Should I keep the dog ?

a family friends dog accidentally got pregnant and she was looking to get the puppy’s good homes and get her own dog sorted out at the vets.

ive always wanted a dog and she offered me a puppy for free so I took it. At the moment my house is being renovated and I’m living with my MIL who says she likes the dog but is finding a lot of problems with him.. to be fair he is a bit of a handful and is causing quite a bit of disruption in the house (I know this is to be expected). I have also just found out that this particular breed is very needy and are known as companion dogs who cannot really be left on there own.. at the moment I work from home but am due back to the office soon and my renovations will probably take another 4 months .. I feel like it’s not going to work out but I feel so guilty and stupid for not getting all the facts .. I know I should’ve never taken the puppy.. at the time that I took the puppy my friend did mention there was another family who wanted him ..

do you think I should speak to my friend and see if the other family are still interested in him ?

Yes rehome him whilst he’s young enough to go to someone whose set up to care for him properly. But don’t go back to your friend at least uses responsible rescue centre and reduce this risk of the puppy going to another inappropriate home. Your friend is irresponsible on all levels so please don’t give the pup back to her
