@SCF, she does, but this past week she has been sick with a cold so I have been doing all the work and now I am drained and sick too.

My family has always been of the mindset that you no matter what happens you just grit your teeth and bear it and efforts to make things better are futile.

Hummer, I could be wrong.. but I am going to toss it out there.. your mom probably doesn't want to rehome because she feels she "made a promise" to the dog...she has "committed" to him... dogs don't sign contracts.. they don't know what a "broken deal" is.. I applaude her for wanting to stick with him.. but if she does NOT enjoy him... it is doing all of you a disservice. Does she walk him and play with him or is it all you?

@SCF, I think that is the best idea because no, she can't handle him on her own.

When I was 17 I thought it was a good idea to adopt a pet with full responsibility. Then he became very ill, and knowing I wasn't prepared financially for the vet bills to insue. So I knew I had to do the right thing and reach out. Unfortunately, my mother was in the same mindset that it was bad or like I was abandoning him. In my naivety, we got in a huge physical altercation and I surrendered him to her. She was unable to afford the vet bills in his serious neurological condition with seizures and he passed away. I have many regrets in that situation

Hummer are you able to stop helping with him? That would be my first step if she is dead set on not rehoming

Maybe what your mom needs is a little lap yapper who isn't as high energy but still has whatever qualities she wants in a dog

Hummer, remind her of that.. that if he is difficult now while you are there to help.. will she be able to handle him on her own without you..

Absolutely, Gibbs!

@SCF, thanks so much. I think you summarized it very well. I will definitely bring it up with my Mom again. Ultimately, the decision is hers though because she is the one paying for him and will be responsible for him when I move out in a few years.

I agree, Gibbs

Hummer, You have been debating this for quite a while now.. I think in your heart of hearts you know what the best solution is and that is to rehome. You sound like you are much more of a practical person than your mom. But keeping a dog just so you don't "break his heart" isn't a good reason. He is a dog.. he will love the next person who gives him treats and plays ball... you both are clearly miserable and stressed out over him. I would maybe check with your vets office and see if anyone would be interested in him. It doesn't make him a "bad dog" it just isn't the "right dog" for your family.. but his family IS out there!!

Why should the humans have to suffer to make the dog happy? When other humans would be happy to keep up with him? Sometimes pets just don't fit the situation.
