6-y-o Miniature Boy Jasper in Kent, Looking for Good Home

I have a 6 1/2 year old Miniature Boy named Jasper who I'm looking for a good home for.

I am unfortunately not in a very good position to care for Jasper. He was a family dog (mine and my mothers) until she passed away in March of this year. My Mother mostly handled all the care needs like brushing him and so on, while I primarily walked him, fed him, took him to get groomed and so on. I have Autism myself and have been struggling with mental health issues for years, while my Mother was a long term Cancer patient. The year before she passed she was made terminal and it was a rough year, one where I progressively neglected walking Jasper every day instead walking him every other day. This got worse as time went on and is still an issues there can be a serval days where I just don't have the energy or drive to get him outside. He is hard to control especially for brushing out his fur since he is non shedding, and I have little experience as this was my Mums main job with him and so since she has passed I have hardily attended to him between his grooming sessions as its difficult to be able to do when he is so resistant. He is a very defiant dog and doesn't always listen to commands, he is extremely unpredictable around other dogs and while I love him dearly, he drains what little energy I have and causes me incredible stress at times with how demanding he can be. Overall my ability alone to care and provide him with good quality of life is not adequate and it pains me to say that. I have too many issues myself I need to work on and nobody else to help anymore. He needs somebody with the time, perseverance and energy to take him on and give him all the attention he needs.

Besides that I am also having to move because of my mums passing and sadly due to circumstances outside of my control will be unable to move into my onwards property without first waiting for the Trust my Mother has placed my inheritance and her share of the house into, to be finalized. This could take up to a month after purchase and the only relative I can stay with has a bitch and thus Jasper would not be able to come with me anyway. I don't really have the money to afford accommodation between this and no definitive time frame of how long it will be before everything is done. The sale here will be concluded next month and I have dragged my feet for ages over Jasper because this pains me so much I just cry over it. But I know as much as I hate to admit it he is better off in a home that can provide more for him than I can, alone now I cannot balance him and his needs with my own difficulties.
