I sent Tanisha a long polite email and explained how I felt she was not in a position to be breeding and that I could no longer put aside my principles against her breeding practices to attend meetups. I suggested she surrender Mia to someone that would be better able to deal with her. She sent me back a short polite reply, that she did not have to explain herself, that we have had these heart to hearts before and that some of my information was flawed. I have also messaged several people in the group, most feel as I do, but some of them still feel sorry for the dog and want to help because of that. I even managed to track down a few phone numbers for some people I never met but that have been very vocal and active in their support on FB, lets say while they are not going to be deserting the dog, it was a wake up call for them and will be approaching things differently. I think Tanisha will someone manage to get the dog the help it needs but I don't feel good about Mia recovering in her home, I have found out that the initial injury was caused by something her son did with the puppy (not exactly what, I have heard a few versions) and I have also been told that the middle son has been doing things like hiding the puppies behind things. Now she is locking the doors to all her rooms, which must be a hard way to live. I remember when I bought some of my past puppies from good breeders they would generally not sell yorkies to families with children under the age of about 8 or 10, and here Tanisha has two boys under the age of 5 or 6. I am also going to look into the ordinances in her county on the amount of dogs one can own, I am assuming she is over the limit, that might be the only approach because none of the agencies like the SPCA or Humane Society are able to help. |
I'm glad you said something Donna. This woman has a screw lose. It's amazing about how the truth comes out about this pup's injury.
I can't stand her, but that doesn't mean I don't want to help this pup. Poor little thing has no choice in the matter. It's sickening. This woman needs to get her priories straight, and knock off this sick obsession. I guess it's mind boggling to me. She claims to have no money for vet care, yet I'm pretty sure when I met her, she had on silver jeans ($100 a pair), and jewelry up the wazoo.
