Donating YT 500 Club Member | Special needs pup...YHR needs help We have a 9 week old yorkie boy that could use the generosity of YT members. This boy was surrendered to my vet friend, he has special needs, born with one eye not fully formed and the other eye has premature cataracts. YHR will take care of his medical needs, hopefully the cataract can be removed and his vision can be restored, at least partially. We have a foster home available in North Carolina, but this boy is near Tulsa, OK and we need help getting him to his foster home. Does anyone have any ideas or could you help get him there? Ideally we would like to fly him to NC, so frequent flyer miles could be donated, and a courier would also be a great help.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Thank you all for your support and suggestions. I did make contact with the Pilots N Paws organization and am in hopes something will come of that. The Operation Roger group sounds wonderful too and I will also make contact with them. It's at times like these I wish that I could blink my eyes or twitch my nose to make things magically happen, but I know it usually takes hard work and lots of organizing to get a transport across country. I would really like to try and save this boy as he most likely could lead a very happy life. I know the vet will hold him if we can find a way to his new home, the other option (PTS) is so not necessary for this boy.

| Thanks for posting about this little guy. Glad he is being taken care of and keeping fingers and paws crossed that he gets transport to North Carolina with one of these organizations. Wish I could be of more help, but will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

| What about some members getting together and trying to meet up to get him there. I am in Arkansas. Tulsa is a few hours away. Maybe a few of us could work to get him to North Carolina. Any ideas? I will help if I can.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | If you're serious, I may just take you up on that offer! I could get him to the Ft. Smith area, if you could take him from there....how far across Ark would you be willing to take him? If it's possible for you to get him to TN, then we may just need one or two others to make the TN leg of the trip.

I am serious. I just need to see if one of my friends would be willing to travel with me. I could ask tomorrow. She has a yorkie too. I think she would be willing. When does he need to be picked up? We teach so it would have to be on the weekend or in a few weeks after school lets out. Just let me know and I will see what we can do!!!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Thank you!!! I just have to let the vet know something in the morning. I can get him and keep him til we could meet. That may be as soon as this weekend, if we can get one or two members to meet with you and go from there. The new owner can drive to the Tenn. state line I'm sure. Anybody from Tennessee willing to help a special needs yorkie boy find his way to his new home?

I can ask her at 8:00 am about riding with me. I can let you know then for sure. Don't see it as a problem.

I'll be picking up this pup later today and will post pictures so you all can see just who is being rescued. I'll be thinking of names for him too and would love to hear some suggestions.
