Thank you, for the additional information it's good to know. I've waited a long time and waiting awhile longer isn't a problem for me. I never thought getting her, for me, was possible anyway, since I'm in CA. So I can't say I've had any hopes regarding her. I initially suggested surrendering her to a reputable rescue which I still think is probably the best idea.
Back when I showed there was a philosophy if people paid a great deal of money for a doggie they would care better for the doggie. So I can understand some people believe this is a way of ensuring a quality home for their loved one. I didn't share that philosophy I thought the only way was by getting to know people over time then staying in touch with them and working with them. I never found written contracts to be much good either. It never substituted for all the time and energy that had to go into simply getting to know the people and working with them over time. Another thing is when people are in desperate straits financially they can do things they may not have wanted to do.
So I can understand how this could happen. Another consideration is often reputable breeders want to take their own doggies back. Maybe that's another avenue the OP could investigate.
At the end of it all I just sincerely hope the little doggie finds a home that can give her the time, attention, stability and care she needs no matter how she eventually ends up there but honestly there are some ways that are better than others..
Oops sorry I do run on I'm going to blame it on the head injury I never know how much is to much LOL
sorry,
