Don't give up!
 

Please don't give up. I just had an acquaintance on another forum have her dog returned to her last week after missing for 4 months! The gentlemen/woman who found her took the time to look to see if someone was missing a dog. It was one of the most heartwarming stories I have followed this year.

How thoughtful Sandy...

i hope you find your baby! my heart breaks for you! i can't imagine this! prayers for you and your baby!

OMG you are making me cry. Today I was just going to burst again in tears but I swallowed so hard and said NO 'Im not crying right now, I will PM you the avid chip and get the names of the Managers in the Humance Society and Animal Control for my area. Any help especially that you work in the same field is a lot of help!

I just wanted to tell you all that the lady gave up the dog to me. The first thing I let her know is that I will care for him and give lots of attention but I have to see how he does with my other dogs. If I need to rehome him the only place I will consider is Dogs & Cats forever. They have a house about 5 miles from here and they have an office there. The dogs are in playpens and some crates for the cats. They are pretty thorough in interviewing people that want to adopt and will place a dog or cat according to the family.

His name is Jasper is all over my room right now! He is hyper!
But it seems that he really needs a family with one or no pets at all. He is very affectionate. I call him and he runs and puts his paws on my lap and just stays there forever as long as I pet him. Very sweet dog.
He is very well taken cared of as far as being well fed, toys .What he really needs is someone who is going to baby him and take him on lots of walks. She drove up to me at PetCo and he was in a pretty nice padded crate with his toys, had his toothbrush ,toothpaste and all his papers including his microchip info that will have to be transfered to a new owner. She hand wrote a quick letter saying she was surrendering the dog to me. I dont want to be accused of taking in a stolen or lost pet!

I want to ask around maybe here in YT for someone that is looking to add another yorkie to their family. I really want him to go to a good home.
I took him because I was afraid the owner would end up taking it to any shelter :(

This is the only pic I could take of him today.

Gen,
Maybe Sandy could help you with this too..

Can anyone PLEASE check this out? They were not helpful to me!
Please give this shelter a call. I have been checking through any FL shelter. Icalled regarding this Yorkie that they got 12/01/09 they say his name is Max. He is NOT in their adoption section so I wondered. THey say he is about 4 yrs old , neutered male.

I asked if they could scan him and if he had a collar with that name Max. The lady asked me what I needed and I told her I lost my Yorkie. She said I had to come in to see if it was him. I explained that I am about 4 hrs away from them. Then she just tells me " This cant be your dog....how would he end up here?"

I just told her that a neighbor of mine had lost her yorkie last year and she got a call from a shelter 3 hrs away! SO I told her anything is possible and I need to check this out.

She said sure let me get his records. She comes back after a couple of minutes and says "This cant be your dog, it was surrendered by its owner"

I didnt want to keep on and on but why would this dog be under Lost & Found?

MAX - ID#A041032

My name is MAX.

I am a neutered male, brown and black Yorkshire Terrier.

The shelter staff think I am about 4 years old.

Hi Gen. If I have learned anything in my life, it is that the Lord works in mysterious ways. Thank you for finding room in your heart for this little baby.

Awww, he is cute. I am still keeping my fingers crossed though that your little boy will return home soon. Just an FYI, the lady that does grooming helps find homes for animals all the time. It may be something worth looking into just in case, also my mil does it all the time as well. SHe volunteers at a shelter in Okeechobee. I have had her look for Cookie at that shleter as well. It is a no kill like D&G Forever.

First of all people turn in dogs all the time that dont belong to them, so it is not impossible that the dog belongs to someone else, they can turn them in with no questiopns asked. Shelters feel that taking in unwanted animals for free, will make people less likely to dump them off somewhere. I would question that someone turned in such a valuble animal, most shelters will adopt an owner relink right away. Also shelters now have Internet so that you can veiw the animals on your computer, if the dog has a chip there is no question who it belongs to, have the shelter scan the dog, explain to them why you are asking them to do this, actually you gave me the number I will call!

Hello all, I did give the Shelter a call it seems that all the lines are busy I left my name and number, and I am waiting for a call back, if they dont call I will try them again in a few minutes!

Gen do the local shelters have internet pictures, I know out here we take pictures of all our strays and put them on the internet. Also find out if they scan the dogs for chips. They should have a scanner, when I get the number I will ask that they scan any yorkie, stray, owner surrender, what ever it may be if they dont already do so! It is 3 hours difference here, and its Saturday most shelters are closed on Sundays, so the sooner I get any info would expedite anything I could do! So that you dont give up hope I once returned a dog that lived in the wild for 3 years after it was lost by someone watching the dog! It was a great reunion! The dog fit in like it was never gone....

Well the lady gave me his folder with all his shots info, wellness checkups
she did give me his microchip papers also.
I will take him to the Cats & Dogs shelter so they can scan him. I want to make sure this is the same lady who surrendered him. Imagine if this is a missing pet?? I mean it's clear that they spent quite a bit of money on him ..just to give him up? She told me it was her mom's who is 70 but he is too hyper for the mom and while she was walking him one day he tripped her and she broke her ankle so she gave it to the daughter. My dogs do that sometimes , they run around my ankles while on a leash. The daughter is about 40+ and has only had him for like 3 months. Beautiful expensive crate, with bedding and cover and bag of his toys and his papers.

He is soooooooo loving. He is very playful but as soon as you sit he makes this sound like hmmmmmmm hmmmm hmmm and he wants you to pay attention to him or sit with you. He sat on my lap for an hour or so while I typed here and he was just very quiet. Also when I left I put him in his crate and he was sooo quiet and just sat on his padding in there! My dogs would be flipping out lol My bed is about 34" high and he can jump and get on!
I havent seen him act the way she said " He is way too hyper" She should see our Morkie Lucky! geeze he flips over and over while you're trying to put the wee wee pad on him

He has such a little dog bark too. Cookie has an old man type of bark where he barks two or three times then he coughs once lol.

I'm glad I went to see my daughter in the parade today. I got some fresh air. Even though the whole time I was looking at everyone there who had a dog or holding something in their arms.
