Oh my good, it makes my stomach turn around...
This bloody greedy Monsters.
Our Maltese is from a puppy mill, she has lot's of allergies and the first 3 years we spend thousands of $ in vet bills.
But we got so lucky with our Yorkie Romeo. I got him from a former Boss. He was already 4 month old. I grew up with different dogs, but he was the best dog I ever had in my entire life. He was so special, every body loved him. What a wonderful sunny personality our little Teddy Bear had. Unfortunately he got very ill and died with 11 years on pancreatitis/ inflammatory bowl disease. We spend almost $10 000 in vet costs and still could not save him. He left behind is long live companion a little Maltese girl. She is now 12 1/2 and very lonely. We desided after 18 month of morning we gone have another Yorkie boy for our girl.
Of course like you did all before me, I started my research. I found this Yorkie rescue sides, watching them for weeks to find the perfect match.
And one day there he was, right in Las Vegas, 3 yrs old, looked almost like our Romeo...we fell in love just from a picture. We went through all the paper work and getting screened, like adopting a baby. Finally we got the contact information from the foster mom. We were so exited, until we met the foster mom. What a horrible grumpy women that was, we were so shocked. We felt right away she did not like us and we will not get this dog. She saw that the dog bonded right away with us. He was running around all over the place and playing. The dog was very happy. She told us she is fostering also a Westie, she would like to give us that dog ?? I could not believe it. After that visit we waited for over a week until she sends a very cold email saying we will not get the dog. She doesn't feel our place is save enough for Auggie. Even we told her from the beginning, we have our landscaping redone and we are putting a special doggy area in for our dog.
I wonder how my dogs could survive and getting that old. ..
I found out, this women is working in the local no kill shelter. She takes pure breed dogs home, fosters them, put's them on the web site and sells them for a adoption fee for over $500. What kind of business is that, you tell me. I'm very confused about that.
I'm sure not all foster moms are like that, but this is what happened.
May husband wrote a letter to the Director of Yorkie rescue with a report.
We got an answer back, saying it is basically up to the foster mum who she gives the dog to. That was in November. We saw Auggie still available for adoption beginning of March. How hard breaking is that. Poor Baby!
My husband was from the beginning against the idea contacting the rescue sides. He was sure it does not work out...well he was so right.
After that we decided to find the breeder where our Romeo was originally from. We found the name and address and googled it and here comes the next surprise...After his death we find out, that our little boy came from one of the best breeders - Raymond Antonucci (from the Yorkshire of Parquins family) . That's the guy who got murdered in Florida. All his dogs
went to somebody...who knows.
Now you can guess...yes that's my next research. I would like to find a Yorkie boy from the Yorkshire of Parquins line.
If you have any information if this line still exists and who breeds them, please chair your information with me.
Unfortunately we can not go through another bad adoption experience again. We are Animal lovers and very sensitive in our feelings. Our dogs are our children, our little fury people!
Good Bless you all your real Animal Lovers!
Dear Romeo,
wherever you are, one day we gone meet again. I know you will wait at the Rainbow Bridge. Then we will be together forever till the end of all times
Love Mummy, Daddy & Shaolinchen
