No way this woman would have qualified. I try really hard not to judge by appearances, but if she had any kind of credit to use, I think she'd probably also have had teeth, instead of reeking (seriously, I could SMELL the rot in her breath) black-coated stubs.
Depends on the case. In this one, we took the $200 and told her she needs to pay the rest off by the end of the month (total bill was less than $300, so she did cover most of it), and hope, but expect that we'll be sending her to collections. Legally, we CAN keep the dog. But that's such a sucking mess, you know? I don't want a nippy little bitch-dog, and charging her for boarding for the time we keep the dog is just more bill and expense on our part that we're unlikely to see back.
