I might have to get rid of my puppy
My girl is nine months old and I’ve had her since she was 9 weeks old. I am living at my father’s home and not sure when I can move out.
When I first got her, my father was okay with her being here and happy to have her in the home. Everything has been going great.
My father started dating a woman with a dog four times her size. She’s been attacked by this dog twice, blood was drawn both times, and people have been hurt too. We cannot have them in the same room because the womans dog will attack my puppy. My puppy does not do anything to provoke this dog, the dog comes up behind her and just attacks.
This woman and her dog are moving into our home in four weeks. She’s already here half of the time.
Having my puppy locked in my room half of the time is not fair to her. I leave the home and she has to be put in her crate. When they’re home and I’m not they keep her locked up. She gets so much anxiety from being locked away when people are home. Ripping her crate cover off and just loosing her mind.
It’s hard enough having a dog with so much anxiety but having no help and a dog who attacks her in the home is making things so much worse.
I have so much anxiety all of the time because of this situation. I feel so awful for my puppy and I don’t think it’s realistic to be able to have these two dogs in the same home.
I’ve tried talking to them but neither of them seem to care about my puppys well being and keep telling me it’ll get better. I want my puppy no where near that dog. Everything going on is a lot for me and for my puppy.
Would it be better to find her a better home?
She’s such a sweet girl and I love her more than anything. It would break my heart to have to let her go but it might be the best thing for her.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
