My parents hate animals but to make my life complete, i need a puppy...what should i do?

Answers:
go play with them at the pet store or animal shelter.
go to a friend's house that has a dog.
because you won't be able to take the dog to college
and your parents will get stuck with it.
ifyou can move out and get your own pet-friendly apartment then you can get a puppy. if you are still financially dependent on parents then you can't get one of your own. start saving your money for when you can move out.

Having a puppy in the house is asking a lot of everyone, maybe you can compromise and ask for a hamster or something else that is smaller and can be easily confined to your room?

bother them till they get tired

If you live with your parents and they say no, you should probably not get a dog. Although when I was a teenager I would bring home pets and say (oooh its just till we find it a better home!!! lol six years later we still have the same pets)! That worked greaat for me!

Show that you are very responsible by taking care of the house ect.You can also show by trying to buy a puppy of your own saving you money and also getting a job.

If you are old enough and want a dog, the best thing would be to move out of your parents house. If you are still in school, then abide by your parents rules and wait until you can have a pup when you move out. There is absolutely no reason for you to get a dog for it to end up in the pound, there are too many there already.
Also, if you want to be around dog's but cannot have one of your own, why don't you advertise locally as a dog walker/sitter, or volunteer at your local Human Society? There are alot of options for you if you cannot have a dog at this time.

Unless you can reason with your parents, it doesn't appear that while you're a kid you will have a puppy. But, shelters all always looking for people to play with, walk, take care of and love the puppies and dogs who are waiting in cages to be adopted. You could make their lives richer while they wait. Find a rescue which is sometimes done at the rescuer's home, they need lots of help as they do this out of the kindness of their hearts. You may be able to feel more complete loving %26 helping these puppies.

volunteer with a dog rescue orginization in your area, show your parents how much dogs mean to you and how well you can take care of one. But most importantly, don't push the issue

Get your own place and pay the pet deposit.

Well I would have to follow your parents wishes. They rule the household and as long as you're living under their roof. You have to follow their rules. I have been in the same situation at one time or another. It isn't fair to the pet to deal with people who don't care for animals. Dogs especially require alot of care. What if you decide to go out of town? I guess you can take your dog with you.


I was living with my parents and as soon as I moved out on my own I got myself a Bulldog. Maybe your parents were never around animals or when they were kids they were forced to clean after spot because of doing his business.

Why do you need a puppy?

I told teenagers that want babies to get a puppy
