I have him! The couple with the yorkie just dropped him off. He is very HYPER. He has not been neutered and has had no vaccinations in 4 years. How sad is that? I will work to rehabilitate him and take him to the vet asap! |
Congratulations and good luck with the little guy! How old is he and does he have a name yet? Would love to see pics of him. God bless you for taking him. :thumbup::thumbup: |
You probably know this already, I would keep him from Raley until he is checked by your vet and gets his vaccinations. You are a saint to give this little guy a home and by my guess to know what it is to be loved and truly cared for. Dyan |
That's so great! You are going to have to change your sig soon :) |
His name is Rocky. He is 4 years old. I will keep the name they gave him. I will take pictures when I get home. He is not very socialized from what I can tell. He is barking non-stop. He has fleas. They had him groomed recently, though. He is bigger than I expected. I am guessing he weighs about 11 pounds or so. I am in for alot of work....he is going to have to learn some obedience. He has never been kenneled. They had a collar on him with a leash attached. It is obvious that they didn't realize that yorkies are not just your "average" pet. I plan on keeping him away from Raley for a short time. I am scared to death now that rehabilitating him is going to be a little more difficult than I imagined. At least he has a chance to learn things now, though. Keep us in your prayers, please! |
I can imagine you are feeling a bit overwhelmed but try to take one thing at a time. I would guess you are either on your way to your vet for Rocky to be checked out or you will be going soon. Maybe your vet can help with the his fleas...with meds or he will need a flea bath. At least you will have his health checked out. Post whenever you want to let us know how you are doing and how he is doing. There is always someone around to lend an ear or try to help. Dyan |
Bless you for taking him in and giving him a shot at a better life. |
Right now I am at work. Alone. I just so happen to manage an upscale pet boutique where we also groom. I bathed him, dried him and put him in a crate for now. I just finished disinfecting the tub where we bathe dogs. I noticed in the bag that the owners brought with him that the toys are the kind a large dog would use. The man told me he liked to play tug of war. I am thinking he was rough-housed alot. That will not be the case as long as he is with me. |
Oh, that's good that you are at a pet boutique and was able to groom him right away...how was he when he was being bathed? How is he doing in the crate? Dyan |

Thats so sad... they obviously knew nothing about yorkies and never bothered to find out. He is so lucky to have you, atleast now he has someone who cares and who will take proper care of him :) good luck! |
Congrats on the new yorkie he sounds like a keeper |
Well, it's good he didn't seem to mind the bath. I think you are doing a great job with him. Getting used to a crate will be a new thing for Rocky. How is he with you? Has he calmed down a little when outside the crate? |

I just leashed him and took him outside. The first thing he did was mark! |
Meg, This is his first day with you and he must be confused as to what is happening to him. Being "OK" with you is fine....when he is at your home you can evaluate his personality as the days go by. I'm not an expert on any of this by any means but I think he is doing real well and you are too! Dyan |
Bless you for taking the time to rehabilitate this little one. May he be a wonderful addition to your family. Good luck! -pam |
Wonder if they had him outside a lot in a yard. Have to wonder how they never noticed the fleas and hope he doesn't have any worms with no vaccinations for 4 years. Good on ya for giving him a new and loving home, I'm sure he'll come around in no time. Keep us updated |
Just checking to see how you and Rocky are doing? Dyan |
He is pretty good on a leash but marks everything in his path. He barks NON-STOP. I am doing my best! |
I was wondering how Rocky is doing tonight? I hope he has settled in a little when you got him home. Keep us updated as you are able, ok? |
So here is the update. Rocky has a new home! I personally know the lady who has him. She came in the store today and we were casually talking. She found out about him and told me that she would be more than happy to give him a home. She is in her late twenties and single. She can also take him to work with her. I believe 100% that I made the right decision!! |
