Please help me find Pia a home. I have had a lot of time to think about this. This has been a bad match. I was hoping to find a dog-dog. And Pia was almost perfect except there's way too much-lap-dog in there among other things.
I'd prefer to send her off healthy. But this relationship, for all of its small moments of progress is deteriorating on a daily basis. Especially in the evenings. I've tried everything to make the bathroom an acceptable den for her in the evening. Kibble hidden in blankets (Thanks Joan). Play time before bed time in the bathroom of course. Nightlight. Toys. Last night's hour plus serenade seems to be down to half an hour tonight. But I could get an encore. This is a dog that wants to sleep in your room at night. And sleep on your lap during the day if possible. She really is an angel. And I want to get her to a home more appropriate to her personality and needs sooner than later if possible. I just feel that the longer she stays with me, the worse she's going to get. And that is not the point of rescuing a dog - I rescued because I thought I could save a sweet little girl and give her a forever home where she'd be happy. Sadly, that has not been the case. I do not have the capacity to fulfill her needs. I lack certain essential qualities that she requires. If there is anyone out there knowledgeable enough to take on a dog with KC, please have them get in touch with me. I have her meds. I have plenty of things to get her new owner started. Again, my offer still stands - if something doesn't work, she can always come back to me and I'll try again. She is NOT under any circumstances to be returned to a shelter. Paperwork to this effect will have to be signed. As always, thank you to everyone who's helped the two of us out with your advice and support. I have to agree with Peggy on this one - the sooner I get her to a good home, the better. I don't think I can post her on PetFinder sick or unspayed - or rather, I don't want too. Too many risks. I will go to my local vet and see what they have to say about finding her a foster/permanent home tomorrow. Man...this is the most depressing thing I've dealt with. And I can't imagine poor Pia is any happier. I just keep telling myself...a few weeks of misery for the two of us is still better than long term death for one of us. ------------------------------------ We are now on Facebook!
