(33,982 posts)It's simply not going to work. She is not making rational decisions. She is setting herself up for failure. I wouldn't say intentionally, but that will be the net result. She needs a conservator to make decisions on her behalf, and likely, professional medical help. This is not a 'simple' case of hard financial times. That much is brutally clear.
If one actually loves a pet, one must do right by it. She isn't. She's treating it like a comforting piece of property, as if it doesn't have intrinsic living traits of its own. Dozens have already spoken to the difficulties with providing for that type of dog, so I'm not going to echo.
Send money if you wish, if you feel it is right. I predict it is futile, until there is someone in the picture tasked/trusted by TTW to make decisions on her behalf, mental health care, or both appointed by a judge. Till then, adding cash is, in my opinion, not helping anything, and might actually serve to extend the misery.
If that dog lashes out at a single human, the outcome for TTW will be far worse than any suffering that might have been coupled to placing that dog in a new home permanently, even against her current wishes.
