You may be willing to sacrifice more "living" standards for you dog than I would esepcially being that I am single and paying all of my bills alone. I respect your opinion but a roof over my head, food on my table and an education for my orphaned family member is going to trump my dog any day and I don't apologize for that. Me, the dog and my family member would be out on the street if I went bankrupt paying vet bills. I am exhausting all of my options before giving her up. That is a last resort and not the first thing I automatically went to so I'm definitely not as cold hearted as some may think. And giving her to a rescue IMO is a great idea and will guarantee that she will not be mistreated or put down. If I were really cold I would have just take her to the local animal shelter. I am researching all of my options. Trust me and if in the end I have to give her up, I won't be the first or the last person to have to give up their dog unwillingly because they could no longer afford the care she needs. This to me is a responsible decision. |
Have you tried submitting an application anyway and explain that you are not only financially responsible for yourself but also responsible for another person? Sometimes, explaining the whole situation can help your case. Who knows, maybe someone sympathetic will receive your application and find a way to help you out, even if it's just partially. Stranger things have happened!!! Good luck!!!
