If you definitely can't stay in your current place, how about asking new landlord if you can keep Echo, but agree that you'll pay for any damage - have photographic evidence before you move in - and you'll have the carpets professionally cleaned when you
move out? Gotta be worth a try? Or make current landlord a tasty cake and tell her you're staying and so is echo.

I actually bought a bloody carpet cleaner for current abode, am trying to make arrangements to repair a step
she and the other dog tore up outside, and have offered to replace the carpet in the living room.

I can definitely understand where she's had to deal with a lot with the dogs and such, but to be fair, I've done more help than damage and it seems the other tennant is content to tear the place up.

I'm just thinking if she wants an excuse to get rid of you or if new landlord wants an excuse to not take you on then it'd most likely be because of her.
It's good that you've preempted this stuff already though. How about going down the cake/bacon route until she's in a better mood? The other tenant sounds like a bit of a twat tbh

she really really is, it feels like I'm being punished for her lack of responsibility
but oh well, life goes on
I'll do what I have to, and it'll probably be better in the long run anyway
