Pepper,
I am no psychiatrist or analyst, and so I won't get involved in the middle of your boyfriend issues. But my goodness, you have done such a noble thing, and it seems like to me that he could be a bit patient while you figure out how to handle this. You say he isn't a dog lover, but you know, and we certainly all know after living through Bourbon's story with you, that you are a dog lover. He needs to be able to deal with this passion of yours, otherwise, you are in for a hard time ahead.

I would go ahead, get the shots, including the Bordatella, so you can expose this dog to your other pets, and start looking for a home for him. Try the newspaper, PetFinders, etc. I frankly hate the idea of the pup being stuck in the garage too. Wish I were closer so I could offer some assistance.
Good Luck to you, Pepper. I sincerely hope that you find a perfect solution for everyone.


Does your vet have any ideas about where he could go temporarally? Like to a foster parent to keep him until a home can be found?
