Introducing.....Forrest....yes, as in Gump :)

[sarahheartmaddy]

Jen, you are breaking my heart. He looks so sad... I feel so terrible for him. He really deserves to be spoiled. Those owners make me sick to my stomach. The poor angel.

Would it be okay with you if I sent you a black cuddlenest for him? They are super soft and would be super comfy for him since he can't move around a whole lot. And it would be soft on his skin and little ears too.

Jen, Forrest is so lucky to have you in his life right now. He needs a lot of TLC and medical attention and I'm sure you'll make sure he gets both! Bless you for taking him in. Poor little guy!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see his improvements.

Oh this makes me heartsick, I'm so glad that megansmama knows something about the ears, the picture look so similar, and maybe this little guy has a fighting chance. Bless you all for what you are doing for these poor little things, I so wish we could tell the breeder about this little guy, and see what she has to say.

OMG, Thank you for saving this poor baby. I just want to cry for this baby and the human one that people who could do this would have. I just can't believe how anyone can do this. I don't get it. Again THANK GOD for people like you.

oh my god those ears just broke my heart....how sad is that.....i feel so bad for him...and Jen bless you for taking him in...and giving him a 2nd chance....sending lots of good vibes his way!

People like that make me sick! How can you hurt a dog like that? I mean really! They should be viewed as family not as throw away entertainment!

[TaylorWoods]

Dogs are far cheaper than babies, so if they can afford a baby then this is just sad and shocking The poor little guy If you make a committment to own a pet then you should be able to look after it no matter what.

Shame and they can't talk and tell you how they are feeling so it's wonderful that he has someone like you to love him and look after him and get him the tests and medical help he needs - I wish you all the best and keep us posted about his recovery. They all deserve a second chance

His were not actually cracking off but they were black and hairless much like Forest.

This is just sooooooo SAD!

Adoptable Pups

Oh my goodness I live in South Africa and I have never seen this site before. I have not found any Yorkie adoption centers here so this saddens me Shame, and so many of them have medical issues my respect just went from 100% to 200%...

This is so heartbreaking. I've never seen ears so bad...that poor baby. I've read of leather ear and I wonder if a dog got that and wasn't treated for it, if it would turn out like that. I feel so bad for Forrest...there is no excuse for anyone neglecting a helpless little dog! Gosh...I feel just sick, but so thankful that he is now in your arms and things can only get better for him. Hugs to you for being his angel!

[Tiggerwit]

I'm bawling my head off. OMG!!!

Just say the word and I'll fire up the truck and go pay those SOBs a visit!!

[llcornell]

He is adorable...I hope he starts feeling better really soon.
Seriously you should turn the people in...what were they doing this whole time? This little guy has been suffering for a while

[xxmxaxrxyxx]

Ok reading that this may have been a result of leather ears really scares me because Mei Ling and I have been battling this for some time...and reading that it not treated it could cause the ears to crust up and fall off like Forrest scares me....and i don't want people to think i am abusing Mei Ling although her hair is growing back some on there after cleaning it for months with rubbing alcohol and apply 1% lotrimin cream...but it still isn't 100% and probably may never be 100%.

Can someone confirm that this is a result of leather ears? Thanks

I imagine his original owner didn't have the funds for further testing and treatment so Forrest has lived the past 3-1/2 years almost paralyzed. They gave him up because they are "having a baby".....what did they think Forrest is

Jen, when we talked yesterday I must've been so focused on this baby being virtually paralyzed for 3 1/2 YEARS that I didn't realize how bad his ears really are. I've never seen anything like that, and pieces are actually breaking off from the edges? This poor little man. I can't tell you how happy I am that he's with you now, filling his little tummy and gaining strength. I kept thinking about him last night, praying for him and hoping for good news from the vet. Please give him lots of extra hugs and kisses from me.

I hope you do report his previous owners. What they've done to this boy is beyond cruel.

Aww Sarah, that is so sweet and generous of you to offer him a cuddlenest!
Now Jen could have two of them laying around..
