Rescue need help with some issues... Thanks Hello,
I have a 2 year old female that i rescued. She is a little girl, 4.5 lbs
I work at a vets office and a client who runs a cat rescue brought her in. She found her running around the streets, the owner was trying to get her but she was running away from them. She came to me a huge fluff ball, her undercoat was a complete mess and she needed to be shaved down. For atleast the first 48 hours she wouldn't move, she would sleep and sit in whatever place you put her.
This brings me to the current problems that im havin with her now.
1. She runs away from me when i try and pick her up. My house is 3 floors and she needs to be carried from floor to floor. She cant get down the stairs but just this week started going up. very exciting :-D She likes to run in circles and by the time i get to pick her up she is already gone. Fast little thing.
2. She is becoming knotted cause she wont let me brush her. I try every night but she just runs away when i try.
3. She is aggressive to my other dog a 70 lb black lab mix. She growls at her and barks at her and tries to be the boss of her. The lab becomes depressed when she does that. When i walk up the stairs with the lab the yorkie is right at the top of the stairs growling and barking at her, the labs head goes right down. I also have a maltese that is starting to do the same thing to the lab. The yorkie and Maltese get along great they are always playing and running after one another.
Lab - 3 years in November, spayed
Maltese - 2 1/2 years old neutered
Ive had my yorkie for about 5 months now.
I would really like to get her past some of these issues. She really is a great dog otherwise.
Thanks
