Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Give it time. You BF may come around. Especially if you keep bringing him home on the weekends to play. They become staples of a household so fast and special needs dogs really have a way of digging into your heart. Especially when you see them starting to thrive under your care and attention. It's sad when an owner just doesn't care to do what is needed for the dog that they chose but at least he's getting what he needs now. He looks like a splash coat. _________________ |

| I tried to bring him home again this weekend, but then realized we're busy this weekend. I'm going to keep working on him and hope he eventually caves in haha. The first night after I took him back, my boyfriend told me that he missed him already, but he just isn't ready for the responsibility of two dogs yet. The previous owner didn't seem to care much for Wiz, but all of the guys kids loved him so much. It's a terrible thing on him, but at least he surrendered him to us rather than taken him to a shelter where no one knew his history or treatment plan. |

| Tell your boyfriend he's just being an old curmudgeon! From those pictures those two pups were meant to be together.

| Go easy with it and let him make the decision. Stick to play dates and weekends. Don't push the topic, let him make the decision. Seriously. I speak from experience.
My wife brought home a dog from the shelter as a birthday present for herself. There was no discussion before hand and she used guilt trips and sob stories to coerce my acceptance.
The new dog was an escape artist. He got picked up by the pound a couple times. He was noisy. He got a couple noise complaints from neighbors. He wasn't exactly on the best of terms with our existing dog, so fights were common. Finances were tight and extra vet bills, food, crates, toys, etc were putting us in a tight position.
The dog did not help our relationship at all. And the way she went about getting him didn't help matters.
I love the dog now, in fact I always did, but he was a sore spot in our relationship for years. Bringing a high needs dog into a relationship where both parties are not 100% on board is a recipe for disaster. Give him time to come to come around, or to see if he comes around at all. Then be a good partner and devil's advocate the opposite opinion just to make sure that he's not caving to your desire. Then the new dog will be a great addition to a strong relationship and family instead of a burden that can weaken what was a strong foundation. |

| Oh yeah I'm definitely not forcing him to take Wiz on because I know I'm not home enough to help him out with him and it would be more his responsibility than mine, so it wouldn't be fair to do that to him. It wouldn't be a financial thing for him but it would be a lot more responsibility than he wants. I'll respect any decision he has on the matter because I don't want to cause issues by not consulting him and him not wanting it. He won't cave in just for me and I know that for fact haha. It took him a while to finally be ready for our current pup and I didn't force her on him or anything. I'm completely aware of the issues it could cause if I wen against him and honestly it's not worth it in the long run. Hopefully playdates and caring for him over some weekends will make him think otherwise, but if not I totally understand why he wouldn't agree to a second dog full time. |

| Perhaps if you approach it as a fostering situation your BF might have more time (without a full commitment) to determine if he would be willing to adopt.
I wish you the best of luck. He looks like a great boy. Hopefully he finds a great home. The first one gave up on him, shame on them. I can't understand some pet owners. As I tell my wife. One man's "garbage" can be another man's priceless treasure.
All the best. |

| Bringing the dog home when you have the time is excellent for the dog and for your BF. The fostering is a good idea or at least maybe fostering every weekend kind of |
