I adopted a 7 yr old 5lb female yorkie from a backyard breeder and one of the very first thing I did was to get her to a vet. My yorkie also had rotten teeth and was in a lot of pain. She had been neglected and her hair and teeth were just horrible. I did that the first few days after getting her. Once I knew she was okay physically, I than began to work on her emotionally.. Other than her teeth (only 4 teeth left) and worms, she was in suprisingly good shape. I did most of the things every one has already suggested. But make sure you get her to the vet if you haven't already. I knew once she was not in any physical discomfort, it would be much easier to bring her out of shell. We still have a long way to go. She still will not let anyone pick her but me and she is still suspious of others but she has come a long way. |
Good advice here already. A Little over three years ago we adopted an ex mill yorkie. He had been free for about three weeks when we got him. He had no socialization skills at all but that was expected. My two other babies helped alot with him. He would watch them and what they did. I remember just how scared he was when we got him home. He would not let himself fall asleep. He leaned up against the sofa and would try so hard not to sleep. He was just so scared. It's going to take TIME, PATIENCE,and LOVE. I never thought I'd get kisses from him but I do now. It'll work out just fine if you remember those three things. Bless you for adopting her. If I can help in any way you can PM me.:animal-pa |
Definitely get the vet care first. Then patience...persistance...and plenty of love. Try to get down to her level and see if she'll come to investigate you...if so, let her explore with sniffing, touching and licking. Talk to her gently just to let her know you're there. I'll hope and pray she comes around...please keep us updated... |
Just checking for an update on little Grace. God bless you for rescuing her ... she will come around! :thumbup::thumbup: [I am PMing you.] |
What a wonderful thing you have done for this little baby. It is amazing what a little love can do. You are going to find a lot of support on here! Where in Texas was the puppy mill? |
Good for you for saving this baby. About the food you may want to take some organic chicken broth about a teaspoon put on kibble and add some organic baked chicken and then dillute and put in micro for 20 seconds to soften it up as my demi lost 27 teeth and does not like soft food and loves it this way. I use ice cube tray and poor the broth in it and freeze then put in baggies so not to waste it. I got the organic chicken broth at whole foods. |
Bless you for having a good heart to adopt. I hope she will come around soon. |

I wish I had advice but I just want to say you are her angel and she will come around in due time! How sweet of you to rescue her and give her a good home! |
What a wonderful loving family you have. Gracie is now going to have a chance. To just think that everything good that is going to happen to her now will be the first, and all because of you. Be so very patient with this little girl as she no nothing but bad things. You have a very hard job ahead of you here, but the first time she responds positively everything you all have gone through for her will be worth it. |
