I am sooo heartbroken and with tears, I pass this along to everyone here who has been so supportive.
For those of you following my attempts to adopt the Yorkie stray, when checking up on her this morning at animal control, I received this email:
-------------------
Unfortunately, we have some bad news concerning this Yorkie. When our vet staff came in this morning, we found she had passed away. She had been eating and drinking normally up to this point, as the vet staff was monitoring her regularly. It is possible due to her age and/or the stress of the shelter life that the dog passed away. We're sorry to have to inform you of this situation.
We do greatly appreciate your interest in this dog. It is a sad reality that a lot of times the animals we pick up have never been cared for properly and are not in the best health when brought into the shelter.
