I placed a thread in the "Yorkies for sale/wanted" section and just realized that I probably should have posted here. I apologize for the repeat as I am relatively new to this forum.

I am able to take in a female Yorkie (either rescued or from a family looking for a good home). I am self employed and work from home, so the dog would rarely be left alone at any time.

My tragic story about the 10-year-old Yorkie, Annie, I rescued is chronicled here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=106677

Unfortunately Annie was suffering from terminal cancer (among many other things) and was in so much pain it would have been selfish to keep her alive. Euthanizing Annie was the most painful thing I ever had to do in my life (I have tears in my eyes as I'm writing this), but she had to be put to sleep because of the incredible amount of pain she was in.

So here I am with a hole in my heart and every supply a Yorkie could possibly need thanks to having Annie (i.e. kennel, bed, blankets, toys, baby gate, food, treats, puppy bads, dishes, a harness, leashes, collars, shampoo, doggie perfume, a house with a fenced in back yard and much more). In Annie's memory, I would like to offer a home to another rescued girl.

I am in a unique situation in that I can receive unlimited veterinary care and medicine because my business belongs to a barter exchange where businesses trade services with each other (without spending cash). So as an example, I build websites for $5,000 each - which gives me $5,000 in credit to spend with any other business that belongs to the exchange (there is a vet and a pet store that belong to my the barter exchange).

My cash situation as a single mother is limited, but I am very blessed to have this barter arrangement set up for veterinary care and pet supplies. I do not have money to purchase a Yorkie, but would be able to take in rescued puppy or one where the previous owner is not looking to make money, but just the peace of mind that their dog is going to an excellent home. I live in Winnipeg, Canada and could pay the costs of shipping the right Yorkie to my city.

I have a sweet, gentle 6-year-old daughter named Hannah, who loves Yorkies just as much as I do. We own a house with a fairly large, fenced-in back yard. We treated our previous Yorkie, Annie, like a member of the family and she travelled in our car with us on excursions regularly.

We have a ton of love to give and everything ready to provide a home to the Yorkie that God blesses us with. I can provide references, updates and photographs on the Yorkie I end up adopting.

Warm Regards,

Jamie
