About a month ago we ran into Winston’s and Maggie’s trainer, in her other life she is a county prosecutor and she also does dog rescues. She said that she was just thinking about us because they just rescued 35 dogs, most of the dogs are Yorkie and one tiny one has 3 legs. I told her to keep me posted. My husband was totally freaking out because we already have Winston and Maggie. So I told him that it doesn’t mean anything yet. The owner has to be prosecuted and the dogs have to be surrendered. Not only that, the County Vet has to give clean bill of health in order for the dogs to be adopted. Well yesterday, I got into work and found an email from Nicole that the little girl is ready for me.

Here is Maemi. She is very tiny.... all skin and bones (maybe 3.5 lbs). The people at the Shelter didn't have much information on her. All they know is that she was rescued from a single wide along with 34 other dogs. She was very sick when she got at the shelter in November. Her hair was totally matted and dirty as you can expect. The lady at the Shelter kind of cut off most of her matted hair. She was probably born with 3 legs, she get around fine and really doesn't look like she misses her 4th leg. She had no name, folks at the shelter called her tripod. At the beginning she was not use to being picked up or being around people but she bonded with one of the ladies at the shelter. When I first picked her up she froze but she warmed up to the idea. I tried to give her a treat but she doesn't know what it is. It really breaks my heart.

The whole drive home from the shelter she didn't take her eyes off me. We really didn't know what we were going to do with 3 dogs and was thinking that maybe we'd only be foster parents. Her eyes really got to me and I don't think I can give this little girl away. She is here to stay. She is never going to be mistreated again.

I named her “Maemi”, its Japanese and it means "honest child, smile of truth, ten thousand blessings and beauty".

She is very sweet, loves for me to hold her. She is getting friendly with Robert. So far, Winston and Maggie are very curious about her but we are still separating them. Maemi is going to our Vet on Saturday; she just got spayed so the stitches need to come out. We also want our Vet to double check her before we let the kids mingle. Wish us luck that all three kids will get along.

God bless you for being so loving... you touched my heart deeply. Please let me know if I can be any help and please give Maemi the much needed love. It breaks my heart to see any animal mistreated.... Good luck and I am sure the kids will get along great because they have such a good mom.

How did I miss this thread when it started? I LOVE happy endings, and this most certainly is one. I hope the other rescued Yorkies were as lucky as Maemi in finding their new homes.

That is a wonderful thing you did taking in that little girl, it's a great feeling to rescue a dog and know that you are going to provide a safe and loving environment for them! Congrats and good luck with all three getting adjusted to one another, we are going through that right now as well!
