I was told that they would be happy to comply with both requests.
What I learned was that once they take possession of the item all bets are off they can do or not do whatever they want with the item. Sad in a way but I do not regret the donation. I tried to do a nice thing and what they do is completely on them.

Is it on display now or ever and if so was it labeled as being donated by your dog(I really like this being a dog person)?
