One more thing. I have to agree with what Vela posted after me. Briana, it seems your Mom doesn't really care about Roxy and she seems to be making all the decisions concerning her. Why won't she consider finding a new home for her rather than putting her through more undue misery? I do believe you love her enough to set her free(not literally of course) so maybe you can convince Mom that's the best way. If you find her a nice, new home, you could maybe go and visit her so she would still be in your life. Just a suggestion
