| This is SO HORRIBLE!! These yorkies are in the Knoxville/Chattanooga area. They are at a breeders, eaten up by the mange and who knows what else. They had to SNEAK into the breeders and snap these few pics of them. It's so sad I can't stand it. I e-mailed them because I live close to see if there's anything I can do in addition to making a donation. How can people do this?! Here's the link. If they can't get enough donations they won't be able to rescue these babies. The full story and pics are here: http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=6865654

| Well, getting the info here might help. Possibly bring in more donations. One question though, (and please everyone, take this the right way) how can we be sure this is legit??? I almost clicked the paypal button right away, and WILL donate, but does anyone know how to be certain this is for real? Does petfinder.com monitor the rescues that post there??? Bhoozersmama - can you shed more light on this?

| I'm going to find more details soon. Their p.o. box address is in Madisonville which is only about 10 miles from my house. I e-mailed them for more details and as soon as I get a reply I'll post it on here. You can NEVER be too careful when making donation to anyone. I hope that since I'm so close I can do something to get them the care they need. Maybe an adoption will come out of it too.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm sorry but that's BULL that they need donations to rescue them. THE pictures are enough for the ASPCA to step in and take those poor dogs. I had a neighbor who had a dog that was suffering horribly in the hot sun 2 years ago with 1/3 of his skin just raw (I don't know what was wrong) Chanel alerted me to him by barking and whining at MY fence. He had gone and layed in the corner of his yard I THINK... To die - When I saw there was a dog in the yard - I climbed way up on my fence to take a look and was SHOCKED - So I got out my camera - took pictures & with my zoom lens. I also called the Houston ASPCA and emailed them too with the pictures along with the address and cross streets. They came within less than 48 hours and saved that dog. They did NOT need a donation to save that dog !!! Ernie at the ASPCA (who is on Houston Cops) called me to tell me if it weren't for the pictures - they wouldn't have acted so fast but that was the clincher for them to move quickly. These people need to notify the authorities and get all those dogs out of there. I HATE people who let dogs suffer like that...I just HATE THEM ! ps...THE PICTURE I posted is NOT as graphic as the other ones I took - (I don't want to upset anyone) - but this is that poor baby trying to look at me while I talked to him.... He never did get up and try to walk towards me. When I saw this poor guy I wanted to jump that fence and just SMACK his owner.

| I kinda questioned it as well. There are sooooooooo many scams out there and I don't want to fall into them. So how do we know for sure?

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Let me add that once a dog is IN rescue - then donations are ok to ask for if it's legit. But to have them physically removed from the premises - a simple phone call and pictures of the abuse will work for the authorities to make a trip to the place they reside. They will check out the conditions of the animals and TAKE them if they are being abused or neglected. If the neglect is minor the breeder would receive a citation - if it's major - they have the choice to surrender the dogs or take a chance of going to court. That's what they DO. |

Now that is one thing that pisses me off......Seeing a dog with open wounds etc...and the owner doing nothing about it. And that is a very pretty dog!!! I bet it got or will be adopted fast. V, you are the best for saving that baby.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | No...I did what any of us would do. I was lucky Chanel was upset and I went to check it out. If it weren't for her I would never have known. He was a gorgeous dog...The ASPCA said he was only about a year old and believe me - you don't want to see the rest of the pictures - it was way worse than what that showed. But with these poor yorkies - if that Rescue is asking for donations to help the dogs already saved - then I spoke too soon - but if they're trying to say no one would step in to save these dogs - and they have pictures - but need more money - I just don't get that. If it were me - I'd even call the COPS to get someone at least knocking on the door. There has to be some way for them to do this |

| My issue with this is. They're raising donations to BUY those dogs from the abusers. or said abusers are going to put the dogs down. and then treat them. Okay. Looks flame me if you want. but wouldn't that kinda just let the BYB's go buy more dogs and breed again.? |

| On the site it says there are no laws in this area to protect them and that they contacted the authorities that told them there's nothing that can be done. I've never dealt with anything like this so I don't know if it's true or not. I'm going to find out where these people are and what can be done. If anything I'll see if I can't locate these poor babies and call the authorities on them myself. No reply from them yet. Hopefully soon.

| Oh my gosh, those people are sickos. I really hate opening these kind of topics because they always make me think about the poor dogs all day and it gets to me big time. At the same time, maybe a different yorkie rescue could step in. I noticed the dogs are in TN. The president of the yorkshire terrier national rescue also resides there, her name is Mary Elizabeth Dugmore and I am forwarding this info to her!! |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I too, was tempted to hit paypal and make a donation. After all of the scams you hear about though, I decided to hold off until we know more. Have you contacted your local ASPCA authorities? I can't believe there is not a legal way to have these poor babies removed from there. Keep us posted on what you find out today, thanks!

It's hard for me to believe that there's no kind of law here to protect these poor babies. I haven't called the ASPCA yet because I want to find out where this breeder is first if I can. If I can't find out something by tonight I'm going to contact someone in the morning. It's hard to sit here, knowing that they are still suffering. I know a lady that works at the local animal shelter. I'm going to stop by there after I pick up my kid from school and ask her about it. I'm not going to rest until I KNOW they are safe and getting help.
