OK. I just got back from the Mesquite Shelter. Let me tell you, it was heartbreaking. While I was there, which was 30 minutes, I saw 3 people bring in their dogs and cats, and that is just while I was in the lobby! Lord knows how many came in when I was back at the kennels!!
They all said, "I just dont have the money to care for him any more" or "I don't have money to take it to the vet". Sorry excuses!!!! Sell something! You dont give up a FAMILY member! UGH!
Anyway, I did see the male Yorkie. He was picked up as a stray on Friday and he will be available tomorrow at 4:15 for adoption. They do not do any shots, no vet on staff. Adoption fee is 45.00 but in turn they give you a voucher worth that much to go towards the neuter.
Because he is not available yet, I could not take him out to play. He is a Yorkie mix, they said an adult. No clue of age. At this point I am third on the list of people interested in him. Basically, who ever gets there first and wants him can adopt him for the 45.00.
THEN I saw a female yorkie. She was a tiny girl. She has cancer AND she is pregnant. My heart broke, I cried. BUT they said a yorkie rescue was coming after her.
Here is the male available. He is so filthy. I just wanted to take him and love on him and give him a bath. I will try to save him tomorrow. Some one else might beat me to it, if so, I hope he goes to a good family.
