Wish List

Wheelbarrows to go from kennel to kennel.....pens for outside....

The entire site brings up many questions for me.

They do not mention a 501c3 which could be because they have not gotten it yet...OR could mean they are not non-profit. I did not see mention of that either.

So many people call themselves rescues anymore because it is an easy way to sell dogs. There is so much bad publicity about mills and byb'ers and many people don't want to buy because of it; so the bad breeders have gotten smart and maquerade as rescues, duping the public.

I personally would not adopt from anyone who did not vet a dog...these people obviously do not. They have all of the disclaimers about IF your dog is sick and warn about the things these dogs could have. No reputable rescue will intentionally adopt out a dog that is ill....and certainly not adopt out a puppy as young as they are .. unaltered at that.

My take on them.....not good.
Hi Lady Jane! We've been waiting for you!

DW suggested that we come to YT for help before we list the pup. We weren't thinking of adopting this pup ourselves, but did not want to list the rescue without getting advice from more knowleagable YT members than ourselves.

I guess we are just suckers for a sad story!

Thanks again for looking into this. We really appreciate it!

Sorry everyone! This rescue does appear "iffy" at best. We got another PM from a VERY knowlegable YT'er indicating this pup is not a biewer or parti yorkie either, but she sure is cute!
