Are you going to leave it in the dorm room when you go to class? Do you have a job? I can't see a college kid, living in a dorm, going to class and possibly a job, not to mention going out with friends (which is a HUGE part of college life) and having time to train and care for a new baby puppy.
Most dorms have pretty strict rules about what they do and don't allow. My daughter's dorm won't even allow you to hang a poster on the wall unless you use double stick tape and even then, if there's any damage to the paint, you pay for it. I have NEVER heard of a college dorm that allows dogs? Can you imagine the chaos of dogs and college kids in a dorm environment, with dogs running all over, barking, pooping and peeing, etc? It just sounds like a disaster to me.
Not to be harsh, I'm just trying to understand.  |
Valid points! the thing is that if this person is NOT allowed to have a dog and brings one into the a dorm, chances are high that it is not going to turn out well for the dog.
My Suzi is not much of a barker, however, she does BARK when she hears strange noises and alerts us to anyone who is walking near our apartment complex no matter what time it is. If you are not suppose to have a dog, and get one anyway, and then the dog does bark too much , what will happen to your precious Yorkie?
IMO, it would be wise for you to wait until after you are done with college, or when you are not living in a dorm. I think it it too risky to bring in a puppy to a dorm life.
