| Is It Me Or??? Are ppl just stupid? I find it very aggravating when I see an ad that says..desperatley needs to find a home. I cant take care of it anymore and I call and they want 500.00 and wont even talk about going down alittle to find a really good home. I would provide a great home for a nother fur baby and I find it stupid that ppl look at money so much instead of the welfare of an animal. Is it just me that feels this way?? mad: |

| I dont think it is wrong for people to ask a little bit to cover the shots the dog has had. When they overprice them I think they just put themselves at a disadvantage because most people will just get a puppy instead.

| I think some feel that if you can't come up with the $500.00 (which is probably a good price) then you might not be able to afford premium food and vet bills. I know when I was a landlord, my worst renters were those that I came down on the price for. After many years, I learned it was better to leave it empty a month, rather than go down on the rent. |

| I agree with you people need to think of the welfare of the animal first. IMO if you got the dog and can't take care of it then money shouldn't be an issue you need to be responsible and find a good home regardless. They may have to take a loss but it is what it is.

| I would say they're more interested in the money. Another type of ad I hate to see is when they're trying to give away or sell an elderly dog...they're moving and suddenly can't take him with them. It just makes me so angry that some people just want to dump a dog just because he got old...never considering what a shock it would be to the poor thing.

| This may sound crazy to some, but it's the God's honest truth...when I got Baby I paid $2300 for her. I lived in an apartment that didn't allow pets. I'd never had a dog, and honestly didn't know much about Yorkies. I told myself that if I couldn't "handle" having a dog, I was going to give her away to my friend Maria. I wasn't going to ask her for any money...even though she probably would have given me some anyway, b/c that's how she is. But, that's me. Man am I glad I learned a buttload about Yorkies and kept her.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I can't imagine having to "sell" or rehome my baby but IF I had no options I would try and find someone I knew or a forum like this and interview all interested parties and then decide. I would leave the price as negotiable and whne I found the right owner I would say No Charge just give her the best home.

Here's the part that makes me sick: She has received several phone calls from various men's voices saying that they had found her dog and that they were bringing it to her for the reward. Of course, none of the dogs were her dog, hers was a female and one guy even brought a male. As it turns out, some folks were stealing Yorkies from other peoples yards and taking them to this lady trying to pass them off to her as her dog, as if she couldn't tell! She would tell them that it wasn't her dog and then they would leave and they were just dumping these yorkies on the side of the highway! They didn't take them back to their own homes. Then this older woman starts calling the number in the ads and tells this lady that she has found several stray Yorkies around where she lives. Of course none of them were her little girl, but she did recognize some of the dogs as ones that these guys had previously brought to her house! Geeez, can you believe this? I didn't know about this until it was already over, so there wasn't anything I could do to help, but man that made me furious. I'm so glad that I never let my babies out of my sight, otherwise they may have stolen my babies!
