Welcome to YT. I too bought a abused Yorkie. She was made to stay outside. She was chained to a garden flag pole when we went to see her. She had never had a trim or cut. She had fleas and her little hair was past her chin. She couldn't even see. It was 100 degrees outside, she didn't even have food or water. She was thin and sad. I asked the owner, where does she sleep? She said there on the ground. No shade or anything. She had a old collar on that was half eaten into and chained up with a retractable leash. She had the leash wrapped around the flag pole. She didn't even have room to play or potty. When we walked up to see her. She didn't even bark or anything. She was scared to death. I told my husband, let's buy her and if it doesn't work out then we can place her somewhere. I can't stand for this baby to suffer. She is going to die. They told me, she was updated on her shots. Of course, she wasn't. I took her to the vet as soon as I left from there. They said she was very lucky to have us. The first week, she didn't bark or cry or anything. When she had a potty mistake, she hid from us too. She started to come around after a week or so. Now I can't get her to shut up. LOL She is precious to us. We started crate training her and she slept in the crate until about a month and a half ago. Now she sleeps with me. We bought her when she was 6 months old. They bought her to breed with a yorkie poo. They sold that dog too. She was having a hard time potty training so they put her outside. With a little patience, they will get it right. We have had her 9 months now. She is a very spoiled puppy. She gets everything. I hope this helps. |
