Everyone is being very harsh. In their defense, they're only doing this because they care about what happens to Casey. I think you have to do what's right for your family, but they want to make sure you do what's right for Casey, too. Everyone's just very concerned for him.

Regarding the emails, it is a good idea to ask for and adoption fee to ward off predators. Many dog fighters and other bad people will respond to "free" dogs for bait and such. Just an FYI.

Good luck to you, your family and Casey and keep us updated, please.
