I know you really want the dog... but I say, because of the costs, Pass on it.
Basically, tell them right now you can't afford it, and as much as you want the guy, it's pointless for you to shell out tons of money for a dog that might not even make it. It's not really fair to you, and you should say you're sorry they had to pay for a vet trip.

Honestly, if those people are really your friends, they should understand (And also shouldn't force you to pay a vet bill for a dog that isn't even yours yet ... I mean, technically -as horrible as this sounds- they didn't have to take him to the vet, they made that choice -likely because you wanted to adopt him- and they really shouldn't charge you for that, imho)

Worry about paying rent, don't worry about a dog. There will always be more animals ... right now I think you have enough in the way of animals, I know you love them dearly, and you need to focus on paying your rent, forgo the dog. I know it'll hurt, but seriously, think of your future. Remember that you're an adult now and have to make certain sacrifices, including giving up things you really want. You paying rent right now should be your priority, not paying for a dog that isn't even really yours.

In a different time -say like if you were currently working- I'd be more than happy to help you find people to commission you or donate money to you to pay for a vet bill on this dog, but your rent is what's important now. And I wouldn't want you to fork out that much money, for a dog who might not even live... -hugs- I think that would break your heart too much anyway (You've had enough doggie death in the last couple of years...)

it wasn't my friend it was his Wife that was causing the problems , she was basically guilt tripping me all morning saying i had to pay even tho it was under her house and it was still technically her dog , because i never signed anything stating he was mine , i just feel like shit due to him suffering because they wouldnt put him down due to the 250$ bill that was already there and she didn't come prepared with any money even tho with selling the puppies they are suppose to be going to the vet for thier first shots , basically animal neglect because 1 lead paint is illegal 2 shes not even watching them

Well. .. since you didn't sign anything, you're not obligated to pay her shit.
Also, if it keeps up, I know the guy is your friend ... but if the wife harasses you any more over it, call animal protection.

Yeah I know , they are divorcing so he's on my side with all this

Oh, do it anyway XD then maybe you can still get the dog from free from Animal Services

Dog is sick and probably put down by now his treatment would have been 1000+ dollars , so I doubt I'd be able to get him , his sister is sold to someone else already..

-high pitched whistle- Daaaaayum

Yep hench why I feel like shit because they WOULDNT put him down until the bill was paid ( 250$) so they were having him suffer , I don't know what the girl did cause she nor I had no money , so I don't know if he is still alive or not

dude

Yep

i'm so sorry to hear all this and if i could help i would :c the poor puppy, what happened to him to make him sick and cause the vet bill in the first place? if the people haven't had you sign anything then the dog is not your responsibility but i understand why you'd want him so bad... I honestly have to say concentrate on your rent and another dog will come along for you to love some day, but i also understand that's not the easiest thing for you to hear right now :c let me know if you need me to put up a signal boost journal for you and i'll do what i can. I wish you the best and you are in my thoughts.

well first off hes my dogs son and looked like is grandpa which we owned also so that was also the driving reason for me wanting him because last year i had lost bailey ( heffys dad) and now i lost heffys son oakley B

well one the house they're in is HORRIBLE for puppies not really clean nor are there playpens to keep them in one area so they would hid under the couch and more ect

anyways
i was told it had probably gotten into lead paint which is illegal , so they as they rent could sue the homeowner , he was having uncontrollable seziues , i basically told the friends wife to fuck off so i dont know what happened to him now for all i know hes been put down

i'm so sorry :c *hugs you up* poor thing. They should have the authorities on them for trying to sell such neglected animals. it sounds like they were trying to extort you for vet bills. I'm sorry you couldn't get your puppy.. if you ever need to talk you know how to reach me. :c i hope you feel better soon...

I feel a bit better but I know it will haunt me for a little while cause I have photos of all the puppies
