| Isn't this Yorkie abuse???? My neighbor's little female Yorkie is being chained to a post outside all day or running loose around in the neighborhood while her owner is living cozily in a big two story home. This might not be any of my business and I usually keep my nose to myself but in my mind's eye I see this as abuse of the worst kind and I can't stand seeing it! It is my understanding that Yorkies are indoor dogs not outside dogs. This poor little thing has been chained up all year and has now had two litters of puppies with the fathers being "travelling strangers of the night." How the poor little thing survives is beyond me! She is chained up with her puppies roaming around close by. She barks and carrys on something awful occassionaly getting loose to roam the streets. She lost one of her puppies from her last litter in this way..it followed her off and never came home! There is no dog catcher in the town where I live so no hope of something being done due to that. No one else seems to mind but me...guess they figure it isn't their dog so why be concerned but while it isn't my dog I sure hate seeing this abuse. It is getting below freezing at night here now but guess b/c they have placed a doghouse in the yard they think that is all they need to do. She has two new puppies just a couple weeks old and her coat is cut short b/c she runs loose and gets mats in her coat. I feel soooo sorry for the poor little thing and feel guilty for not helping her out but don't really know what to do...just hard to turn my head to it! Just had to vent my frustration somewhere...thanks for lending me your ear!

| I wouldn't take her to a shelter because they couls easliy claim her. I hate dishonesty but this girl needs a intervention, I say next time she gets loose keep her and find her a good home. They do not deserve any respect if you ask me! So the 2 week old puppies are out in the freezing cold also? |

| I would keep my eyes open like the last person said and the next time you see her lose I would catch her and then call the humane seciaty there has got to be one at lest in 100 miles.Or I might would see if she would sell her. If she is chained out side and has had stray litters the lady couldnt care anything about her and might sell her cheap. |

| Sounds like abuse to me.....oh that poor dog! My neighbor has a yorkie and a maltese and the maltese yaps all day....b/c she puts HUGE shock collars on their necks and lets them in her miniscule backyard area behind her townhome and only uses invisible fences (hence the collars)....it's disturbing.

| If she gets out again get her and call a rescue. I wish I would have did that. I have some neighbors down the street from me that had a yorkie and would let it run loose and we have a busy street near by. I kept debating if I should grab him or not and then all of a sudden I didnt see him anymore. I dont know what happened too him.

My furkids Donating Member | You don't have any kind of animal control where you are? I know the law says as long as they have shelter and food there is nothing they can do...but, I do agree with you...I too, would consider this abuse. My daughter had an issue similar to this but it was a male..they didn't take good care of him...was left tied out with the awful heat that we had this past summer and NO WATER!! THAT is abuse!! they kept asking my daughter if she wanted the dog...at this time she can't have a dog because her and her boyfriend don't own a home yet...the neighbor could have cared less about this poor little guy...well, they finally placed him in a forever loving home. I would try to see if I could find someone to talk to (regarding animal cruelty...like your vet maybe) and let them know what's been going on...if there are puppies being born and left outside this isn't a good thing...You know what! on second thought I would take the dog AND puppies...I am sure you could re-home her and her puppies to a loving caring family...If you took the dog/puppies do you think they would know? maybe you could foster them until the puppies are old enough to find homes and then re-home them then....OMG!!! I just can't believe these people

| BEFORE IT GETS COLD?????????? It's been getting cold regularly here. It was 28 degrees this morning. That poor little yorkie! The only suggestion I have is to contact Kathy Watt at watt@ucom.net She is with a yorkie rescue and see if she has any suggestions. She may be able to coordinate something with some other people in Kansas. I would just come over and rescue the poor little thing, but I'm presently taking care of my mom who is dying of cancer and I can't do it right now. Otherwise, I'd be there pronto. Some people are so very cruel.

| Blows my mind what some people do to dogs. To me, chaining a dog is abuse. Ask your vet what can be done. They might have some suggestions. |

| Friggin pop knot your neighbor!!! Then tonight or Monday when they are gone, go down and get her off the chain and bring her in. She can use pp pads so the neighbors don't see. Maybe they'll just think she ran away again. Find her a good home far far away from them and they'll never be none the wiser, the big buttheads.
