My mom has terminal brain cancer. When I moved in with her I was a newly single father of 3 young children and a puppy. I had the time and ability to devote to him. My mom’s condition worsened and I am her full time caregiver. I have not been able to devote the time to Carl that he deserves. He is stuck in a small house and small yard. He loves my mom and unfortunately is so excited to be around her he has caused her to fall. This last fall has been devastating. It is time that Carl have a life he deserves. It is heartbreaking to rehome him but I know it’s what is best for him and my family.
