Aly, something has been bugging me about the boarding kennel and the woman who owned the mother of the pups.

She can just do this......say, I don't want the pups - dump them?
Is she not held financial responsible in any way? (she has an extra $3,000. now right?).

Many people including yourself are going the extra mile for these babies....and it seems your shelter should be compensated in some way.

Is this woman a professional breeder? I would think it would be handy if the word got out about her.

Also, if the mother is so valuable, why aren't these pups valuable too? Or was the father from "out of town"?
