There is a yorkie on the second page.

I received the above link this evening and it says the pups are in danger of euthanasia because the shelter is full.

This is from a shelter in Mesquite, TX. I know nothing else. You could call the shelter to get further information. Their website is
City of Mesquite - Animal Shelter

Did you see his pic? Cage 13. Do you have room for one or do you know of anyone? I'm full but will ask around if you need me to. Let me know what you think and I will help.

I actually save dogs all the time. www.petangelsociety.com I created to try to place animals that I take in or that people know about.

I have friends in Texarkana wanting a yorkie and I told him I would look for a rescue. They are in the Bahamas just left yesterday so I cant reach them.

I will get him, unless someone else does. I was going to go there between 12-2 pm. If they let me, I will adopt him today and just come back when he is ready to go! I will keep you informed.

I just looked at your website. I see that you do promote spay/neuter. I am curious as to whether you have an application for prospective pet owners and if you check out their vet references prior to placing them with someone.
Thanks!

If you have any suggestions I am open to hearing them. I am only doing this out of the goodness of my heart. It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear of precious animals dying because of irresponsible owners. I just created the site last month, but have been taking animals in for years. Fortunately-i have placed all the animals with people I know or met through another friend. With those I did a phone interviews and then delivered the pet so I could first hand see living conditions. If you have an application I would love to incorporate something like that in the future. I do not support back yard breeding and people being irresponsible and not spaying or neutering. I also support legit breeders who better the breed.

OK. I just got back from the Mesquite Shelter. Let me tell you, it was heartbreaking. While I was there, which was 30 minutes, I saw 3 people bring in their dogs and cats, and that is just while I was in the lobby! Lord knows how many came in when I was back at the kennels!! They all said, "I just dont have the money to care for him any more" or "I don't have money to take it to the vet". Sorry excuses!!!! Sell something! You dont give up a FAMILY member! UGH!

Anyway, I did see the male Yorkie. He was picked up as a stray on Friday and he will be available tomorrow at 4:15 for adoption. They do not do any shots, no vet on staff. Adoption fee is 45.00 but in turn they give you a voucher worth that much to go towards the neuter.

Because he is not available yet, I could not take him out to play. He is a Yorkie mix, they said an adult. No clue of age. At this point I am third on the list of people interested in him. Basically, who ever gets there first and wants him can adopt him for the 45.00.

THEN I saw a female yorkie. She was a tiny girl. She has cancer AND she is pregnant. My heart broke, I cried. BUT they said a yorkie rescue was coming after her.

Here is the male available. He is so filthy. I just wanted to take him and love on him and give him a bath. I will try to save him tomorrow. Some one else might beat me to it, if so, I hope he goes to a good family.

Who is picking up that pregnant girl. That just make me sick. Can you find out the rescue? Sometimes people come in posing as rescue and sell them for breeding stock or just to make a buck. If she is tiny she will need medical attention asap including an xray. You will need to get there early. They use the outside camaras to see who pulled up first. We need to save both. What can I do. I dont get home until 1130am tomorrow.
