@westcoastflea1 Like is said, a troll. You are a liar and delusional. As I said, I hope RC track you down and sue you so hard you bounce. BRAT obviously need to vet their fosters better. Given your statements, BRAT should take the dog back immediately and find him a responsible foster.

“They will take Declan citing negligence” Let’s hope so. Now you claim you have had the dog for ten years.

“It is clear that you have no grasp of the facts read a label honey you want to feed your child powdered cellulose, chicken meal corn meal corn grits rice powder and wheat gluten and call it healthy? be my guest. Royal canine is the one that makes these recipes and calls them healthy”

The food is made to help reduce the weight of overweight dogs. Not all powdered cellulose comes from wood. Far from your claim that “they want me to feed Declan sawdust”.
The statements that RC is sawdust is irrefutably false. What is not healthy is over feeding your dog until they are 20lbs overweight.

Done with you, keep posting your lies and then deleting them all you want.

None of this is useful in terms of helping the dog. Maybe just let it go and concentrate on whatever action may produce positive results? A "go fund me" might be helpful. Any other suggestions someone might offer that I haven't thought of might be helpful. Venting has a place, but repeating the same arguments over and over won't accomplish anything except to feed anger.

i explained to her that Declan is a service dog for me, due to PTSD,

Declan is not a service dog. Declan is a foster dog that you were obligated to socialize, train, and assess so that he could find a 'forever home' through adoption. If Declan has behavior and health issues, they need to be addressed by professionals. Period.

If you think you need a service dog, please go through the proper channels to get one. It is unfair for you to abuse the generosity of BRAT donors because you feel like you cannot afford a dog of your own.

IMHO, I think the best thing any of us can do is contact BRAT and let them handle it.

@elbrant “IMHO, I think the best thing any of us can do is contact BRAT and let them handle it.”

I agree and already done, they are aware.

I also have to say, you are much more eloquent at voicing my thoughts than I am!

Declan is a service dog sorry, I have a letter from my doctor saying he is an emotional support for me

I'm under the impression that you are supposed to "own" your emotional support dog, which you don't. Perhaps you failed to let this "doctor" know that little detail?

If you think i want anything to do with BRAT you are insane.

You don't want anything to do with BRAT? What? As long as they keep spending money on "your support dog"?

I understand that you are under a lot of stress, but you come across like you will say or do anything as long as it means you get to keep Declan. I'm not sure how much of what you say is truth and how much is a cry for help. I think the only thing you've accomplished is to demonstrate that this is an unhealthy situation, for you, and for Declan.

I've already contacted BRAT regarding your posts. There really isn't anything else to say.

I wish you could hear yourself... you are attacking me because (why?)... because I reminded you that you do not own this dog? Do you honestly think that it doesn't matter? How can you expect anyone to pay for your dog's healthcare, meds, food, etc? And you do think Declan is your dog. You've only said it 100 times! But, he's not your dog. Remember? Declan is a foster dog. That's why he was put in your care. Declan was never meant to stay in your home for this long.

You have listed 3 different health problems for Declan, weight fluctuations (ranging from Anorexic to 20+ pounds overweight) over the past four years, and at least one (emotional) problem of your own. Then you write:

@westcoastflea1 said in Brat Rescue and Transport; How they really treat rescues:

Declan is anxious and insecure,

Do you think that's healthy for him? Dogs that are in a healthy environment are not anxious and insecure. They are confident, relaxed, and generally happy. How can I not be concerned when you say things like this?

You have no proof that Declan is going to be put down if he leaves your care. It shouldn't cost $150/month to feed Declan. And you won't need 30#s of Chicken Breast every month. All of these exagerations and imagined outcomes are unrealistic.

BRAT asked you to make a decision on how you want to move forward. Do you want to keep Declan? Then sign the release and keep him. Stop whining about not having enough money to pay for him. If you want to keep him that bad, figure out how to get the money to pay for what he needs.

Otherwise you should return Declan to BRAT's care. Let them put him in another foster home for observation and assessment. When you are ready for a dog, financially and emotionally, I'm sure one will come your way.

@debradownsouth said in Brat Rescue and Transport; How they really treat rescues: That should have been the only focus from the start... how to help the dog. :(

None of the back and forth accusatory comments have been helpful for the dog. Trying to apportion blame while the house is burning down isn't the smartest course of action. I again suggest it isn't useful to keep taking shots at one another. Why post if you don't have a positive solution to offer? And since none of us have walked in this poster's shoes, it seems pretty harsh to judge her. A bit of empathy might be nice for a change.

I can only imagine the agony I would be in if I didn't have the means to help my dog and the only alternative was to give him up to an uncertain future.
