[quote=Anonymous]I love my dog, but he is a handful. He has major anxiety and can not be taken to a vet unless I am with him, cannot handle the groomers, etc. When I have tried leaving him with friends, he dumps all over their house due to being scared. He has been prescribed a lot of medication and it does take the edge off, but he would still be considered a difficult dog.

Still, I love this dog. He's great for me. The problem is he is only great for me.

I had surgery last year and the recovery was miserable as the dog couldn't be boarded anywhere and he was creating havoc for others. People were trying to help, but it was a stressful situation for everyone- including the dog. We survived, yay. And now I need another surgery. Are you kidding me??

Recovery this time will include 4 weeks of non weight-bearing followed by more recovery time. I have really thought through things, and I don't see an option but to surrender him.

How do I surrender a dog like this? I can't just give him to a friend cause to be honest they won't be my friend for very long after they deal with his temperament. Do I just make an appt with the county shelter and just give him to them? Any other ideas? Time is important as the surgery is scheduled for early April.

Thank you for your help. I'm crying as I write this post but also pretty decided that this is my only option, so be kind. [/quote]
