Not nearly as big a deal but I haven't bonded with my dog. I got her, trained her, she's great, she loves me to pieces, but I don't actually find joy from her or care about her beyond moral obligation. There's not really any other option than just living with her until she does of old age, since she loves me a lot and adopting her out would be cruel.
- jetti 6y agoHow old is the dog? If she isn't already rather old then I wouldn't worry too much about trying to re-home her. We had to re-home one of our dogs when my son was born because the dog didn't adjust and actually bit my son. We had had the dog since she was about 10 weeks old and she was 4 years old when we re-homed her. We took our time and made sure to find somebody we felt would be a good fit and when we did we had the woman come meet the dog before she took her (the day before the 'adoption' day). I was really worried about how the dog would react because she was attached to my hip but as I watched the video of her leaving with the woman (we weren't home when the woman took the dog, we had a relative there because it was too hard for my wife and I) from my Ring camera the dog was wagging her tail and excited. We have gotten pics and videos since and the dog is super happy and just overall having a good life.
