Update on TTW and Yoshi

[bettyellen]

151. If you go back to the first two threads- February and March I think? Others here googled dozens of

sources of nearby help and sent her links, phone numbers and addresses, both posting and in PMs.
Except for the free legal services she used to try to fight her landlord, she seems not to have availed herself of any of them. She complained there were too many posts on the thread and she couldn't read them all. And stressed needing money. Someone had to point her to a food panty within a mile of her house after a couple of months, but she said it was too far and needed money for gas. She still has access to this info. Hopefully she is signed up for some relief money, and will not push things with her new landlord and create another crises because she does need an address. He wants rent, and does not want Yoshi, so again- this is very unstable for them both now.

For some reason she said she was supposed to be signed up for housing (and blamed someone for the snafu) but we all know the real reason is that they cannot let her bring Yoshi. So she never fixed that and signed up for housing. No need to blame social services for that one, but she did.

There are tons of groups of Akita owners if she would try and work with them and agree for a temp foster- people do it all the time for pregnant or terminally ill pets, etc. The thing is they do care about animals and may not agree to her terms- getting him back even if she has no place to bring him and she herself presents in a frightening state. They will not want to get involved with someone who is combative and a poor caregiver as well who will demand the dog back on a whim. She needs to pull it together and know that as heartbreaking as it is, doing all of this totally "on her own terms" is not going to happen. In Britain, it could, but not in America.
