Need to find new loving home for Yorkie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

reggies mom · 10-28-2009, 12:05 PM

I am in the Province of Ontario, in Canada, so I hope some Canadians are reading on here.
I am looking for a new home for my 5 year old, neutered Yorkie. His name is Reggie and I have had him since he was a puppy. All his shots are up to date.
I had not had experience training and raising a dog when my kids cried for me to buy him. As a result he has been allowed to be the BOSS of everyone and everything in the house. He is such a loveable and cuddly little guy but he is way too bossy towards the 3 adult cats and 1 baby kitten I have. If there is food around they aren't even allowed to walk through the room! He lays down the rules!
Also, because I work all day he has been trained on pee pads. He is pretty good with them but only about 75% of the time.
Between his being mean to the cats and the occasional accident he is spending more and more time in his "playpen" and crate.
Reggie needs to go to a home where his new mom and dad are familiar
with Yorkies and he can be the only pet. With proper handling Reggie will be a wonderful pet.
I feel terrible even thinking about giving him away but its just not fair to him, to me and to the other pets. I feel that the members here are loving Yorkie people and this is the only place I will post this Ad.
Please, if anyone can open their home and hearts to this cutie, please respond to this post.
He comes with his crate, toys and his smelly stuffed bear that he sleeps with.
Thanks

I would suggest calling a Yorkie Rescue group. They do a wonderful job screening perspective adoptive parents.

Posting photos of him may help.

You can attach them to your post. I'll try to explain briefly, you can find detailed instructions in the FAQ section of this site.

When the message window is open, look at the paperclip icon located at the top of the window (it is next to the happy face). When you click on the paperclip icon a window will pop open asking you to choose the files you would like to post. It is just like using attachments in your email.

Good Luck finding a home for the little one.

Just wondering how you made out..any news yet on finding a home for reggie?..

Well, after thinking it over and coming close to people showing an interest I simply could not do it.
My son who is 21 was actually brought to tears at the thought. I realize now that Reggie, good or bad, is part of this family.
Wherever I am, he is....

Thanks for asking.
