You are not listening. This dog clearly has little to no prospects of finding a better home in the area. The risks of rehoming the dog are greater than the risks of keeping the dog where it is and getting it to the vet as soon as is possible. Take your blinkers off and try to read what this girl is saying. It sounds very clear to me that the dog is already in a home where its going to get the best possible care it can get. It may not be what you or I could do, but it sure as heck is everything this girl can do.
Dog in alot of pain.

I'm listening (or rather reading) quite well.
I know several people and rescues throughout SC that I could call or e-mail, who says the home has to be in her area? Would it matter if the home was an hour away?
No, it's not my dog and it's something I could never do to one of my dogs; so she can make the decision on what's best for HER dog. I would be more than happy to help her, but if she chooses not to do it, it's something I'm not going to loose sleep over, but I will continue to feel sorry for the dog.

She is a mixed breed though by looking at her she's mostly chow. Her mother was also a mutt so I can't be certain what she has in her. I am not going to rehome her because I don't think it's necessary. She's going to the vet the day after tomorrow and she's going to be seen and I even guilted my mother's fiansce into helping me pay if it goes over the amount I've managed to acquire. She does not need to be rehomed. I am taking care of her. She will be treated if I have to kill someone for it. Rest assured jdthepug that my dog will get treated. It's not your dog, you don't know me or her and it's frankly none of your **** business. I'm taking care of my dog because of my love for her and nothing you say can change that. No matter how much you try to pester me and nag me it won't change a thing. She'll go to the vet, I'll treat what she has if it kills me and I'll never come back here again.
You also need to make up your mind. Are you more concerned about my dog or me? I would like to know. First you rant and rave and pitch a fit very akin to that of a toddler's about how I should rehome her and I should think of the dog first but then you say this. Prior to this event I was focusing on getting out on my own. That's why I went and got my GED. So I could get a job and move out. Trust me. Every person in this house aside from my grandfather (cause he's stuck for life) are trying their hardest to escape this hell hole. She drove my Mama out into an abusive home when she was 16, forcing her to get pregnent on purpose so she'd be able to marry. The woman has psychologically scarred everyone around her. We are definently trying to escape that you can be sure of.
Thank you very much to the people who actually seem to understand the situation. I will come back here one last time the minute I find out what's wrong with her and let you know what's going on. But until then I'm not coming back here and I will not respond to any posts made after this one (unless it angers me enough or it's not completely meaningless and repeatitive).

Get Ganddad power of attourney and have Gandma comitted, put her in a home and the fearfull can rejoice. Get the law on your side and slap her in a home, if she was that mean make it a half a$$ed home, the kind that mixes the oxygen tanks with propane. The kind of home that uses a presure washer instead of giving sponge baths and bed pans. The kind of home that sells the patients perscriptions to junkies on the streets and hands out sugar tablets at med time.
Dont threaten us with not coming back unless we pi$$ you off enough to reply. If you arent going to reply any more dont, control yourself and not let others dictate your actions.

I wouldn't use the word "concerned" but sorry for. Yes - I feel sorry for everyone in the home.. and I will respond to your PM.
How did I "rant and rave and pitch a fit very akin to that of a toddler's about how you should rehome her?" I offered you (or your dog actually) help, yes I think you SHOULD rehome her, not going to lie.. but whatev
btw, how the heck can ANYONE make you get pregnant unless it's rape?
aww blue

I think that there is more involved here than we can help with except to support the OP .... I personally feel that there will be a vet visit. As to " family life " , if she wants support there, she'll post in another thread under Fire Hydrant. Let's stick to the issue and not drive anyone away. PMs should NOT be shared here !! It's like in grade school when you whispered a secret to a friend and said " don't tell " .....next thing you know it's all over the school and each report is embellished 100 fold ! Come on folks !! Think before you post !

OP keeps falling for the bait of those with ill intentions (or the one's that feel the need to bug the pi$$ out of her about rehoming). She's bringing the dog to the vet. If the dog needs immediate medical attention (that she can't pay for) or it will die...then I guess the dog will die. It could have heartworms, intestinal worms and a UTI (or sepsis by then) all in one. We don't know. As for her business being our business - if she didn't want everyone to know and comment she should have kept her mouth shut. Obviously she's PMing people and thinking they won't reply and they are. Maybe she'll tell us how the dogs doing, maybe not. Either way, if she didn't want differing opinions and suggestions then her and her brother shouldn't have posed the question in the first place.
TO THE OP - If you are willing to walk to work, and work, in this heat why not walk an extra couple miles to another town. There are 3 towns called Greenwood in S.C. One is near Sumter (large enough town to find a job), one is surrounded by smaller towns (Blakedale - NORTH, Sheffield - WEST, New Market - SOUTH and Wade Heights - EAST *all furthest points in each direction from Greenwood* ) the last one is the smallest, but still surrounded by at least 4 other towns within 5 miles. I'm sure, if you looked hard enough, you could find someone in another town that you could work for doing an odd job or two for vet money. Laurens is 26 miles from 2 of the Greenwoods in S.C. Find a ride to town, get a job, get a ride to and from work from a co-worker (explain the situation) and pay them gas money. All are viable options.

Our dog has been taken to the vet and was treated. It was nothing for such extreme measures as shooting her. I suggest you stave away from suggesting such measures. I hope that you all will stop suggesting pet owners shoot their pets. Our dog is fine now.
Sorry I didnt see that post. The vet said she was constipated and gave her an enima. She's doing perfectly fine now. Im glad to see people caring about animals, it just seems you have some extreme fanatics here. We let them keep her over night to let them clean up after her and everything untill they're done and we'll pick her up in the morning, but they assured us she will be fine.
It isnt that we didnt want differing opinions, they're fine, but we didnt want to be attacked either. None of you were here, and none of you knew exactly what was going on with our dog, so how is that any of you knew that shooting her was the best option? Opinions are fine, suggestions of violence comming from people who are supposed to be caring about animals is not. It seems to me alot of you decided to jump on the shooting wagon rather quickly. Especially since she turned out to have nothing seriously wrong with her. The suggestions of violence on our dog is was disturbed us, not your opinions. I was perfectly fine with the suggestions of giving her to someone who could take her to the vet, but we werent sure if we could get the money together yet. We were not trying to be rude, but some of the members here might as well have labled us as dog abusers from the get go, and thats not fair.
None-the-less, our dog is fine, and did not need to be shot. I hope you all will lean away from that suggestion from now own unless you know for a fact whats going on.

I'm very glad that nothing seriously wrong is going on with your pup!
It has been pointed out many times though that the shooting suggestion was merely faecetious and intended as a measure of how serious a problem your dog could have had. It's quite admirable to hear about the measures you have taken to provide vet care and I applaud you for those. We have had others come on the board with similar circumstances but without the happy ending.

It realy is a good thing you posted here, Im not sure if you posted elsewhere but there are forums that are very much more unrefined or more extreme than we are.
Im glad your dog was easily helped with treatment as she was.
I feel you made your dogs problems sound more serious in your initial post then they actualy where in retrospect, and I can see how that would be easy to do, and I am glad things worked out for you your family and your dog..

Thats fine, but if you're going to saying something as a suggestions mean it and not something else.
As far as her symptoms, I said exactly what was happening. If you took it as more so thats your fault and not mine. She was in pain and couldnt use the bathroom, and thats what I posted. Its fine to be concerned but dont go to extremes, it was definatly not called for in this case.
bubbatd I dont fault you for being concerned. I fault you for suggesting extreme measures were they werent needed. I understand that her problem may have been something serious, and we had already discussed giving the dog up if we couldnt get the money, so the comments werent necessary. If you dont mean what you say, dont say it.
Please dont use other places as an example of how "un"extreme you are. Extreme measures (aka violence) should be a last resort when dealing with a life period, and using other places as a kop-out to the fact that several members here wanted to shoot a dog (meant that way or not, those were the words used, as im not a mind reader thats the way I took it..) for being constipated is not justified in the least. Im sorry if I sound rude but its the truth.
I thank Red_ACD_for_me for the PM and concern (im sorry I didnt get back to you by the way) and for the other few who had truly helpfull comments. As for the rest of you, im sorry the staff here has to deal with your fanatical rhetoric.
This is my last post here as im not here to fight with you all over what you meant and what you said, you should mean what you say so that in the future you wont have problems like this. Just think, you all could have had me kill my dog over constipation.
...Try to say what you mean from now on, im sure you do alot more harm than good otherwise, as we were only here for your opinions on what could be wrong, and instead were attacked and belittled by a majority of the posters in this thread.
Im sorry that some of you took my initial post wrong, and im sorry that some of you viewed me in the wrong light, but those are not my faults, and I had nothing but my dogs well-being in mind. Im sure none of you would have shot or given you dog up over constipation.
Good-bye.

The "shooting" comment was made in regards to IF the dog had UTI it would be more humane instead of letting it suffer outside without vet care. No one was actually suggesting the dog be shot. Especially before you got it to the vet.
*Some people take things so literally.* Ask if you have a concern about what is actually meant before getting hysterical about it.
JMO though.
Glad the pup was only constipated and that it was nothing worse.
