Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


I am a 76 year old woman with a 2 year old toy poodle. She has some impulse control and other behavior issues and needs a lot of work. May 30th, my dear friend and roommate died unexpectedly. I rescued her 3 year old chihuahua.Since Mars was only trained on pee pads, was unmanageable on walks, and exhibited growly and snappy behavior as is common to Chihuahuas, I was afraid that she was unadoptable. I did not want her to be killed. Since May, we have made great strides with 2 sessions with a professional trainer and lots of time on my part. This dog is now completely trained to go potty outside. I have also found easy and gentle ways to circumvent her refusals to put on a harness, which had been my major difficulty. And during walks, her behavior of barking at other dogs has improved by at least 75%.
I find it too hard to carry on with the stress and care of two manageable but time and energy intensive dogs. Plus, I have had 2 dog-related loss of balance and falls with 1 injury.
