Your retired girls? When your females retire. How old are they? Do they stay with you or do you re-home them? If you re-home them do you charge a fee? Where do I look to re-home her? Is it CRUEL to re-home her? As you have guessed. I am retiring my little girl. I have had offers from people to take her but I really want a special home for her. One with time to spend with her and yes, the money to care for her properly. She is UTD on her shots, Had her teeth cleaned a few months ago and will be spayed before leaving. I am looking in advance it will be about 5 months before it's time. I want to have a home waiting.... I have no idea what to charge or where to look. She is a beautiful little girl, so loving and sweet.. If someone has advice I would be grateful. |
I have several retired females that are just part of our family that I would never part with and I have had a few others that I have either sold or placed for free in to loving homes over the years. One was 3 years old and a few other were 5 or 6 years old. I know it is a difficult thing to do. My advise is to just take your time and ask many questions. What you charge is totally up to you. I feel that finding the best home is the most important thing but I personally think anywhere from $200 to $500 for a retired female is reasonable, depending on her age. You just need to find a home that would be best suited to your female's personality. It is not cruel to rehome if you find the right home. Some dogs would have a hard time adjusting and other would do just fine. It really depends on their personality. A yorkie that has been not been raised with children would probably have a hard time adjusting to a house full of kids and people. A yorkie that has been raised with free run of the home and that is used to being around people all the time would not be happy in a home where they are penned up and the new owners are gone a lot. Personally I like to retire my dogs with people that are retired or stay at home and can devote a lot of time to taking care of their yorkie. Best of luck to you. |
Thank you for your help. She is such a sweet girl. I want to give her the perfect place to live and be loved. Where do you start to look for the perfect home? I do NOT want to simply place a newspaper add. BTW she is 5 years and 4 months old. |
I always advertised on a local website in our area but I do not list my phone number. They have to email me and I get back with them. I interview as many people as is necessary before I make a decision. Also, you can make up a questionnaire for them to fill out and email back to you. You could also talk to your vet and possibly put an ad up at the vets office. And, of course, many people find loving homes for their retired pets through Yorkie Talk. You just have to do whatever method you feel most comfortable with. |
i have two, five year old girls I am going to place any day noww but finding them a great home that is willing to take them together has been a real challenge. i gave them to a person I thought was my friend, got them back in terrible shape four months later. Now that they are healthy again, i have run an ad in my local paper for two weeks and only two calls. In the ad, I asked $100 for them feeling that if people pay a little something, they will take better care of it. i am willing to give them away to the best home tho. I only had two people call from my ads and they were extremely unsuitable homes for my baby girls. other than these, I have only retired one other girl and I gave her to a good friend of mine and she is living like a Princess. |
If you decide to rehome her, I'm sure someone here on YT would gladly take her! |

Oh boy, That is scary. If I might ask, what was wrong with the two homes? I am afraid of her going out of state and not knowing how she is doing. |

I wish I lived closer. I have been looking for months for someone to keep Baron company and play with him. My older Papillion is a Puppy Mill Rescue and has never played with toys or other dogs!! My Niece is @ University of Kentucky and is home for the holidays. I hope you find wonderful forever homes for them... 2 more would be great!! :D |
