| Need SPECIAL LOVING UK home for my baby I am feeling very sick even having to write this post, but our life situation dictates that we have no other option but to sadly rehome Pippy. We rescued her a few years back from an extremely abusive and neglectful situation, and this is why it pains me so much to have to rehome her. She can't go to just any home, she cant have just any owner, no matter how much we have worked with her and tried, she is not 100% house trained so her nappy is a must, she is deadly afraid, which shows itself in one of two ways. Sometimes she runs and hides as if your going to throttle her, or sometimes she becomes grumbly outta fear only.She has shown NO food agression to date, but once she chooses her person, she WILL become overly protective of them and could nip anyone threatening this person or what seems in her eyes to be threatening to take this person from her.She is constantly in a state of what I call needy, as in when you look at her all you see is desperation....she has nervous habits such as chewing her paws, flicking her tounge like a lizzard ect....I love her to bits as she is perfect as an only dog, but with us she is not an only dog, and she HATES sharing anyone or anything with the other pets.She walks beautiful, she baths a dream, she loves grooming, and wants nothing more than to be someones entire world..and I do mean this most literally. We have tried many methods and things to try and intergrate her into our family, and our home, but due to a family death our dinamics have changed drastically and Pippy sadly is now getting even less attention than before..which in particular situation is no good for her. We need someone who is specialized in the care of severly abused yorkie dogs, someone who has the time and patience to get her past the traumas she had in earlier life...she is now 4, un spayed, and very small build. She is a most hearty and beautiful dog physically...infact she is one of the cutest you will see I am quite sure. We have gotten her crate trained now, she has no issues with food, infact her only issue with food is she is very gutsy and always wants more. She should not be 100% trusted in a house with children or other pets, though for the most part once she knows someone she tends to be ok...I personally wouldnt trust her until I was possitive, and dont. This lil dog needs a forever home , someone with all that we don't have...such as loads of time, loads of experience, and most important she would be an only child.If you feel you have what it takes to make the difference to this beautiful lil girl please contact me.I do not wish to be rid of her, but for her good, and for ours I do feel I Love her enough to get her what she needs not what I want.Please email me directly at : dezertblu@yahoo.co.uk and make the subject line RE Pippy. thanks

| Thanks, me too. I have now become a 24 /7 carer for my mother in law with dementia, which will take tons of time away from Pippy, also mother in law has an older dog whom seems to have no problem turning on Pippy, pluss Pippy has now began turning on our oldest dog a border collie who to say the least is getting very tired of the face and leg biting Pippy does to try and control her. I am very worried that one day enough will be enough and the border collie will turn on Pippy, which would be David vs. Goliath in this case. Pippy doesnt ask questions first when it comes to new faces, she is 100% ready to deffend from the start, which then makes our other dogs bounce off her actions and its mayhem.As I said we have worked with her to the limits of our own personal abilities, and simply aren't able to give her what I know she honestly needs ....she needs to be someones only baby, she needs to feel she is the world to someone, and be the lil madam in her own domain.She doesn't settle as she is always in competition with the other dogs and the other people around, which is why she is in a constant state of "needy". I am quite seccure in the fact if she found a home where it were just her and her owner, this would soon settle to contentment as she had reached her goal of being the 100% attention grabber.We do spend as much time with her as we can, we do include her in as much as we can....its just what we have to offer her, how our family dinamics are ect..its just not enough and not the right set up for her, esspecially considering her extreme abuse in the past.She needs an Angel on earth I believe.

| I am a member on the yorkshire terrier and toy breed rescue and they are great people. Welcome to The Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Breed Rescue Also they will have your little one spayed before homing her as its a sad fact that someone might offer you a home just because they want to breed her.
