I’m sorry if this isn’t allowed but I wasn’t really sure where else to ask. I originally had a female Dalmatian. Last March she got pregnant and gave birth to a healthy litter of 7 puppies. My then fiancé (now husband) and I each picked one out of the litter to keep a girl and a boy respectively. The rest we found good quality homes for. Outside of one which my brother and sister in law were going to welcome into their home before her father unexpectedly passed away and they decided it wasn’t a good time for them to welcome a third dog into their home, and so I decided to keep the third puppy (also a female). Now here is my dilemma my brother has a friend who recently had some drastic life changes and spent some time “homeless”. He recently met all 4 of my dogs and is trying to get me to let him “buy” the puppy my brother couldn’t take. I feel uncomfortable about it for numerous reasons although mainly Im worried about the puppy adjusting to living in a new home. She is between 10-11 months now and has lived her whole life with her mama and her two littermates and I’m not confident that she will thrive being separated from them after so long. My husband is entertaining the idea currently but I’m pretty much opposed to it entirely. I can’t lie and say a part of my concern is her having a stable home life and I’m not confident he can provide that either considering his prior living situation. I understand how a dog can help immensely when you are in a bad place but I also don’t want my baby girl to suffer either. I’m hoping you guys can provide me with some advice on how you would handle the situation.
