| A yorkie landed on me today.... my brothre cals me and tells me he has a surprise. I have no clue as to what he is talking about. three monutes later my brother makes me close my eyes. I was laying on the couch, and at first did not see her. Both my other two were already checking her out. I could not beleive he found a yorkie pup runnin in the street. She was a little damp from the fog. But not too wet. I don't think she has been out too long. SHe has a puppy coat with a little silver on her head. I tried to give her food, but she did not want it yet. She has smelled the food but not touched it . She is a little doll baby, Wants to be with my son and i. She is not thin and it does look like someone was taking care of her. I live in a tiny town, and I ought to place posters up of found puppy. She is very mellow right now. Probably cause she is overwhemled. I know i need to take her to the vet asap. I can on the third , that is the closest appointment i can do and afford financially. She has all her teeth, and I have no idea how old she is. AND I am eorried if she is sick or anything my other girls could get it too. All she wants is love right now. Keeps wanting to be on my son's lap, and has come up to me for attention.

| I am glad your son found her. I would contact the local vets and shelter's to find the original owner's. You could just take her in and have her scanned to see if she has a microchip with the original owner's info on it. They are surely frantic looking for her. You may not need to take her to the vet on the 3rd if you have found the owners. Please put up posters. Just think how upset you would be if one of your sweet yorkie's were missing. Thanks for looking out for her and you will be a hero if you find the original owner! |

| I gave her water, and she was so very thirsty.. I also found out some heavily matted areas in her hair. If her owners are looking for her , they were not taking all that good care of her. SHe is dirty, matted , and who knows how long this baby has been out by herself. I know i still have to place posters of found dog, but i am not going to give details . If she is lost and someone is looking for her I want the rightful owner to get her back.

| Matting happens quickly. Please put those posters up ASAP. A vet will scan for a chip for FREE

| I am 50% thinking the poor "mommy" (owner) must be out of her head with worry.... and then 50% why they are not posting posters and looking their selves!!

| Don't wait til February third. Take her to the Vet ASAP. They can quickly scan her to see if there is a microchip. I would be so upset if my puppy went missing and the person that had her kept her for almost a month before taking her to get scanned. Would you want that to happen too you? Also, matting happens quickly...almost overnight especially when wet or damp. Please don't wait to decide if you think the owners are taking proper care of the pup.... they are probably worried sick.

My very dear friend, has a tiny Maltese that was lost in Michigan-we feel certain someone has picked her up. She has flyer's up everywhere, notified all of the Vets, Shelters, Rescues, Animal Control, has an amber alert out on her, and no one has come forward, and she is in agony, wanting to die, because her baby is missing. There are several threads about "Rikki" in YT. She was spotted 3 times the day after she went missing; two Pastors of two different church's saw her and did nothing to help her. We have a candle site, and we light candles and pray that she is returned. Someone's heart is breaking right now. Sheila | |

| She was running in the street , that is how she was found. yes, I will do everything possible to find the owners of this baby. All I know s that she is in need of great care. The matting is thick , so thick that it is hard to even distingush her tail. it is hard to understand how a puppy got away from it's family , but it happens. She nearky got hit by a car . But, I do agree with the majority of posters. Dhe is safe, and warm in a quiet doggie bed. LIke I said before I will do my best to find her owners. I will go door to door to find her owners on thr street where she eas found. It is such a small town that you can walk a mile and be on the otherside of the city.

| You can take her down to the animal shelter and have her scanned for free, and while there, find out if anyone called about her. I'm sure that would be the first place an owner would call.

| A vet will scan her for free now, no need to wait until next month. In a small town, with a little bit of effort it won't be that difficult to find the owner. Kudos to you for seeing to her welfare while you try to reunite her with her family.

| As careful as we are with our babies and we never leave them alone even in our fenced in yard, our Brooklyn did get out. She found a tiny opening in our cyclone fence. A normal opening, but she is small and she got out. I was frantic crying hysterically. Thank God she did not leave the front yard, but had it been my Bella she would have been gone. Just because she was roaming the streets, does not mean she is being neglected. They could be looking for her, but since you have her and have not posted a sign, called the police or shelter/s they have no way of knowning where she is. The matting, does happen quick, even thick matting especially if it is a cottony coat. Tia is brushed daily, yet the next day she has matts again. I'm not saying you are wrong and she is not being neglected, I'm saying that you shouldn't make assumptions based on what you said. Please, try to find her family and then if she is being neglected take action. Elaine |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am glad she is safe with you for now. You can take her to Banfield vets at Petsmart and they can also scan. We did that with a cat we found and found the owner. You never know how long she has been missing or how far she has traveled. I would but an add on Craigslist and local papers as well. Since you mention it would be financially hard for you to take her to the vet before the 3rd maybe you can find one that will check her out for free and scan her since she is a stray at this time. I know I would be so grateful someone took my baby in but would want her home as soon as possible.

| The puppy is probably so happy she has your safe happy home until she can be with her family. Since you said it's such a small town word of mouth would help too, especially if you went to peoples doors. Good luck |
