I feel about the same as Lizbud that maybe this women had her own abuse and had no way to help the dog or dogs. I have never been in that situation but if that was the case she would know that Lolly is safe at last. This was brought up before about dumping pets and I remembered that someone said that sometimes the person who is being abused can only protect the pets by getting them out of the house anyway they can. But I wouldn't let her she Lolly in person.
