Answer
Hi Phillip,


I'm in America but I can offer some insight, if you don't mind.

First: When you got the dog, did you check with everyone, including landlord, house mates, etc if you can have a dog?

Contact the person you got him from, see if they can hold him until you get your new place OR contact your vet and check for boarding places. To board he should be current on ALL his shots as it is very dangerous for puppies under 6 month of age to contract illnesses which are often deadly or devastating on it's health.

Dogs are pack members, it is very wise to always make sure to be ready for a puppy/dog. In America the amount of homeless dogs is staggering and sad. Impulsive decisions, especially if puppies/dogs are offered for free, are often made without putting into consideration: Time for raising the dog, paying for training (Often self-training causes more harm than good and trainers are there to teach owners how to communicate/exercise dogs the right way), vet costs, emergency funds, proper diet (Cheap food leads often to on-going health issues like allergies, etc) etc.


I wish you good luck %26 hopefully everything will work out for the best!!
