Sookie and Villette,
Thanks so much for sharing these stories, although they ripped my heart right out of my chest!! I think these were a good reminder to all of us that there are so many wonderful, unwanted animals in shelters today that will face the same fate.
Years and years ago we got a one year-old beagle puppy from a shelter and he turned out to be an animal that had insurmountable issues that we just couldn't help him overcome. Apparently he had been horribly abused and all te love and affection in the world didn't help that little guy. He started biting my 2 year-old daughter and we had to return him to the shelter. I never really wanted to think about what probably would become of him. I guess it's too easy to walk away sometimes. After reading your posts, my heart is breaking

I admire all of the members here who have adopted their yorkies from shelter or rescue groups. I have been a bit 'gun shy' to ever do so but now after reading your posts, I think that my heart is open to it. Thank you for sharing.
