Hello,
I currently live in North / Central NJ. I recently started having severe mental health issues. I am going to start active treatment and am uncertain how to take care of my five-year-old French bulldog.
I love my Frenchie more than anything but think it is unfair for me to have him in the house if I am having trouble taking care of myself.
The thought of giving him away is making me sick. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about potential foster parents / long-term in house care / etc.
I have looked into long-term boarding but given the cost of my mental health care, I do not think I can afford the daily rate for an extended period of time.
I am truly distraught with the thought of having to give away my Frenchie after 6 years and was wondering if anyone in the community had any recommendations of what I could do / where I could go for help. Just writing this note is making me really upset.
Best,
