We are a Yorkie Community here, we all stick together and will do what it takes to make sure a yorkie finds the best home they deserve! We have lots of friends here who are willing to open up there home and take in a older yorkie if needed!
Why take them to yorkie rescue if we don't have to?? All it takes is a post and we have people jumping on the yorkie train! Good honest people who love yorkies forever!!! |
I agree. I think Rescue Organizations do amazing work in environments where it's difficult to place a dog in a secure and loving home, particularly in cases of special needs (health, behavioral). However, I don't think the average person, who isn't truly dedicated to dogs or a certain breed, spend their spare time on a breed specific message board. Only die hard owners and breedlovers do...and those types of people are going to be very dedicated to their pets and give loving homes. Alot of the people you see on this board trying to find homes are low # posters who only came here to find their dogs a home. I know that when I heard of an available yorkie, I've always sent them here to post their rehoming ad.
I think placing pets using this forum is safe and a good idea...however, if a dog has a special medical need or suffers from behavioral issues, THEN they should be turned over to Rescue organizations to properly place them with a suitable home.
