If she’s actually sent Martha to the The Red Foundation that’s not what I expected. I thought Tan had rehomed Martha, not sent her to a charity!
Looking at the website, a lot of those poor lovely daxxies are rescued from abusive homes or from people who can’t look after them anymore. What’s Tan’s excuse? She’s minted, it’s not like she couldn’t afford to look after/feed/insure Martha anymore. She certainly has the time to walk her and/or pay for someone else to take her for a walk (or get Kate to do it). Honestly, other than changing her mind on the lifestyle she wants I don’t think Tan has a good excuse for getting rid of Martha.
When you get a dog, it’s a big commitment. I totally understand when someone loses their job or their home or has no choice to move to rented accommodation and can’t take dogs but that isn’t this. I’m sorry her marriage broke down and the dog was in the middle of that but it’s not like Tan has lost her entire income or has been made homeless and had to give her dog up.
