Yorkie in Windsor Area on Pet Finder
 

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=11452452

So this is a link to the lil' guy that I found yesterday and my other half k-boshed! He won't agree to him for a few reasons... One he's older, two he's a rescue and is afraid of inheriting behavioural problems & three he wants a black & tan yorkie. I think those are all ridiculous reason why not to get him and it's breaking my heart that I can't save him.

I emailed the lady who's fostering him and this is what she sent me. I just wanted to post it up here to give him more exposure since I can't adopt him -I'm hoping he'll find a new loving home soon.

Ahhh he is a cutie....work on that BF of yours....maybe you can persuade him...:-)

He is so cute and from their description, seems like a great dog. Hopefully someone will come along and take him to his forever home...:(

Awww, he's gorgeous! Too bad you can't have him.

He is adorable! He reminds me a little bit of Franklin in the face. One thing I want to mention.. I don't know much about rescues in Canada but $675 is extremely high for rescue.

...I just read that part of it is reimbursement for the liver shunt surgery. I still think that's a little high but if you're willing to pay that much, he's adorable and you sound like you'd be able to give him a great home!

I guess it is a little high, but I look at it as he has all his shots up to date, he's neutered already and had his surgery... And even if they threw in a few extra bucks for the rescue to stay afloat that wouldn't bother me. The do a great thing and it takes money to run something like that.

I have officially given up - Julien won't give in no matter how guilty I make him feel. I'm very upset by it though - afterall, I don't ask for much... We're common law, and I'm fine with that - I've never nagged him to get married and have a big wedding and I don't bug him to have children (because neither of us wants them). We don't go on vacation very much because there's very few people I trust to watch Deegan. My pets are my kids... I did sit him down and ask him when or if he would ever agree to another dog, and he said the only way is to get it as a puppy at 12 weeks so that we can raise it completely.
So I guess that's the route I will have to take even though I feel terrible that I can't save Kricket. But I also don't want to guilt Julien into saying yes, and bring the new dog home only for Julien to recent him.
Hopefully one day I'll be able to get him to understand how important adopting a rescue is...

I seen Cricket a couple weeks ago, he is so cute and I would love to have him but I feel that is way over priced, but thats Canada for you! Sorry you can't have him, I am sure he has loving foster parents for now and will have a new family when the time comes, and you will get your second fur baby when the time is right too. I want one too but my hubby doesn't want another yorkie :mad:


Just to add, when I seen the ad he was 550$ and I thought that was still too much 675 now, wow!

They increased the price?!?! I can't believe that! I've been letting people I know that I think would be good pet parents know about him, but they all think that the price is crazy! Which I agree with - but when I want something, I want it & generally don't care how much it costs. But then again I have a good & pretty secure job too... Not alot of people can say that right now. I just hope that he finds the home that he deserves.

Such a cutie pie he is. I would love to have him. I hope he finds a forever home soon. How sad he was found abandoned on the streets. :(
