Ok so my mom hates/dislikes animals but I really want a dog. I told her how much I wanted one and about pugs (small and cute) She looked like she was going to say yes but then she said "you cant take care of a dog "and I said" mom you never give me the chance "so I need help how to prove to my mom that I can own a dog
same here. i am begging my grandma to bring my dog from my house (im living here) and she said i cant take care of a dog because of my last dog which i was like 13? .. sometimes you cant change a parents/adults mind.
The whole volunteer at a shelter or some place is a good way to show responsibility. The again if you know a local pet store that you and your mom can go to together to look at puppies that would be good. Most people who don't care for animals will usually break down and let their kid have a pet when they see the animal and how much the kid and the pet get along. With a puppy they can usually win over a parent with something cute that they do and a few loving kisses.Try that out and make sure to tell your parent what you will do for the pet. Good luck.
well if she doesn't like dogs, i'm afraid you're SOL.

when you move out and get your own place, you can get whatever dog you want. but for now you need to listen to your mom. if you asked and she said no, that's the end of it. move on with your life.
She doesn't like animals what part of that do you understand? Why on earth would you want to bring an animal into a home where it is NOT wanted by the person who will ultimately be responsible for it?
Ask her to buy you a fish. Prove that you cant take care of a fish.
Clean its tank, feed it everyday, etc. Then she will see your responsible and maybe she will buy you a dog!
Good Luck!
Prove your responsible like getting to school early or doing the dishes or vacuuming the carpet or getting good grades etc.
Tell her all the good things a dog can do.
A classic move is to sneak it home in your jacket. When she see's it wiggling around she may let you keep it.
Get a part time job somewhere. Volunteer at an animal shelter.You 've got to build up a level of trust with mom, can't just go around telling her junk like "i'll do this, this, this". Actions speak louder than words. If you don't practice what you preach, then no one in their right mind will believe you.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com You should also research dog care and costs. Prove to her that a Pug is the best breed choice for your family and you understand what you're getting into. Consider the simple fact that a well bred Pug will cost $ 800 or more (not including supplies or general continual upkeep), and that as a whole they are not the healthiest breed and even well bred ones can come with many health concerns (which means potential vet bills up the wazoo.) Consider that this animal will need to be potty trained , obedience trained, taught manners, let out to potty frequently, cleaned up after, socialized, groomed, etc etc.
How are your grades at school? How reliable are you with your chores? How reliable are you at getting your work done on time (school or otherwise)? How are you when it comes to hanging out with friends - do you stay where you should , come home on time, don't do anything stupid?
Mom is ultimately responsible for the cost and care of a dog - if she does not want that, then that is HER choice to make. Not yours.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Add - A fish. Seriously? Fish to dog is a BIG leap. Just because one can keep a fish alive does not mean one can properly care for a dog. Period.
Stick with getting a job or volunteer work. Far better chance of proving ANYTHING that way ....
