I know exactly how you are feeling. A few months ago I met a woman on the street. I was stopped at a light and she approached my car. She saw how my lil Gizmo was "king of the passenger seat" and ask if I wanted another dog. She was 8 months pregnant (about 40 yrs old). She said she had four kids, two in state custody and the babies father was in jail for battering her. I agreed to go to where she lived to meet the dog. On that day I say her coming down the street and what looked like a filthy matted dirt filled rug wandering about without a leash. She yelled his name and he came running. His hair was all over his face so he could hardly see where he was going. He wasn't a Yorkie but he was a dog in need of rescuing. I knew if I left him that he would not survive. So, I took him. I got him groomed, took him to the vet for his shots, and found out he had an infection in both ears. He is half Lhasa Apso and half Dachshund. I am on a fixed income and had to spend my last $500 dollars in savings to help LUCKY. Like yourself, I thought I would help him and then find him a home. When I picked him up for the first time to cuddle him her trembled. When I fed him he ate like he had not eaten in days. When I went to bath him he jumped out of the tub. Long story short, he has adapted very well and there is nothing he would not let me do to him. He is loved. Now, LUCKY is home. So much for re-homing :>). I wish you the best in whatever you decided. You are a very good person. God Bless. |
