So a couple weeks ago a rural county animal control (they don’t have a shelter) called me to say they had a 4 pound Yorkie that a couple brought in and dumped tell them to euthanize her, they were moving and did not want her any more. They didn’t even have a run that was small enough for her.
After about two hours the staff was all carrying her around in their coats to keep her warm and decided she was too sweet to euthanize.
Soooo, off Cali and I go to see about her.
She is skin and bone. Barely 4 pounds. Can count every rub and freezes like a rabbit if you fling your arms around her. Teeth were rotten, is probably about 5 years old, extremely timid and fearful.
Next stage- she lost a out 10 teeth and may lose more. Lab work was pretty good. She is so immaciated she is cold all the time and trembles. Found she has been spayed. Color is strange, kind of apricotish look like maybe Yorkie Maltese mix with HUGE YODA ears.
Now, 3 weeks later— well yesterday she even came to me briefly to be petted. Cali is pretty put out with me. The only dog Diva is being nicer than I thought she would - more like ignoring her
(has a tag that said CeCe and she responds to that but mostly in fear) Cali is just watching to see if she will just go away
The saga continues — am I fostering or rehoming — not sure — she is so timid she needs stability. Right now she is living the good life and I am enjoying giving her that!
