I've been fighting my depression as hard as I can. One way by adopting a Rottweiler puppy and getting him as an ESA. Got a reference from a coworker that got his rottie puppy recently. I've encountered nothing but issues. Already paid the non refundable deposit.
First off, I've requested one with a tail (I don't want it docked). I can't find a local breeder that doesn't dock their tails anywhere even if I request it. I had to request that he didn't dock his tail specifically and I was charged more for it. I also had to pay it earlier than usual because he docks their tails at 3 days old and if he doesn't have the deposit he can't be sure I'll get the dog and then he'll be stuck trying to sell a rottie puppy with a tail that no one wants
First litter was was supposed to be mid March. Breeder never reached out to me to tell me that the dog was born. At this point I hadn't paid the deposit. My fault.
Next litter was supposed to be the end of April. This dog never gave birth. He said said he think she "absorbed the pups". Shame, but ok.
Litter after that was due May 1st-3rd. Puppies are born and he didn't tell, but I'm super excited cause he got me a boy and was gonna keep the tail. He goes MIA a bit. I'm texting him too much cause I'm excited and start buying stuff for my lil son. He tells me a couple of days ago that while he was out of town (for a couple of weeks???) the mom chewed on my dogs tail and he told me he had another one that just gave birth and he kept a tail on one of the boys cause some people want tails.
Now he just told me that the other mom rolled over on top of one of the girls, and my boy with the tail. He then told me there's another litter coming in June. I feel so low. He told me this the day before my birthday (which is notoriously cheeks too). I was only getting out of bed because of that dog some days, and not to sound dramatic, but inconveniences like this are way too common for me. I don't know what to do, I kind of want to go "what's the point". I want feel a mixture of emotions but overall I'm not surprised. Things often going south when I'm trying my best reminded me of why I'm suicidal in the first place.

So you want to love and care for a dog? I understand that feeling quite a bit. The universe never wanted me to keep a pet. Man, oh man. All my pets went missing or dead. Dogs, fish, birds. Rabbits. You name it, I had it.

Also, I think this breeder is not very reliable.Maybe you can try another one. Is a Rottweiler a must?

He's not, but the dudes got $700 dollars already. The meaning behind this dog is very important to me it means so much. It's not a dealbreaker, but I really want a rottie after my research

Dogs and all pets annoy me. I love animals but don't want them in my house. I get nothing from the experience, only extra work. They make me anxious and drained. But if you feel you really need one, then I sincerely hope it works out for you eventually.

This sounds like some sort of scam to me.. this guy has alot of excuses. Try to keep any records that you paid this guy 700$ and I wouldn't give him another dime until you are holding a puppy.. if worst comes to worse, and you get scammed, id call the police to talk to this guy! If it does work out, and hoping it does, for future, you can also join a rottie rescue. Very often, there are puppies available for adoption. I had only one rottie, many years ago, and without going into detail, it ended badly, and ever since (close to 30yrs) I've been adopting Cane Corso mastiffs, and have had some heartbreaks as well.. dogs can cause alot of stress, but also relieve a lot of stress, if that makes sense. I hope it works out, and this guy is legitimate, but don't be afraid to flood him with messages. Unscrupulous breeders need to be exposed..

Yeah, it sounds like a scam because they keep making excuses. Did you ever get video of the litter?

Rotties are such loyal breeds. Dogs are the only thing that help my depression to. I agree with others sounds like they could be scamming you

I would be the one to get scammed. Never been the brightest fellow. Trusted him just cause he sold to a coworker 😔. That was foolish

A lot of people get scam so don't feel too bad. I work at call center and we get a lot of call from victims of the gift card scam. Sadly, it is common.

the animal shelters are overcrowded with dogs
I think we should not support the breeding of animals

against my better judgement, i adopted one last august. don't get me wrong - i love dogs but now i'm stuck here for that much longer.

the excuses from that breeder sound like major b.s. but i hope you can get that settled. that really must suck to get your emotions toyed with. the adoption center gave me the 'run around' for a couple weeks.

It's imperative it's a puppy and not from shelter. It's fine. I tap. I'm not strong enough

The universe doesn't want me to have a girlfriend -- because it conspires against me. I've been starving for affection for decades and dying of starvation. I've wanted it more than anything, I've made superhuman efforts, and yet I'm still alone.

I'm going to die a virgin.

You are not dramatic at all. I also experience inconveniences (usually minor, but bad enough to ruin my mood) all the freaking time, at least whenever I feel happy. I also go what's the point and am never surprised anymore. Bad things always seem to happen whenever I'm happy or in somewhat in a good mood. It feels like the universe reminds me of why I'm suicidal in the first place, every single time without fail.
