Thanks. Well it's a long story. My sister is not a dog person, so when she got my father situated, she just took the dogs to a kennel and started looking for a home. She didn't think to contact me until last night (a week and a half in to this) Since I found out, I've been emailing/calling rescues, gathering info about this furkid, and contacting everyone I know who might help. But its hard to find a place for a mixed breed in a no kill rescue. They are all so full.
He will NOT end up in a kill shelter though.
If nothing turns up soon, I will certainly foster this little one til he finds a home....but thought before we transported him here (I'm several hours away by car) if I could find someone who wanted him or find a rescue that would take him, he'd be better off. (Only having to be transported once). It breaks my heart thinking about him in a kennel though, so sis and I have already made plans to get him here to me if nothing looks promising soon.
I know that he has spent sometime around other family members children, he seems to be good with them, although he has not been raised with kids.
I need to contact admin and find out if its okay to put this in the rescue forum. He's not a yorkie, afterall.
