i hope the op is successful in finding this babies' home

Wow, this thread wasn't even started 24 hours ago, and we are on the fifth page now and all of our hearts are gripped with this story of this poor yorkie! So many good ideas, I hope the OP is going to seriously try to find the owners. Putting myself in their shoes, I would be afraid if I posted a found yorkie msg in paper, that I would get every crackpot calling me telling me it was their dog. Boy, they would have to be pretty exact in their description in order to get her back. As far as the long nail issue, I am guilty of not trimming nails, my dogs wont let me near them with those things, lol, so it doesnt get done as often as I would like, but that doesnt make me a horrible person, enough to lose custody of my baby.
Do most people microchip their yorkies or is that a new thing? and is the OP taking the little one to the vet to be checked out? Hopefully it doesnt have any contagious diseases that HER baby could get. Not trying to be a killjoy, it is just that we have an invisible sign above our porch that reads, "All stray animals welcome here. Especially if you are a pregnant cat. With fleas." So I know the stress of what do you do with an animal that needs your help and you are already bustin at the seams.

The op hasn't come back to update, the whole thing is starting to smell kind of fishy to me. How many of you have ever had a yorkie come to your dog and bark, and it not be yours. And, how many of you, if this did happen, wouldn't do everything you could to find the owners, where she says she is going to try to rehome it?

Hmmm...maybe the OP decided to keep the little dog and doesnt want to hear the flack? Just a thought, I kept a dog I found sleeping at the side of the road a few years ago, she is the best dog I have ever had, so gentle and loving. I have always tried to find owners in the past, and I have had animals disappear and wonder what happened to them, and I have decided that keeping this one and giving her the best home I can and loving her forever is better than giving her to a shelter and wondering, will she find her owners or the death chamber. I took her to mcdonalds for a happy meal, then straight to vet, told them I was keeping her, got shots right then and there, and renamed her Sasha. She worships us.

the op also said that pics would be posted tonight... maybe they had to work today and couldn't get on to YT? i dunno, i don't want to think that it's "suspicious" just yet. that would be a very horrible thing to do to people.

I didn't want to think that either, but, shes only posted a handful of times, and like I said, how often have you heard of a yorkie coming up to someones house and just barking like that, and then to say the owners don't deserve to have it back? How would she feel if her dog got lose and no one tried to notify her?

ahhh!
 

The same thing happened to us last summer! My brother was taking out some garbage and found a teapot yorkie in our fenced in backyard. I could hear my brother yelling out my name to come out side with a bowl of water and food. I went outside and he was trying to figure out where he got in from. Our guess is someone same him and maybe thought he belonged to us and put him in our gated fence. He had a collar and we returned him 8 blocks away from us!:)

Then about a week later I was walking out the front door of the house and there was a tiny maybe 3lb yorkie sitting on my front steps. :eek: She had a tag with a phone number and couldn't get a response so googled the phone number and was able to locate the owner 3 blocks away.

I don't know maybe they know that we are yorkie lovers or maybe they have a certain scent among them that they know that we will take care of them.

anyway I am sure that the word is out that if a dog is lost they can go to our house and we will find its home or will find them a home!

Please do try to find the owner! Things happen-- pets get lost-- and it can be very hard to judge the sort of owner by the appearance of the animal, especially when talking about a long haired dog that could become matted and messy really quickly. I know there are some days when people must look at Penny and wonder if I take proper care of her just because she chose to tear through some long grass or a sticker bush ten minutes earlier and we haven't made it back to the car to brush her out yet. ;)

A few years back, when I was working at an animal hospital in SW Michigan, we had a lady bring in a very skinny cat that had been hanging out in the alley behind the restaurant that she owned. She planned to keep him, but she wanted him scanned for a microchip first just in case. Now, if there was ever a pet that we DIDN'T think we would find a chip in, it was this cat-- he looked so pitiful and thin-- but sure enough he had a chip. We called it in, and found that he had disappeared almost a YEAR earlier 300 miles and 3 states away! The owner was shocked and completely overjoyed-- I offered to hold on to the cat for him and care for him at the hospital until the weekend, but instead the owner immediately left work and drove 300 miles at god only knows what speed so that he could pick up his kitty that same day. His family had been sure that they would never see the cat again, since he was a pampered housecat that had never even set a foot outside their house until the day he vanished-- but somehow he wound up 300 miles from home, and survived a Midwestern winter and god only knows what other hardships. And he had a very good owner waiting for him!

yeah i agree if i were to lose my bailey and someone just gave him a new home without trying to find me first i would be heartbroken. i know he wouldn't be in good shape if he got out on his own too.

It's only right to look for the owner, check for a micro chip...and have the dog vet checked.

Please don't judge the OP right off, this is at least the 2nd thread I have read in the last 2 days where people are questioning the validity of an OP because they don't respond to everyone right away - most of us have a life away from YT ---
(even if it doesn't look like it from our post count.)

You're right. sorry! I just feel like the right thing to do would be to try and find the owner. And what do you mean most of us have a life away from YT:D

This must really be bothering me cause I keep checking back to see any updates. So interested in where this little dog came from.

very true and other things can keep a person away from the computer. As for this little girl I would hope a person would try to find out a bit more. It could be that someone stole her or she was lost for several months you just never know..... JMO

I pray all is ok

My dog's nails were terribly long when I first got her, maybe some people just don't cut the nails that often, and with the weather down in Michigan I am sure a yorkie could easily start to look like a homeless dog quickly. I hope they at least try to find the family. Yorkies aren't cheap dogs and they usually have an owner who misses them and would love to have them home.

Why doesn't someone try to call this lady and see what she has to say, she posted her phone number
