I am 16 years old and I have a huge problem. My older brother, who is 26 years old and lives with his girlfriend, dumped the responsibilty of his dog on me. He visits his dog less than 3 hours a day, and the dog is being neglected by his abscense. I do not mind taking care of her, but she needs my brother emotionally. My parents refuse to do something about this situation and try avoiding dealing with it because the only option seems to be sending her to a shelter (but not a kill shelter of course), which would just be more traumatizing for the dog. What should me or my parents do?
