As a person who is involved in dog rescue I can tell you that I hear all kinds of excuses from poeple wanting to give up their dogs, most of them lies. At least the original poster was honest however
that is all the credit I can give her. To consider giving up a member of your family or worse yet banishing it to a life alone outdoors because it sheds is unbelievable. Really, how shallow can one be caring more about how your house looks than the animal you brought into it. Sorry, but you will not get any sympathy from me. When I first started fostering years ago my husband wasn't crazy about the idea but he loves me and knows how important this was to me. He has adjusted and is now proud to tell people that WE rescue dogs.
Please just rehome this dog and give it a chance of a life with a family who will love it hair and all.
