Thanks for the info and admiring words about her, she is very cute.
Our shelter holds any dog that comes in as a lost dog for five days so the owners can come and claim it. We sincerely hope that if she is a lost dog and has good owners who love her that they come and get her back. (she was brought in as a stray, not surrendered by her owners)
Of course every animal is at the shelter for a reason, some reasons are better than others, some reasons can mean problems for someone who adopts the animals, some hopefully not. So we realize we are taking a risk that she could have health problems, behavior problems, etc. But we will manage those to the best of our ability. If she is a good dog that needs a loving home that is great, if she needs some medical care we certainly can get her that as well.
Believe it or not there is another yorkie at the shelter right now as well that we are also considering, but we can't adopt both of them. She is ten years old.
In fact there have been 4 or 6 yorkies at the shelter that we know about in the last few months.
We really want a female yorkie that will get along with our male (Freddie, 11.5 years old). Our beloved little girl Precious died in February at the age of ten after an unsuccessful surgery to try and implant a pacemaker. We miss her greatly and can never replace her.
Our house just isn't the same without two dogs so we want to find Freddie a friend.
Precious' picture is attached, RIP baby girl we love you. |
