My name is Jacob. Over the past year I have struggled with homelessness and I have been bouncing between places. My dog above has also been with me. His name is Jeager. Unfortunately I have to move again to my brother's, and I can't take him with me. I have been staying at my moms place since August but she lives in assisted living and I have been putting her at risk. I have no friends that are in a position to take him and all the shelters nearby are full. He does have anxiety that makes him lash out but he is not an aggressive or a bad dog. I love hime than anything and I wish I didn't have to get rid of him but evertime I try to get back on my feet I get pushed back down. The savings I had I went through so I can't afford a down payment for an apartment.
I really wish I didn't have to get rid of him. But I have no choice.
tl;dr Homeless man can't keep dog after moving in with brother. Has to get rid of him need help

This kind of post hits me right in the heart. I hope someone who can help sees this! Wish I could do more. You're good people, OP.

My cats would not forgive me if I adopted a dog, but if I did, it would be one like this! He has the sweetest face! Needs scritches.
ptrickay
Man I wish we could take him. We have one named Ozzie who looks so much like him.

Any update on this? I can't stop thinking about it. I was SO CLOSE to losing my cats once, but miraculously got a job in the nick of time.

Thank you!!!
ScruffyHerderOfNerfs
I dm’d you about him. I was formerly homeless and hopeless and lost my boy because of it. My life is completely changed now (home, wife, job
ScruffyHerderOfNerfs
and I feel it deep in my heart to help you and him. Regret over losing my boy because of homelessness is a heavy heavy weight I still carry
ScruffyHerderOfNerfs
and giving him love and a good home is the least I could do to help mitigate you feeling the same. Get back to me and please.. don’t give up

Upload them to your Imgur account, then paste into a comment a link to the post of photos.

I would, but I live at the top of Ohio and no way could I make it down anytime in the near future. Will ask friends south of me though
colt64
Fuck, if I was anywhere close I'd be on my way already. He could be my old boy's little brother, they'd have so much fun together ?

(2) but good luck. I really hope things turn around. Also feel free to DM if you need to talk to someone or vent or anything
DirtyDickWizard
Thank you that means a lot to me.

Do you ship internationally? I'd take him if I could.
jarquebera
When is the date he can't be with you any more? I'm in southern Indiana but I have plans this weekend I can't postpone.
mrslurtz
Shared to cincy people, will dm if anything comes up. Hoping a foster,he is your dog and homeless shouldn’t prevent you from having him.
ICheckUsernameAndSuch
Are you familiar with the HART rescue? They're in Cincinnati and do fosters (only, afaik). Could be a good resource. I've adopted through ½

We should start our own social media. With blackjack and hookers.
