I appreciate all of the suggestions from you's but golly gee now that I think of it this post might be worthless.
This is something that my Uncle & I have been looking into for a month now. We have tried just about every option there is.
JOYCENALEX:
I have been searching for a good vet in my area for a little over a year now. I've tried all 3 in my area, none of which I am very happy with, but this one is the best out of my options. They board there but only short term, the only other kennels in my area are a half hour away from me & my uncle. They don't really want to board long term, especially seeing as there is no set date as to when he will be able to have her back. If she were to be kenneled at one of the kennels, because of the location and hours we would only be able to visit maybe once a week each.
I'm not sure how good me visiting her would do as I have never even seen this dog before.
As far as her housetraining issues go, it's not that she leaks, she just goes. And although sometimes it is urine, it is mainly #2 that she has problems with.
And I do have other family members who are ferret knowledgable, my mother & brother. And if you knew my uncle, well he's a great guy, nice & all but kind of old fashioned I guess you'd call it, I would not want him caring for my animals.
I guess I could gate off my bathroom, BUT he says the dog goes nuts when confined in small areas. I'm not sure about a room, but crates & the such freak her out a LOT. And if she has that high of a prey drive, there is a good chance she could break or chew through the gate/door frame. My door frame is not really set up for a gate, we'd have to screw it right onto my wall if we were to go that route, then I'd have to unscrew it to shut my bathroom door. That would be a major pain in the butt.
FINN'S MOM:
If I had someone to room with me I would of done it 2 years ago. I could always use the extra income. So the answer to that sadly to say is no.
And the fact that I don't want my Uncle to live with me is because of the fact that the amount of time he would stay is unkown & I am busy. It is semi personal as my b/f sleeps over sometimes. And he has a job already but that is near my dad. And last but not least even if he did stay with me, we'd be in the same boat cause he would be gone for most of the day too. (he has a fenced in yard for her with a doggy door where he lives in florida now so she can go out whenever she wants to).
We have already checked with ALL of our friends & relatives in his area now in Florida & up here in my area where he is moving to. No one is willing to take in the dog for some reason or another, but mostly because of her problems.
Its sad to say but the dog does not have too much time left and she does not deserve to leave him early nor be in a kennel for this short time she has left.
Sad to say but we have no clue what to do with the dog if he can't find anyone else to watch her. I'm guessing since he has to do something with her, that if we can't find anyone she will either be PTS or given to a shelter.
And yes, I've already looked into the shelters near me, all will most likely put her to sleep because of her condition. And all of the no kill shelters are either full, or almost full to the point they are only accepting younger, more adopltable dogs.
Right now this a no win situation. It stinks.
