This is a bad take my dude. I can assure you this an agonizing choice she needed to make and I'm sure her heart is broken. I've worked in rescue for a hot minute - I've seen this - it's not easy at all., for anyone involved.
She didn’t want to pay for the surgery. Someone else did.
My. Dude.
You definitely didn't read the article in it's entirety, and it shows.
Not reading the article and being aggressively confidently incorrect is basically this guy's MO
She can pay $7k and get the dog back.
You can pay $0 and read the article.
She offered exactly that, they refused. Hell, even to begin with she was willing to pay the $12,000 she was originally quoted, but was told there was a very slim chance that it would be successful and that euthanasia was the best course of action. The shelter even coached her into putting the dog down.
You really should read more before you run your mouth.
If she was willing to pay, why did she not? The shelter is crap clearly, but the place she took it to to put it down was another place who clearly felt different. It’s a different owner now. It’s up to them.
I know you're not going to read the article, but you could at least read the comment you're replying to, because it contains the answer to your question.
I read it. Not the comments. New owner owns the dog 🤷♂️
