The ONLY thing that I think is good about this is that the money goes directly to the clinic.
I really don't think that we are bringing negative statements into this thread - just voicing concern. No one implied that ANYONE didn't have a brain in their head, Catty - sheesh. Now who turns it Nasty?
I'm sorry but I see a HISTORY here. HISTORY.
This is the family that couldn't afford vet care for one dog and it died, and then turned around and shelled out $$$ a month or 2 later for another pom and since then more animals.
This is the same child who last year in one thread said they didn't have enough money to pay rent or buy food but was thinking about asking for a $300 camera for her birthday. Then asked if anyone had an memory card to give her. Do you see what I'm saying? It doesn't seem like its never enough and I do understand that she is 14. But @ 14 I would not have the guts to ask for the things she has to us and to her mother, and while I do understand that its the animals lives @ stake but doing this is just enabling her to think that we owe her something and that she will carry thru the rest of her life. I am not implying she would be UNGRATEFUL @ all, before you put words in my mouth and imply that. I'm sure she would be grateful but what about next year when she gets another dog or another cat and wants money then?
I honestly think in my heart, that she has seen us give money to several people who have needed it over the couple years she has been here, and now she thinks it is her turn.

I have purposely not come to this thread at all since it was brought to my attention by Brianna posting a plea for help in Dog General. I knew that I would become angry and upset. But, now that I have, I see that I am not the only one who feels this way. Michelle and Catty1 I truly believe that you are both very good ladies who have only the best interest of the animals at heart, and I applaud you and your good hearts for that. But, I also believe in this case you are enabling a situation that should never have happened to continue. Do I want these animals taken to a kill shelter and put to sleep, of course not. Do I want any true animal lover's pet (as I believe Bri is) taken to a shelter and put to sleep? Again the answer is no. But I do not have the money, time, patience, nor do I feel it is my place to right the wrongs of every irresponsible pet owner out there. I feel for Bri and her mother. They need to take care of themselves first and never should have brought the animals into the situation that they did. It is nice of you ladies to want to help. But do not chastise those that feel differently than you do. I personally think that anyone who really wanted to help these animals would be putting much more time and effort into finding suitable homes for these animals than in collecting money for a temporary fix.
