I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.
Tally, Washington state b needs a home
-
Tally is still looking for a home. I am just surprised that she didn't go quickly, as she is so darn sweet…but we do have some good ap's in..so fingers crossed, she will soon have her new place to be...

Sharron - Tally is a doll, a little too chubby or not. She looks like my Cami. I hope someone adopts her, soon.
Reading this thread about people giving up dogs is so upsetting!
There is a woman on my road who adopts animals and never ever looks into the future. She thinks nothing of re-homing rescue dogs because of STUPID reasons. I try not to talk to the woman - :mad: - for her own protection!!!
A couple months ago, the neighbor woman applied with a cat rescue group to adopt a beautiful cat whose master had passed away. The cat is a special breed. When I heard about it, I contacted Whiskers Project in Atlanta and gave them an ear full. The woman was not allowed to adopt the cat. Whew. I honestly felt guilty calling the rescue group and interferring, but not now. Since then, the woman has decided to place her home on the market and wants to move into a condo that doesn't allow animals. Grrrrr.
I might add that the woman owns a dog that is a rescue and won't rehome well. Also, after the woman was turned down by Whiskers Project, she adopted an abandoned kitty at her vet's office. Where will these animals go when her house sells?? Very very disturbing.

This is wrong!!!!!!!!
But we can only change what we can in this life.
I do believe that anyone who does animals like this, will be judged harshly in the next life.
But oh, those poor dogs. -
I just saw that Tally is pending! Yay! I hope everything works out.
-
I saw that too, earlier this morning when I did my rounds on BRAT..bad vice I have.
I hope she gets her very deserving forever home soon. -
I am driving her to Eastern Wa where we will meet up with her new mom…and the home is "golden"...as Tally is such a good girl, it should be a match made in heaven.
If I get some photos, I will post them. -
Sharron, once again you are an angel..
-
That is great news a home of her own. Tally is pretty so kind of you to take Tally to her new home. Please tell her new home thank you.

Angel? Me? Oh, no…the folks who open their homes and hearts to dogs in need are the ones I admire.
I am just doing rescue, because it makes me feel good! -
True folks open there homes and hearts but you do to Sharon. Were would our rescue's be without you???

Rita Jean, its so hard to explain, but for me, to be thanked for doing something I really WANT to do, that helps dogs, and makes me feel so good, when it works, seems like I am really greedy! laugh. Took me many years to find something I can do that helps dogs and humans. So,, really for me, its a labor of love..

I love dog's I have had and been around dog's all my life. Granny use to say that grand dad and I loved our dog's more than her. We had a Irish setter (Cindy) she would ride in back of pickup but she would get on tool box and jump at tree limbs got thowed out one day. Grand dad apply brakes like there was no new day like to threw granny threw glass. She told him I knew it told you all long you loved your dog more then me. Today it's funny and well it was funny back then when it was over. Cindy never got to ride in back again she rode up front with me and grand dad and granny talk about no room.

I have to agree, Sharron, you really are such an amazing person to do what you do, as is everyone that helps in rescue, on all levels.
-
I understand what you are saying Sharron, I too get huge enjoyment in fostering and helping the ones who can't speak, out. But I still think people like you and other fosters are angels in their own right.
-
Thank you, but we couldn't do anything with out a good foster home…so, bless your heart too!
