Awwwww, I'll never forget that day when you adopted me from the pound. They were going to put me to sleep because nobody wanted me, but then you came and stroked me softly through the bars of my cage and took me home with you. And now you're sending me away and I won't be able to be with you any more
View the trade that is sending me away! I don't wanna go!
What kind of nastiness is this implying the pound is? It's kind of messed up that this implies the pets (which evidently can talk and are therefore sapient) are going to be killed if they spend too long in the pound. And that the pets (again, sapient) are in cages.
How about something like
"Do you remember when you adopted me from the pound? You saw me through the crowd, and you wanted me! I was so excited! So I' m a bit confused now why you're sending me away. Do you not want me any more?"
instead? A bit less upsetting, especially for younger players.
EDIT:
To be clear, I see why the message exists. I just don't think it should be this sad, and it definitely shouldn't imply that the pound, which is where these pets that can talk go, will eventually kill them and has them in cages the whole time. Nobody needs that mental image.
OTHER EDIT:
You can block the messages by doing the below. I just don't think the message should be upsetting enough to warrant blocking it because of its content.

if you go into your messages > Rules, folders & settings > add new rule
make the rule "if sender is [insert your username] delete message". it will still show that you got a new message, but when you go to see it, it will say "one private message has been removed due to private message filters". it helps me so I don't have to see the sad and heartwrenching message, but I still know it's there.
