Would you pay for him? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I would pay $300 in a heart beat. The baby needs a home. I'm weak too. I just went over to sofa and gave our pup a big hug.

I hope she's not holding out for more money because she wants to make a buck. If she's serious about rehoming the puppy you think she would have jumped at the opportunity.

If you do get him, I would ask her to take him to the vets (you can meet her there) and get him flea dipped and checked right away (with you paying, of course). No sense you bringing a dog with fleas in to your car, clothes and home.

I would ask her if she would take $200. If she said let me think about it, I'd offer $250. Just start a bidding war. Get that puppy out of there.

Oh, that sucks! I hope everything turns out for the best.

Hopefully she will call you back and you can up your price if you are comfortable doing so.

If it were me , I would rescue this poor little yorkie , I'd look at it that way. AND offer her $250, max , since he just got fixed I'd pay for that and the rest of it as a small rehoming fee .
Everybody knows that yorkies are expensive , no matter what . SO the woman probably is thinking she can make a profit just because he is a yorkie . Even though he is not up to standard , yorkie;s are the most popular breed in the U.S
The problems he has can be dealt with , as long as he is medically healthy , then he ought to turn out to be a wonderful dog. Fleas are the number one big issue here , because they can cause a whole host of issues .
I hope he can find a wonderful , loving home soon . He really deserves a nice home and to be loved .

tjdmom · 05-23-2010, 02:51 PM

I'd offer more too. I'm thinking maybe $250. I mean she probably just paid more than $100 to have him neutered so maybe she's trying to recoup some of that. And I have seen alot of rescue's being sold for way more than $100. And I know the fleas are an issue but maybe you could buy frontline and apply it before he even comes home? I adopted a kitten once with infested with fleas but I was able to get them all cleared up with in a day or two and didn't get an infestation in my house so I think it can be done. And I would think most rescue require a bit of training. I read somewhere that the #1 reason dogs are rehomed is housebreaking issues so you might have that problem with most rescue dogs.... Good luck! I'm hoping you are able to get him!

Awww, That is so sad, I can't imagine leaving my little guy alone for an entire weekend, he goes with me everywhere. I feel so bad for this little yorkie

I hope you get him.

shannonroselive · 05-23-2010, 04:11 PM

LOL, Tammy, that's actually crossed my mind! hahaha.

I'm still hoping that we can work something out when she comes back in town. I hope she REALLY does want a good home for him and is willing to sell him to us for a fair price. We'll see.

TwoforFun · 05-23-2010, 04:20 PM

I was hoping to hear good news. Keeping my fingers cross

Jellybears · 05-23-2010, 04:21 PM

Fleas - bathe him before he enters your home. $ - offer her what you think fair, and tell her if she can't find a home then to give you a call....that's what I would do - when I look into Mr. Darcy's or Lizzie's eyes - I couldn't imagine someone looking into the eyes of a dog they have and not want to do the best they can for it - so it is happy and not unhealthy....

tammy8833 · 05-23-2010, 04:38 PM

i hope it works out..i would take him straight to the groomers if he is a current rabies that way no fleas enter the home..and change clothes in the back yard maybe..hee hee..and use a travel crate to keep any fleas confined at least some

xoxJuliexox · 05-25-2010, 04:50 PM

I'm so anxious to know what happens! I would take him in also, im a sucker for animals!
