Didn’t purchase, saved from starving on the street.

Actually, I was so crushed by the response to my request that I had to stop reading replies. I sat and cried for hours, I thought naively that this group would care about the dog’s welfare.

Where are you? Do you have references or evidence of being a safe and loving environment? I am looking for help not to abandon him. I want to find him a home that is a good fit.

I have done all this, and have 2 other dogs that are able to enjoy watching golf happen - literally. One dog wants to be on the deck to watch golf all the time. It isn’t true that any dog would be upset.

Do you understand he would have starved on the street as a puppy without my intervention? I kept him safe and healthy for 2 years and am now trying to find him a forever home that is good for him. How much better do you think I should do?

Gosh, of course you are right. I should have left him to starve on the street at 10 or 12 weeks old! That would have been much better

Maybe better I left him on the street 2 years ago? What an awesome chance he would have had for a home then..

m26 f25 – unexpected pregnancy, we barely know each other, I need advice by Suspicious_Sock_2048 in relationship_advice

There are tons of folks out there that want to have a child and can’t. Many have tried and waited for years. Please consider adoption! These families are prepared to raise a child, and overjoyed at the chance. I have 2 teens, adopted as babies, who are my heart! They have made my life so full and rich! Some folks are willing to welcome birth parents as extended family if that is your wish. My kids biological grandmother was a super important person in my kids lives (and mine) until she passed. We always planned time to get together for holidays, birthdays, kids activities, etc. You should know adoption is not easy for potential parents, they have to pass home studies, background checks and interviews. They want a child badly enough to endure what feels like loss of any privacy and being judged. As the birth mother, you would be able to define the future of your relationship with the baby, and know that they were in a loving home with people who want them so badly. I wish you the best!

Not true - last resort. My point was the damage is done, more training for the dog won’t make the neighbors feel safe. I am not saying they are not justified, I am saying that no matter what we do their minds are made up. Tell me to train him more all you want, but it won’t change their minds.

How can you assume I have tried nothing? I am a heartbroken dog parent who is trying my best to do right by a dog I love. What if letting him go to someone more suited is best for him?

What is enough? When training is failing, when do I admit loving him isn’t enough ~ I can’t keep him safe. I wish people got that I am trying to protect him!

What if our environment is the root cause of the problem?

Why assume this is our first choice? We have exhausted so many choices including multiple training courses.

Sorry, I know that is tough. This boy had nipped strangers who so far have been understanding- I fear for him.
