Usually they don't, but I would think they would access each situation. In a situation where a pup required major medical attention they would place the dog with an approved family that understands the care for such a pup.

Ok, I admit I have short term memory loss from Encephalitis. I see 120 posts, and lot of bickering, and lot of back slapping, but I have to ask, what is the outcome here? All I can see is a lady with cancer under a gread deal of stress and a sick dog. Unfortunatley, tough love does not work for everyone. Some resist and will push away. So what is the outcome?

I agree with Maryeverette, Love how you all just jump on her. She had some very valid points. This thread is getting to the point of no return. Dogs and people get sick. Show some compassion to the lady. How the heck do you think she feels. Seriously, I need to just take some time off from YT. I only came here looking for a future breeder to get a pup from someday. That mission has been accomplished. With this group, I feel like a bull in a china shop. I can see now why this site in not on the Marine Corps list of recommended reading. Have a great day.

To the OP.....you may want to contact this group, hopefully they could help Roriee - at least they are in Atlanta.

who we are Briarcliff Animal Foundation

Usually they don't and in this case with all the medical problems this dog has it is very doubtful because this dog needs to be with someone who has an open checkbook. If you read all the threads since November there is so many problems with this dog...it is sad.

Most reputable rescue would never take your money based on the dog being returned to the owner because so many things can happen and every rescue looks at all situations on a case by case basis.

I'd rather show compassion for the dog.
No one here is blind to the fact that this is a very difficult situation for her and I believe that she has everyone's sympathy for that. But the bottom line is, the dog needs help and rather than choosing to surrender the dog so she can get the help she needs, she has elected to allow her to continue suffering so that she can keep her. No amount of foot stomping and lecturing is going to change that. And there is NO justification for it. Again, if the well being of this dog is not what you see as the most important issue, then you are on the wrong forum.
What's the outcome, you ask? Yet another diversion from the real issue--the health of a dog--for the sake of lecturing people on how to be nice.

You are right, this is the wrong forum for me, but I will stick around regardless. We disagree, and life will go on.

If the dog is surrendered and donations can be given for the medical care, someone please post a link for a paypal donation.

:thumbup::thumbup:

Clearly there is a misconception as to what the purpose of a "rescue" organization is. They are there to take dogs, have them treated when needed, have them rehabilitated and trained when possible, and to have them placed in loving capable homes when lucky. They are NOT there to foot the bill for an owners vet expenses when they cannot afford it themselves. When rescues start offering that service, please let me know so I can sign up.

So glad you continue to stick around in spite of subjects you may not agree with.

In answer to your question: If we are informed of the rescue a dog is surrendered to, donations can be made towards that particular dog's medical treatment.

To the OP
 

I'm curious. Auburn is one of the top vet schools in the nation. They are 45 min from Marietta and I know for a fact they perform these types of procedures. Chances are extremely likely that any vet you encounter in that part of GA graduated from AU. Have any of them explored the options you have by having her treated there? Have you spoken with any rescues in YOUR area that would be willing to work with that institution to have her treated?

So, where's this whole thing at? Last I saw was that Roriee would be surrendered but transport was the problem. If there's another option, can someone please offer it? All this who's nice/not nice and shoulda/woulda/coulda doesn't do one thing for this dog. I did see where Jenn posted a link. If rescues really do network, can't some better option be found other than taking Roriee to Michigan? This is a sad case and the focus should be entirely on getting this girl the help she needs.

To the OPer......you said that there were funds collected to help pay for medical bills. If so, buy a ticket and either you or someone you know can fly her in cabin to Michigan. Heck-fly to Chicago and I will meet you at the airport and I will drive her to Michigan. It's only about 2 hour or so from me. Just let me know and I will be at either OHare or Midway to pick up Roriee and get her to the rescue she needs to go to for help.

WHo is the top rescuer here?
If the poster releases her dog, to a rescue in Georgia, can she tell them the story and the rescuer from here talk with georgia rescue so we all know this dog is getting the care she desperately needs...and donations are made from yorkietalk......possibly allowing this dog and owner to reunit again?
SOMetimes there are special cases arent there?

Look into having treatment in Auburn, completely taking transportation out of the problem as an issue. Speak with the rescue Jenn posted. See if they will take her and have it done. Give them the funds that you have collected for her treatement so far to help.
Have the rescue set up a fund just for her that pays to them. I suspect that many here will help.

No one is saying the dog is not the first priority!! She is!!!! Everyone 100% agrees with that! But you are forgetting the fact that to get to the dog you have to go through the lady first! No one is justifying what she has or has not done to contribute to the pain and suffering of this dog either! What good does it do to beat her over the head with past mistakes except to get her to run to someone or somewhere else which means this dog stays in pain longer! All I'm trying to say is can we figure out a way to rescue the dog without making the person in charge of the dog take off? Beat away once you have the dog in a solution that lessens her pain! If the dog is the priority that would seem incredibly obvious. The focus needs to be doing whatever is necessary and practical to get this dog help. And since the human is in charge and the rescuers need to go through her it would make sense to at least try and be civil while someone tries to obtain this suffering baby! That is the real issue. The name calling and "tough love" is a diversion from what the priority should be and a whole lot of shoulda, woulda, couldas don't help this baby in this
emergency situation. A doctor who works in an ER doesn't stand there and lecture a patient who is bleeding to death because he drove drunk. He deals with the acute injury and has that conversation once he saves his life! I'm sick over this situation and didn't sleep for worry over whether or not this baby is still suffering. I just want someone to get to her as soon as possible and save her life. If this post makes me an evil dog hater I don't know what language you speak because at the moment thid baby is all I can think about!

I dont have alot of money but I would most definitely send donations.
All I need is is the address of the rescue she goes too. Please post it here alng with a phone number.
I will request all proceeds go toward your dogs surgery and wellness and will also ASK THE TWO OF YOU BE REUNITED.

You once asked that I be perfectly honest with you, so here goes.

What good does it to continuously insert lectures regarding being nice?

Yes, it would seem incredibly obvious. But apparently, for some, being nice is a bigger priority. I've made several suggestions for possible options for getting this dog help. As did LadyJane when NO ONE ELSE was hardly even posting on the thread. As have several others who have volunteered to donate to the care of this dog once she is in rescue and who have volunteered their services to help transport her. What contribution have you made other than a lecture on politeness? In your own words, 'what good does it do?'

That's exactly what the focus of this thread was until people had to start defending themselves, yet again.
And clearly, you have not been around nearly enough ER doctors if you think that they just pat those kinds of patients on the back and send them off with a "better luck next time." :p

Good! Then let the people who have been offering her advice and various options and offering support continue instead of distracting from the situatino by scolding others for their posting manners. We have admin and mods to do that. If you think someone broke any of the site rules, then report them and let them deal with it instead of trying to take matters into your own hands.

If that is the case, then why not just send a donation for the care of this dog to the OP now? It would essentially be the same thing, wouldn't it? No need to wait if you are willing and eager.

Mod has already posted her opinion on the gravity of this situation and the rescuers methods on handling it. Mod understand the urgency is of the utmost importance here and nothing else matters.

I don't see how you think your long, book-type posts are not a diversion?:confused:

diversion? Next you will mentioning the CIA and a cover up. Her points are valid. I see no meeting of the minds. What is the status of the Dog? What rescue for donations? that is all I care about, not singling out individuals because their thought process does not agree with yours.

No its essentially not the same thing. I think others would be very willing to donate when they know the dog is in a licenses rescue so they positively know where the money is going too.
I dont mean the poster is a liar (poster plz dont think that) but you have to be careful
Plus I have the posters health in mind too, I value human life. If she only knew she might be united with her dog again, this would be a blessing to her.

<<<<<Plus I have the posters health in mind too, I value human life. If she only knew she might be united with her dog again, this would be a blessing to her>>>>>>

You are on target. Several of the vocal committee have lost sight that there is also a human being involved that is also quite sick. I totally agree with your post. As much as I love dogs, and I love them very much, a human life is more important to me. Some will no doubt disagree, but that is fine, and expected.

That would be the ideal situation.

But, there would be reluctance om some YT member's part in doing so. Remember we have been scammed for thousands and thousands of dollars, by a current member's request for donations, holding raffles, etc. And all in the name of attempting to obtain medical care for her yorkie. I am by no means saying this is the case in this situation, just mentioning it so that people understand member's reluctance to donate in this manner.

Oh I know that all too well Mary. That is EXACLY the point I was trying to make. The underlying issue would be the same--footing the medical bill for someone else's dog. I would be willing to donate if the rescue could ensure that the dog would be placed in a home where any future care may need could be provided for her. I would NOT donate to one that was gonig to return her to a home where she was allowed to suffer.

This link is for a list of shelter and rescues in Georgia.

Georgia Pet Shelters and Animal Rescue

It would seem that at least one of them could at least steer the OP in the right direction. Not all on the list are rescues and none of them are for Yorkies specifically.

Randi, perhaps you could enlist the aid of one of the rescue ladies here to help screen these rescues to see which ones are reputable and if any could help. Even if they can't help directly, one maybe able to refer you to someone who can that is not so far away.

This is the link where I found the info on Briarcliff. What I liked about this group is they operate a vet clinic. IDK if they would be willing to help, but I think they might at least be able to refer her to agencies that can help.

I'm so done with this. If you read my above post you would see all I care about is getting the dog help. Immediately. Shodun tell me where to donate and I will. Obviously anything I say including wanting the dog to get immediate help is wrong. Bama obviously you did read that I wrote when an ER doc is treating a patient dying on the table he treats first and then "has the conversation after he sees if the person stayed alive" nowhere did I say he fixes and releases and says "better luck next time!" You are just making stuff up now and for your information my brother in law is a surgeon and an ER doc. How could anyone possibly take issue with what I wrote above? Just blows my mind. It's like certain people are trying to be difficult and argumentative. All I want is for this suffering dog to find relief. Period. Like it or not you have to go through the owner.

That would seem to be the place to start...just checking some of these places out. This could be done today with a little legwork. If need be, we could eliminate shelters from the list and focus on the rescues. I'd be willing to make a call if the list got split up and we started making inquiries.

I also would donate for Roriee's care if in the hands of a rescue organization that I could verify is legitimate. I would not donate to someone's paypal account on a website with break-your-heart chronicles of their dog. This OP has already mislead the public with her claims this dog would have surgery and meanwhile we hear not that the dog is getting medical care but she is getting ad hoc nursing with pedialyte while she screams in pain.

I hope that this Olga who has been in touch with the OP will follow through on this dog -- if the owner changes her mind, Olga or whoever knows the whereabouts of this owner/dog should report her to the SPCA in the area so that they can get a court order to remove the dog from its suffering. You're right, it's up to the owner, but when the owner fails, the law takes over.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this wee one been diagnosed with Shunt too. If so, isn't there a shunt rescue, one other than Dr Tobias, since she was associated with the Fanny Mae LS Foundation and that is now defunct.
