I emailed the person and they emailed me back, being that it was on craigslist I am not sure if its real or not.. This is the add: Foster/furever home needed for a rescued yorkie!! And this is what she said back to me: Hello Deanna, Thank you so much for your interest in fostering Hope. I independently rescued this little girl about 1.5 months ago and I need to find someone to foster her asap. I'm a student and a new quarter has started and I have two of my own dogs. I really appreciate your willingness to help. I will need someone to foster her until she finds her forever home. When will you be able to start fostering? Below is the "application" to foster her. Once you have complete it, simply email it back to me. After I receive it, I will contact you regarding the next step. Thanks!, Jen Hope's Fostering Application Thank you for volunteering to foster!

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I've seen that pup before! The rescue is legit. It's Jennxling. Here is her other thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ever-home.html

| I'm not familiar with this particular group, but those are legitimate questions that rescues ask those who apply to foster/adopt. The big thing I see missing is her asking for your veterinary references. Most rescues insist on confirming that info on anyone who applies.

She was recently complaining about another rescue and said she would rescue on her own. That is not a simple task. And, to top it off, she listed the pup in the sale forum??? Personally, I would never foster for an individual. Too many questions here imho.

My problem in all of this is that this is an individual...not an established rescue. I would never give my information out to someone that I met on the internet like that.

| OMG this is the pup she is trying to sell on the Yorkies For Sale Forum. If she rescued this one, cannot help but wonder why put it in another foster home??? The next home for that poor darling I would hope would be her furever home. OMG...and seriously, listing it on Craig's List? This makes me so sad.

Also, if you were fostering her and she needed medical care, how is that going to be handled??? I have never heard of Yorkies & Friends Rescue. I guess she just made the name up. While she is trying to help this girl, like LadyJane say's there are still too many unanswered questions since it's not a legit rescue group.

I did not see that name.....but maybe she IS now with a rescue? She had said she was rescuing on her own. I would be very surprised that any rescue would allow their pups to be listed for sale on a forum...and for a placement through CL. But...anything is possible.
