They know who to contact on YT that could help find them homes that would meet my standards. Having taken in Nikki in a similar situation, I have realized that some can adjust as long as it is to a loving home. If worse came to worse I too would rather see them safely go to sleep rather then end up in a horrible situation. Working at a shelter I see dogs that just can't adjust to shelter life and it breaks my heart. |

I do think that euthanizing would be preferable to having a beloved pet that has known nothing but your love and care suddenly be thrust into a crowded shelter situation and then maybe subjected to home after home and god forbid abused in some way.
It is definitely food for thought, if nothing else. |
I just want to say that you both have said exactly what I said; but my internet stalkers are trashing me for saying it.
I have received emails and PMs about this.
These people are suspended and/or banned on YT and still read this forum and run around bashing me and also the rescue I volunteer with. I want to express, once again, that my opinions I express on YT are MINE and MINE ALONE and not the opinions of YHR. YHR is a non profit organization with the sole mission of saving yorkies and yorkie mixes. Why these people want to bash such a wonderful organization is unconscionable.
Bottom line is that this is a very good thread that gives people a lot to think about. It is an important discussion for all pet owners.
