Please i need advice now about moving into new house with or without a DOG. HUGE PROBLEMS?

hi we have been renting public housing for 16 years. we got a dog in 2006 who we dearly love and has been with us until now. however, due to circumstances i cannot state, we must move houses very very soon. we cannot afford to purcahse a house so we've been looking at places to rent. we are fortunate enough to find a place in the heart of the city for a cheap price but it does not allow dogs. a few months ago, we searched day and night for rental properties that allowed dogs but no landlords wanted a dog. i love my dog and dont want to seperate with him and my mum is currently living at her boyfriends house and she says she will take the dog to his house (he has a front and back area with no grass), she will take him out in the morning to pee and walks and leave him in the back area which is secure. they also have a shed so when they are not home, they would leave the dog in the back. when they are home, they either let him roam the back area or inside the house. what do u think of this? i dont want to be seperated with my dog but she said i can come visit him whenever i want and my whole family REALLY wants to move places. im surprised im actually giving this a thought because i normally say no straight out if my dog doesnt live with us. but this seems like the only way. what do u think?


please help

I think that is a very good option, the dog is with someone you know very well, has a place to run and not tied up all day, can stay in the house and best of all you can visit anytime.





It's not like you are giving the dog away and never see it again, think of it as your kid who is going to live with you mom for a while until you find a better place.





When you do, you can have your dog back.Please i need advice now about moving into new house with or without a DOG. HUGE PROBLEMS?
I think you should just sneak the dog in. Its just like the landlord is telling someone to leave their husband. You wouldn't do it would you? So just don't tell em


It can just be our little secret


Good luck anyways

I think, if only to give yourself some breathing space, I'd go for the option of moving her to your mum's house. Of course it's far from ideal, (and how I can sympathise/empathise with you over non-dog private rentals) but it will give you time to make a decision about the future for your dog. He will, presumably, know your mum and her b/f so it probably won't be quite as traumatic for him, and it's going to be for you!! I'd caution you about him being left outside when they are ot there - depending on where you are, dogs do get stolen from back gardens, a lot, these days, and if he's upset and lonely, noise might become an issue. Last thing you need is for you to be forced into making a decision you might regret later.





In the long run, it might be that you will have to consider rehoming him, but letting your mum take him, will buy you some time.





Add - whatever you do, do NOT sneak your dog into your new rental situation. It could be that sometime down the road, having built up some sort of relationship with your new landlord, you might be able to talk him into allowing you to bring your dog to your new home. And believe me, creeping round a no-dog/limited number of dogs situation is no fun. I did this when we had to move, to get a property, with dogs, at all - there was a 2-dog restriction and we had 3, the oldest being very elderly but not ready to pts. I absented myself every time we had an inspection (or left them in the car in the garage!! - luckily they were not the noisy sort) but the neighbours obviously knew we had 3 in there, and were in contact with the owner, so chances are she knew about the situation in any case, even if the Agents didn't!! We risked being evicted of course, as you will if you try this. Happily she lived out her days, and we avoided eviction!!
I cannot see that you have a lot more choice.





The only alternative would be for him to go to a shelter, but then you would never know if he got a home, where he is, whether he is looked after, and even whether he has been PTS because they couldn't find a home.





I don't think it is perfect if he is going to be left for long hours, but I think the alternatives are worse, and at least you could see your dog and know that he is ok.
let him go with your mom...most people don't have that oppurtunity and they have to give thier dog to a shelter. your mom sounds nice and seems to treat the dog very well. like i said most people have to give thier dogs up to the pound, your very lucky you have another home for him.
Don't give your beloved dog to your mom's boyfriend if you do not trust him.


~if he is left outside there is a possibility that someone might steal your precious dog





~what if it rains then the dog is left outside or what if he's not being taken care of properly





~are you the one who is going to rent the house or your whole family?





~try asking one of your friends if they can shelter can take care of the dog while you find a place to stay that allows dogs





~does the place you're gonna rent have a front yard or backyard? cant the dog live in a doghouse outside of the house cause if the owner of the landlord dosent want pets inside maybe they can allow if he's outside
