YES I do know what I would do in an emergency situation. I would do what ever it takes to save their lives. IF I could not come up with the cash, I'd turn to a credit card (which I have for emergency situations). My little ones mean the world to me, they bring me happiness and love. Sure that happiness and love CAN be duplicated by many, many 'new' little ones, but I chose my two, and I am committed to caring for them the BEST way I can. If that means paying off bills from their care for the rest of my life (which I am already doing) than I would find a way to make it work.
I have cared for and taken in a handful of Rescue's as well, and I am friendly with a certain Yorkie Rescue in this area, I know their mission and how they work and operate, and as much as it would hurt me until the day I died, IF for some reason I could no longer care for mine, I would want them to live on in a happy and loved home, and I would be sooooooooo THANKFUL 'if' I was given that opportunity to give my guys a better life than I could provide.
If a Vet told me that I could surrender rather than PTS b/c I couldn't afford the bills, there would be NO DOUBT in my mind....I WOULD NEVER EVER PTS just because I couldn't pay for their care and because I didn't want someone else to adopt them. That is very selfish....
