Chattiesmom,
I said I don't KNOW for sure what I can and cannot do at the moment. I AM looking into it.
If I can place Emma, she'll be spayed and placed for a modest adoption fee and that fee deducted what what I'll be asking the courts to obtain from the seller or handed over to rescue for proper placement. I'm hoping this is going to be the case, as it's the best solution for all involved. Hopefully I"ll have answers to that tomorrow.
If not, then I need to figure out a long term foster situation.
On one hand I had a lot of people telling me to pursue the breeder so she doesn't get away with this ever again. Everyone is tired of reading threads and stories about how breeders are ripping people off for their money. I can't do that if I don't go about things in the right, legal manner. What the legal system think is proper and what we think is proper can sometimes be 2 different things.
On the other hand, everyone is sitting here telling me to give the dog to rescue and just take the loss. This is almost $2000 of my money. While it may not seem like a lot to some, it is to me.
I feel like no matter what I do, it's not going to be right and no one is going to be happy. I don't think I'll be posting here anymore. I just can't handle being beaten up on anymore for something that never should have transpired in the first place. If the breeder wouldn't have pushed her problems onto me, I wouldn't be in this mess. My family and myself are going through enough over this and we've lost more sleep, time and money than any of you trying to decide what the best thing to do is. You don't know what you would do until you're in my situation and I pray you never find yourself here to be tried, judged and sentenced for merely wanting a suitable pet for your family. It's not fair to be treated like this and I can't bear to put myself through it anymore.
I wish you all the best with your Yorkies.
