[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 753003, member: 18958"] That's hard to know. I will put it this way: Hypothetically, there could be health concerns. Or there could be concerns about the animal's welfare, caused by neglect. I think the decision to call and make a complaint needs to be made taking into account your grandmother's overall welfare, which would include her financial welfare, protecting her interests overall and her health and emotional well-being. And of course, there would be the question of alternatives. Where would she live and with who? But, I don't think this question has to be answered now. The question now is whether your grandmother's circumstances, rise to the level of abuse and neglect and what kinds of support she needs to live in safety and dignity. There are professional people that help families figure out care plans and to implement them. If your grandmother is living in squalor, and if she is being preyed upon, if she is being pressured to give up her prescribed medication, to a point where she is determined to be unsafe, it could be that she needs to be helped to reverse this. I have not been involved in this exact situation. But I would think that other family members could be called upon to care for your grandmother and/or her dog, on a temporary basis, until alternative housing and care situations were to be found. You and your father need to decide whether you think the situation has reached the level where the disruption to your grandmother's life would be better than are her present living circumstances; recognizing that this could well get much worse.
