Anybody in or near Erwin, Tennesee? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Britster · 11-10-2009, 01:39 PM

Some of you may know, I've been searching and searching for a brother for Jackson.

I've found so many good dogs on PetFinder.com, a few of them being a bit far away. I've also been researching puppies and breeders, but in my heart, I do feel like I should rescue.

Does anyone live near Erwin, TN? And would be willing to check out this dog for me?
Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: Harley: Petfinder

It would mean A LOT to me! In the mean time, I am going to e-mail them and find out more info, but I'd like first hand experience with him from a fellow YT'er

It would be nice if I do find out he's a good match, or they email me back, approve me, whatnot, if a "train" could get going to get him to me. He's about 8 hours away from me according to Mapquest. Obviously, this is all thinking far advance, but I wanted to see if anyone was willing.

He looks cute

Where is Erwin? We have lots of YT Tennessee members in east TN. Is it close to Knoxville? or Chattnooga?

It says it's 1hr and 58 mins from Knoxville, and 3 hours and 40 mins from Chattanooga.

If you could lead me to the right ppl to ask, that would help me out!

It is between Johnson City and Ashville. Erwin is found in extreme NE Tennessee.

I just googled a map. Erwin is on the North Carolina - Tennessee border. Someone from NC might be able to help better than someone in TN.

Did you post on the regional board too?

I live in Erwin Tn. I am about 5 miles from the shelter. I will make some calls and see what I can find out, if you would?

Thank you so much, I will let you know!

Well because of the holiday they are closed, but forgetting it was a holiday I drove by. They have inmates that do the cleaning. One let me in and he is there. He was dropped off on Monday in the drop off box with a note. His family was moving and could not take him. He is 2yrs old and weight is about 10-12ibs I'm guessing. Not for sure on that part. They said he likes to go outside to potty. He seem to be very friendly. He would stand on his back legs and wave with both of his front paws. It was the cutest thing ever.
