Is there anyone in the Philidelphia area that can help a DUer find housing for her and large dog?

16. Are you really that surprised that she is having trouble finding

housing for herself and her dog? I love dogs and cats and the ones taht I have are my babies but, if I were a landlord, I would not rent to this woman. I think that there are far too many liability issues, particularly if there is a good chance that the dog will feed off of her issues. TTW has absolutely nothing to recommend her as a tenant.

Several years ago I had a stepson who had emotional and maturity issues and was totally incapable of taking care of himself, even as an adult. His Dad had a job that required him to be gone a lot of the time leaving me to watch his son - like a hawk. I cannot tell you how many times I tried to talk to his Dad about what was going on with his son and he refused to see the reality of the situation. The son needed to be in some type of residential program where he could receive ongoing therapy, monitoring, and assisted in trying to reach the point where he could be self sufficient. I found him to be a total nightmare to deal with. You would not believe the stories I could tell you of the messes he got himself into. I finally had it with the whole situation and walked and it was the best decision that I ever made.

Having dealt, for an extended period of time, with someone with mental health issues, you can throw TTW all the lifelines that you want but that is not going to accomplish anything in the long run and may end up creating liability issues for those who help her if legal issues arise should Yoshi act out. Been there, done that, won't ever do it again.
