Even more great news.... I had talked to my Dad before right when I heard about all of this, and he said I could foster Mercedes until I found her a home. Then, of course, Jason HAD to call him. He's so know-it-all and uppity. My Dad just called me back and said he does not want to "bail Jason out", so he now refuses to even consider taking Mercedes.

I could keep her at my Mom's, but Melissa said she doesn't want me to because she doesn't want more people mad at her. So she basically told me not to worry about her, and tried to argue that she had every right to abandon Mercedes and it was "normal"! I cant even believe her right now... this just sucks so much, I can't even explain how disgusted I am. She used to love Mercedes so much, like, a few months ago. And Mercedes was *always* inside and they were *always* playing with her. She doesn't deserve this >.<.. I dont even know what Im going to do, I guess I'll post everywhere and call a bunch of people. I know BC Rescue won't take her because she doesn't even look like a Border Collie, except for coloring.
