The same thing happened to me on 8/6/11. I already have a wonderful Yorkie, Bailey. He is now two. My son's girlfriend found the stray Yorkie. I had her do posters, the vet, ride around the neighborhood, call the shelters, no microchipping. No luck. I called shelters, no kill, they did not want him. I was busy calling places when my son's friend arrived with him.I took one look at him and said he was mine. I took him to the vet, had to neuter him, shots and teeth cleaning. He was very under weight and appeared he was abused. He is house broken. The vet said he is four. Bailey is two.
I named him Benny. He has turned out to be a wonderful dog. We just love him. He gets along just fine with Bailey.
The best we can tell, someone did not want him, did not feed him, and put him out on the street.
The economy is so bad, people are just dumping their dogs. Yes, even wonderful Yorkies. The no kill shelters are filled and or want a "shot record". They said the dog had to be released by the owner.
I never "rescued" a dog before. Always bought puppies with long lines so I knew what I got. Well, I took a chance and went with my heart. I now have two wonderful Yorkies and am very happy. It feels very good to have saved this wonderful dog's life.
The vet gave me discounts on his services. He rescues dogs too.
Try to find the owner, we did for days, but, if it fails, think about what happened to me. |
