I have a 5 year old lab mix named Carly. She's been in my family for four years. She has all of her vaccinations and is in good health. She was spayed in 2022 when she was about 12-16 months old. Her vet is the Animal Care Center on south Commercial. I have all vaccination records, office visits, etc. I walk her everyday for 30 minutes and I play fetch with her 2-3 times per day. She is in great health. She comes with multiple beds, toys, leashes, collars, food, dishes, everything.
I am a single dad with my daughters living with me 50% of the time. My job is in forestry and on the weeks I don't have my daughters I frequently travel, especially in the summer to fight wildfires. I frequently have to find friends to watch Carly or board her at Pet Village. It is getting to be too much. I I thought I could manage it all - the kids and their school and activities, my job, my house, and my own health and wellness - but I am really struggling to keep it all together. I mistakenly thought I would have a girlfriend or partner by now to help me manage some things. But that didn't happen and I have to adjust.
It is time to find her a new home. My daughters love Carly to pieces and this is going to really upset them. I have been praying for a solution. It would be so wonderful for my kids to see that she is going to another loving home, maybe even saying hi to her once in a while.
She has a nice life here and she's a good dog. But it is clear that something needs to be done. I am stretched too thin. I am a big dog lover and this breaks my heart to know I can't manage having Carly.
