Like the others have said if you feel up to it and can do a trial that would be great. I took in Nikki a 15-16 year old rescue male from an elderly friend last February after she went in to a nursing home. I was not looking to bring in a 4th dog, let alone a very elderly male to my 3 females. It was an adjustment at first for me and my girls. Nikki felt right at home from day one. I couldn't let him go back in to rescue at his age. It is more work and more money but it is worth it. My friend (RIP) felt so much better knowing he was with me. Good luck in your decision, you have to do what is right for you. |
