I took him to the vet and they said he had luxating Patellar's. and would need surgery but the vet did not do surgeries and referred me to another vet. The diagnosis was the same .Both knees need to be done and the coast would be 6000.00 dollars. Of cause they would do one at a time.

I am a senior citizen and on a fixed income it is impossible for me to raise this amount of money right away. I could not get credit because of insufisant income. I had no choice but to surrender my dog to save a yorkie for him to get the treatment he needs.

Not 8 hours after they took my dog I had access to the funds I needed. I called and asked them to give him back as now I could pay for the surgery.

They say he is very happy where he is and they do not think he needs the surgery . They have not even taken him to a vet yet. But they say he does not need surgery.

They will not return him to me. I had the vet call them and explain the diagnosis. I even offered to pay the adoption fee to buy him back. They are stealing my dog. What can I do? Any suggestion?
. Im broke hearted.

Did this Rescue Group not explain to you when you surrendered the Yorkie to them, that you needed to make sure you wanted to do this???

I am coming at this from the Rescue point of view. I have Volunteered with a Rescue Group and when ever we have someone wanting to surrender their dog we talk with them before any papers are signed. Signing those papers are legal. WE make sure the owner knows that the Pet can be returned once they sign them over. That is why we explain and talk with them.

It is unfortunate that this Rescue Group is saying he doesn't need surgery. I pray that they have taken him to the Vet and had him looked over and had leg's checked out.

I did go their web site and looked and he is posted. It does say he will be going to the Vet.

I am sorry this happening to you.
