Description
I need some advice or help. Please do not flag this posting! I am doing the best I can in a difficult situation.
I have a dog who eventually needs a new home, but she has some serious medical issues that she is currently (hopefully) recovering from. My vet tells me that she cannot give this dog a clean bill of health for at least another couple months, and I do not feel she is place-able until she is physically well again. Once she is healthy, I think it will be easy for her to find a great forever home, as she is absolutely lovely just as long as she can be an “only dog”.
I am committed to helping this dog, have already invested a lot in her, and am willing to continue to spend the time and money needed to hopefully “fix” the dog’s medical conditions. The problem is that we simply cannot have this dog in our home any longer as she hates all of our own dogs. All of my own dogs have been patiently spending long hours in their crates because our guest dog cannot tolerate any of them (and cannot tolerate being crated herself) and the situation is very unfair to them and is making all of us very unhappy.
None of the options for our guest dog are good ones. I would prefer not to surrender her to anyone who is not 100% willing to commit to seeing her through her (very expensive) medical issues, and she hates being outside by herself and hates kennels and crates, so a boarding kennel would be less than ideal.
Does anyone know of any animal rescue organizations who might be able to help me with her? If so, please send me their names/contact info. I’m not looking to dump her and I am not looking for financial assistance. I just need a safe place for her to live (without other dogs!) for another couple months until I can hopefully find a great new home for her.
