Find Care & Housing
3 4 5 6 7
Having been involved in animal welfare work for almost 50 years, I have one thing to say and it is the MOST IMPORTANT. Your mother may love her dog but if it is not cared for properly, it must be made safe - that comes first above emotions and missing the dog. The dog is helpless - you are not. If possible, and it can be done, find a loving foster home or better yet a family who will adopt and love an older dog. There can be wonderful outcomes. I rescued a cat who was nearly 13 from a similar situation - best thing I ever did for the cat and for me. That poor animal deserves to be safe and happy. Then deal with your mother. Distract, explain, whatever it takes. She can't and won't take care of the dog so you have to do it. Feel no guilt. It was your mother's fault and now she has to pay the price. Be strong.
