first off sry i didn't know if this topic went here or in the fire hydrant. it has to do with a dog but not really...
ok i have been helping a lot of my friend find dogs at shelters and they've all ended up really happy with the dogs i've helped find for them.
well one of them has been looking for a dog for quite awhile. she wants a small one because she lives in an apartment with her grandma. she came over last night to spend the night and go job hunting. she meet yoshi and fell in love with her. anyway after doing some job hunting we went to the animal shelter and the humane society. it was fun and of course we fell in love with a couple dogs. then there was this dog she wanted a lot. the thing is i don't think she should be getting a dog right now and i told her that.
i don't think it would be fair for her to get a dog right now seeing as she wouldn't have the money to care for it. and she doesn't have the energy to take the dog on walks... or outside to play. she wants a dog that looks unique and i can understand that but that shouldn't be why she picks a dog.
i told her that i would help her find a dog when i thought she was ready for one. but right now i didn't htink she was ready to own one. even though i told her that she still filled out the sheet at the humane society for a dog. i don't want to like start anything with her seeing as she is a friend i've had since middle school. but i don't want to see her getting a dog and it suffering becuase she wouldn't listen to reason. i need some advice on what to do. i wouldn't be worried, but the humane society doesn't do house checks and no where on the application did it ask if you had the money for a dog it just asks address and stuff like that and if you can own a dog where you live. would it be wrong for me to call them up and tell them what i know? i don't want her to have a dog AT ALL right now.

- she doesn't have a job
- her mom, who doesn't live with her, doesn't have a job
- she lives with her grandma
- she doesn't have money and wouldn't be able to afford food every week or vet care for shots or if an emergency happened
- and i'm not being mean, but she is not the most athletic person in the world, meaning to her she'd rather die than get up and go outside some times
