Without getting into lots of details: we took the dog to the animal shelter. I'm very sad to lose this dog, but I cannot deal with the animal cruelty reports that were placed against us. We were not being cruel to the dog, but Baltimore County requires you to have a shelter for the dog, and I cannot safely provide that for the dog. I also feel that Biscuit will find a good home at the pound because she is so happy and fun-loving.
I'm also looking for a way to find a home for the dog in the next couple days. I will do what I can, and I believe Rob said that he will help do what he can, to get this dog a home. We will keep track of the time she is there and if a home hasn't been found, we will most likely pay the adoption fee to get her back and then pursue whatever options we need to. But at this point, we can't keep the dog wihtout being fined by animal control.
While I have faith Biscuit will find a good home, I am still sad to see the chain of events end this way.
