With so many members that have shown so much love for this poor little girl and offered to make donations I thought I would post the link to this wonderful rescues website. All Breed Rescue & Referral in Gaithersburg, MD went out of their way to make sure that this little girl was saved from the horrors that she was facing. Here is a link to their website if anyone wanted to make a donation in honor of this little girl to: All Breed Rescue & Referral - About All Breed Rescues are pretty much the unsung heroes of the animal world and All Breed Rescue & Referral in Gaithersburg, MD and Robin from their group are the hero to this little girl!:bravo: |

I just went to the website to donate, but there is no Paypal button that I can find. I sent an email to them to see if they take Paypal donations and will let everyone know what I find out. We can send the money, but Paypal is so much more convenient. |
Forgot to mention ... Sorry about that - in my long email update on Bitsy, I forgot to mention that I asked Robin about donating because I knew that everyone wanted to and she said that A) her site is out of date because the person who works on it for her hasn't been able to update it recently; B) she said that people didn't need to donate anything because the woman who adopted Bitsy paid for everything (isn't that great!?!!) - over $1500 already! and C) she said that people could donate to us instead (and while I think that was nice, it is not necessary & I'm simply writing what she said, not begging for money). :D More good news about all of this is that during my conversation with Robin, we realized that we had a mutual rescue friend who I called and is now taking a 13 year old poodle that a shelter called me about. YAY for little Tiffany - she gets a home too! Thanks to everyone for your kind words. There are so many great rescue people out there who dedicate their time to the dogs. I know that RM is blessed with some of the best volunteers in the land! If you are in the PA, MD, NoVA, NJ or DE areas, are a good Yorkie owner and are interested in being part of something great, visit our website: Rescue Me Yorkie Rescue. Peace, jen |
I hope everyone takes time to look at your Yorkies. They are simply GORGOUS. I know people here will fall in love....Great work and yes I want to donate to you. |

I wish I was in MD...I'd take them all!!! |
I hope everyone can check out this web site. Gorgous Yorkies...Rescue Me Yorkie Rescue |
That was very generous of Robin to tell another rescue to post for donations to them; but my donation will be *in honor of* that little yorkie since I realize that her vet bills were already taken care of. I want to do that since she is the one who pulled her from that shelter when no one else could. I cannot imagine not accepting donations! I will await her reply...if she is not in need of donations, I will donate to the sick pups in our group. Nothing against any other rescue....many of the yorkie rescues have large bank accounts. We do not, so I choose to focus my money there. I donate other money to other breed groups, but with yorkies of course my first responsibility is to our rescue. We often are in the red and many of us foot the bills until the funds come in. A look at out 990 on Guidestar will show that..although in saying that I am proud to say we did get into the black finally this past year. No money...but not in the hole for thousands like we are at times. We are so fortunate to have wonderful members who hold their bills out of their genuine love for the pups. |

This is EXACTLY why I am going to start gettin involved with THLN (TX Humane Legislative Network) who works with the HSUS. We have some of the worst and undefined laws regarding animal rights and welfare in TX and I want to help do something about it! As soon as I get a little more knowledge on all of the legislation and how it all works, I am going to become very active in it!!! If you are interested you can check out Texas Humane Legislation Network | Promoting The Humane Treatment Of Animals Through Legislation, Education & Advocacy (if you already haven't!) |

If anything, this has taught me that volunteers are needed to help these little ones out. I just went to the website and registered there. Hopefully they will allow us to help out in some way. Keep your fingers crossed.:thumbup: |

OK...I did hear back from Robin of All Breed Rescue and Referral. I had written asking her how we could donate to her group. Bitsy IS with her rescue and being fostered by Anne who has been mentioned before. Anne paid for Bitsy's surgery and is most likely going to be adopting her. Here is what Robin's email said: Our funds are very limited and donations would be wonderful as we take many sick and injured. We have a great couple vets who are excellent surgeons but are expensive. I cant let any dog be euthanized because of a health problem that can be fixed. We flew a yorkie in from colorado a few years ago. He had legg Perthes i think it was called. He only had use of his 2 front legs. Today he can run faster and jump higher than any other dog and Sampson is a very happy boy. The problem is I do not know how to set up a paypal account. We rarely get donations so it was never really an issue. I would love it if someone could help me to set it up. I am just not real computer savvy. Oh, the little yorkie girl is doing great after her surgery. She was in unbelievable pain and unfortunately the eye had to come out. She is doing so much better now and pain free! Robins website is out of date as she said...and she does not have a Paypal button, BUT I told her that she can accept donations through Guidestar. She also has a mailing address on her website. While Bitsy's care is currently paid for, Robin has taken in other yorkies in the past and she pays for all the veterinary care on her own! I am going to try to help her set up a way to get more donors and/or donations....in the meantime, I thought some of you might want to donate since she is the one who pulled this darling from that shelter. She could use that money to help other pups. She is going to try to get her site updated soon. Anyway...if you want to donate, you can go to: GuideStar nonprofit reports and Forms 990 for donors, grantmakers and businesses Then do a search for: All Breed Rescue and Referral, Inc. Be SURE you scroll down to the one in Laytonsville, MD Then...you will see a Donate Now button! Of course you can always go to the website and send a check. Be sure to make a note that it is in honor of Bitsy! Here is a recent picture of Bitsy.... and also an update from the lady who is caring for her: Here is Bitsy without her blanket. You can almost see the stitches in her right eye lids. Her left eye is normal, although it is reflecting the light in a strange way. She seems to have been trimmed with scissors; I expect that she was all matted and dirty. She still had a few small mats when I got her. Her incision should heal in another week and then the e-collar can come off. My veterinarian was not sure she could survive the surgery, but we knew that the eye was so very painful that we had to try. Bitsy made it fine and my vet took her home for the night to be sure and to give her pain meds. As soon as she was over the anesthesia, she became frisky and bouncy and has taken to playing with the big dogs and sharing their food, even tho she has her own first. What a girl!

Thank you ladyjane for the update and helping them get their donations better set up. We can always count on you to get the job done :bravo: They sound like a great rescue and Im am so relieved to hear the precious little angel is doing better. She already is looking better. |
