I just adopted a ten year old dog a couple weeks go. She’s the sweetest thing and I love her so much but I’m worried I’m not the person for her. She was abandoned about 3 months ago after being in a home for 10 years so naturally she has extremely bad abandonment issues. I’m 25, I live alone, and I work outside the house. I work 6 days a week for about 7-8 hours a day. Luckily 2 of the days I’m able to see her on my break but the other 4 days she’s alone for about 7 hours. I have a camera so I can make sure she’s okay but all I see is that during these 7 hours all she’s doing is pacing and barking and howling. I feel horrible every time I leave my house but I have to work. I just feel like this is never gonna get easier and i feel horrible stressing her out so much. I didn’t realize how hard this was going to be. I feel like im tied to my apartment and i cant live my life now

I just adopted a 10 year old dog about a week ago. She was spayed over a week ago and abandoned by her long term family a couple months ago. She’s a really sweet dog, major separation anxiety and I’m concerned because it seems like all she does is sleep. Her eating habits are fine she was definitely neglected and malnourished so in the beginning she ate her food quick but now it’s slowed down but she still eats about 3 times a day. Some days she eats more than others. But really all she does is sleep. Is that normal for a 10 year old dog or should I be worried?

Hello! Ive recently come across a three year old female westie that was dumped outside of a veterinarians office. She is currently still being treated at a rescue so she is not up for adoption yet but I am seriously considering adopting her when she’s ready. I had a westie growing up and I have such a soft spot for those amazing dogs and I truly think seeing her post was fate.

I need help to know if it’s alright if I leave her alone for 8ish hours while I work. I live alone and I work 4 days a week from 9-5. I would walk her before and after I get home and every other day I would spend all my time with her. I really do want her and I’m willing to do whatever to make it work
