My dog has seperation axiety. I lost my house and now he is an outside dog. He will get out of his kennel and out of the yard. Now he is stuck in the garage in a cage. We are going to be living in an apartment and can not bring him with he is a shepard mix breed. I don't want to take him to the shelter. I am scared that no one will take him in, or something will happen to him. I have been thhinking about putting him down but i don't want to do that either. I don't have much time left i want to do what is best for him but not sure wht that could be. Please help!

Don't put him down!....Taking him to a shelter or humane society would be much better for the dog. At least that way he will have a chance at living a happy healthy life with a loving family. You could also call as many family and friends as you can and see if they would take him. You could also put an add in the newspaper and have family or friends watch him until you find a more permanent home for him. Don't have him put down though if he's not ill or aggressive. Good Luck!

Think about it. He has a better chance at the shelter than if you put him down, as putting him down leaves no option. Better still you might look for a shepard rescue society and ask their help. Or put an ad in the paper for someone who might want him. A well behaved trained dog doesn't need to be put down just because you can't keep him. Life is preciuos, find him a new home. You know you can and he deserves it.

One thing to do is to put ads up in tons of stores and put an ad in the newspaper that he is free to a good home. Also you could search around for a humane society that has space available. The best thing for him would be to go to someone you know so that they could either keep him just for a while, and if they kept him for good then you could visit him whenever you want and you'd be sure he was taken care of. If you're able to get him a home by putting up ads, you could always keep each others numbers when you find him a home so you can go back and check on him from time to time and so they can always call you if they can't keep him any more. Good luck.

You cannot put your dog down just because you can't take him with you!!! Shame on you for even thinking that! Take him to a humane shelter where they do not put dogs down. They WILL find a home for him.

Take him to the shelter before you put him to sleep. That's not right. He has a right to live as long as possible.

Please dont put him to sleep, put an ad in the paper and sneak him inside until you can find him a good home. I would try to find a friend to keep him temporarily and look for a new place where pets are allowed. Anything but killing him!!!

Try consulting a dog behaviorist, or if that is not an option try finding a no kill shelter in your area.

Call a rescue group. Please do not have him put down. Find a rescue that will take him in until they can find him a wonderful home. Sorry about your circumstances. Please don't punish the dog tho. Hope everything goes well for both of you.
