| Needing a home for Mindy, age 2 This is kind of a confusing story. And I don't know how to post it, I mean I am afraid I will be judged.. but here goes.. One of my husbands co-workers broke up with his girlfriend, he had to move back in with mom and he told Don he has to find his yorkie a home ASAP or to the pound because he couldn't keep him there. Don has known this guy for years and wanted to help him out. So we said we would take her and find her a really good home. Well we expected to be able to find her a home right away because she is a yorkie and a nice dog. However, the co-worker left out A LOT of information on this dog.. He lied! So we have had to spend the last couple of months working with her. But while she is a wonderful, awesome girl she has a few issues so we have to be very careful where she goes. Mindy dislikes men and will nip them in the leg.. BIG problem right there. BUT, we have found a way to help her with this issue and she no longer does this HERE... I cannot say she wont do it in a new home. We started with my husband giving her a treat and saying hello to her when he comes in from work. She bit him (no blood) maybe 2 times and after he started this she has quit. We have our male friends do this when they come in as well and it has worked really well. She is also a woman's dog, while she is now warming up to Don and will go to him to be petted, she spends 99% of her time with me on my lap or next to me. I do not know how she is with kids but I wont place her in a home with kids under 12..Period.. She is crate trained but doesn't need to be in one. She should be in a home with a single, preferably retired or stays at home female or older couple. What she needs is a mellow home. She is a very mellow, sweet girl of 10 pounds. I just weighed her, she is still small but not tiny like some are looking for. She is also a barker, she talks A LOT when my husband comes home. I have been using the dog repeller to try and train her and it works most of the time if I am close enough. But if all the dogs get going she doesn't always quit right away. she IS learning. I have to many dogs right now and I cannot keep her, plus like I said it was never our intention to keep her. I have no clue how she is with cats. But she can be snotty to other dogs, especially females. But it's just certain dogs. She and my cockapoo Candy cannot stand each other and Mindy can be a bully to my 5 year old yorkie Kizzie, and Kizzie is only 4 pounds. Kizzie is afraid of Mindy and ever since Mindy came here Kizzie spends a lot of her time hiding out in our room or my adult sons room. Mindy is smart, she is cute and she is possibly mixed because she has a curly coat. She had a very short cut when we took her in and it is now growing out a lot and the curl is really showing. But she acts totally yorkie She is house trained, she is up to date on her vaccines except rabies. We don't need it where we live so I don't do it on any of my own dogs. Mindy needs to be spayed and that will be done before she leaves my home. I am not looking for any money for her, but I will be charging the spay fee as an adoption fee. Her teeth are good but is due for a cleaning as well I am sure. I do not feel comfortable shipping her but I will consider it for the right home and I will have to get someone to come check out your home. I don't know her birthday or who bred her or anything. Don's co-worker got her as a stray, she just showed up on their doorstep one day when she was approx. 6 months old. He is the one who said she is about 2 years old. She is a really funny dog with a ton of personality and love to give. Well that is all I can think of right now. If you are interested please contact me with more questions, etc. I live in Washington State on the west side of the mountains. One hour south of Seattle... You can see her here : Dog profile for Mindy, a female Yorkshire Terrier And I use this vet clinic for doing spays and teeth cleaning: Value Pet Clinic Check their prices here: Value Pet Clinic |

| I wouldn't think it would be too hard to find a retired lady or couple that would take her. She's a cutie pie and since she is house trained I would think there would be a number of people that would appeal to. I do hope you are able to find her a home.

| That is so sad! I cannot believe that the man asked you to take another one of his pups. What is wrong with people? |

| Steve and Sue, I am so happy to see that this girl has found a new home You are great for being able to take her in. Karla, It sounds like you have done a great job with Mindy, it takes a lot of work, time and dedication to help this girl with the training and then finding her a wonderful new home.
