I have to find Simon a new home. :-(

My fiance is allergic to my lovable corgi, Simon. He's having bad asthma attacks when he comes over. I feel so bad because I'm not Simon's first home. I took him from a lady at work who was going through a divorce a year ago. Simon (whose name at the time was Clyde) was separated from his sister Bonnie.

I'm heartbroken that he might be leaving my home soon. My cocker spaniel Sophie is going to miss him as well. He really does love being outdoors, and I live in the city. I've been looking to buy a house with a back yard for the pups, but just can't do it in time.

Help! If you know how I can find a great (not just good) home for Simon, please let me know!

Comment by Beauty and the Beast on February 8, 2010 at 4:02pm: My fiance is also allergic to our corgi and he will have asthma attacks if I let Shiro sleep on the bed and even clean up the hair after that.
He can't stand any hair on his clothes and gets rash after holding Shiro and letting him lick/claw his skin.
He did not have any issues with his poodle and probably wouldn't with less shedding dogs. He loves him to death though and would never consider parting with him.
We try to keep the apartment clean, vacuum twice a week and don't let Shiro on the furniture. He also gets brushed frequently to minimize shedding.
See if doing that would help for a couple weeks, he might feel better.

That does seem odd that the Corgi triggers his symptoms and not the Cocker, so perhaps a little allergy therapy might solve the problem.

If absolutely you do need to find him a new home, go through a rescue and NOT the animal shelter, or even Craigslist, etc. There are many Corgi specific rescues that will know exactly how to find him the perfect forever home.
