I would not be asking for donations. If I couldn't afford the care then I would turn the dog over to someone who could get it the care it needs. To me this is cut and dry. If she can't pay for it, she needs to surrender the pup to a rescue or something. Letting the poor thing suffer is just NOT ACCEPTABLE. No excuses period. As far as I am concerned, she is being selfish and not doing what needs to be done! 
Ladyjane, wasn't there a lady here one time who had a pup that she couldn't afford care for? If I remember she turned her pup over to you. She was very upset and loved the pup but DID WHAT WAS BEST FOR THE PUP!! That is what this really boils down to - doing what is best for this pup!!! |
We have had many owner surrenders who did what they did to save their pups...not thinking of themselves.
