My brother is forced to move to Hawaii on tuesday for 3 years cause of military orders. he isn't able to take the dog with him because of the rabie policy in Hawaii and the money issue of getting the dog tested(my parents won't let my brother borrow money.). He asked everyone he knew to take care of the dog but they all said no. I wanted to take care of the dog but my parents told me and my brother that they hate animals and that I won't be able to concentrate in school and that school is my top priority. I've tried talking to my parents about it but they always get pissed off and yell at me. So my brother has no choice but to send him to the animal shelter. How can I persuade my parents to let me keep the dog?
They are being a little crazy with the not being able to concentrate on your school work. Responsibility is usually a good thing for children to have.
Here is another idea: see if there is a dog rescue service in your area that can help out. There are people in their networks that foster dogs until they can be adopted. Maybe one of these people would be willing to help out. And maybe brother can send some money back to help in the dog's care while he is away.
You could also appeal to the media. Here we have a young man working hard to protect our country and he cannot take his best friend with him. Surely you could set up a small fund to help with whatever testing the dog needs to be able to take him along.
You could sell doughnuts, lemonade, cut yards, babysit to help raise the money since you proabably don't have a job. And so could your brother if he really wanted to. There is a significant financial responsiblility that comes with having an animal in your life.
Good luck.
