It would be great to proceed further but I personally dont know where to start......What can I do? What can we do? Are we gonna rescue this little girl? Do we just need money? I am home everyday by 3pm and have the free time (at least till the puppies are born) to help out. I feel sooo helpless and I want to help her in anyway I can. Is there anyone that wants to guide those of us that are clueless as to what we can do?

As sad as it sounds, I don't think there really is anything to do in this instance. But there are lots of other dogs in reputable Rescues that need help just as much as this pregnant Yorkie. Unless she is depriving them of food and water, or flat out beating them, there is no law that protects against ignorant breeding. To give her any amount of money is to perpetuate the problem by making her "business" successful. She keeps letting them breed because it is financially beneficial to her. To stop it, you have to stop the money coming to her. I think she may have overshot on this one as her female does not look like a full yorkie and I am not sure she will find anyone willing to put over a thousand dollars into her knowing she is going to cost a lot more in vet expenses. Maybe this will at least make her fed up and stop doing it. I know that does not help this poor girl, but there are others that can be helped in her name.

If someone does go visit the home and finds a situation that can be reported as breaking a law, that will be a different story. Few of us are near enough to do something like that. So, what can we do? Today, make a small first step. Whether it be a donation, a rescue, a march, a letter writing campaign, reporting a known puppymill, whatever ideas you may have. I think the important thing is to go ahead and make some sort of action towards helping the problem, no matter how big or small. If everyone does one small thing, it becomes a movement.

wondering if anyone went and checked this female out yet? any updates?

[Jemma]

I live 10 minutes from my own animal shelter. I want to go and donate some time. But I need to know, if you volunteer, are you there when animals are put to sleep when not adopted? Please be honest with me. I simply sound crazy here but I could not donate 5 minutes if I had to be there when this is done.
I lost my 20 yr old son 7 years ago. I mentally could not handle that if I volunteered in the shelter. Too much death. I'm sure it affects everyone, but for me it is a severe sensitivity. And I just need to be sure.
Sorry this went off topic. I was going to go there Sat. but.......now I'm scared.

Okay, total brain fart this AM.

Which forum should I start the new thread?

I see the new Animal Protection and Welfare one---- should it go there?

Yes, before I went mostly white I was mostly blonde.

Sorry I did not see this post. Glad you got me by PM and also glad you got your thread up and running in the Animal Protection & Welfare forum. I think Admin is VERY on top of things!! Looking forward to seeing some great input.

WOW!!!

I haven't checked this thread for 3 days after I called her and this has really taken off!

1st...... She is no better than a drug dealer. I am so disgusted.
2nd..... WTF....why would you take a picture of two dogs tying???? And then post it in a for sale ad???? There is something seriously wrong with her. Makes me want to throw-up..literally.

You really have a point about the tying picture. That has really bothered me. Not that it was pornograghic or anything because it was really proof of nothing but two dogs close together. But why WOULD someone do that? She obviously thinks the pregnancy will be in doubt, why? Makes me wonder if there is a pregnancy at all. She can't really know this early, and we all know dogs CAN tie without a resulting pregnancy. So, what does she think she is proving by this picture? Very odd!

just to let everyone know .i tried to get a appoint. to see this preg.yorkie.as soon as she


found out i was close and wanted to visit she said it would upset her other animals and she just couldnt chance that now with her preg. one but she would meet me somewhere to view the dog if i wanted. this is strange. she would not give her address either. as i said i could meet her at her place outside. so what now? what should one think? and you are right i believe that someone may be viewing this site even her who knows as she sure acted strange. she told me 1000.00 cash. she didnt ask a thing about me if i was a puppy mill or breeder so so much for looking for a good home.

First of all, my sincere condolences. 3 of my closest friends are going through the same thing right now and I just can not imagine that sort of grief.
Second, I think that if you volunteer, then the sad part is part of the job description but I can't say for sure. I know if I were you, I wouldn't want any part of it but I can see why you'd want to volunteer. It's such a good thing to do. If I weren't allergic to most dogs n cats, I would volunteer also.

Whatever you decide, I hope it brings you joy.

I don't know so much if she is lurking on this website as it is that she is just plain shady. She doesn't want you at her home probably because of the conditions of the home, animals and who knows what else... we need some good detective work to find out where she lives so you can go by and see...

I wouldn't doubt she read my post where I said that Animal Control said the only way they could do anything is if there was neglect, and poor living conditions. This is probably why she doesn't want anyone coming to her home. She did tell me the area she lives in (696 & Hoover...for those familiar with the area). Oh, btw, she also offered to meet me somewhere rather than come to her home. I tried calling back yesterday but I didn't get through.

So, make that appt. to meet her and the dog with no intention of buying and have someone else nearby to follow her home after the meeting.
