Poor little guy! Glad he found an Angel to care for him until his forever home is found.

He is a little doll! Thank you for being a foster mom :) Stinky will go away after a FEW baths :rolleyes: If you do need to shave him try to head as much hair on his head as possible. I'm sure he will make someone a wonderful new furever pup. :)

3 baths later for poor Rocco....

Two shampoos last night and one this morning AFTER a major haircut, great smelling creme rinse and he (Rocco) smells acceptable:D I also got away with a short haircut (not a buzz or shave) on the lower half of his body, underbelly and mats on legs. I know how to cut human hair and I did I great makeover (if I do say so myself) without resorting to buzzing him. Considering the hot mess he was late last night he looks and smells great:rolleyes: New pictures to follow.:D

It is hard to get rid of that smell once it is in their hair. When I first brougth home Truman he has a bath a day and still smelled like YUCK after a week :( The haircut should help a lot to get rid of the smell. I would love to see his new pictures he sure is adorable:p

Bizzymammabee 02-24-2010 05:40 PM
Can't wait to see the cutie under that hair. I would assume that the smell is really in his hair. So the more hair that comes off the better.

Ladymom 02-24-2010 06:04 PM
Wow! He is going to be one handsome boy when he's cleaned up! Can't wait to see the "after" pictures!

Britster 02-24-2010 06:07 PM
Poor thing! Thanks for taking him in. If I weren't on the other side of the country.... can't wait to see "after" pics!

This little guy has stayed on my mind, he truly lookes just like my Joey...Can you adopt out to another state? We are in southwest VA. I know VA will not adopt out of state. It would be a very very long drive but I am thinking it might be worth it...but would it even be possible. Joey is the one in my advitar...Sharon

My friend and I were laughing because we had to keep the windows rolled down because he smelled so bad. :(All I know is he is a stray that was found running in a field. Poor little guy. The min. I got him home he got a bath and a blow dry immediatly. He might need to be shaved because of the mats I just don't know yet.
I can tell you that he bathed well and is very sweet. Even washing his face and ears.
I am posting the before shelter picture and will be posting some of the after pictures so you can see his adorable face! He will be put up for adoption through ytnr on their website soon and to be adopted in the Northern California Bay Area in Silicon Valley. He has to be neutured and have some vetting done he is approx 3.5 yrs old and 8.5 lbs. So if you know of anyone looking for a sweet male in this area send them my info.

Hey I live in San Jose, CA! We live close by. Do you go to any nearby dog parks? Sorry, this is so off topic, but I am just so excited to see someone on YT that lives near me and have a yorkie! :D

Rizzo's mom 02-25-2010 06:47 PM
Doggie parks in San Jose
 
I have taken my dogs to the dog park in Campbell. Right now honestly I have 4 dogs here and a HUGE fenced yard so I have my OWN doggie park.;)
Let me know if you would like to make a play date for the kids here or at a dog park.

Rest in peace my sweet Rizzo:rbyorkie:

mypreciouspups 02-25-2010 06:59 PM
Oh I bet he is a doll under that messy hair.. will watch for his updated picture after you have him looking just perfect the way he should be..:D

pancakepat 02-25-2010 08:15 PM
Sure wish you would check local papers, vets offices, etc for a lost yorkie. I can't believe its a stray. If I were a betting person, I'd say this little guy got out & can't find his way home. Please try.

Rizzo's mom 02-25-2010 08:21 PM
We tried to find his home...
 
We did try to find his owner and the microchip he has was never registered after he was adopted from the breeder. So one issue is a responsible pet owner should have all the ID and info up to date in case of an emergency or otherwise.

By the matted looks ( and SMELL) of him he had been out on the road for awhile.
