So true...and my first Yorkie to Foster, was due to the economy & unemployment for his owner.
Rocky's owner, was a long distance truck driver who actually took all 4 of his Yorkies on the road with him...until he lost his job before Christmas.
Out of all 4 of his little brood, Rocky had health issues...Bladder Stones and needed surgery and he needed it now. So, I give his owner credit for doing the right thing and turning to a Rescue Group specifically for Yorkies (YTNR) and surrendering him.
He's had his surgery and is recuperating, thanks to Lifeline 4 Paws who made his surgery possible!
In the meantime, I'm fortunate enough to be able to provide for his recuperation time and getting him back on the road to recovery so, that he'll soon be on his way to a new home that will be able to afford his care should it ever become necessary again...crossing fingers it won't!
