Dog housing/boarding needed

San Antonio TX

Description

I’m posting here today because I need some help. Over the past few months I have been caring for a stray dog my parents took in but over the time it’s taken me to get him in good health and trained I’ve become quite attached to him. Unfortunately my living situation does not allow me to bring in another dog to my home and my parents are no longer able to house him at the end of this month. I am looking for someone nearby who has a dog free home or experience handling large dogs to board/house him for me for the next year while I get back on my feet so I can get my own place. (Until December) I will pay you monthly for caring for him and I can come by daily to walk him and feed him I just need somewhere safe where he can spend the night consistently. I’m thinking 550 a month is the most I can afford to pay you for your help and of course I will pay for all his food and whatever he needs. I essentially just need someone with a place for him to sleep and who wouldn’t mind taking him out to restroom a few times a day. I’m looking for someone who wouldn’t mind helping out a bit when I’m working and would allow me to still take care of him daily. I would really love to be able to keep him he’s become a huge part of my life and the thought of having to let him go breaks my heart. If this sounds like something you can do please reach out! I need to find him a place to stay soon and of course if for any reason you couldn’t continue to house him I have temporary fosters in place who can hold him for a short period of time to find somewhere else. A little on his personality. He loves to go on LONG walks like 2-4 miles long. In fact when we found him he had traveled 20 miles from where he last was. He does get tired because of his short legs so water breaks are a must during a long walk or hike. He really enjoys tug of war, cuddles, hugs and being told how cute he is. He also really likes looking at his reflection in the mirror haha. He does okay with some male dogs but gets a little over excited with female dogs but I’m hoping with some training and now that I’ve gotten him neutered he will learn. In order to keep my parents dogs safe we’ve been keeping him separate from the other dogs and it’s been going well. He has a large kennel we made for him so when I leave for work or he has to be put up to let the other dogs out he doesn’t feel stressed. He is very strong but is responsive to commands and with more training I’m going to do with him he will learn even more. He is overall a great goofy guy and very loving once he gets used to you and feels like you’re not going to leave him or hurt him. Whoever had him previous to him exploring the streets for months used to hit him and he shows signs of fear around cigarette smoke as well. The vet said it appeared he had been on the street for a while due to the condition we found him in. We searched for some time for his family but according to residents in the neighborhood he was previously spotted in they said he had been wandering in the area for a few months. He’s had a rough first 3 years of life and I’m doing everything I can to make the rest of his time here happy. If you can help me with housing him or are interested in taking him in please reach out. I’d really love to find somewhere for him to stay so I can keep working with him and continue to have him be a part of my family. I’m working hard to get on my feet and get us a place of our own by December.
