Goodbye *update*

Liv, give it your best shot. It's got to be very tough situation for you. Wishing you well.

-

Aw hun thats so sad.  I'm still pulling for you to be able to work things out.  I'm having a hard time understanding how this could possibly work.  You own the house, but not the land, I get that.  But what could the landowner possibly do?  Make you move your house for having an extra dog?  I mean as long as your dogs aren't causing damage, any judge with half a heart would side with you.  I guess I'm grasping here, but I really don't want you to lose her.[&o]

Nope, I would never give up my dog. I think the idea of rehoming her and getting her in later is your best bet. A small dog like that can be put in a large bag with other stuff and bags and can be sneaked in regardless. Who would know, she's an inside dog. give it a try at least or get a note from someone, anyone saying she is your service dog and has to be with you. I would go to extremes to keep my dogs.

He says he doesn't want to jeopardize our home, and no matter what we are still moving there. I'm really sad, but I don't think theres much else I can do.

 
I don't understand. Isn't marriage supposed to be a partnership? Why does he get the final say?

I wish...my family thinks that I'm animal crazy. I cried when my fish died that i had for 3 years, they laughed, when my hamster died, I cried,  they laughed. They don't see it as any different, a dog is a dog pretty much and I could buy a new one and it would all be better [:@]
I know Dh is sad, but he's made up his mind and he has all our friends and family beside him, my MIL from hell isn't helping either. She calls 10 times a day telling him Missi has to go! If she could have it her way which believe me she tries daily I would have no dogs or any other animal for that matter. He keeps telling me that Missi will be happier with one on one attention, and that she'll be spoiled. Blah I don't care about that, "I" won't be with her. But that doesn't matter either appearntly.  He also says even if we could get away with it, our landlords would hate us and it would cause problems...and he said he's not willing to do that. Missi will probably be gone on friday []

I feel very defeated, I've already made up a care package for Missi so they know all the things I know [][][]

This is so sad---I don't get it either.How can this rule come into play a few days before you move in and why won't one of your family members take her in?Did you ever consider paying extra for the dog?This happened to me years ago,when I first got divorced.My parents were going to watch my dog,but then I offered to give the manager $10.00 extra every month for the dog. That was back in the seventies.It worked--money talks. I got to keep our dog and the kids and I were so happy.Give it a try--don't let others sway you--it's your dog and your feelings.
                                                                                                       GOD HELP YOU.

Liv - If you absolutely feel that you must relinquish your dog, please go visit the home in which she will potentially be residing. The person coming to your home may appear to be well put together, but who knows what their living conditions are like??????? I think you will feel better about the situation knowing what her new living conditions are like, and I wouldn't give the potential new owner time to clean things up. If you have a good meeting with someone, ask to come to their house right then before agreeing to let your beloved pet go. Just a suggestion. My heart breaks for you and your pup. If I were close by I would take her and give her a wonderful, loving home where she would be spoiled and have 2 sisters to love as well. I'm sorry that you are going thru this.

I really feel for your situation.  I've been reading along and I know you said no attorney was needed to sign the papers.  But, if it were me and I wanted to keep the dog for sure I'd definately contact one about what my rights are as far as this situation of them owning the land and you owning the house. 
 
Whatever happens good luck[]

Keep trying. There has to be a person you can talk to that cares. 

Please don't just give up! I know it's hard, and even harder because your husband is not being supportive... but there has to be something you can do! I'm sorry this is happening to you. I couldn't even imagine. [sm=cry.gif]

Board your dog or let him stay at a friends for a month and move into the new house and settle in.  Sneak the dog back in and keep him as a house dog.  You shouldn't get caught unless they have a strict covenant that surveys the neighborhood.  Don't give up the dog cause chances are the owner won't treat them like you do!

You keep saying you don't need a lawyer,how do you know a lawyer couldn't help you out.Naturally the landowner wouldn't want one because maybe he knows he's wrong.In any big purchase an attorney should be involved-if you would have had one, this wouldn't be happening.And your husband should have known better also!PLEASE STICK TO YOUR GUNS!!I don't understand your family or your husband. One thing I learned after my divorce is that you have got to believe in yourself and don't let ANYONE tell you what to do, or you will be pushed around the rest of your life![]

I tried everything[]

I called everyone I knew and everyone said no for some reason or another. I called my older sister and practially begged her, I called my dad and he just plain said no- even though I offered to come by everyday and clean up after her and feed her, I asked my other older sister again (she owns her house and her lot) she said no she was scared of dogs.
Worst part is I can't afford a lawyer and Dh said he doesn't want one and that that is going to far even if we could. So I'm pretty much the only one that wants her. I have no $$ of my own I'm a stay at home mom.  I'm very upset my family wasn't more helpful or supportive [] Right now I couldn't even afford to pay for boarding.  Dh is dead set in his decision though [] I do want to see how this woman lives, she did sound very sweet and asked if she had to fill out an application, maybe I should take her up on that to see what she knows about dog care and her life style.
Anyway I'm tired and my head hurts [], I'll update again when I know more. Thanks again everyone for your advice and support.

I mean no offense when I say this, but it's upsetting that you have no say in the matter and no money of your own.
 
That being said, even if you can't afford a lawyer (which I personally think is just BS from your husband, sorry), you can research. My mother is a landlord to a number of properties in Toronto, also a  lawyer. Because I'm in a different province than you (Ontario) this may not apply. HOWEVER, there is a clause in the tenant act that covers pets. Ie, a landlord may NOT state that pets are not allowed, it is discrimination and not allowed any more than one could state "No Black" or "No Jewish" people. Look into it. Not sure if that applies to you.
 
I understand you're upset and I can understand how sad this is for you. But how can you let this go without a bigger fight? Make a fuss, make a SCENE. Your husband does NOT get the final say in this. We are not in a third world country, you are not a purchased wife. We can all see how much you care about your babies, I know you'll find a way, and I hope you do so in time.
 
Ps, if it matters, this case is so clean cut and straight forward (no statement about pets upon signing) that it wouldn't cost you a lot to get a lawyer in and fight it.
