Ethically, a rescue is only supposed to adopt out healthy animals, as I understand it. It would be a wonderful gesture on your part if you could foot the bill. I guess if that is too much of a hardship you could return him to the rescue. Just listing options here, not judging at all.
Sad thing is, it's always the pups who really do the suffering. |
Returning this poor little pup to the rescue is definitely not an option for us. She's been through enough. Although, I could see how someone might choose to do that. At this point, I'm more concerned about her health & well-being rather than my ethics & principles. You're absolutely right when you say that it's the pups who do the suffering.
Your idea about contacting the rescue to let them know about the pneumonia is brilliant. That way I could let them know that Momo is contagious & at the time same make them aware that I don't agree with how they handled the situation. It might not come across as me trying to be argumentative if I approach them that way. Thank you for that suggestion.
I'm planning on thinking this through at least until tomorrow. I'd rather not react too quickly & make this more of a mess than it already is. Thanks!
