Glad to hear there is light at the end of the tunnel. I never think it is a good idea for any young person to own a dog unless their family is also into the dog. Even if you got out of moms house and into your own place, typically school or making a living puts too much demand on your time to be fair to a dog. Seldom does a teenager or young adult have enough stability or certainty in their life for the next 12 years to have a dependent like a dog able to rely on them. The only way this works out is if the family grows to love the dog also and can be counted on if need be.
