Jennifer, how comfortable would you be to tell them that your feelings are about your soul and that you cannot continue with this relationship if they continue to do what they do? You view this as animal abuse (same as child abuse in my mind but I never had children) and then tell them that you will start reporting them as you can not allow this to continue. I would still report them to the rescue as they will protect your name but you could go on record with your "friends". This will be a tough thing for you to do and it will be very difficult for you but I know we as a nation must start speaking up for the animals. I have made my decision that the dogs I rescued took priority over an human's feelings. It was a choice I had to make. I have even turned my niece down for a dog because she just was not responsible enough. It is always tough and I do my darnest to try and sugar coat the truth but in the end I know I did what was right for the dog. Many times even on YT I have to bite my tongue because of situations I see on people being ignorant on dogs. At least I think if people are coming to YT they are willing to listen and they didn't get these little Yorkies as an accessory. Even if they did maybe, just maybe they will learn that these creatures, love, hurt and have feelings.
