It would be great to proceed further but I personally dont know where to start......What can I do? What can we do? Are we gonna rescue this little girl? Do we just need money? I am home everyday by 3pm and have the free time (at least till the puppies are born) to help out. I feel sooo helpless and I want to help her in anyway I can. Is there anyone that wants to guide those of us that are clueless as to what we can do? |
As sad as it sounds, I don't think there really is anything to do in this instance. But there are lots of other dogs in reputable Rescues that need help just as much as this pregnant Yorkie. Unless she is depriving them of food and water, or flat out beating them, there is no law that protects against ignorant breeding. To give her any amount of money is to perpetuate the problem by making her "business" successful. She keeps letting them breed because it is financially beneficial to her. To stop it, you have to stop the money coming to her. I think she may have overshot on this one as her female does not look like a full yorkie and I am not sure she will find anyone willing to put over a thousand dollars into her knowing she is going to cost a lot more in vet expenses. Maybe this will at least make her fed up and stop doing it. I know that does not help this poor girl, but there are others that can be helped in her name.
If someone does go visit the home and finds a situation that can be reported as breaking a law, that will be a different story. Few of us are near enough to do something like that. So, what can we do? Today, make a small first step. Whether it be a donation, a rescue, a march, a letter writing campaign, reporting a known puppymill, whatever ideas you may have. I think the important thing is to go ahead and make some sort of action towards helping the problem, no matter how big or small. If everyone does one small thing, it becomes a movement.
