Free to a good home. We recently rescued a Yorkie, Pepper, from a women who was unable to provide the right care for him. He requires a TON of attention and needs to be with people at all times. He does well with other animals, both cats and dogs. As Pepper needs constant attention, we are only looking to place him in a home with someone who can be there for him all day. We would prefer someone with a yard, as he had an acre of land to roam and seems to be most content outdoors.

He is very lovable but does have abandonment issues. He can become aggressive when you leave. Also he can be very depressed if he is left alone for a long time which is why he needs someone with him all day.

His last owner had him for 6 months and his previous owner was an older man who passed when Pepper was about a year and a half old. He's neutered and has his shots also he is house trained and lets you know when its time to go out.

I would love to keep Pepper but he has become increasingly depressed. I am a working professional who is not here most of the day and he really needs that constant love.

Please only inquire if you have the time to spare and love. He needs to work through his abandonment aggression and depression however if you meet him you will see he is very sweet and just needs the encouragement of a loving person!

Please respond with info about yourself and phone number to reach you by.

That sounds like something that would work for us. My mom is home ALL day (she's retired) and when she does leave (to get us from school or whatever) she brings Tucker. I feel so bad for this poor dog. I hope he can find an excellent home.

I do too. I sent her an e-mail telling her of the dangers of listing a dog for FREE. I said I would cross post here on YT and I also suggested that the BEST thing to do would be to surrender him to a Yorkie Rescue, and I gave her the list of the links for them. I hope it works out somehow

His owners answered me, they are thinking of taking down the CL post and may try to see if they can make it work

I gave them advice and the rescue information and also told them to come here and join the YT community.

We'll see what happen
