My gf and I raised a dog together. We broke up and are no longer in contact and the dog has been living with me.
Initially, it was tough managing on my own but over time I have managed to adapt pretty well and all was good. I spent much of my free time and a large chunk of my salary every month spoiling the dog rotten.
Recently the dog developed severe health complications and I am feeling very overwhelmed. Given my work situation and as a single who lives alone, I feel I am not doing the dog justice and cannot provide the dog with the time and care she needs. I have thought about finding her a better home but the guilt just overwhelms me even though I know this will be better for both the dog and myself.
I am not willing to give her up to a rehoming centre or a kennel. I will only give her up if I can find her a better home, which is not easy.
What should I do?
