First let me start out by saying I am very sorry your in the situation your in. It must be heart breaking. If I could give you a hug right now I would.
Second you sound like a very reasonable young woman. You seam like you want whats best for your little gal. Hats off to you. One thing I didn't hear you talk about was recovery time. While I know your in school and maybe possibly working too? Does that allow you time to work on rehab with your dog? I understand that the money side of this problem is weighing heavily on you at this time, try and think long term. Like what would the next 6 months be like. How many follow up appt. would you need to go to and could you fit them in your busy schedule.
I wish you and your gal all the best. The positive at this point is you have someone you know and trust that is willing and able to give her what she needs. While it may very well be painful at first to see her with someone else and not be able to bring her home to snuggle with, you will still be able to see her, and know shes doing well. Heck you may even be asked to puppy sit on occasion.
The road you are about to travel will not be an easy one. But It will make you stronger. Life throws everyone a curve, how you handle it makes you who you are.
