It made me cry the first time I saw Lily! She has the saddest little eyes ... they just seem to be begging someone to help her. Sadly, yes, she was in an official rescue [not Yorkie specific, but all-breed]. Trish was contacted by a lady who knew that Lily was there and wanted to get her out if we would take her. She got her after paying $150 cash [no receipt] and very little paperwork. She had been there since January, had not been vet checked, spayed, no shots, etc. and they indicated that she is 9 months old! Trish says that she has to be 3-4 years judging from her teeth and she is just bones with skin holding them together!! She constantly gnawed at her foot which they attributed to stress! After getting her, she was given a quick check by a vet before Trish got her. She has an appointment this AM with our vet at which point she will be checked for everything under the sun and we will know if we are facing any health problems ... I pray he finds nothing but simple neglect ... we shall see!
