so sorry for all your circumstances

does your area have doggy day care? that would be great for Clancy and will tire him out. goldens do have a lot of energy...

i am assumig you can still drive?

dog walker is an excellent idea as well.

i agree with the other poster about telling your dr. everything that is going on so they are aware and can offer other supportive services.

best of luck, please keep us posted!!!!

@goldensrbest I'm sure it's a very difficult adjustment. Having to move (especially when sizing down), is hard, especially when you had acres of land. You must be missing Clancy a great deal. I know the special bond between dogs and their humans. Take time to decide what's best for you and Clancy; whether it be to have him live with his breeder or remain with you and get a dog walker. I agree, larger dogs need exercise, so that's an important aspect to consider. Is there a Senior Center you can connect with for company and social interactions? I've found that other seniors can be a great referral source as well. Hugs to you. ❤️

Dogs dont care how big their yard is.

What is your physical disability?

Are you able to let him out and back in?

Are you able to play with him?

Is the yard fenced in?

Maybe new neighbirs can help in some daily way people love goldens.

Was thinking about you and the breeder asking at the local HS if there is any local student close to where you live who would be willing to help you out especially if they are required to do community service for graduation,or even a church group could probably find someone willing to help you out.

Bet Clancy doesn't mind the size of the new yard as long as she can be home with you..

Lots of good input here and I hope you find the solution that works best for you and Clancey.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time adjusting to your new situation. So many of us have faced similar circumstances. It's hard to come to terms with forced changes (for whatever reason), especially as we age and have been used to a certain lifestyle for many years.

You have received many suggestions here and I hope circumstances change for you for the better soon. I know how important our pets are for our mental and physical health, so I do hope you can find a way to keep your dear Clancy with you. 🩷

@Estellee

I am so sorry to hear of the challenges you are facing. I do hope and pray that some arrangements can be made for Clancy. I sure hope to hear some good news! Take care.

@goldensrbest

Maybe contact a local church group closer to your house and see if anyone there wants a job dog walking. To find someone, I'd think contacting groups such as Lions Club, etc. They might have some folks who needs the motivation to walk, maybe love dogs, and could help out with yours because they love dogs.

Cast a wide net. I pray there is someone out there who would really fit the bill to help care for your pet, and maybe all three of you would benefit! Many prayers for you! I fully sympathize and wish I could help directly--but I can pray for you!

@goldensrbest. I also was unable to walk my dogs. I got a mobility scooter and found they adjusted easily to walking with me on the scooter. We just rode around our quiet suburban streets. I always carried gel pepper spray with me in case we met a hostile loose dog. Never used it.

You can often pick up used scooters at estate sales or advertise for one needed on NextDoor App.
