Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked | Okay here's mo and believe me I'm not happy with this because.
First I live in a college town and happen to live in apt built for college kids. It's not a big place about 8 apt 2b/2b with horse facilities attached. So each apt has 2 students and most have a dog (s). Now these people have classes and where does the dog (s) go during the day... some bark/cry pretty much all day. I'm the lucky one that gets to hear it since I'm retired. Some of the people party all weekend and see their animals a few hours a day maybe. They usually have to get someone else here to take the animal out, if they even do. I feel so sorry that the dogs get stuck inside all day waiting for their owner's to come back.
After seeing how they take care of their horses I'm surprise there isn't colic and problems. The students also have basically 2 horses each, each horse has it's own covered pen approx 24' X 50'. I've seen filthy water tubs that never get cleaned and they might clean the pens once a week if they have time. What happen to horses need cool clean water every day especially during the hot weather. With studying and all the other activities I don't think they need to take on another animal to care for.
So that's my take on this subject.

I think that's highly dependent on the individual. The ones you describe are obviously irresponsible and shouldn't have animals. There are some of us college age people that are responsible to handle animals. I have 2 horses, 2 dogs, and a cockatiel. They're exceptionally well taken care of. I detest partying and have never had more than a couple drinks at a time. I spend my free hours caring for my animals. If OP's daughter is repsonsible and has the time to devote to a dog, then I don't see why not. Most dogs get left at home while their owners are at work since not all of us can come and go as we please or bring them with us. School is no different. Even if she has class from, say 8 to 3, an adult dog should be able to handle that. |

I wasn't originally going to post on this, but appreciate the comments made by cavyrunsbarrels. My daughter is very mature and responsible. Animal welfare is of upmost importance in her life and the lives of her animals. She is fact will be home with her dog more than a person who goes to work each day. She does not party, instead uses her time to study to get good grades. She is not the student described in this senario.
This was a post to locate a dog and I did indeed get several great leads, which is why I turned to the forum in the first place. I thank all who posted positive words both here and through pms. |

Location: Stephenville, TX | I don't have any leads for you, but wanted to THANK YOU for wanting to provide a home for an adult dog as opposed to a puppy  So many great dogs are overlooked because they're not cute, fluffy little babies anymore. I think an adult dog is an excellent choice for your daughter at this time in her life also.
If none of the leads you've found work out, be sure to check petfinder.com (I found my adult herding dog on there), rescues (they tend to get a bad rep, but not all of them require extensive paperwork, stringent requirements, home visits, etc) and local shelters. Lots of rescues and shelters have FB pages and post pics and info on available dogs. Good luck!!
