My boyfriend just adopted a dog from the shelter but it’s his first dog and kind of got her out of impulse. A little backstory: we’ve gone to the shelter multiple times and he always wants to take a dog home but I tell him I don’t think we are ready for one every time because we are no place financially to have a dog. Also since he’s never had a dog, he doesn’t understand the responsibility of what comes with having a dog, despite me telling him. I have had a couple of dogs in the past so I do know the responsibilities and that’s one of the reasons I would tell him we are not ready, because I did not want to take on that much responsibility at this point in time.This last time i felt guilty for always saying no, so out of guilt I said he could get one. We’ve barely had her for 2 days but I’m so upset with the decision and how much responsibility was thrown on me out of no where that I’m not even happy being at his apartment anymore. He says he will talk to the shelter about returning her, should I let him keep her or would she be better off getting returned and fit into a more stable home?
