I just got this email forwarded to me this morning regarding the 40 Yorkies...

Subject: Yokies in Starke, FL - UPDATE

Hello everyone,

My name is Dianne Schultz and I'm a member of United Yorkie Rescue here in Florida. I have tried to write to anyone and everyone who may have either forwarded this email to someone else, and who may have forwarded to me, and others who forwarded it directly to me. I spoke with Becky Scott this morning - she said that the deceased owner's son gave away most of the yorkies involved in this situation, but that there were also maltese and poodles and some cats that she was working on getting out of the home. This was an overwhelming situation for everyone and thanks to all who offered to help! Becky said that she thought her mailbox was full so I wanted to give all an update.

The dogs apparently were in horrible shape, very unsocialized and all needing extensive medical care - so it's certain that some of them will be returned ............ sigh..............

A post script to this email was from a personal friend of mine who sent this to me. She added:

Remember the 40 yorkies in need? Well the stupid guy stood in front of the courthouse and GAVE THEM AWAY to anyone who would take them!

This was posted in on of the groups but it doesnt tell that part!

I sincerely hope this is not true. Has anyone else heard a story like this? ...That the guy stood in front of the courthouse and just handed over the dogs to anyone who walked by? If true, I bet within a few weeks, many of those dogs will end up at the humane society or worse. SHAME ON HIM!!!
