This is going to sound harsh but I think you should stop with the animals. At first it was the beagle your roommate bought home and had puppies, you were going to keep the mom but didn't, then you were going to keep a puppy but back in march posted that due to circumstances couldn't…and yet with all these "circumstances" with the ones you didn't keep you got another one...and poor Nikita, having been from home to home! I understand and can sympathize with losing a job but I can't help but feel you've had a lot of dogs IN and OUT in the past year. You've said this I the first dog you've had to give up but your previous posts indicate (as Ive said before) that you wanted to sell the puppy you were going to keep and then couldn't. All I'm saying is you should focus more on stabilizing your life from all these circumstances rather than getting another dog, not keeping it then a few months later getting another
Just so others dont think I'm intentionally trying to sound mean this is a quote from one of your posts after the mom beagle and before Nikita:
"I really dont have time for her anymore and feel bad crating her a lot. I have yet to find the perfect home for her. "
I can't undertand getting Nikita after you've publicly posted this...
