Jackie, I hope you find a good home for this dog but, given your
description, you might also consider starting NOW to investigate
foster/rescue in case push comes to shove. Your home doesn't sound like a
good match for this dog, but it *is* a good home. A shelter, even a good
one, would be worse for this dog, I think, not that it sounds like you're
even "going there". I work with foster/rescue groups and can tell you that
the dogs that go through fostering are evaluated very carefully and placed
very carefully. It doesn't take long to bond with a dog and foster families
place every dog as if it was their own!

Also, don't discount the resiliency of a rescued dog. They seem to have a
way of being especially adorable -- they seem to know how to act grateful!
It's hard to give one up or to even see that a potential new situation is a
good one.

Good luck!
