Excessive Barking

[Pam]

He's not going to stop barking -- he's bored and lonely. Your choices are to rehome him or rehome yourself. Either way, you need to do it immediately because the situation will get worse with your father's resentment of the dog, and his misery of being outside.

And if you chose to rehome him, do not take him to the SPCA or Humane Society since a big dog's chance of being adopted is slim to none. You need to find a home willing to care for him.

I wouldn't want to be in your situation.

Catnapper is absolutely right. I would try my hardest to find him a home on my own and soon. I don't like the impression I am getting of your dad and what he might do. What a horrible situation.

ok thanks guys. i figured giving him to a new home would be best.

I agree with everyone else. You should find him a new home. Dogs need lots of attention and stimulation so that they don't get lonely and bored.

If you see yourself getting another place and quick, I would find him a new home. I hate for any dog to loose his home, but really- he already did by being ostrosized outside..

This is why I might be getting a new dog very soon. Don't know what kind of dog he is (or even if he is a he or a she!) and don't neccasarily care since its my nephew's dog and my BIL won't let him move back home with the dog in tow. So I told my SIL that if he can't find a home for his dog in Florida, to bring him back home to Pennsylvania and we'll take him (or her).

As a young adult living at home with your parents you have to abide by their rules. I know that even in my 30's that if I moved back in with my parents for whatever reasin that I'd have to quickly rehome 5 cats... not that they'd hate my cats, but my mom is seriouslly allergic. Still, the fact remains I'd have to find new homes for my cats in order to live with my parents.

Good luck
