Sadly, Yorkies are not uncommon in the shelters around here
Although he's one of the smallest I've seen. The sad thing with Benji Buttons, is that someone has obviously loved this little Yorkie. He came into the shelter as a stray. He was on the euth list and not available for adoption to the general public because he had no teeth - And they thought that made him unadoptable
Very sad - I couldn't have possibly hoped for a better dog, he's perfect in every way (well, we're still working on him not lifting his leg inside - But we'll get there! He hasn't even been here a week yet!). He was a bit messy, but not really matted, and someone obviously spent quite a bit of money to have his teeth removed. He's in good weight and condition over all. I can't imagine how this sweet baby ended up as a stray - But I must say I have to feel as if it was ment to be for my sake - But my heart breaks to think that somewhere someone is probably missing this little angel, and can't imagine why they never went to the shelter looking for him - I know if god forbid I ever lost my Benji I'd be frantic checking every shelter and posting notices and ads EVERYWHERE to find him again - I've also had him microchipped so that should help, but I pray I never have to worry about that - He doesn't ever leave my side anyway, but crap can happen to even the best dog owners! I even went as far as checking paper and Craigslist archives for the last couple of months, but it doesn't seem as though anybody there was missing a dog with his description. But for my sake - I'm glad, he has been just what my heart needed to help me recover over the very sad death of my sweet angel Portia who was claimed far to young - Years of neglect before coming to me left her heart and epilepsy so hard to control that despite 5 daily epilepsy drugs and 4 heart meds, and valium as needed we still struggled to keep control, until finally that last bad cluster was to much for both of us, and she let me know she was ready to go. She was with me just under a year - But I take comfort in knowing my dear Portia died knowing she was loved.
