Halle's Mom
Boxer Pal
I know I may get flamed for this but I am asking for help/advice. My Halle was 2 years old in October. I have been through so much with this dog. I got her 12/02 when she was about 12 weeks old. She has had behavioral problems since I got her. I have had patience with her. I first had an in home trainer come for several weeks to my home. That was $600.00. About a year later I had to kennel her for 2 weeks while I was out of town. I had a trainer that worked there work with her for those 2 weeks plus an additional 2 weeks while she was there. That was $500.00. Neither of those did any good. She is house trained but she still jumps on people and pees when strangers pet her. I don't care about any of that or her other problems. She is my child and I love her no matter what other people say about her...and they all say I need to get rid of her. During the day while I work she is outside in a large 10 foot by 10 foot kennel, then when I get home at 5:30 PM she comes inside with me and sleeps in my bed etc. She is my baby literally.
I am going into the police academy in April and have to move home with my parents to afford it. They do not want her in their home but I begged and said I would take her to a doggie daycare while I'm in school and then I'd be home with her at night, even though I so do not have money for that, I'd charge it.
So I come home from work today and find Halle on my front screen porch. The little girls from across the street come running over saying "Halle got out! Halle got out!" First I can't believe she got out, second I can't believe they actually caught her!
So my situation is, I am at my wit's end. I feel like I have tried everything with her and have gone above and beyond, and in the end, I am apparently just not able to provide her with the home she needs. I was looking for friends or relatives who would take her for me for the 6 months I would be in the academy, but now I think I just need to find her a good permanent home.
So I am asking you guys' opinions or if there is anyone out there who might want to take the most wonderful thing in my life for me. Yes I am crying as I type this and as I watch her sleeping on my bed from the exhaustion of her day. Thanks for reading this, Christina
