I am from N.Y. Misty and Amber are wonderful. Got Misty first when it looked like no one was going to adopt her. Saw her picture on line. She is blind in one eye and weak back knees from being on wire in a breeding kennel and missing many teeth. She was too tiny to breed but was neglected. Kim, at JUST US RESCUE saved her. Later her sister, Amber, was made available and I adopted her. Her pelvis had been broken but was healed when Kim saved her. I like to look on the site to see the dogs Kim rescues and I saw yesterday that she has a rescued female yorkie from a breeding kennel who she just got who needs a home. "Shasta" is 10.2 lbs. not tiny but a pretty dog. She will be spayed 7/23 and teeth cleaned. Has had all her shots. Kim can fly her to you but it is around $200 . It is safe and done every day if you aren't from the area the dog is coming from. Kim has been rescuing dogs for years and makes sure they are people and animal friendly before she lets them go to their adoptive homes. She also has some other little dogs on her site that were rescued and looking for homes. These rescued dogs are so appreciative to be loved and have a home. My little Misty Grace can run around now that her little legs have gotten strong. The vet saw no reason to operate on them. $275 that Kim asks for is for the spaying, shots, teeth cleaned or some removed and any need that the dog has to get well...certainly that amount doesn't even cover their care but helps with the cost. So essentially the dogs are free.
One other thing...what is a belly band used for? |
What a wonderful lady Kim sounds like! I suggest posting a new thread in the Yorkie Rescue section to you so that maybe someone who isn't looking at this thread, but is looking to adopt will see it. Wish I had room for another as I'd love to have her. Belly bands are like the cloth diapers used on a female that's in heat, but they are for males and only cover the penis area. It looks like a cloth bandaid with velcro on it to secure it together at the top. Hope that helps. It's great for dogs that love to mark. I keep one at my house so with my father comes from PA with his male pom (who loves to mark) I have it to put on him indoors. Oh, and Welcome to YT!
