Several in kill shelter in Osceola MO - CAN ANYONE HELP - YorkieTalk.com Forums

hooliacasa · 05-09-2008, 08:01 AM

City of Osceola

There are 5 females and 1 male in this shelter. It looks like a breeder took them there (JMO). But they all look so sad and so SCARED. I am not far from Osceola and I can be part of a train to get these babies into rescue somewhere. CAN ANYONE HELP? I am not a member of a rescue group ( I need to look into this) but this is a KILL shelter and most ppl from around here won't adopt these babies because they do not look like the calendar type yorkie.

CAN ANYONE HELP? PLEASE???

I can call the animal rescue I got Lilly from and would offer to foster one of the girls for them, but how is the $200 adoption fee going to work? I have to be honest if they are in a kill shelter how is it they are asking $200 adoption fee? Not trying to make a big deal but I live in NJ and I know the shelters do not get anywhere near this amount for an adoption and yes their adoptions too include spay/neuter, shots etc. Heck the rescue I help only charged $400 for Lilly and she as a 13 week old puppy, vetted, spayed and had her shots. I'm just not understanding a $200 adoption fee from a "Kill Shelter." Will they be willing to hand over the Yorkies to a rescue or will they still want the $200 adopt fee?

P.S. I also see that the photos are dated January 1, 2008. Is the date wrong on the photos or have these poor dogs been in this shelter this long? Elaine

RustysMom · 05-09-2008, 10:40 AM

Don't worry anyone! These babies will NOT be euthanized... shelters are a business, so like any business they "advertise" Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzu's to get you in to make application, and to buy another dog...a bigger dog..... All of these yorkie babies are usually gone the minute they get to a county shelter.

They will not euthanize $$$. Choice: If they can get $200 or $15, they will take the $200................

County shelters are different from Humane Societies or shelters and there are bad ones in both. To me, this looks like a "lost leader" enterprise.

It costs $$$ to "advertise" on Petfinder.. that why I have little use for PF...it is just an advertising medium.

I hear ya but that's the way it is at this shelter and to answer your question, I don't know. I will call and ask but only if there is a plan in place- I don't want to even suggest this to the shelter if it's not going to happen.

I do understand what you are saying but PLEASE PLEASE EVERYONE- this thread is to see if they can be put into rescue so please let's not get off the subject ok? lol

I hope you are right but you do not live in MO and so don't understand the VERY HIGH euthenasia rate in this state PARTICULARLY in this part of MO. So i cannot agree with you whole heartedly.
