| Found a Yorkie running down busy street on Memorial Day He was running super fast down a very very street. We pulled over and were able to corner him and gently took him into the car. He was lifeless. He would barely move. I was really worried so I took him to the emergency room. The vet told me that he is 2 years old and weighs 4 pounds. The vet gave him some liquids and pain meds. I have been searching for the owner everywhere and can not find him. The dog is so depressed. I took him to get his shots and to be groomed, in hopes that it would make him feel better. He seems to get excited when I get home, so I guess he is getting better. I'm worried about his poop since it is very liquidy and I am worried he is never going to get out of his depression. He doesn't play, doesn't chase any balls nor does he play with toys, he just likes tummy rubs and he sleeps a lot. He is trained to go on the pottypads which is great. I'm still not sure if I am going to keep him. I just can't believe his owner did not chip him, put a collar on him or put a tag on him. I'm slowly falling in love with the little guy... |

| Poor little guy : ( Why did the vet give him pain meds? He seems like his missess his family so much. i am glad you took him in and are taking such good care of him. I wonder where he came from? I hope he is going to be ok, and feel better soon. Has he been fixed? He is not microchipped? Nobody is missing him, have u checked CL?

| What a wonderful person you are to take this sweet baby into your home. I would be willing to bet that he is depressed because he is missing his family. Now that you have taken him on as your responsibility, you need to do everything in your power to try to find his owners. There are countless ways to attempt to find his owners. Place an ad in your local newspaper. Make up flyers for a FOUND yorkie. Place them all over the area that you found him as well as at all local vets offices and the local shelter. . Post a FOUND yorkie ad on Craigs list. Place flyers at the local grooming shops. I am sure his owners are frantically searching for him. Good luck in doing the right thing and finding his family

| maggiesmom_2007 - I see what you are saying...little guys like him can escape at any moment. I am frustrated with the owners because they haven't looked for him anywhere I have checked with the shelters, CL, and Findfido.com. mscat - Nope, he is not fixed and does not have a chip. I really hope he gets out of his funk, I kinda don't know what to do. Sunnie - I would love to make "FOUND" posters and post them where I found him, but here in Los Angeles, this little guy is worth a fortune. Since he is so small, I could probably get like $2,000 for him, even without papers. I thought that putting up FOUND posters would just make a lot of fakers come out and try to get him and it's going to be very hard to prove that he really belongs to them. I did go look to see if the owners put "LOST" posters up, and they did not. I checked to see if he was reported missing, and he isn't. It feel like no one is looking for him. To Everyone: Thank you for your kind words and warm welcome. |

| I am guessing that he is depressed because he is missing his family. His collar could have slipped off, and he could have run out the door. Make sure you do everything to reunite him with his family before you even think about keeping him. Imagine how you would feel if someone kept your pup and did not make any effort to find you I am glad you are taking good care of him!

Thor's Human Donating Member | It was exceedingly generous of you to take him to the vet and care for him the way you are doing. Good for you. Is it possible that he is lethargic because he is dehydrated from the diarrhea? I think this story demonstrates that everyone should get their dogs chipped, because you never know.
