Getting a free yorkie!

Not to change the subject, and this little Yorkie isn't totally free, but I got two little toy poodles a while ago (sisters) from a rescue site in Mo. I am from N.Y. Misty and Amber are wonderful. Got Misty first when it looked like no one was going to adopt her. Saw her picture on line. She is blind in one eye and weak back knees from being on wire in a breeding kennel and missing many teeth. She was too tiny to breed but was neglected. Kim, at JUST US RESCUE saved her. Later her sister, Amber, was made available and I adopted her. Her pelvis had been broken but was healed when Kim saved her. I like to look on the site to see the dogs Kim rescues and I saw yesterday that she has a rescued female yorkie from a breeding kennel who she just got who needs a home. "Shasta" is 10.2 lbs. not tiny but a pretty dog. She will be spayed 7/23 and teeth cleaned. Has had all her shots. Kim can fly her to you but it is around $200 . It is safe and done every day if you aren't from the area the dog is coming from. Kim has been rescuing dogs for years and makes sure they are people and animal friendly before she lets them go to their adoptive homes. She also has some other little dogs on her site that were rescued and looking for homes. These rescued dogs are so appreciative to be loved and have a home. My little Misty Grace can run around now that her little legs have gotten strong. The vet saw no reason to operate on them. $275 that Kim asks for is for the spaying, shots, teeth cleaned or some removed and any need that the dog has to get well...certainly that amount doesn't even cover their care but helps with the cost. So essentially the dogs are free.

One other thing...what is a belly band used for?

What a wonderful lady Kim sounds like! I suggest posting a new thread in the Yorkie Rescue section to you so that maybe someone who isn't looking at this thread, but is looking to adopt will see it. Wish I had room for another as I'd love to have her. Belly bands are like the cloth diapers used on a female that's in heat, but they are for males and only cover the penis area. It looks like a cloth bandaid with velcro on it to secure it together at the top. Hope that helps. It's great for dogs that love to mark. I keep one at my house so with my father comes from PA with his male pom (who loves to mark) I have it to put on him indoors. Oh, and Welcome to YT!

I am one of the concerned that maggiesmom_2007 is referring to, I don't think anything is up my butt, but I was deeply concerned about a lady going somewhere she has never been because of an ad. Watching the news and seeing all of the people getting raped and killed because they responded to craigslist ads and newspaper ads frightens me. It is healthy to be AWARE not IGNORANT. Thank goodness the OP was aware.

There are good people out there, YT is filled with them, but there are some very sick people out there also. The outcome here is AMAZING, but not typical.

Not trying to rain on the happy parade but I was very uplifted by the level of concern, not discouraged.

That being said CONGRATULATIONS on the 2 lovely additions to your family, post more pictures and spoil your new babies. Let us know when you come up with a name for your little guy!

Nope I wasn't referring to you either. I do know the difference between concern and negative posting. I to was concerned for the Op going by herself and I am glad she took someone with her. But the person I was referring to posted about taking a man to be safe and then about taking a gun with her. I know all the problems wioth the puppymills and I am an active member on several groups trying to shut them down but whatever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt. Granted I know some were concerned with her getting sick dogs but to tell someone that they shouldn't because they would end up paying out more in vet bills is alot different than saying they may end up doing that. I never stated any one was Ignorant and I would never say that about anyone I merely stated there were negative posts and that being said I am done with this conversation because continuing will go nowhere. I stated my opinion and Now I will go back to reading and learning what I need to know.

That is why i said what I said. There were alot of people that did give their opinions but they also gave congrats to. I am in no way criticizing you as it wasn't directed at you and I am sorry if you thought it was. I know most mean well with their advice but like I said not everyone is out to do you wrong. There are still some nice people out there.

Hmmmm, I'm sure you are referring to me and although I do not need to offer you a reason that I have not posted I will clarify to YOU as you must not know me because if you knew me from the board you would have KNOW from my post that I had an accident~a very serious accident. I fell and broke my arm on Thursday. It is broken in 3 places and I have been dealing with this personal issue. I've been on pain meds for the past 3 days and really pretty much out of it. So now that I have explained my late posting to YOU even after the rude accusations, I would like to congratulate the OPer on her new puppies. You really lucked out and came home with 2 little cuties. I hope they bring lots of joy to you and your family.

*I would also like to add that when you volunteer with rescue you are exposed to the worst elements of the breeder world. Maybe if you had some spare time you too could volunteer time and be able to wrap your mind around our caution to situations like this. May I also suggest you choose your friends and allies wisely

Sorry to hear about your broken arm. Must be very painful. Hope that you heal quickly.

Thank you for your well wishes. Not sure why a select few on this thread felt I was rude or whatever, I was just concerned for their safety. When I first saw that thread I PMed the OPer my cell number and email because I was concerned that if she went and the dogs were not healthy or she felt she did not want to take them she would have someone to reach out to for help. I knew that I could find help in that area if need be. You just never know what you might be walking into, whatever the situation it is better to err on the side of caution. I never heard back from my PM to her so I am not even sure if she even received my PM. I always try to be helpful and I believe that most members do fine me honest and helpful.

*sorry if there are a few errors in spelling ane wording one handed and on Vicadian will do that to a girl

If you had read the last post I made you would also see that I was not referring to you unless you suggested the OP take a gun with her when she went to go look at the puppies. I do think it's funny that people keep thinking it was them. As far as the working in rescue, I have and I know it's not a pretty sight. in fact I was exposed to that when I was in my teens and volunteering at a local animal shelter. Have you ever seen a dog come in with half it's head bashed in and it's barely clinging to life. I have. That dog was brought in from a breeder who deemed her no longer breedable. I have plenty of friends and allies so please don't make any suggestions on that part.

Bummer about your arm. I broke my wrist one time and it messed me up for months as it was on my primary hand.

In regard to the firends and allies wisely. Why must that be an issue here at YT? I have never seen this forum as being Pro and Con Yorkie or Pro and Con Breeders or Pro and Con Millers. I see this forum as being informational to all people and hope that the people that are offering advice are honest in their credentials. I hope that people that are offering words of encouragement and congratulations as being sincere. If this is about getting the most friends on my side then I am in serious trouble here at YT. I guess I will need to re-think my membership.

You both meant well and both sound like super people. Most animal people have kind hearts. Anyone would be lucky to have you both on their side. We all need to get together and do something to close puppy mills.
