Go out to Yorkies Wanted/Homes for Rescues- Forum.. Look at the post today for Babsey in Jacksonville and read my reply...
Try calling them you say???!! How about them calling me?? Most of the rescues tell you on their websites -We don't take calls... Funny, a phone call was all I wanted and the least this organization could have done. You're right..These people do not know me personally, that's why a phone call would have been nice.. They chose to 'blow me off'. That was their choice. Fostering is a tough job. I applaud you for volunteering. If the Foster would have given me a few minutes I may have been this Yorkie's new fur-ever mom.. I respectfully disagree- a fenced yard is NOT important. There are plenty of condo and apartment dwellers, like myself who do it the 'old fashioned way' we walk our Yorkies on a leash and not just turn them out to a fenced yard. Leash walking provides discipline and exercise. It provides socialization and not to mention is great for the owner. You can provide boundaries and rules inside the house. Having or not having a fence should NOT be a factor. Rescuing is wonderful. I've done it twice. I just Monday lost my 16 year old Tigger Too.(See my RIP Post on the RIP Forum- Tigger Too's Last Flight) I rescued him 14 years ago sight unseen. I would like to rescue again but this group has really made me bitter. I've received several private messages and can tell you, I'm not alone. Many YorkieTalkers have been denied by unreasonable and judgmental rescue screeners. I appreciate your view... I thank you for your volunteer service. |
