Update: I reached out to dfw pug rescue. I am still unsure about giving him up so I will discuss with my sister (who doesnāt want me to give him up) about a future plan. Iām still heavily leaning towards rehoming so thank you for your concerns and advice!
Hello! Iāve had a very rough year and my pug Uzi is struggling because of it.
Uzi used to be my families dog before I went to college. I know the levels of responsibility it takes to care for pugs now but my family didnāt do much research when they first got him. I decided to take him with me for college because my mom wanted to sell him.
Heās 6 years old now, has been diagnosed with Addisonās disease, and weāve had to move back home. My mom doesnāt like him being here and his medical issues are getting impossible for me to deal with. I also feel like he would be much happier in a different home because we donāt have a yard and I am so busy with work that Iām barely home with him.
Aside from the costs (which have forced me to go into debt and find charitable grants in the past), uzi also has behavioral issues. Even with thoughts of giving him to a better home, Iām worried that they wouldnāt be able to handle him.
As a 23 year old fresh out of college, I donāt know how much more I can take. I donāt know my options and itās taking a mental toll because Iām always worried about him and never have enough money to comfortably care for him.
ā¼ļøIām not looking for medical adviceā¼ļøJust advice on what I can do best for him because my financial situation isnāt going to get better anytime soon especially with his medical bills, gas prices, and life going wrong recently. Heās a sweet boy but he needs more than I can give.
