Might be Adopting From Our Local Shelter!
 

OMG you guys I'm sooooo excited! I think I finally found my husband's soft side . . .I'm like in shock . . .:p There is an 8 year old neutered male yorkie in my town's shelter who was dropped off after the owner said they could no longer care for him . . .:( Poor little guy! 8 years old! He's been there all week long and each day I'd tell my husband, "Spencer" (his current name) is still there and nobody is going to adopt an 8 year old dog . . .then I went into the spiel wouldn't it be nice to give this older guy a life he deserves? Wouldn't it just warm your heart to give him a home that is warm and loving?

So today, he finally agreed (even went on and looked at his pic) that I could find out more about him. So, of course, the shelter was already closed, so I emailed them (it's one of their personal home emails) and I'm waiting to hear back.

Of course, first I'd have to meet Spencer to see if he is friendly and not aggressive in anyway and that he likes men and women . . .and if all that went well, I'd then bring my babies to meet him . . .I know Brody won't have any issues because he LOVES all dogs, it's Rhianna who is my little alpha princess . . .

Soooo, I've never done this before and would appreciate any and all advice.

I haven't gotten my hopes too high yet, because if I'm too late in emailing them and someone else is able to provide for him, at least I know he'll have a warm bed at night and a person to kiss, hug and love him . . .:thumbup:

No advice....
 

But just so happy to hear that you've convinced your hubby to consider him! I hate to hear about our babies stuck in a shelter! GOOd-Luck!!! Keep us informed how it went!;)

I have my fingers crossed for you. :)

Keeping my fingers, toes and paws crossed! Can't wait to hear!

Thanks all! Still keep those fingers crossed for me! I received an email back from the shelter and Spencer has a lot of interest, but they are still looking for the right home for him . . .So as we speak, I'm filling out the application and emailing it directly to the woman at her home email . . .hopefully I'll hear from her tomorrow!

YAY! My guess someone won't get much sleep tonight?...

Hi, I wish you luck. beege:thumbup:

Oh wow...I hope you get picked. Best of wishes and please let us know how it goes.

Probably not . . .lol But I will try like heck! :p

Awweee. That is so sweet. Hope you get him. :)

Good luck! Let us know as soon as you hear. I think it is great you and your hubby are considering helping this baby out.

Just count yorkies.. instead of sheep. That might help? :)

That is WONDERFUL that you are adopting a rescue - and a senior as well.
Kudos to you. Please let us know if you get Spencer and remember we will want to see pics:D

I hope it works out. Keeping fingers crossed.

I think that might make her more excited instead of wanting to sleep. I know I would be excited!

Crossing fingers for you...Good Luck!

Sad and Happy at the same time . . .
 

Got an email this morning that they had approved another home for Spencer with an older couple who have an older yorkie like Spencer. They said he was going for a trial run to see how their other yorkie adapted to him and that if things didn't work out, they'd be back in touch with me.

I'm sad that I never got to meet him, but happy that he is going home. :thumbup:

Glad he was adopted! :)

I'm sorry, but glad at the same time. I bet your DH will be easy to convince the next time you find a shelter yorkie. :)

Yup!! :D The trick is to get him at the right time apparently . . .:p He wouldn't ever let me get a puppy, but I think he might have a thing for older shelter dogs . . .besides this one was located right in our town which NEVER has small dogs . . .I'm always going to keep my eye out now, since it's been past practice that he agreed to Spencer . . .;)
