I am 19 years old and my parents gave away our dog to the animal shelter. saying he found her in the parking lot, and I feel so bad and my friend is allowing me to keep it at her place until we find her a home. I just need to know how much would it cost to get her out of the animal shelter, and what do they need from me? I have all the papers, such as vaccinations and license but they are under my dad’s name but I do have a receipt of when I took her grooming it says her name on it and mine. Will they give me a hard time? My parents don’t know about this because they won’t let me. It’s the animal shelter in San Diego, Ca. and she’s been there for 3 weeks now and no adoptions, I have been checking the website like 2 times a day. I went and visited her and she was going crazy barking and crying and jumping up and down, I care about her a lot and I just want to find her a home before they euthanize her

Also, how long do they keep them before euthanizing them?
My Parents cannot find out about this, will they call them?

Why is it that everyone here in the U.S. wants animals to have rights, but they deny human beings the right to free medical care based on citizen status. It makes no sense. Kill a dog you get life in prison. Kill a black human being maybe 2 years in jail.

My sister is a U.S. citizen, but she can’t get health insurance because my parents are out of work and she’s a minor. Also my parents are legal immigrants to this country and do not qualitfy for benefits like free medical or dental. So my sister is left to fend for herself. How sick is that?

Where have our human rights gone?
I meant to say *qualify
Wait a minute when did I bring race into this?
I’m wondering as a U.S. where our Human Rights have gone. Why is it that a dog can get treated for a cold, but if a human being has no insurance their S.O.L.

My parents will only allow me to get another dog if I don’t get it a license (they are anti-license, they think it’s a form of government control). I was hoping to adopt from a shelter, but I guess I’ll have to find a puppy/dog somewhere else.
Yes, we have driver’s licenses and they have a marriage license. County/City government is still the goverment. They believe that no one has the right to tell us how many animals we can keep. They are cared for very well, they just aren’t registered.

Ok I’m trying to get my parents to let me get a rabbit. But they’re dead set against it.
I’m doing my homework on them, to see how to look after them and all the costs so I can go back to them with all the information to try and change their minds.

If they change their minds, I plan on saving up and getting the money together myself so I can pay for the rabbit, cage etc.

I live in Scotland, and I was wondering if anyone knew how much the vaccinations generally cost? And how much does it generally cost to get them neutered?(Preferably a male as I hear male rabbits make better pets)

If I was to get one, the rabbit would probably be indoors.

Thanks I appreciate any answers.

I’m 20 yrs old attending college. I have aspirations to own my own business, preferably a little boutique, or perhaps an online business. I currently live with my boyfriend of two years. We have steady income, a nice 2 bedroom apartment (the other bedroom is an office), health insurance, life insurance, and 2 beautiful dogs (I call them my babies) We have two vehicles. He works and I go to school. We are completely dependant on each other, and do not rely on anyone else for support. We’re practically married, and yet we’re not. Partially because I’m not ready for that commitment right now, going to school and all. Mostly because I’m positive people would look negatively at me marrying at such a young age. I’m responsible, taking my birth control pills, and yet every month I wish they would fail and I would get pregnant. Realistically, I know I could handle the pressure and raise a child at this point in my life, However, I know 20 is just not a "good" age to get pregnant at. (and I know how negatively it would affect other peoples views of me, being pregnant at 20 and not married.) I know my parents are practically expecting me to get pregnant anytime now, with me living with my boyfriend. Anytime I’m nauseous its immediately take a test! you might be pregnant!" Is this just typical hormones telling my body I’m ready to be a mother or is this just a lack of excitement in my life wanting something new? Has anyone else had this feeling? What do you think about the situation?
Its not him about the commitment. Honestlly hes asked me, but I have said to wait until after I graduate. Maybe I would like to be married, but thats a choice I make. "accidently" becoming pregnant is a choice I cant make, thus making it look like im NOT an idiot getting married while im in college.
See answer number 8. Thats exactly what my brain keeps telling me. "common sense". The feelings of wanting to get pregnant is overpowering and yet I think in my head "what AM I thinking! Im only 20!". Its just a battle between what I know & feel.
ps. I tried telling my grandparents I was going to get married to my boyfriend, and they told me, "not to him! hes an idiot! and you’re too young to get married anyways. finish school first, find yourself a better boyfriend!". My boyfriend dropped out of college, and is working as a maintenance worker. Obviously, they think I can do better. Me personally, am happy with our situation, and although hes not "educated" and he wont be "rich", he’s still a good lover.

Do you need a license to train basic dog obedience skills in Utah? I’m 14 and I love, i mean I absolutely LOVE, to work with dogs and train them.
Thing is, I want to earn money to adopt this dog, she herself is free but my parents don’t have the money but say if they did we would take her in. I need a way to earn money and dog training popped into my head at once.
The only problem is:
Do I need a license to teach basic dog obedience?
If so how do I get one?
If not, do you have any business names?
I need something along the lines of… Well anything that goes with training dogs. I want it to be some thing that will catch their eyes though, not just "anna’s dog obedience classes…"
I’m going to do one on one training with the dog also, so…
If you think I should not do this or I am legally, to young to achieve this, what else could I do?
I can’t walk dogs because everyone around here just lets their dogs roam loose anyways so it would make no difference.
THANK YOU =)

I’m currently 19 and a sophomore in college (just transferred to another college). I have a dog but he doesn’t live with me. I was planning on having him live with me next year.

Last night my parents told me that if I take him with me before I’m at least a Senior in college, that I better get my own place and my own health insurance. They are afraid that having a dog will close me off from some opportunities, and disallow me from having friends/lasting friendships.

I don’t even know how to react. The decision they’re really making me make is "who do you love more". It’s a no brainer, I want my dog, and he doesn’t make me choose, however I can’t manage my own health insurance, especially since I have a narrowing esophagus, and am going to need procedures to scope it out and fix it.

I know that my parents aren’t bluffing, and I already have permission from the lady currently keeping my dog that he can stay there until I take him. I just don’t know what other options I have or what I can do, and I can’t believe that my parents would use health insurance as a bargaining chip.

I’m really just looking for feedback, ideas, and any inspirational/motivational things that might help me feel better.

I plan to see how my first semester goes, and re-talk to my parents after to try to change their minds. It seems impossible right now.
Cistes: I was at a very large university, but still maintained above a C average for grades. I’m transferring to a smaller school, which is where I thrive, yet they are doubting me before I’ve even started classes there.
I Don’t Bark: I’m majoring in animal science with a minor in music. I plan to own and operate my own dog training facility, and I already have a job close to my hometown once I get out of school and am certified.
Regal Thai: I live at school, not at home. It sounded like you were saying I live at home.

Hi Im 13 and i have done quite a bit of riding. I would really like a horse but at the moment i cant really afford it. My parents say i can get a horse if i pay for it and the keep. they would pay about £20-£30 a week as well. I would like to know how much money is a good amount of money to have per week? On grass livery and unshod because i think its more natural.
The second part of the question is no of my friends hasnt been riding as long as me and isnt as experienced. She now says she is buying a horse in two weeks. She says she has £15 from her job and a sharer will pay £20. I said £35 per week isnt enough to pay for a horse and she got all annoyed saying i was jelous( which i am a bit ) and being rube and insulting me.She also said you pay insurance yearly.(is that right i thought it was monthly) What should i do.
P.S i am also very competative so i feel like im in a compatition with her to get a horse first, silly I know.

I am staying with my parents while I am hunting for a house and I have a cat. Today my mom’s cat was diagnosed with feline leukemia and I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it could be transmitted without any type of sexual contact. Her cat is about 5 months old and a female. She probably contracted it at birth from her mother. Mt cat is male and 5 years old but is fixed so i don’t think they will have sexual contact. My mom didn’t think to ask if my cat could get it. Does anyone know if it can be transmitted other ways?
