I get an automatic e-mail sent to me for any yorkies that turn up for adoption. I just signed on with YTNR to rescue and foster here in the Bay Area of California.
An e-mail was sent to me this morning about a yorkie in Berkeley that was available for adoption through Adopt-a-pet. I e-mailed and left a phone message to the appropriate person within 1 hr. of receiving the e-mail. I expressed that I would like to foster this dog for ytnr for our excellent screening process and even had an interest in this yorkie for myself.
I got an e-mail basically blowing me off because they said they had plenty of interest in this dog already. If they did not adopt it out THEN she would call me....Well of course they have interest but their screening process at the shelter for a cute yorkie dog is NOT at all the same as ytnr rescue screening. Most people do not know the breed as we yorkie lovers do.....
I even offered to drive up today ( 1hr drive) to get her and still no answer. I thought shelters want to work with rescues so far I am not impressed with them..........
