Find home for older ailing dog l am unable to keep her

Find home for older ailing dog,l'am unable to keep her?

You have had this dog for 15 years, or almost? That is a long time and your dog is it is likely your dog won't live a whole lot longer. Keep your dog if at all possible until it is her time to go. If you are in a place that doesn't take dogs, try to find a place that does. If you have a relative who can help, than ask for their help. That is what is fair to the dog.

If you can't do any of these things, then find an animal rescue league in your area. They will probably be able to help. Go directly to where they show their animals on weekends (usually a pet store) and bring the dog along, asking for help. But, don't call first saying you are bringing your dog. Just show up, or they will say they can't help. Each pet supply store usually has groups that show pets at their store.

But, a shelter will likely put the dog down, so don't take her to a shelter. She would also likely become sick, and then they will most definitely put her down - no matter what they tell you to your face.

Manager won't let me have dog, but she has dog herself?

Forget the manager for a second; Are you ready for a dog? Apartments & dogs don't mix well. Are you prepared to get up earlier every day to walk her, to come home right after work to take her out again, and probably take her out 1 more time just before bedtime??. You just can't let the dog run loose. Are you willing to walk the dog in the rain, cold, dark??? Most places require you put down a pet deposit, can you afford it!. Are you going to have it neutered or spayed? When you go away, who will take care of it? Can you handle complaints from the neighbors when it barks at 3 am?? Does your spouse/roommate/other want a dog?

l ran a condo for years. People often buy pets without thinking it through. If this is your first place to be on your own then don't do it. Also, Don't do it, if the dog is going to be inside ALONE for more then 8-10 hours a day.

Should I re-home my dog, or my girlfriend? I can't afford a fence right now and my girlfriend of 16 months can't handle my 10 month old dog living inside anymore, because she constantly tears up shoes and does common puppy things. She's a great dog.

If you have a baby, you baby-proof your home. You remove things that can be broken, you put latches on cabinet doors, you put everything the baby can hurt or be hurt by out of her reach.

Even though your puppy is ten months old, you need to puppy-proof your home. Put shoes away if you don’t want them chewed on; for that matter, put away anything you don’t want damaged.

If she’s not house trained, you need to house train her. That means taking her outside at regular intervals. For an ten-month-old puppy, that should be every fiour to five hours. If you can’t meet this schedule, then you have three alternatives: crate her, confine her to one area of the house (the kitchen? a bathroom?) or teach her to use piddle pads.

Crate training, if done properly, will result in your dog’s considering her crate her den, a place where she’s safe and comfortable. When you start training her, use a crate that’s just large enough for her to stand, turn around, and lay down without being cramped. There are crates with partitions that can be moved as the dog grows, or you can buy a larger one when she outgrows the small crate. Be sure to provide her with fresh water and something soft to lay on: a crate pad or a pillow or a blanket. If it’s a wire crate, you might want to drape an old blanket over it to make it seem more secure. When she’s not in the crate, leave the door open so she can go into it when she wants.

Don’t blame your puppy for acting like a puppy. Put things out of her reach. Give her own toys to chew on—at eight months, she’s probably cutting teeth and chewing soothes her gums. Besides, mouthing is one way for her to learn about an object. Empty the garbage can every evening after supper. Everybody has a slew of plastic grocery bags around—put smelly things in a grocery bag and tie it before putting it in the garbage can.

Encourage her to put things the puppy might chew away. If the pup can’t reach it, she can’t chew it.

Dogs should be part of the family, not creatures to be left outside in the elements.

Should a dog be put down because of blindness?

If that is all that is wwrong with the dog then the answer is NO!It is remarkable how animals who are blind can manage to cope with their inability to see.
They are able to negotiate to their water bowl,food bowl,sleeping place and the couch.
If the dog has some quality of life than leave Mother Nature alone and if possible give this dog the chance to live until it is time for his life to end especially old age blindness as the dog has fullfilled his duties to you by giving you uncondditional love You now owe this dog the chance to live out its last few years and if a younger dog it is amazing how dogs adapt to their afflictions.
l knew someone who actually showed a fully blind dog in the Show Ring (conformation) and that animal leaned against the owner for support and no-one knew it was blind as the eyes had not clouded over yet.Unfortunately that dog was ownd by someone very very unpleasant and all she cared about was getting titles so at first she did not put this dog down after it got its championship as it came from my breeding lines and knew l disapproved of the abovee venture until one day she claimed the dog was growling at her other dogs and had it put down.Can you imagine how devastated l was yet stupid me l did not report her to the Dog Controlling Body for her actions and in hindsight should have brought the dog to my property and allowed it to live as a House dog (It was only 2 years old)as l then read up about blind dogs and realized it my big mistake in judgement of allowing her to cntinue having the dog ;l now have to live with my conscience.

Absolutely devasted by the loss of my dog?

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. People who say stuff like, "it was just a dog" or "you can just get a replacement" don't understand the deep loss we feel when we lose a beloved animal companion. We had to have a Cardigan Corgi put to sleep when she was only five years old due to renal failure, after all attempts to help her failed. We're now convinced the Science Diet prescription dog food they put her on for food allergies is what destroyed her kidneys. We felt an overwhelming sense of grief and guilt. What if we had taken her to a different vet? What if we had just put her on a different dog food instead of the Science Diet? What if we had noticed her symptoms sooner?

I know that there is a poem called "The Rainbow Bridge", and it's about losing a beloved pet. I think sometimes it's harder to lose an animal, because they cannot tell us what's wrong with them and we're the ones who must decide their fate. What we did with Dottie, our Corgi, was had her cremated. We keep her urn with a photo and framed poem and her dog collar in a curio cabinet. Having that little memorial for her really helped cope with the loss.

For the first few years it was hard, especially on my mother. She used to toss her scraps of things like green beans or carrots when she was cooking dinner. Dottie was always by her side, waiting to catch a veggie piece in midair. For months my mother would think Dottie was supposed to be there and would toss food and realize she was gone. Dottie would wake us up every morning by jumping in our beds and licking our faces. I think one of the hardest aspects of pet loss is losing that routine. The parts of having a pet that become so ingrained in your day to day life that the absence of that routine is very unsettling. It completely disrupts what you had come to accept, and love, as normal in your life.

Time does heal all wounds. It's still very fresh and new for you. Try not to take it to heart when people try and trivialize your grief. Those who have been there will be able to sympathize with your grief.

Why do girls have sex with their dogs!?

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awvZK

Unlike others, I will answer this like it is serious question. Yes, women can and do have sex with male dogs. I do not look at this as abusive because there is no way to FORCE a male dog to mount and penetrate a woman. There are some things to consider though. First, this may very well be illegal where you live. Look up the laws under "sexual misconduct" where you live. Ironically enough, the fact that those laws are under that section of the penal code BOLSTERS the case that the practice is not abusive since if lawmakers really thought it was abusive, that law would be in the "agricultural & markets" section where animal treatment is regulated. There is NO WAY for this conduct to be abusive to the dog....except in the morally superior minds of those who look at dogs as some kind of furry child instead of the sexually driven creatures that they are. Second, there is actually a MUCH greater chance for a woman to be harmed by a dog penetrating her since her vagina is not really built for that. The base of the dog's penis swells GREATLY to lock it inside of a female dog while mating and can damage a woman...especially if she tries to withdraw it before the dog losses his erection which can mean being "stuck" together for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Third, getting pregnant is NOT possible due to the difference in chromosomes. STD's are not an issue either (except for the rare transmission of Brucellosis which can mainly effect a woman's ability to have a normal pregnancy). I do think a human/puppy would look cool though :-)
