Thank you for telling us that you are not connected with Carla York. We had a very bad experience with her as well. My family are BIG DONORS in the whole animal rescue and shelters world. However, we were so frustrated trying to adopt, filling out so many applications, never getting a response and even calling to never get call backs. We all agreed that NONE of our 2009 budget is going to any dog shelter and in fact we have discussed going to a yorkie breeder only because its a complete nightmare dealing with the rescues, who, in my recent experience think they are God in deciding who is 'self serving' or who is capable. We live in a 7,000 square foot house with 4 adults (no one younger than 29). We have one person who is home 99% of the time and we have a very loving giving environment where the animals come first. We just lost our yorkie and thought it would be great to open our home to another one so that there is one less dead dog at the city animal shelter.
However, we learned the opposite... they dont care that they are killing 189,000 dogs per year and that these dogs are in cages until they have a home.
SAD SAD SAD!
I think we need to regulate these rescues. Perhaps Yorkie Club is better? I would hope so, I'll check it out now. Thank you for telling us!
