Filling the void?

Question

I need suggestions ladies! We are moving somewhere that doesn't allow pets.. Like not even fish. I have severe anxiety and depression after suffering a head injury last year, and taking care of our fur baby has given me purpose in life. We have to give her up, and I'm afraid once that happens I will just be in a downward spiral. To top it off, because our living situation is changing we have decided to no longer ttc. How do I fill the void without breaking rules or suffering from worse anxiety/depression?

Answer

You could offer to walk or sit a couple of local dogs or cats in the area. This could build up over time. It would really contribute positively to the animals you care for, and the owners will appreciate it. If you develop enough of a relationship with the owners you could care for the animals in their houses, giving you a bit of space and freedom.  Assisting an older person with one animal might be a gentle way to start, given the anxiety.

Answer

You could see about getting your fur baby certified as a service dog for you.  Then they have to allow the pet.

If that's not possible then try volunteering at a rescue or shelter. You can sirens time with the dogs grooming, playing, walking them and it will help you both.
