At the moment, I'm not entirely sure I can just outright rehome her and still have a case. My attorney is checking into it for me. I should know more about that sometime this week. In the event that I can't rehome her, I'll definitely be looking to Amanda for long term foster care while we litigate the case in courts.
I do know, however, that until the courts make a decision on the case, I cannot spay her. Spaying her would be altering and/changing a dog that was advertised here on YT as a breeding dog and would nullify my case against the breeder. We all know she's not, but our opinions don't always count. Courts treat animals as property and not as a living creature. I know it's not fair, but it's how the legal system works. This information as stressed heavily to me today, so it's something I need to take into consideration. |
Gina - there is an attorney on YT and I've PMd her to see if she has any insight into the spaying issue. I don't know if she'll be able to offer an opinion, but I will wait and see.
If Emma can indeed be spayed, I do hope that you will get her to Amanda asap. When a person has a dog in their house and talks about that dog as "being dumped on my doorstep" - it becomes an emergency to get that dog out of the environment. I understand your disappointment and your emotional reactions to this situation - but I TRULY WISH you would allow Emma to leave your home asap, and get her to Amanda. I am not implying in any way that she is being mistreated, but she is definitely absorbing all of the feelings you are having about this situation and all of the feelings of being a "dump" and unwanted as a dog.
Won't you please do what's right for this dog?
