| I have to stay off petfinder I really need to stop looking on pet finder. Today I found four Yorkies. full blooded. sitting in shelters. Thank God I do not have a car here or there would be 4 more fur babies in my house and a divorce in my future. These babies are beautiful and I just feel so bad for them sitting in a cold shelter. Yep I got to stay off of pet finder

| That is too funny! I have said the same thing myself. You know they're out there but when you see the little faces it is so hard to resist. |

| I can't look on petfinder anymore because it breaks my heart. My house is full, too (3 dogs and 5 cats + fiance has 2 dogs in FL) . I wouldn't be able to provide for anymore animals so it wouldn't be fair to bring another into our home. I have a big family (5 children ages 7 to 20) so there is plenty of love to go around, but vet care and food aren't free. I do know that when the time is right to add another that it won't be hard to find one who needs a home!

| No it will not be hard at all and it just makes me wonder why so many people would go to BYB's when there are all these beautiful pure bred Yorkies just sitting in cages in a shelter : (

| We all need to join Petfinder Anonymous because we are powerless over wanting to bring home more furbutts. It hard not to want to give them all loving homes.

I'm glad I am not the only one who does that. I do make myself stay off of it after a while, but then I always return in a few weeks. If I found 4-yorkies on there in my area I am not sure what I would do. Last edited by Gatord; 09-27-2011 at 11:09 AM. Reason: (sp) | |

| People go to BYB's because they want a PUPPY, for some reason the puppies catch the unsuspecting customer more so than the older dogs, although they are ALL cute. I almost did it! I was gonna buy a yorkie off a lady who did not have any typer of registration, bloodline/pedigree, and probably had two litters of yorkies and 3 litters of mixes. THEN I stopped myself, remembered what I read her, and chose a rehoming situation instead for Maci who's 2.5yrs and registered and healthy! [not that all byb's will be bad dogs, or that they will be sick, buuuut i've been through my own experiences with that!] |

| My 17 year old son is doing volunteer work with a local small dog rescue. I make the mistake of going to visit him and the dogs on the weekends. So far he wanted to bring home a poodle, but fortunately Benjamin got a wonderful home, then it was a Yorkie mix named Jazz, he found a home also, now he is telling me that next weekend they will have Shih Tzu puppies, and he wants one. I already have 4 Yorkies and 3 cats so he will just have to love these dogs on the weekends.

| Petfinder kills me!!! I would look all the time before I got Mikki. I even emailed about three different ones trying to get them. For different reasons they never worked out. Now that I have Mikki I don't get on there. Because I know that two is my limit. Or my DH really will kill me! I would sit and read the stories with tears pouring down my face. I would take them all if I could. Such sad situations. It is all I can do to not send Ladyjane a message to tell her I want Summer!!! Everytime I look at that face.....well, if I could afford another I would take her in a heart beat!

| Ditto! I try to stay off Petfinder because there really is no room here. 4 cats and 2 dogs are a lot of work and vet bills... Plus Maci isn't even reliably house broken yet... but it's sooo hard to resist those sweet faces!

| You know what gets me? I have two very very spoiled girls. And then I think, I could really spoil that poor baby. He/she has not had a good life and I could so pamper them! My sister tells everyone one day they will see me at the Humane Society with a line of dogs and cats following me home! And she is right. I would take everyone of them if I could! The faces are so hard to resist!
