    Can you arrange with the sister to "poof" the dog?

    As others have said, not likely she would sue you.

    No, no dog poofing going to happen, I'm afraid. She would know exactly who took it, and exactly who it was given to.

    The "reward for irresponsibility" aspect of this is what has bothered me for a week. That's why I haven't acted thusfar.

    Realistically, though, this girl has had probably a dozen dogs since she has been on her own, and she is only 21. If she wants another one, she will get it. She can get one from county AC for $10, or just have the next boyfriend buy her another BYB puppy. Me giving or not giving her this money isn't going to change that. I know the last two dogs before this one were a yorkie and a schnauzer puppy. Don't know what happened to them.

    Also, to be realistic, it's a purebred puppy. She can sell it. Sadly, it might be to the first person with the cash, who might be just as bad as she is. It's not like she has only the choice of sell it to me, or keep it. She can put an ad in the paper or put a flyer up, and sell it. She will get the money, one way or another, for it. I'd just rather see it go into a rescue than to the next person wanting a trendy breed.
