I’m a chronically ill college student and I’ve been researching about owner-training a service dog, and after discussions with an awesome trainer we decided to start searching for prospects from shelters (due to financial stuff). I recently started the foster-to-adopt process with the sweetest 6month lab! I’ve had her for about 3 days (super short, i know) but i’ve just been such an anxious mess and crying all day. When/how do you decided if finding another home would be best? One part of me wants to stick it out for 3 weeks and she how she acclimates but another part of me is already so tired and stressed. I’ve been worried on my end about it messing with sleep (which then causes flare ups) and also some disruptive barking/whining she’s been doing while i live with multiple housemates. I am also worried about not being able to give her enough time with college classes and work and then simultaneously resenting her for causing me to be in my house very frequently. Would love any and all advice!
