ISO temporary home for elderly dog

W north near Kulshan, Bellingham WA

Description

Hello! I am searching for a companion human for my 15 year old miniature dachshund. She has separation anxiety and needs another human lap to snuggle in while I am at work during the week. I work 5am-1pm and am open to a drop off/pick up daily situation or a place where she can just live Wednesday night thru Monday afternoon. This would be a temporary situation until my lease is up in September and I can find the right living space for her and I. I know that this is a lot to ask but I am desperately trying to keep her in my life as we have been together for 10 years now and we are each other therapy companions. Unfortunately circumstances have led me to this position and I am just hoping some kind hearted animal lover sees this and wants to hang out with a sweet little dog. She is not a barker, she is house trained, she loves riding in my backpack on hikes and bike rides, she is good with children of all ages and can even tolerate most dogs although she isn’t super keen on big puppies in her face (she’s an old lady) but is savvy with stating her boundaries in a stern but not attacking sort of way. She is a dachshund and there are things she shouldn’t do like jumping off couches and climbing up and down flights of stairs because of her age and back. But she is still bouncy and active. I don’t have much to offer but would love to make you meals, run errands, do yard work, house cleaning, really any kind of help in trade for dog sitting/temp housing. Thank you for reading.
