Now I am going to jump into this and you all might not like what I am going to say but I really need to get this out..........
I truly do not understand why everyone is scrambling to take these two particular dogs? This is the RESCUE forum and most of the people posting to this thread do not even normally post here. So to me this is not a rescue but a fight about 2 FREE dogs. There are plenty of Yorkies that need to be rescued. Pick one and make a real difference instead of arguing about who should get these two! Right now in this forum there are dogs that might
DIE because they do not have a home and you are arguing if the OP should allow a Yorkie Train to take them across the country to NM! This is crazy!
Here are a whole list of Yorkies in the NM area that are in rescues and need homes. I think it is wonderful that everyone is willing to stand up and say that Mitzis Mom is a great home so maybe she will consider a real rescue instead. There are so many in need and in real danger of death! No need to form a train and take these two across the country:
Yorkie, Las Cruces, NM: Adoptable Pets: Petfinder
When I was looking for help with a train just across Indiana to pick up Truman it wasn't even possible to put together. I drove there myself 500 miles each way.
I would bet that without even looking at any of the other dogs that have been posted in the RESCUE forum most are just coming back to this thread to argue about these two free yorkies.
I just don't understand it at all. You all need to take a step back and look around you and see what is going on. When I saw this thread originally in the General Forum I posted and offered to help. I never got a response back from the OPer. I also cautioned that these 2 little guys were UNALTERED and that they are being offered for free. I knew this would turn into a circus.
To the OP, my offer and suggestion still stand. I would be more that wiling to help you place them into a Yorkie Rescue who would rehome them without all of this arguing. Rescues fully screen applicants and then place the dogs after they have been spayed/neutered. There is no guessing who would make the best home because each applicant is fully checked out. This is very sad to see in the rescue forum when so many are dying.
