It should be fine, as long as the next owner to take over your pet is responsible and must be a real pet lover. Cos I just adopted a 8 year old Jack Russell. It took him about 2 weeks to get used to us, and now he is a happy and cheerful dog! In fact he looks better now, was slightly overweight previously. Now he has new toys, his own bed, a bigger space to run ard, and we will bring him out to meet 'friends' at the dog run in bishan.
So just have to screen the next owner and I am sure your dog will still have many happy years to live.
And I strongly encourage all dog lovers to adopt pets instead of buying from pet shops. Watched Oprah show recently and it showed how the female dogs were used as commodities to breed puppies for their entire lifetime and then left to die. It seems to be somehow the same for puppy mills in Singapore.
