Facing a challenge?
Life can offer us unexpected trials and changes, prompting important family decisions. If you are concerned about the future care of your pet, it is best to exhaust all resources before surrendering to a shelter.
There are plenty of apartments, townhouses, condos, and hotels that accept medium and large breeds of dog. Many places will even allow you to spread payment of your pet deposit over multiple months as part of your rent.
The following groups exist to assist people who truly want to keep their pets, but are experiencing financial difficulties. They may be able to help you:
A credit card company for health care:
Help owners that need urgent veterinary care, emergency vet visits or expensive surgery:
Assistance for caretakers of disabled pets: HandicappedPets.com
Registering your dog as an ESA (emotional support animal) will not only improve your mental health, but also, allows you to keep your dog if the HOA/landlord or property owner won't allow dogs because of breed, or size - even if they have a no pet policy!
Your best option is to find a pet sitter!
