| Need to surrender a yorkie My Mom has Alzheimer's & had to go to a personal care home. She has an 8 year old Yorkie boy, Beau. I already have the 2 littermates. My little girl acts like she's been thrown away. He's up to date on all his shots & is healthy. Beau loves walks.He doesn't like to be held but he has to be sitting touching you at all times. He likes to be brushed, has good teeth, and loves to chew pig ears, bully sticks & steak bones. As for being house trained my Mom used papers & Beau did not do well. Of course her mind wasn't right & didn't care where he went either. Beau has been living with me for 3 weeks & has only had 1 accident. He adapted to going outside quite well I think. He's a smart little dog, will be the first to greet you when you come home and real obedient. He needs a loving home. If you know of a nice person that would love him & welcome him in their home in the Pittsburgh area, please let me know. This is very hard to do but I work, am at the home to visit my Mom everyday - where she loving calls her cellblock. This is all just too much for me to handle. |

| I'm sorry to hear about your mom - it must be so difficult to watch your mom live with Alzheimer's. A couple quick questions - how far from Pittsburgh would you allow Beau to go? Do you have any photos to share? Would you allow us to post Beau's info on FB to try to spread the word that he needs a good home? (And how much does he weigh - I know some people are interested in knowing that.) I am about 2 1/2 hrs from PGH and would be happy to post a request on FB if you would allow it (and had a photo to share, that would help). LMK. |

| Here's a pic of Beau. He weighs 10-11 lbs. I think closer to 11 lbs. He is very light colors. Light grey & very light tan. One ear stands up & the other is down. He is neutered. I have no problem if he's 2 1/2 hours away from Pittsburgh. I just want him in a loving home where he gets lots of attention. I want my Mom to have him for Christmas at my house for a last visit. I had my Mom stay overnight for Thanksgiving & poor Beau moped & didn't leave the couch for 3 days after. I only want to do this for my Mom & only one more time to poor Beau. I would be so thankful if you could help me find a loving home. My Mom would too. |

YT 2000 Club Member | dog I wish you could have hired a live in to care for mom and Beau. It is so hard to take away a dog. I understand you have to do what you must do. I pray little Beau will have a loving home. It will be hard separating him. |

| Thanks for sharing his photo -- I put it out on my FB page to see if anyone knows anyone who could give him a good home. He's adorable! Too bad I can't have any more due to HOA restrictions in my neighborhood. I would take him in a heartbeat! |

| Thank you Maxwell for helping with the FB page. I sure hope something works out. I called our vet to see if he knew of anyone. One of the staff said she would take him but she already has 1 dog & 2 cats. I don't know about cats. Beau has never been around any & it sounds like her house is full. I don't know how long my Mom is going to remember Beau - her mind is going. I think she must have had a mild stroke since she's been in & it's only been a couple of weeks. I couldn't go today & tonight we have snow & ice. She called she's hungry & I said eat some of the ice cream or fruit cups in her mini-frig. She didn't know she had a frig & where it is. I had to explain that's what her Christmas tree is sitting on. She's bored - I tell her to turn on the TV & she says I have a TV? Meanwhile I have signs taped on how to turn on & off the TV. Of course it don't help she has the mosaiced pic of Beau I made her above her bed. One day she will be asking me why that pic is there. And one day she won't know me. Nurses are $50.00 an hour. NO WAY we could ever afford nursing. I tried getting someone 3 hours a day & that's what I would have had to pay. We pay $80 a day at the personal care home. I have caregiver burnout. She went kicking & screaming. She tells everyone I put her in a cell. So I put Cellblock 310 on her kleenex box & we make a joke about it. Alzheimer's is UGLY! |

| I hope Beau finds a loving home soon!! Perhaps you could contact a rescue in your area and ask them to do a courtesy post for you on Petfinder. I would bet, under the circumstances with your mother, that one of them would help you out. |

I saw on FB that SAY had a foster home in Altoona, PA, so maybe they will help you in Pittsburgh even though they are closer to Philly. Please let us know if you get any leads for little Beau! | |
