Right now if we cannot express how badly we feel for the people going through this, with sincerity, then we should all remember what we were taught as kids and what we have all taught our own,

If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

This situation is tragic on many levels for many creatures 2 legged and four.

Jess, I truly hope you will find some comfort in the days ahead.

I honestly respect everything you've said. It's not my nature to criticize anyone for the decisions they make. Sometimes things have to be done that we don't like and we accept it and go on. I think the big thing in this case is the fact that every detail of this adoption has been made public to all of us on this board. We are all aware of circumstances and conditions that may or may not have been condusive to pet ownership. We're all here because we love animals and we care what happens to them. We have many experts here that have many good solutions and lots of great advice. I just wish that this entire thing would have been looked at more closely to begin with, considering all factors. We would hope there is a better alternative for these two dogs in the long run. I sincerely hope that Jess(and Chad) can get some help for their problems. I have great concern for anyone in their shoes and I certainly don't mean to imply that I diminish or disrespect their medical conditions in any way.

All this said, please try to rehome these dogs to someone that's equipped to handle them. I know there must be a solution. I wish you the best and hope to hear some better news.
