    Help with recommendations - moving my elderly mother out of Argentina and overwhelmed by the process

    So sorry to hear of your crisis. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must be. I can't help with much of what you need, but I have a friend with a rescue dog, and I'm waiting to hear where the sanctuary is where she adopted it. I promise to get back to you as soon as I find out. Sending hugs.

    Yes, Richard, they are unbearably useless. How were you able to contact them? By email? (I can't even find their email address) Was your problem eventually resolved? If so, how? Thanks!
