It might be sad that someone would tie a dog to something and leave it to possibily starve, but is is certinaly wrong!
I wouldn't post that it is ever the right or only thing to do, but that is just me.

I did not see that post, but do now; and I totally agree with you on that one Megan!
Thank you!

Thanks, Elaine, for your kind words and for always looking out for the yorkies! I have seen so many wonderful posts by you trying to help and to educate!

I feel bad that I am not as involved as I once was. And, I tip my hat to you believe me. If it weren't for those of you that are so actively involved these poor animals would never have a fighting chance. If there is anything I can do to help with this guy or any other please let me know. I will always help transport when I can and I will and do always donate. And, although it's a small contribution I try to educate as many as I can. Please, let me know how this all goes and please take care of yourself. I know how stressful it is when your hands are tied and you're trying to do your best for as many as you can.

This just breaks my heart. Poor guy.

Would also like to donate to his health care and will keep checking back to see how to donate. (Wish I could do more.)

Bless all of you for taking him in, transporting, and saving his life.

Please keep us up to date about this poor little man, and anything he might need.

You are absolutely right..ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS...and Lin is all action and really cares about these little critters. She will not back down and always places their interest first. ManlyJane, you are the best...

I am so happy for Sonny (hehe I named him this because all I could see was a big smile on his face even with everything done to him) as he really touched my heart. I know he is going to be one of those very special little dudes and I hope that we can follow his life...He is just to beautiful in his soul.

Geez..I did not see that post from Megan and I don't have her on ignore. Where have I been? Never mind...hahahhah we all know what old age can do to a person...uh...no only SOME of us do.

You guys are embarrassing me....you all are wonderful to the pups! And..on the same page.,...love you all!

We will have updates on Sonny...I am going to suggest she name him that, but cannot make her do it..hah! Even if he ends up not being a YHR pup, I will have frequent updates. He is going to an ultra wonderful person!!

Yes it was sad. and times haven't changed much sense this happened. wasn't long ago. he had no one to help him. no Internet, it was said that he was homeless, no food. so his dog was already starving. that dog was all he had. he thought he was doing some thing better for his dog. I wasn't saying if it was right or wrong. I was saying maybe that's what happened with this dog, some how it got burned and maybe the owners though someone would come along and help it, maybe that's why it had a sign on it.

I'm glad this dog is getting the help it needs that's all that matters.

This is really great news! For some reason I am not "subscribed" to this thread Not sure what that is all about..............

Sunny~I really like that name I'm so glad that you were able to find him a foster home. I will be praying that his heartworm come back NEGATIVE. Poor guy has enough to deal with he does not need to go through treatment for that as well.

I would also like to thank all of the people that asked how they can help with his care! Once again YTer rule!!!!!

[lil fu fu girl]

That is such great news. If there is anything we can do over here in the NE for him, let us know.

[manolos mom]

Linda, are you getting ready for your trip tomorrow. Let us know how Sunny does and please send us pics.

[livingdustmops]

You must be so very excited to get your new boyfriend ... even if it is for one night...we all want to know all the details once you get home..

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the work you rescuers do. I'm really frightened for the future, for it just seems like rescues are filling up, and I wonder if some people are taking more dogs then they really want just because there's little choice. This is one of the reasons I get upset about people breeding indiscriminately. Good breeders seem to be cutting back but the byb's are forging ahead, try to earn a little extra spending cash. I wish all breeders would feel responsible for the future lives of every pup they produce, and every pup, their pups produce, for it just seems that most byb's encourage other byb's to breed. I believe that unless you really love the breed, and really have something to offer the breed, you should not be breeding.

Nancy, I wish you would also post this in the DAWG thread and maybe just maybe it will get through to at least one person who is thinking of breeding without any research, studying, training etc. I will never forget the weekend I had 17 dogs and was still getting phone calls as there were only two of us in all of Arizona doing Yorkie rescue. It was TOOO MUCH but it broke my heart to have to say no, knowing some little one was going to be put down.

Everyone has stretched a bit...we have had to...but, there is a time that we have to say no.
Yes, they do keep pumping them out...just ludicrous. I honestly think some are probably breeding more and selling for less. The good breeders already know that people cannot afford now, so they cut back. The others...well hey...just drop the prices and breed more. That is what I am thinking. Of course it is just my little opinion.
Whatever it is...it is just beyond disgusting any more.
The gal who is taking the one that I am getting tomorrow is also taking a little female from a shelter in Houston...and there is another one in a shelter here closer to me. I just got that email tonight. I seriously don't know what is going to happen here in TX...it just seems to get worse each day.
