YT 1000 Club Member | Sorry for your situation. It is very mature of you though to realize that you can not meet the needs of your little fur baby and very wise of you to seek a new home for her...

| When I got my Yorkie he was 22 month's old and a rehomed. I say at 7 month's he is still a baby and you should have no trouble getting a new place for him. My Toto is just the best dog. Just be careful who gets him. I knew nothing about yorkies, but, my hubby had several of them at one time so was able to advise me . Good luck. |

| I don't think you would have trouble re-homing her.... and it is probably the best decision. Just make sure you know she will be going to a good home! I want to see pix!! (I'd love to have another little girl, but your kinda far from me )

| Sorry to hear about your situation - divorce. Glad also to read you are looking out for your cutie pie. If I were you, I would get her spayed first so that she is raised as a loving pet. I worry about unethical people exploiting yorkies. Perhaps her possible new home - could be folks you know from church, clients, friends? I wish you success finding a new forever home for your baby.

| Thank you all for your replies and compassion towards the situation. Some of you mentioned "doggy day care". Does anyone have an idea what a doggy day care might charge? I might want to look into that before fully giving her up. Another question I have is, I enrolled in an Obedience school class that starts on June 18th and goes on for 6 weeks (one night per week).....do you think it would be good for me to have little Lulu go through this before trying to find a new home for her? She really has no training right now other than playing fetch and some potty training on potty pads. |

I think this is an excellent idea.....the more training the more inclined someone will be to take her...

| Leaving your baby at the day care is a good idea. I used to leave Kimchee at day care once a month so that he can get familiar with other people and I can get a 'dayoff' doing things that I like. I leave Kimchee at Petsmart PetsHotel. They charge $18, it includes a doggie day camp. I live in Redmond, WA. So I guess Petsmart PetsHotel would charge very similar over in Mill Creek. I hope things work out for you. I know how hard it is to rehome your baby.

| Sorry about your situation ... I understand what you are saying . My daughter has been in your place and she has her dog. Her dog is now 7 yrs old . But she has gone through a lot with my daughter ( her divorce and moving several times ) but there are still times my daughter feels like it is such a responsibility ( and she does not need another exp with the new baby ) sometimes you just have to do what fits your needs and the puppy's needs for now ... and who knows what will happen. I adopted out an eight year yorkie and kept in touch with his new owner and he loved another 7 years and I got to see him last summer before he passed away . It was very rewarding to see the care his current owner had given him .
