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

198. I know dogs, had them all my life. Show dogs, big dogs, little dogs, feral

dogs, hunting dogs, house dogs, yard dogs. I spent more than 10 years working with Animal Control and have been around, had, handled, owned, adopted, fostered, saved, put down, rescued, re-homed, kept, and gave away allllllll types of animals from effing Wide Rhinos, Snow Leopards and penguins, to mice, cats, dogs and hissing cockroaches, tarantulas and snakes and lizards, all. my. life. since I was a little kid. I won't even bother listing the farm animals.

I know animals, and I specialize in dogs. He's fine, he's a dog. No, it's not optimal being in a crate for most of the day, but he's safe for now. He's not being abused, he has food, water and shelter. The sentiment here is the same as the people who call Animal Control when they see a homeless dude living on the street with their dog. If the animal is not being neglected or abused, there is nothing AC can do. This is the same for Yoshi, and he's in a much better place than tied to a shopping cart right now.

Of course TTW is mentally ill. Are her actions those of a rational person? Would her social worker have tried to sneak her into a mental health facility if she were a balanced and functioning person? My brother was a schizophrenic, and I've studied abnormal psychology and read enough to recognize the basic symptoms. None of her actions are those of a person 'making bad choices'. They're the actions of a person in the paranoid schizophrenic spectrum. Sane enough to know she's nuts, but nuts enough to be incapable of seeking effective treatment on her own.

Even debating the existence of her mental illness/personality disorder is ridiculous, it's so very evident.
