 Call PETA.  They will come out and parade around in the nude and throw red paint on people.

It won't help, per se.  But it will amuse you.

 This.  :D

I don't have to get involved at all.  I told the lady how to get the dog back by adopting it.  She will just have to have a friend or family member do it.  That's a lie.  My issue comes in where hers leaves off.  There is a person posing as a rescue and there are several wrongs with that.  Someone just needs to point them out to the right places and that's part of what I do.

 I don't see how it's a lie given the sequence of events.  She gave it up to the "rescue", right?  I don't how it's a lie to go back to the rescue and say that you want to adopt the dog.

I take it she already tried that. :D 

The lady went back to the so-called rescue right away and asked for the dog back.  She was told the adoption fee was $100.  The lady had just given her $100 the day before to pay for vet expenses.  No vetting had been done so the lady was unprofessional with her.  The so-called rescue person then told her to eff off.  So I guess they were both unprofessional.  It is lying because I told her how to get around that.  I am not usually a shady type and I follow rules.  They were both wrong.  Morally, I think the woman should get the dog back and the $100.  Legally, she messed up and it's not hers anymore.  She should've done her homework BEFORE handing it over.

 *considers*

Hm...is telling her to get a friend to adopt it a lie...I suppose if it does end up back in the finder's hands...

Meh.  I'd play the game myself.  I blame my time as a paralegal for dulling my conscience.

 Step away from them cookies, blackguard, er I'll have yer guts for garters.

 Which reminds me, it's time to watch Hocus Pocus.

I love the movie, bu it will make me a bit sad.  We named out cat Binx after Binx in the movie and we had to put her down in December.  This will be the first Halloween since 1994 that I won't have her curled up on the couch with me as we watch.

*sigh*
