Live in Missouri(one of the higher # of puppy mill states,i hear) I tried and tried to adopt a Yorkie, or any pup in this state! I got a chorkie coming that I purchased her(NO MILL-only litter she had, I went and saw!) I even tried to foster!
Why is it so hard to adopt? I adopted a terrier mix in the late 70's from a local shelter- Had him for 12+ years! Went back there

I filled out 2 applications- in there -emailed 2 and have never heard 1 word! Never even got to talk to anyone when I was there-they could not find my application!
I do not have a fenced yard,but live in country, and I do have other animals- Maybe that's it. And really the lady I got from is not a "breeder" and I got this little guy for a good price-probably cheaper than I could of gotten from a shelter here!
But Why?
We NEED some good rescue groups in Mid Missouri- we have the lots, that need HOMES!
iF i WAS CLOSE TO YOU, i'D BE ADOPTING/ FOSTERING OR BOTH!

Would you consider adopting to northern california?

Txgurl06 · 10-28-2007, 09:05 PM

beautiful dogs!!! OMG! if i was closer i sure would help!!!

sassyfire1956 · 10-28-2007, 09:26 PM

yes, I would have. If a good thing could of worked out! and I would not want to pay $400 to adopt and $300 to ship- which they usually do not want to ship- so then It would be me flying out and back- so that is some$, too! It would be great if it could be worked out-But I have no money tree in my yard in Mo. Wish I did!LOL I just know there are lots out there- close- to people who want them- and It is really hard to get one!It is kind of sad to spend $300 to ship-that would feed several dogs in shelters or foster homes! yes, 1 has a home, but there ARE SO MANY! It is a big circle And anyone- me included-getting a dog from 1000's of miles away- HOW MANY NEED HOMES BETWEEN missouri and California? That would be a big,big # I don't know what the solution is-spay/nueter-big help, but still will have homeless, lost, ect! I'd take them all if I could-i can't- just ask the cats out my door-someone dumped them here last year-Well, they lounge on the cushioned lawn furniture while I mow, have a little house to go into,their own bowls,ect. the are not strays any more- they are at home!they have a place to sleep,food to eat, and go to the vet once a year-they were just lucky to get "Dumped" on my road! One is the most beautiful white long haired,with light green eye's!she is not real friendly, but she is beautiful! Now how in the world can somone dump a tiny, tiny beautiful white kitten out on a country road? sorry, I went on so

If we can locate someone do to a home check, we will adopt to other areas. Check out our website to see the dogs available: http://members.cox.net/ytclarescue. Or...yorkies.petfinder.com. If you don't see a dog that you're interested in, keep checking as we get new rescues all the time.

Thanks for wanting to adopt a rescued Yorkie - you're saving a life!

Debbie, Here is an email I received from Carla w/ your organization. The communication mishap is a big one here.
First is my response to her email to me. Let me know what you think.

Carla,

Forgive me if I misunderstood your email below. I highlighted it in red. I am a very caring and loving person, not self serving as you state below. You do not seem like a very nice person making acquisition's like this w/o even knowing me. I was just trying to help.

Denise, I don't understand what you are talking about. You ask if you can foster to adopt, but you meant exactly what we don't want....foster till you find the dog that you want??? What we don't need is people that are just self-serving. You could have adopted without ever fostering Denise. All you had to do was get the fence up and that was for adopting or fostering, but YOUR stipulation has talked yourself right out of getting one of our dogs. At the time, fostering was only an invitation, not the only way you could adopt a dog. Good luck to YOU.

Hi Denise. Yes you can, provided you are able to foster after your adoption. It takes a lot of our time to train and work with people on what to do and we don't just want people who join just for the sole purpose of fulfilling their own requirement of adoption. So if you can commit for at least a year, yes....but you do have to get your yard enclosed still. Let me know if you want to join or if I can answer any other questions. I am attaching some reading material for you and hopefully it will clear up some things and help you decide.

Denise & Fellow Yorkie Lovers,

Carla York & YTNR are NOT a part of our rescue. They are NOT in any way affiliated with the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America (YTCA) Rescue & the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Los Angeles (YTCLA) Rescue. The official rescues for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America are all listed on their website - www.ytca.org. Scroll down on the home page & you will see the "Rescue" box on the left. Click on it & it will take you to the page listing all of the official Club rescues. YTNR is NEVER used as a rescue by our Clubs. It is a privately run rescue, headquartered in Tennessee.

I once was a member of YTNR & left that group for a number of reasons.

Our rescue is developing a new website but it isn't up & running yet. The old site at Cox.net is no longer being used. Some of our available dogs can be found at yorkies.petfinder.com. Not all of our available rescues are listed on Petfinder. When we have approved applicants, we match them up with an appropriate dog when it comes into our rescue & has received all it's needed veterinary care. The dogs are fostered in our homes so we learn about their personalities & what type of home is best for them.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please let me know.

Thanks!

Thank you for telling us that you are not connected with Carla York. We had a very bad experience with her as well. My family are BIG DONORS in the whole animal rescue and shelters world. However, we were so frustrated trying to adopt, filling out so many applications, never getting a response and even calling to never get call backs. We all agreed that NONE of our 2009 budget is going to any dog shelter and in fact we have discussed going to a yorkie breeder only because its a complete nightmare dealing with the rescues, who, in my recent experience think they are God in deciding who is 'self serving' or who is capable. We live in a 7,000 square foot house with 4 adults (no one younger than 29). We have one person who is home 99% of the time and we have a very loving giving environment where the animals come first. We just lost our yorkie and thought it would be great to open our home to another one so that there is one less dead dog at the city animal shelter.
However, we learned the opposite... they dont care that they are killing 189,000 dogs per year and that these dogs are in cages until they have a home.
SAD SAD SAD!
I think we need to regulate these rescues. Perhaps Yorkie Club is better? I would hope so, I'll check it out now. Thank you for telling us!
