By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

It comes under the Fair Housing and disabilities laws. A muzzle is a great idea or maybe keeping the dog in a kennel in her room during visiting hours.Or, you might gradually introduce a cat as a pet with your mom.........and take the nipper home with you but bring it back to visit.
A home reared dog might easily be traumatized by the relocation to a facility. We have a Jack Russell Terrier and i'm sure that he would resource guard me if I was moved out of my home. You mother's dog is probably just protecting the leader of it's pack who it undoubtedly perceives is sick and distressed about the move. That is a lot of stress for a small dog to handle.
The alternate course is for you or another family member to have the dog live with you and bring it to visit your mother when you go. This might also soften her attitude towards you since she will be seeing her precious pup whenever you visit.
Strangers should never pet a dog unless welcomed to do so by the owner. Perhaps a little crate would be good. Dogs love the feeling of a "den."
I've never heard of a "one dog house." Dogs learn behaviors from their humans and many times it can be "unlearned." There are experts who can help two dogs acclimate and learn to live together.
I hope you can avoid giving this dog up for adoption. That would just add more sadness for both your Mom and the pup.
good luck
I truly think that if you talk to the administrator and ask for a 'second chance' for the dog, perhaps it can be worked out! Hope upon hope!
Best you you and your family~
Hap
p.s. ANYONE who knows chi's KNOWS that they are snippy dogs!! Why not make a vest for the dog that says "DO NOT PET"
Also... talk to the facility about giving the dog another chance. making a change like this may very well make your mothers condition alot worse. They should know this.
I understand that there are liabilities where animals are concerned and surely they have some safeguards in place to make sure nothing happens to other residents or visitors.
BUT.. if they will not allow the dog to remain, have THEM remove the dog,and allow YOU to rehome it. After all Mom is already unhappy with you (family).... it shouldn't be something that YOU have to do. Gosh... I know how lost she will be without her dog... my heart goes out to her (and you).
