I am really surprised by response of some members on this website. Obviously, OP posted that he has made a reasonable effort to find a dog owner but without success. OP sounds like a responsible dog owner and came to learn more about yorkies on Yorkietalk, and I don't understand why some members are so hostile. If my dog gets lost, yes I will be devastated and I would do anything to find her. But if I cannot find her, I would hope that a responsible person has found her to take good care of her instead of her ending up at a pound.
Also, majority of you forget that most yorkie owners are not on Yorkietalk. Many yorkies are not adored by their owners or treated well - no one knows what background this yorkie is coming from (note she is not spayed - red flag to me). We should be happy that this yorkie found a caring family who tried to find an owner and now attempting to learn more about this breed. Sitting here and screaming that a dog is someone's property is really not in the best interest of this yorkie. She needs a loving family that would take care of her.
To OP, I hope that you don't leave this forum. I think that you did the right thing in terms of looking for owners and now taking in and caring for this dog. This forum has a lot to offer in terms of care for yorkies and I hope that you stick to learn more. I also strongly recommend spaying the dog! |
