So, basically, the problem is, your parents are kind of like the landlords? You have the job, you can financially support the dog, but still living under their roof, you need approval. Correct?
Do you pay them any rent? Whether or not you do, I'd offer them a monthly ';pet deposit'; in returns for keeping the dog. Normally, if you had a real, non-family member landlord, you'd probably have to pay a pet deposit, if they allowed you to have a pet. Even just $50 should be sufficient (while in your parents' home). You can write a letter, or flat-out approach them, maybe with an adoption application in hand (if the rescue has a website, you can sometimes print their adoption application). Remind them that, as property owners, they have to OK things like this, but that you will be financially responsible for the dog.
Kudos for working at Petsmart-gotta love that store, plus, it shows how animal-oriented you are. :o) Good Luck with the dog!What's the best way to convince parents to let you have a small dog?
well i think that you shoud tell your parents that you have proved to them that you are responsilble enough to have a dog...you already have a job so why not let you have a dog. you should be like i am going to buy whatever it needs and i will pick up after it and if i dont follow through with it then the dog will go.
Just ask.. point out the fact that you work and can pay for it. if they still say no, well, its their house. It may be best to wait until you are on your own, so you know that you can afford housing for yourself and the dog.
A long history of taking responsibility seriously.
Maybe dog sit for someone to show them you can do it.
okay so ask them and before they can answer start telling them about good things you do such as chores,good grades,etc. and that you are responsible and you have the money to take care of it so they dont have to worry about any thing ...good luck
