| Found a yorkie today... help? Hi! I don't have a yorkie (I show and breed maltese) but I was hoping someone could help me. Today I found a yorkie when I went to pick up my kids from school. He was running around and kids were kicking at him and he also had no concept of street safety. My 11 yr old daughter picked him up and we brought him home. I've put up fliers, put ads in papers and craigslist (and fidofinder) took him to the vet to be scanned for a microchip (he had none) and he was not wearing a collar. He is a very sweet boy but is a matted mess. He is also NOT NEUTERED . Does anybody know of a yorkie rescue in california that I can call about him, if his owners do not contact me? I absolutely cannot keep this dog, unfortunately and I sure do not want to hand him over to the SPCA. Thanks for any help you can give me! |

| YorkieTalk Yorkshire Terrier Library - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ir-owners.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ie-poster.html I found this sticky note in the Library on the forum. It gives some good ideas on how to go about what to do if you find a Yorkie. Good luck. There is possibly someone out there that is frantically looking for this little one. No telling how far he has traveled. I hope the owners can be found.

| I am so glad your daughter picked him up and brought him home to you! I can't believe other kids were kicking at the poor dog. Hope you can find a rescue for him.

I had to tell my husband. It saddens me that kids would kick the poor little guy. I am glad your daughter played hero!

Yes, kids were kicking him, it was very hard to watch!! My daughter is 11 and shows heavily in junior showmanship (has qualified for Westminster and Eukanuba this year, and will be showing at both) so to say she is very into dogs is an understatement! When she brought him over to the car, I had to bring him home. I couldn't let her 'release' him, I'm sure he would not have fared well. Thank you all for your help here! | |

| Hello and Welcome to YorkieTalk. So glad you picked up the little Yorkie. Thank you. Sounds like you are getting good advice on rescues,etc. It also sounds like your daughter is an animal lover and has a good heart.

| Nobody has called to claim this guy. I am going to a show this weekend and not sure if the hubby will 'let' me keep this dog here while I am gone. Anybody in my area who can help me out? I contacted a few rescues but nobody has gotten back to me. will keep trying!! Although he is matted, his toe nails are short and his paw pads are trimmed, so somebody has taken care of him recently! |

Are you anywhere near Laguna Beach? He actually kind of looks like a dog, Benjamin, someone had stolen. I'll have to see if I can find that post.

| awwwww I wish I could take him! Thank you for picking him up though. It saddens me that there are kids out there that would physically hurt a small helpless animal. Especially if they ever knew how sweet and loving yorkies are and just want to be pet and wag their little stubs at everyone.

| I don't think it is, I just looked up Visalia on a map and it's not near Long Beach, which is were Benjamin was from, not Laguna Beach. It would be one of those miraculous stories, though. Here's the Benjamin stolen thread :http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...kidnapped.html

| If I lived near you I would take him in a heartbeat. I have 4 dogs but there's always room for one more. |
