The owner can't afford a specific medical procedure and surrendering the dog to a rescue is the only option at this point.

As a person who works with a rescue in that case as stated
the owner can not afford to provide medical care for the dog and is willing to surrender the dog to rescue so they can pay for the medical care the dog would no be returned to the owner.
If the owner can not afford to provide proper medical care for the dog the dog deserves to be placed with someone who can afford to care for it.

maybe. if the person talks to the rescue people before hand, they might be willing to work out like a payment program... for instance if they need an expensive procedure but just cant afford it right now but could make payments, they might be able to work something out... most times though the rescues when they take in an animal that needs an expensive treatment, they have found a person who is willing to 'sponsor' the animal and that person pays for the treatment...so needless to say, that person gets attatched to the animal and will want to keep it after the procedure is done. What is the procedure? Have they tried calling different vets? I know alot of times if you keep calling you can find a vet who understands and would take payments... a friend of mine here took in a puppy who eneded up needing icu and got a leg and foot amputated and got through parvo, and the vet they used is letting them pay it out

If I were in this situation I would ask a rescue for assistance with the medical bills because they are too costly. Some groups may help in order to avoid having to take in a pet.
Also if the pet is too ill to be adopted later they may end up euthanizing.
I would also try talking to the vet to work out a payment plan.

Most rescue groups will not return a pet under those circumstances. Why would they??? If the owner does not have money for care now, why would they in the future?? Who is going to return a pet in hopes that they will??????

i think torbaynew is totally right wat proof or guarantee does the animal shelter have knowing that the owner will have money from now on.and if he doesn't wat then he's just gonna return him to the shelter and get him back when he finds another job.its like he's gonna have the shelter pet sit him or something.like okay i have the money now so i want my dog back.oops sorry i ran out of money so u take care of him until i find another job and then i'll come get him.its not fair to the dog.he is being treated like garbage.i say that the owner should never get the dog back and he shouldn't even have the nerve to ask for the dog back.

NOPE!
Surrender is PERMANENT & IRREVOCABLE
They can't palm off the responsibility & costs to anybody else & then change their mind.

I do not think so..he can go and ask for help or some sort of coupon or discount, sometimes they do low cost clinics maybe that helps :-)
