[quote=Anonymous]We have an elderly neighbor with cognitive decline dementia. She has a small dog that over the past few years I’ve found a dozen times when she leaves the door open. The dog will come to me when I call her name, lets me pick her up and likes my dogs.  I met her adult son a year or two ago and we let him know if in the future she couldn’t care for her, we would take her and she could visit.

Her son knocked on my door today and asked if we could take the dog. He is moving his mother into memory care as she can’t safely stay alone anymore. He warned that the dog might be skittish around new people. He brought the dog over. She seemed extremely happy. Played with my dogs throughout the house and backyard. Jumped into my 18 year old daughter’s lap. Tails wagging, everyone happy so I said sure and he is going to bring her over on Saturday when he moves his mother out. He is bringing all the vet paperwork etc. The dog is 12-14 years old Pomeranian mix, I have 2 corgis. DD is thrilled. DH is a dog crazy person so he’s fine with it.

What am I likely to run into or not considering here? Will the dog become depressed when it doesn’t go home to its owner? It’s a very lively and peppy older dog. My dogs are adults but younger 3 and 5. [/quote]
