Logan,
I just went to the Golden board and it seems that there is some hope for sweet Peanut. Some possible adopters plus many people offering help with transportation. Lets hope she'll find her forever home soon.
I've given up asking "how can some people do anything like this, leaving a dog behind." Doing the work I do for YGRR, I hear too many similar stories As one of the members of YGRR said: "Half of the human race stinks, but there is the other half that is willing to help a dog in need."
I'll keep checking the Web site to find out how Peanut is doing and praying for her.
