Challenging Decisions

Currently I’m having to make difficult decisions that revolve around my grandma. We found out she has aggressive lymphoma and as 50/50 chance of chemo treatment. My grandma needs 24/7 care at this point. Becoming a caregiver again was that last thing I wanted to do.

I have a dog with severe separation anxiety that we adopted 3 months ago. She becomes destructive when left alone even on medications. I’ve tried training and she can’t be crated without freaking out more.

I have to make a challenging decision whether or not to surrender her back to the shelter I adopted her from. I’m started college full time in August and my grandma is starting chemo next week. Things are getting too complicated to balance a dog with severe anxiety, college, work, and grandmas cancer treatments. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m a bad person for having to take a dog back to a shelter.
