I can't give my dog away.
Okay, my parents work 9-5 pretty much every day, me and my to brothers go to school but were getting out on summer vacation. I have a part-time job for the summer and my brothers are going away for the summer...My dog is home all the time by her self and we can't put her on her leash because all she does is bark, my mom has been hounding my for a year pretty much the entire time that we've had her. she always says that she's going to get rid of her but this time she is serious she had people over to look at the dog and everything, she gave me the a choice whether to get rid over her or not. I know it would be the best thing to get rid of her but I honestly don't think I can. I have no idea what i should do please help

Sorry
Im with everyone else on this one.
Looks like you are going to have to give her up.
You love her, but you cant give her the attention she needs, but there is someone out there who can.

Ok. What I would do is hire a doggy sitter, or give her to a person who lives not so far away and who will let you visit her. If those dont work you might just have to give her away period. Dogs get lonley very easliy and need a lot of attention,and if you cant give that to her than she will be miserable. You dont want her to be miserable do you? Do the right thing and get rid of her. She will be happier and you might get to visit her. I know it's hard, but its right for her and you.

Ouch. That's a painful situation. It sounds like you already know what the right thing to do is, it's just the doing it that's hard. I can understand that; we recently had to make the decision to have our cat of about 16 years put to sleep. It was for the best, but it was still incredibly difficult.
Is it possible to give her to a family who would be willing to let you visit sometimes? Or is there a neighbourhood kid who would love to visit with your dog either to earn some money, or because he or she can't have a pet?
You're doing the right thing in considering first and foremost your pet's wellbeing. Keep that in mind, and let yourself hurt--but do the best thing for your furry friend.

i know its really hard to get rid of your dog.
we've had to get rid of so many of ours because of the same problems.
and it might be one of the toughest things to do. and you can feel bad.
but in the end its the best thing for your dog.
he/she can go to a home where they get more attention and more exercise. (being able to go outside on a leash).
sorry if thats not really what you wanted to hear, but i think its best for the dog, if you let them go to a different family.

I know how you feel. I have a very strong attatchment to my pets too. If you really cant bare to get rid of her, then try to find a dog sitter for the time that you and your family are out of the house. Try getting either a neighbor or a friend to look after her. I hope I helped!
