Is it okay to take my alcoholic mother's dog away from her?
Why would you do such a thing to your mother?
She dumped the dog on me and I'm keeping him until she gets clean.
She was wrong for dumping her pet on you. It is wise to keep him with you until your mom gets better.
I've had him for over a year now so I'm keeping the dog.
You did the right thing and your new dog will be happier with you. Help your mom to get better and go through the steps she needs to get off of her addiction.
