I too, question your 'limitations'. if a yorkie was brought to you or called about that was 8lbs with a broken leg and the owners couldn't afford its care would you turn it away where it will most likely be put to sleep or would you take it in?
i know you had a very tiny yorkie and she had major health problems. I can understand you wanting to help them out because you had one of your own that you loved very much. However i think your just asking for a lot of heartache. Right now i think you are desperately trying to fill the void left by Natalie's passing. I just noticed you got another beautiful baby but i guess she's not small enough and your looking for another. PLUS you want to start a tiny rescue??? maybe you should take a step back for a little bit and enjoy your new puppy then think about it again later. this is JMHO. | As far as "trying to fill a void" with another tiny..... the rescue idea has absolutely no impact on that subject at all. (and I don't even know if I'd call it "filling a void".... I don't know.... maybe.... that's another topic...)
In essence, I likely would not be the one taking the babies in at all, as far as hands on care..... I would be the "behind the scenes" person.... there are very few "tinies" in my area - at least that I know of going by vet responses to Natalie, etc. - so the majority of placements in foster homes would be throughout the country... not with me.
I will continue to seek out a little one, just as I've stated in previous posts.... but that is for MY heart and that of the baby I find to welcome into my world... a healthy purchase or a sickly rescue... makes no difference, as I've also said..... but that again, has no bearing on the potential birth of the rescue organization. |
