Hi sweetie. I am so sorry you have to make such hard decision. I hate leaving Izzy at home for five hours but she understands that mommy has things she has to do (like make money to buy me toys
) Izzy is trained to a pee pee pad and I also leave food out in the morning for a couple hours, come home for lunch, play with her & feed her, then put her food up until I get home in the evenings. I understand being a full time student because I am one and a full time employee. Put an ad in the local newspaper! I know you don't have alot of money but in the town I live in their are actually ppl who will take your dog for the whole day to different parks and such just because they love animals that much! Good luck sweetie & welcome to yt!
