I just wanted to mention that this poor little pup may have not been lost from her family but stolen. Sometimes people think that Yorkie puppies are very expensive and I've heard of people picking one up and taking it out of people's yards (even from behind locked gates). She may have been dumped in your town when they got scared of being caught with a stolen puppy or whoever they took her for told them they didn't want the puppy. She may even have been taken from several towns away and that's why you didn't see any missing signs.
Bless you and your brother for looking out for this little girl. I'm sure you have made her feel safe and secure. Hopefully you can get her back with her owners, I'm sure they will be thrilled. Good luck and please keep us updated.

You sound like a very kind, caring, loving person that has made one puppy very lucky that she found her way to you...I think your son is very lucky also to have you for his mom. Our children learn from us and our actions and I am sure he will grow up to be a very good young man without the issues alot of our young children have today...not knowing right from wrong...we knew an 8 yr old that found a Golden Retriever and he had been praying to God for a dog, got off the bus and there he was...looking bad they took him to the vet and not knowing his history, got his shots groomed him etc. His mom and dad made him post sign put ads in the local papers, radio etc..After 4mths. they got a call from the dogs owners...they were 50 miles from them. When they went to get the dog, the little boy came out with his piggy bank and wanted to buy the dog..The people left with the piggy bank, but passed Dad a $100 bill to help with the cost of caring for the dog for the 4mths...I know this is a true story because they phoned us to see if there was a chance we would be breeding the pups mom and Dad again so they could get them another puppy from us....They paid $600 for the puppy when they got him but said the little boy just loved him so much, and it had been 4mths of them being together, they did not have the heart to seperate them...I hope your story turns out to be something your family will remember. Keep us posted on her and how she is doing.....and you and your son...I love these threads... shows there are some really awesome people in the world today...

Thank you for doing the right thing and taking care of this baby! As suggested, check out your local animal shelter or vet's office to see if they have a scanner. She may have a microchip with info that will lead you to the owner.

That took a couple hours just for that. She has a docked tail.... Discovering this really made my mind up. Someone did lose her accidently , and if that was me I would be devastated.
Just because she was filthy and matted perhaps just means she may have crawled out under a fence or something.
I know in my heart I cannot just keep her. I hope I can bring her home to her "real' family and they make sure it does not happen again.
I did go all around the neighborhood and saw nothing posted yet. but people could of been working, and not even know she is missing.
After cleaning her up and obviously well fed puppy makes me know that your all right in telling me to seek out the owner asap.
The vet is closed today for the holiday, but their is a dog pound that might be able to scan her, or know of the family looking for her.
I am not allowed to have anther dog where I live... the 2 I have are service dogs.
my niece just lost her pup recently to a illness . I cried so many tears over her death.
Her family is most defintely heartbroken.

God Bless you for doing so much to help this little puppy.

I so wish, someone as kind as you, has found my friend, Sandra's little Maltese, Rikki, and that she will be returned.

I am so very sorry that your niece lost her pup recently. I understand that pain. My darling Sydney, who will be 15 in April, is in chronic renal failure. It is killing my DH & I, day-by-day, knowing that we are going to lose her.

Hugs,
Sheila

Good Luck in finding it's owner, Do the best u can. I'm sure someone. somewhere is crying for their furbaby.
Thanks u for taking care of her. In a small town like someone here said word of mouth will work. She might not have a micochip, something people wait until the puppy is older.
God Bless and praying you find the owner soon. Do u have a rest stop near u, like when people travel thur a town and stop to rest ? Maybe u sure see and post something there. I know when I travel back to IL , I stop every few hours , and walk my furbabies and it's easy for one to jump out of the car and just ran .

[margaritaville]

awwww. She only a baby. I hope you find her owners soon.

[Lil Sis]

any luck finding the owners???? How is the baby??? How are you?

[mscat]

It has been a few days without an update. There is no word on the owners, ads were placed , and notices were made , placed around our tiny town. Still nothing.
I have her, and she is doing better each and every day. This little one has a stalky build, tail docked . SHe started to get a little dominate towards Suzi and Miely. When the other two came up for attention . I never seen such a young pup growl and snap at adult dogs . Suzi would run away , and so did Miely. I noticed that the puppy only acts this way if I am holding her or on the couch with her.
She is eating so much better too. Her favorite is anything with chicken. I don't have to hand feed her anymore. I am taking the food changes slowly.
Last night I had a scare though. The puppy started to pant , No idea as to why... i put her down off the couch and she peed twice, then jumped back up on the couch, still acting uncomfortable . I believe she had a stomach ache or something.... Sure enough I found poop right next to a puppy pad.
She may have ate too much too close to bedtime. She has not behaved like that since.
My other 2 dogs really do not know what to make of her . She is so young and growls whenever they come close to me. We call her Emma, or Emmie. Other then that she is a mellow little pup. Suzi my other yorkie is hyperactive, and Miely the Shih tzu is mellow.
I do not know her age , but guessing she is around 5 months. If my son and I leave, and come back Emmie is very happy and excited just like the others.
Some of you may wonder what I am going to do. In case I do end up keeping her, I have already had a DR> write a prescription on keeping her as a service dog.
I typically stay home all the time . My brother has told me that he has seen many Yorkie's around our town. He gets out more. I am inclined to believe that someone might be breeding yorkie's somewhere in our Rual town. If that were the case , then I do not know why or how she got out. Or she was left to her own accord. She certainly would not have lasted outside in the cold, foggy days.

Heaven forbid, but if my Dinky ever gets lost, I hope someone like you finds him. You are being so kind to that little girl and so resonsible trying to find her family.

That very moment was a good time to find the owners. They were the ones running up and down the streets going nutz.

[jencar98]

Did you have this puppy checked for a microchip? I saw that it was suggested but didn't see where you posted you had her scanned.

If this girl has not been through service dog certification how did you get a doctor to get you a prescription for her

You might want to try Facebook...I know of dogs that have been reunited with their owners from posting on a lost/found dog page there.

Good luck in finding her owners. If they are like any of us, I'm sure they are devastated.

He didn't get far i caught him out of the corner of my eye! So don't say never. And when i read your post it was my feeling that you didn't not have any intentions of finding these owners and i sure hope i'm wrong. I did loose a dog once and put up signs and the wife of the guys wanted to keep my boston terrior and he did the right thing...i sure hope you did the right thing.
