Rescuing a Yorkie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Amber1108 · 03-31-2008, 09:05 AM

I am rescuing a female 3 or 4 year old yorkie. She is at a Humane Society near here and she was rescued from a mill. I am picking her up tonight and am so excited to give her a type of home and love that she needs. Poor girl is missing part of her right here but I still think that she is beautiful.MO80.10544313-1-pn.jpg

Not sure if I posted this under the right area but since she is a rescue that is why I did it here.

Bless you. You are going to bring such joy to this little one's life and vice versa.~

Patti · 03-31-2008, 09:12 AM

Congratulations. She looks like a sweetheart and so deserves a great home like yours.

jrsygal37 · 03-31-2008, 09:17 AM

Amber, I am so glad you are giving this girl a chance. Is she missing part due to another dog in the mill grabbing her? I just read on another forum that a shizu had her leg ripped off by a pit and the miller did not seak attention for her. She died an hour after being rescued. Your road will be long with this little one as mill dogs often are even afraid of grass under their feet from living their entire life in a cage. If you need help pls. feel free to PM me and I'll help you out with ideas or answers as best I can - also www.puppymillrescue is a good site to book mark. They have a Yahoo group called puppymillrescue. You should join as they have a lot of knowledge and are always willing to help. Best of luck. Elaine

Awww...Sweet girl. What an angel you are

Post her new pictures when you get her in the picture section so we can make a fuss over her!

Rudys Mom · 03-31-2008, 09:30 AM

Congratulations on adopting/rescuing that sweet Yorkie girl.

What a wonderful thing you are doing for her. I bet you can't wait till tonight.

Amber1108 · 03-31-2008, 09:33 AM

Oh and I just noticed I typed her right here and it was supposed to be right ear. Anyway they are not sure what happened with her ear but I will get her all checked out and fixed up. The only other problem she has is that she needs some dental work but I will be more than happy to get that done for her. I just don't understand how people can be so cruel to animals when all that they want is to give and receive love and affection.

Thanks for you info on that group and website I will definitely join.

And I also want to mention that this humane society was wonderful to work with. They are an hour away but I called and talked to them so they are holding her for me until I can get there, so I went at lunch time and got all kinds of new items for her. I just cannot wait to get her home.

LuvmyYorkies2 · 03-31-2008, 09:34 AM

Awww, bless your heart. I too, would rescue if I wasn't always denied(7 yo son, no fence)...I love hearing stories of rescues. I think she is beautiful. Please take pics of your union tonight and best of luck getting her settled in.

Amber1108 · 03-31-2008, 09:41 AM

I will take lots of pics this evening and get them posted. I am just counting down to 4:00. I have been on here for quite awhile doing research on Yorkies and just waiting for the right time and the time is here.

Oh, God bless you!! I am so excited for you, I can just imagine how you feel right now! Do you have any idea what you will name her? She is adorable. We have gotten them that are so afraid/shy that they are afraid to approach their food even though they are just starving. It's heartbreaking but you are in for a treat when she realizes all the wonderful things in store for her now that she has someone who loves her! It may take awhile or she may be fine from the beginning. I can hardly wait to hear all about her! Congratulations on the new star in your crown!

autumn star · 03-31-2008, 10:19 AM

You are definitely going to be her Angel! Bless you for giving her a forever home so she does not have to spend one more day laying on a hard wire crate!!!!!

a2luckygirl · 03-31-2008, 10:38 AM
