Thanks for the comments so far...and thanks for the lighter picture
Sunday a week ago, the Sunday after that Friday when I first saw the stray Yorkie in PetSmart, our local newspaper had a huge front page article titled "7 out of 10 animals in the city shelter are Killed" with killed in huge letters and the byline that 1300 animals are euthanized every month there. They are simply overwhelmed there at the local animal control shelter. I don't want this dog to slip through the cracks and be euthanized by mistake.
After reading that article anything I can do to put the odds in this little dog's favor will help. I wish they would have let me bring it home in a foster home situation but I can also understand why they don't do that. I am sure that the dog must be scared and needs grooming and a good diet...
