| Any advice on finding a new home for pet? I need to find a new home for our chihuahua. He is becoming a huge handful and doesn't really listen to females as much as men. Since I'm the one whose home the most, I end up spending half my day trying to catch him when he sneaks out and trying to make sure he doesn't nip at the kids. Do any of you have ideas on how to go about selling him? Like where to post, etc.? Thanks! |

| The best situation would be to find a chihuahua or small breed rescue in your area and allow them to rehome him... they are experienced in finding new homes and know what they are looking for. Otherwise, you can post on a local board like craigslist but you need to screen potential homes very carefully, ask for vet references, ask if they own their home, if not contact their landlord to make sure they are allowed to have pets. Hopefully others will have more advice, good luck.

| You can post him in the Rescue/Rehome forum here but he needs to be under $300 to qualify. My other suggestion would be to find a reputable rescue willing to take him and find him an appropriate home. There are Chi Rescues that would even be willing to work with him to make him into a much better pet. Is he neutered? That is something that you should consider before placing him into a new home. There is always the potential that he could be used for breeding in a mill and you sure don't want that to happen. Take a look here. There is also a sticky at the top of the Rescue Forum about rehome with tips. Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

| Thanks. I really hate to do this, but there is no other option. It's in the best interest of our family. We will still have our yorkie, she is a little angel! |
