Default College student seeking yorkie

Hi I am a college student attending East Carolina University. I am a junior and in dire need of a favor. I want a yorkie so bad, I have already sent some man in africa 2000 dollars for a yorkie I was supposed to recieve last August and am still waiting on. So I really cant afford another one. Is there anybody who has a puppy for free or under 300 dollars. I am willing to drive and if you have more I have friends who want to buy also. I have wanted a yorkie since i was a little girl and the one time I try to buy one I get scammed. so if there is anybody out there that can help me or no somebody who can help me please contact me at ldf0829@mail.ecu.edu. Thank you

About a week or so ago, i was also talking to some man from Africa about a yorkie pup he was going to sell it to me for only $450 shipping included. i had a bad feeling about it and wanted to make sure so i posted about it here and turns out it was a scam!! Then, I thought i found the perfect place in NY she was selling a yorkie pup for only $550 and i would be able to pick him up but after some research, i found out that the place gets it's puppies from the mills and i was heartbroken again. People can be so heartless and cruel. I have been looking for a yorkie for a long time now and it looks like i am not going to be getting one anytime soon. The prices are ridiculous!!!! Sorry, but I highly doubt you will ever get a yorkie puppy for free or for only $300. I know exactly how you feel.

I read your post about the person in Cameroon, I answered that same in in the Miami Herald!!! These ppl are so sick!!! He said he was a missionary there!! At least you are in the US where there are so many options. There are not many different types of breeds here, s**tz su's are really popular here but I fell in love w' yorkies from the moment I saw one on Mtv's My sweet 16. I had to go online and find out what kind of dog it was! Now I'm hooked, so I am kinda frustrated. Hope we get our puppies soon!!

Hi, I'm in Havelock, NC. About an hour from Greenville. I have 3 Males available. They will be ready June 20th. Sorry they aren't for free though. I'm asking $800 if you'd like to pass that info onto your friends. Good luck in finding a pup. My daughter is going to ECU in the fall.

Hi Kim, what handsome little lads you have there. They are adoreable. We are looking to get Baby Blessing a lttle girl playmate.
Our daughter hubby and kids are moving there to NC in June, their trying to talk us into it, but at our age we're like an antique it's hard to make a move like that. Beautiful country there, although I don't think we could adjust to the mosquitos and humidity. Have a nice day. Patti and ~~Baby Blessing~~

I think you'd adjust to our climate. What area of NC are they moving to? This area around here is a hot spot for retirees these days. New Bern was mentioned on Good Morning America last year as a great place to retire and play golf or something like that and all the northerners are buying up the houses like crazy. Anyway, good luck on your search for a baby girl. We have one girl, but she has a new momma already, a member here named Marhat is her going to be her new mommy.

Default Thanks to a YT member I was able to buy my yorkie

I can fully understand the plight of wanting something and not having the money to fully pay for it I have been there. However, I happend to be looking for a puppy for sale and came across a yorkie for a very very reasonable price right on this site. I called the Yt member and asked was this a joke and she said no it was not. All I can say is that I was truly blessed that she decided to let this yorkie come home with me. This is to say that yes you can buy a healty Yorkie for a reasonable price not always but sometimes. I was just blessed she is a wonderful person and her puppie is a delight. Thank you my blessed spirit and thank you for the wonderful YT member who helped me. Ps he did come with AKC papers...If I ever do breed I will fast forward and do the same that she has done for me...

I am so sorry you were scammed. There have been alot of people on here that were looking at the Nigeria ads for a puppy. You might want to try to adopt a rescue. Good luck with your search

Hi there and welcome to YT. I am in Greenville as well and a grad of ECU...GO PIRATES!! I don't know that you will find one quite that cheap, but have you checked the Bargain Trader magazine? Also, some of the rescue sites...I know some affiliates of YTNR...they have some cuties!! I will keep my eyes open for you and PM me if you'd like to chat or want some more advice. My girl is a rescue/rehome and my male is a rehome and I couldn't love them more!!

Ohhhh, I almost forgot...there is a petfinder ad listed in the petfinder classifieds for a yorkie in NC...states he is on meds right now but will be fine. Minimal adoption fee. I will pm the number to you if I can find it again. There was a post on YT about it...

Sorry that you got scammed. Can I give you a bit of advice..I would wait on the pup until you finish school. You are going to be way too busy to want to house break a puppy. Not only that you are not sure where life is going to take you once you finish. I would recommend 1) saving up, 2) searching out breeders and 3) generally waiting until school is over. These small breed dogs can run you as far as care so you might want to hold off a bit.

Sorry Hon...I dont' want to rain on your parade. Be very wary of sending anyone cash via western union. If you do still want to buy look around locally so you can see what you are going to get and see how the dog is cared for.

Good luck.
