She needs the most medical treatment of the bunch and it is going to cost a lot! Marti also let me know that they need food, blankets, towels and bedding. I am going to try and find someone to donate blankets and towels. All dogs will be spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter. I am thinking of going by there tomorrow evening to take a peek at these babies. The adoption fee is less than $100 dollars, and they will leave spayed/neutered, microchipped etc. Oh I wish Hubby would give in! |
As we can see everyone wants the puppies but I would guess not many would be willing to take a 14 yr old Yorkie with mammary tumors and no teeth. Just so sad.
I would assume that this little one will be given to a rescue in the area. It seems that everyone is very willing to help out so my suggestion we be to find out WHAT rescue she will be given to and make donations to them as well. We need to make sure that she is not PTS~which is a real possibility if her vet care will be too high. A very sick and old girl like this will be a huge drain of the funds of any rescue.
Since you already have a dialogue with the shelter, I would run this past whoever you have been talking to to see if a rescue is willing to help her. IMO a 14 yr old yorkie who has been used all her life for breeding needs to be given a good life now that she is finally being released.
