Will dogs admitted to rescue organizations for health issues be killed or treated and given for adoption? General Dog Discussions
We have a 2 year old terrier we rescued from a puppy mill four months ago and who we discovered yesterday, after many vet visits for her limping, has a fractured femur needing surgery. The surgery is estimated to cost between $3000 and $3500. We love this dog but given we've already spent over $1,000 on shots, meds, exrays, spaying, chipping -- this is more than our fixed income budget can handle. Can we bring this dog to a rescue and expect them to treat her injuries and ready her for another adoption? She is obviously in pain since she uses the limb sparingly and we don't want her to suffer, but she's such a great dog, we wouldn't want to think she'd be killed either. Help. We are torn as to what do do!Just to be clear, this dog was taken off the street where she'd been seen running for a month, flea infested and mangy. We did not pay anyone for her other than to treat her issues.
