You asked US to calm down. I also tried to refer you to some people that run a yorkie placement nearly like a rescue and you started asking about adoption fees. When I told you there would be no adoption fee to you, you stopped writing. Anyone involved with rescue knows there are no adoption fees. You turn your dog over free. i can certainly un derstand your needing to get your money back. At least what you can. No one can afford to just give money away. I am sickened by your post this morning. i agree that you have turned out as bad as this breeder. Things are coming to light that make you seem very shady. yes, we are concerned about this dog and NO we don't have to calm down. The longer this thread goes on, the worse YOU are beginning to look andd not just to me. You seem to have made your mind up what you are going to do. The only way people are going to "calm" down is for you to write admin a pm and ask that this thread be closed.

Whats this new Thread you started this morning? I'm really starting to not like people
Teiya , Are you not doing the same thing to Emma by posting her for sale KSL.COM with not being spayed. How can you be so sad about these other dogs when you just need to look in your own home at Emma, I dont get it. You need to stop seeking advise from the Avian Lawyer friend and go with what in your heart....

I think the first thing that people need to realize and understand is that I'm not in any position to do anything with this dog until I've spoken with the proper authorities and figure out what I can LEGALLY do and what my limitations are.

I know Amanda offered to meet me halfway, but I do have obligations and responsibilities and I can't just drop everything I'm doing and spend 6 hours in a car at a moments notice. I am the rescue director for my local Avian society and with that title comes A LOT of responsibility. Weekends are tough, as I usually spend the bulk of them moving parrots into rescue, assessing their needs/temperament, vet checks, cleaning cages, and then to foster or adoptive homes. I cannot let those counting on me down just because someone dumped a dog on my doorstep. Please try to understand this and accept the fact that I take my seat on the board of directors VERY seriously.

At the moment, I'm not entirely sure I can just outright rehome her and still have a case. My attorney is checking into it for me. I should know more about that sometime this week. In the event that I can't rehome her, I'll definitely be looking to Amanda for long term foster care while we litigate the case in courts.

I do know, however, that until the courts make a decision on the case, I cannot spay her. Spaying her would be altering and/changing a dog that was advertised here on YT as a breeding dog and would nullify my case against the breeder. We all know she's not, but our opinions don't always count. Courts treat animals as property and not as a living creature. I know it's not fair, but it's how the legal system works. This information as stressed heavily to me today, so it's something I need to take into consideration.

I WILL keep everyone abreast of everything I find out and everything that we do regarding Emma.

4doggiemama and valerieam -- I think Amanda was speaking to DanicaBraggs who posted she is willing to foster Emma and look for a potential forever home for her in Illinois. Gina decided she wants to look for people to rehome in Utah instead of shipping/travelling by YT train to another location to look for a rehome prospect. That sounds very reasonable!

It was admirable for Danica to volunteer but if they can find a local family that is right for Emma, it would be a lot easier on her.
