would be a very sweet thing to do and will ease their grief-- go for it!

Another pup may be killed in the same manner. Don't think their neighborhood is safe for a dog. Especially a pup that has not been poison proofed. They must let the dog out by its self & is not supervised, They need to keep the dog in the house & only supervised when outside. They may not be the right kind of people to own a dog. Do they have about a thousand put away to take care of the Vet charges for the first 6 months of this puppies life? To get it's shots, wormed, Vetted, spayed/neutered, chipped will cost them about a thousand bucks, unless you pay her so little that she would qualify for low income & could use AHA's low cost Vet clinic.

If dogs are being poisoned in their neighborhood, I would not replace the pup.

I say go for it. It's kind and generous.
