It’s obvious you want a dog badly, but it isn’t fair to your brother when his health could easily suffer because of it. Why don’t you think about volunteering at an animal rescue organization or an animal shelter? You could walk the dogs and play with them, and they’d love the attention. Until you can safely have a dog of your own, volunteering to help animals in need would be a wonderful thing.
I would wait until you move out or he does because you wouldnt want to be left outside 24/7and it depends on where you live if you live in the country thats normal but not if you live in the city or suburbs thats a whole differnt story an since you dont want to risk your brothers health. Im 16 and want a dog but my stories alot differnt But before you think of getting a dog you had better do your homework and think of where its going to live when its outside
And depends on what kind of dog if its a newfy (what i already have) they are not the dog for you because they drool like crazy
Unfortunately dogs (and cats) lick themselves and get saliva protein all over their body. They also aren’t the best in the house when it comes to oral hygiene.
I would suggest having your brother visit an allergist for skin tests. They will be able to identify what he develops reactions to. After this shots are given regularly to desensitize the immune system to these allergens.
It worked very well for me as I’m allergic to cats.
Tough luck doll. Dogs belong in the house not stuck in the backyard. When you move out in 3 years, get a dog.
I think it is pretty selfish for you to force an asthmatic, autistic boy to go through a possible severe maybe life threatening reaction so you can have a dog. The shots and medication don’t always work either.

Well, instead of waiting until you move out, you could try total isolation (dog&&bro). If that doesnt work, try a cat
