Check this little guy out....
Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Commerce, MI | Bitzy..PLEASE!!!!!
I've been seeing him on petfinder for MONTHS now...maybe even close to a year When I originally started looking for a dog, he was paired with 2 other dogs and they all had to be adopted out together. I believe the owner had passed away and one of her last requests was that they all 3 stay together.
Months later, after trying to honor the owners wishes, the rescue decided to split them up and adopt them out...probably because it was impossible to adopt out all 3 together... and this little guy is in need of his furever home!! 15 years old is quite old for a dog and I am guessing he doesn't have more than a few years to enjoy his life...if that...and he deserves to live out his last few years as a spoiled pet. If I didn't already have a senior dog with health problems, I would for sure snatch him up and spoil him rotten for the remainder of his days....but I know I can't afford the vet bills to two seniors and give them both the medical care they need and deserve.
I am pretty sure I ran into the lady who runs the rescue at the mall. She has a booth there and raises money for her rescue...and it seems like she's really passionate about rescuing.
I wish I had the money and space to run a doggie retirement home!! I'd definitely take this little guy in. There are so many senior dogs out there that are in desperate need of homes and are really difficult to adopt out(thank goodness there are rescues that are patient)...it always makes me sad to see them displaced at such an old age. In some cases, like Bitsy's case, it couldn't be helped...but it just kills me when people have a dog for 10+ years and they simply decide they don't want it anymore and get rid of it like they would an old pair of shoes. It just makes me sick.
If anyone lives in the area...and has the space and financial means to take care of a little old man, this little guy could use a furever home...and his adoption fee is only $150!!
