I had one write me back and YELL at me for letting her get mean..????????? They accused me of lying and just wanting to get rid of "my problem".. I was shocked!!! |
Not all rescues will take dogs with biting issues...they are afraid of being sued. And, you need to understand that foster space is very limited! There are WAY too many yorkies being bred and sold to people who end up dumping them. It is a constant problem. We cannot possibly save all of them.
I am sorry that a rescue blamed you. That really is unnecessary...but, there is good and bad in everything. I am sorry that I am so far from you. I think it would be easier to find a solution. I personally could not take her at this time because I am at my limit, but I have contacts locally and maybe could come up with something. Just being aggressive with men should not be an issue....with female dogs is an issue....it would be best to have her in a foster home with only male dogs. I have no problem working with problem children! Actually I love them...to me that is true rescue.
If she is biting men, WHY is the woman allowing men to handle her?!?!!?!? Not that it matters now...since she is returning her. I am sure you told her she had an aggressive problem with men? Heck you told us so I am sure you told her all of the history. When we place a pup like that we make sure that they will not be put back in the same situation.
Try United Yorkie Rescue since they may have space in a foster home closer to you. If you do not get anywhere....I can try to see if I can find a spot for her, but she will need to be shipped which I am not so keen on. Maybe we could get someone to fly round trip with her.
