cant give up my dog

Give up dog

Oh gosh. I would never, ever give up my dogs either, so I know where you're coming from. (Although my dogs are small.)

Have you already moved in? If not, if it were me, I would cancel the lease and look elsewhere if at all possible.

Is the policy about weight limits on dogs listed anywhere at all? If you were not given the information before you signed the lease, and in fact were told that you could have your dog with you, then I think you have a good case to break the lease.

Is your dog well-behaved, quiet, house-broken? You could ask for an exception based on the dog's behaving well.

Is your dog officially a hearing-assistance dog? If so, then you have the right to have it with you. If he barks when someone knocks at the door, that is assistance you need. Maybe you can make a case for him that way.

I would never give up an old dog to someone else. Those are the first dogs to be put down in shelters, because very few people want to adopt an elderly pet. And besides, after all these years, of course you love each other and he is comfortable with you and you with him.

Good luck; do let us know how it turns out.

YES, Beachgirl you covered it all...Yes he is truly a hearing assistance dog and with his age, you should remind the manager what she is asking you to do. Fight for him, protect him, just as I am sure he has for you all these years..I will have you in my prayers, I just this year along with so many other losses had to let my 14 yrs old yellow lab go, I miss him and dream he is still with me..I know what you mean...I Love you Luke..smile..Midnight♥♥♥

to AllDeaf forum. I don't know what to say about the dog who is over 25 lbs. and I hope you can fight for your dog to stay with you. Do what you can do.

All I can say right now is that you enjoy reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here.
