| I got Sage when she was 10 months old from a friend of mine's parents. They were ready to take her to the pound because they realized that they didn't have time to raise a puppy. They had another dog who was about 3 or 4 so they thought adding another would be fine. Well when there oldest moved to California and they next oldest went off to collage in they said it was too much. They were working all day and she would have accidents. They had received her from another lady who got her at a little over 2 months. She didn't want to train her and thought she was to active so she gave her away. I had been looking into getting a dog and needed one that wouldn't bother my allergies. My friend kept saying you can have Sage so I had him bring her over so we could meet (i am very allergic to their other dog). She was very shy when they first came over but then we just hit it off. I made plans to get her in a couple of weeks. Since I got her we have been fine. She's had few accidents but that's ok she's learning. I just love her to death and know we are the perfect match for each other. She just turned 1 and I love her active little spirit. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have taken in a 13 year old male yorkie. I met his owner at the senior bldg where my Dad lives. She was living on very limited income and I offered to groom Nikki for her. As I became more friendly with her I found out she couldn't afford Nikki's rabies shot so I took him to her vet and got him up to date on his shots. He had terrible breath and the vet was able to look in his mouth and found he had severe dental problems. The vet said it would be 900.00 because he would have to build up under the gums or something like that. There was no way his owner could do this so the vet agreed to do it for 400.00 and Nikki had all his teeth pulled and the other work done. When he healed he was like a new dog, he was eating, had more energy and had great breath!! Nikki was found on the streets of Chicago 2 years ago and Carol adopted him from a rescue so we really don't know his history. Sadly 2 weeks ago I got a call from a neighbor that Carol was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a stroke. She is not doing well and will never be able to live on her own so I have taken Nikki in. I have taken him to visit her in the extended care facility a couple of times but she gets very upset and cries so her kids have asked me not to bring him up for now. So my 3 now have a big brother. Here's a pic of the 2 of them.

I had planned on rescuing a Yorkie when we got another dog However, Ilearned about Cooper and just couldn't let her die! Cooper was a little mess. She was taken from her litter at about 5-6 weeks She had no idea how to eat solid food. Her owner quickly grew tired of the puppy stage. So this little 6 week old found herself in a pet taxi most of the day. She was then put outside on a back deck, with little shade, to compete for food with a great dane and a dauchshund. Cooper is a maltese/ shih tzu mix. I brought her home at 15 weeks with a swollen belly and protruding bottom from a can of Campbell's Chunky she was fed before I picked her up. Poor girl couldn't walk for pooping. I had to pretty much shave her down to nothing due to the matts and poop in her hair. I found a mess of skin rash and fungus. Her ears were hard and crusty. Her skin was covered in bump and blisters. *Also, found no penis!!! Her previous owners had said she was a BOY Thus the boyish name. Lots of medication, and continual training of the basics (how to eat, play, and not pooping/peeing where she sleeps) for the past 7 months, she is bundle of furry joy. It has been a long and often frustrating road, but certainly worth it. She makes life more interesting and keeps mommy on her toes. She is such a cuddle bug. You can usally find her (like now) laying right next to me. | |
