I understand YTNR has to follow procedure, but I just wish I had been informed beforehand of all their policies.

Also, I did ask YTNR to PLEASE try and place them together, and they assured me they would TRY but could not guarantee it. TxVicki, you were probably looking at the right two dogs - Bode (pronounced Bo-dee) and Emma, but that adoption fee is for EACH. The two together are $1600.

On one hand, I feel like no one is going to pay that much for both dogs, so they'll almost certainly be separated. On the other, if someone DOES pay that much, they'll surely want only the best for them.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20. Even as my heart tells me I did the right thing, it bleeds into my soul. I knew that I would grieve, but I never thought I would be inconsolable. My spouse keeps saying, "We can get a lawyer and get them back," but no...no, we can't. We can't bring them back into the same situation. They need more than we can give them. Sometimes love just isn't enough.

I've been following this thread. I know nothing about rescue, but my heart goes out to you. It really sounds as if you loved these pups dearly and tried to help them. I hope they will get placed together, I know there are people who want more than one yorkie. I also hope you can get some peace in your soul that you did all you could do for these little ones.
