Hi lovely SS family!
So, I know this is probably a very strange question to ask on here, but I'm wondering about it because I'm considering recovery, and have wanted a furry canine companion for a very long time. I met someone on here who is also in recovery, and we inspire each other daily to try and hang on. He has inspired me to keep on trucking, so I'm going to see how it works out.
Due to my disabilities, I need a dog that is completely trained in basic obedience on and off leash. What I am looking for is an emotional support dog to help me cope with bipolar disorder and all the symptoms that accompany it, like severe depression and anxiety and loneliness and isolation.
I could qualify for a guide dog because of my blindness, but there are so many hoops involved in getting one, and I just don't have the emotional energy to do it. Besides, I don't really NEED a guide dog, I'm more looking for a companion dog that is small in size, like a bichon fries, maltese, havanese, or something of that nature that is even tempered, affectionate, and small enough for me to be able to handle, but not too small that I might crush it if I stepped on it. I need it to be trained enough so I can take it everywhere I go that is dog friendly, which a good deal of places where I live are.
Rescues and the humane societies aren't eager to give me a dog because of my visual impairment. They seem to think that I am incapable of taking care of a dog. I've gotten passed up numerous times when applying for different dogs.
So, if there are any people on here who know how to train dogs, I am willing to pay for you to pick out the dog, socialize it, train it and send it to me once the training is complete. I live in the U.S. I just received a settlement from getting hit by a car, and although it isn't a large settlement, I would be able to commit to three thousand dollars.
Please reply to this post or PM me if you are a dog trainer and are interested in taking on this project. I know I could shop around for trainers who are local in my area, but I thought finding a trainer on here might be a better idea because you will understand my struggles better and can relate a bit, whereas most people can't besides those on here.
I know this question is kind of a longshot and there are possible scammers on here, yadda yadda, but I am a pretty good judge of character and will be able to tell who's legit and hwo isn't by the PM's I receive.
This is how I look at it. I will either find one or I won't. I'm not going to stress, it would just be nice to have a sweet, cuddly furbaby of my very own that I can enjoy life with and not feel so lonely.
Thanks, I hope you all are doing ok.
Warmly,
Cupcake
