>>I am in a real bind.  I found a wonderful dog two weeks ago on my way
to 
work.  She was abandoned and tied to a monument in Washington Heights. 
My 
parents have been keeping her in their house for the last two weeks, but
as 
she has been getting healthier, she has been developing some real
separation 
  anxiety.  She was in bad shape when I found her - very thin and her
nails 
had grown all the way around her paws.  Her name is Laurel and she is a 
boxer/pitbull mix.  She is completely non-aggressive.  The veterinarian
said 
the same.  She is great with kids (she plays with my nieces) and other
dogs. 
  Now that she is feeling better, she won't let my parents leave.  She
has 
already jumped out of the window once after she clawed through the screen
to 
follow my parents.  Then, she wrecked the woodwork around the window once
it 
was locked.  My parents have a small dog already who does not like her. 
It 
is getting too much for them  to handle.  She loves playing with my large

dogs when they take her to visit me and she doesn't have a mean bone in
her 
body.  She loves when people are home, but cannot handle being alone.  It

makes her so unhappy.  Do you know any homebound people with caretakers
or 
someone with a lot of property and other dogs?  She is not fully
housebroken 
in that she pees when she is stressed.  She gets stressed when she is
alone, 
but she would probably be great on a farm setting with other dogs to play

with.  She has been through so much and really deserves a home that's
right 
for her. I'm desperate. Let me know asap.  We will most likely have to 
euthanize her if she is living in such misery and can not be adopted to
the right 
setting.
Hope you can help. Julie
