This makes me SO mad!

[Lucyana1129]

I need to vent to people that will understand this. For some reason no one I know sees it as a big deal. I have a friend that picked up a yorkie on a very busy street. That part I fully understand and would have done the same. He's where I get annoyed. I asked her what she planned to do and she had no response. So I told her to post on Craigslist about a lost yorkie and put flyers up in the area. It is a busy area and close to a lot of big hotels. She said she planned to. This was almost a month ago now and since then she has taken this little female yorkie and had her shaved and to the vet. She has a male yorkie and this is a female. They just bred their lab to a female lab that was given to them. I asked if she was spayed. Nope. I kno they will end up breeding her (to have a baby from their male). It infuriates me and part of me wants to post it on Craigslist myself. If someone found Bentley and decided they were going to keep him instead of trying to find..... And although this little girl was dirty and her hair was matted it looked to me like someone had been working to grow her out. And I'm sorry but she should not be bred and neither should her male. Not only bc she has no idea what she is doing but bc they are both about 10 lbs, very long, and floppy eared. I just do not understand why she would basically steal this dog. And I don't know how to kindly tell her that it's ridiculous that she hasn't tried to find her owner yet and is letting her male play and be around her unspayed. They kept saying how I shouldn't have neutered Bentley bc he would have pretty puppies. I'm not a breeder and am in no way skilled enough to do that. Why is it so hard for them to see that neither are they? They are living things. They had trouble when the female lab was in labor. And they think they are qualified to handle a yorkie in labor!?! They wanted to give the lab a bath during labor to calm her! Uggghhhh....! I'm sorry I'm rambling but I keep hoping she will try to find her owner and she just isn't. It's beyond crazy to think that that could happen to someone. That Bentley could get out and someone would just consider him "finders keepers". Am I being over dramatic here? They debated on "saving" this little lab puppy once bc he was outside (at a campground) all day. They said his owners didn't deserve a dog. Who are they to decide this? He had water and food and was in the shade. While you're feeding your dogs kibbles and bits every day and breeding your males to random females. Alright, I'll stop bc I could go on and on. I already have. Haha! I'm just so mad and I figured if anyone would agree with me on this it would be you guys.

I personally would look myself and see if anyone is looking for her. I would also contact the shelters and police in that area and see if anyone reported a female Yorkie missing and yes even post myself on Craig's list without giving any identifying info. other then where the Yorkie was found. IF somoene steps forward that you are sure is the rightful owner and a caring owner then I would give them your friend's info. You may lose a friend, but think how you'd feel if your Yorkie accidently got out and you were looking and looking and someone had her, keeping her.

I know we rescued a little girl that we've now had eight weeks. Even though, she was in poor shape care wise I still looked to make sure she was not someone's lost dog. In my mind I felt that there could be if even slight a possibility that our girl was stolen or on her own awhile, hence her condition. No one came forward looking and through my search I could not locate an owner so she is staying with us. She was fixed and had a dental done, Tuesday. I hope that YOU will do the right thing even if your friend doesn't. By the way, our little girl wasn't as lucky. She was actually hit by a car and not expected to live. The person that hit her left her there to die and some wonderful young girl picked her up and also posted her on Craig's List looking for the owner. Elaine

This is disturbing to me on so many levels that I couldn't finish reading it. Please check your local CL listings, flyers, etc., and see if you come across any lost Yorkies, it seems to me that you would be able to identify this Yorkie correct? If you are able to find the owner, lead them to their baby. I am not judging you; infact, I completely validate your frustrations and agree with you...but hon 2 wrongs don't make a right...you can still do the right thing...

You may lose a friend but doesn't sound like they are the best people anyway, so not a big loss. I say look for the owners too. You could save the doggy a lot of grief.

I am just going to address the Yorkie in this post. First I think that you should post this found Yorkie, with all the details you have available to you. Hold something back, so if and when you get calls, that can help you ID the rightfull owner. I also would strongly say to your friend, what you are doing is Wrong. This dog maybe someone's lost beloved pet, and you owe this person every effort to find the owner. If you don't I will.

Send flyers out to all nearby vets. Maybe you will shake up your friend to do the right thing by this found female.

This upsets me on so many levels, I can't even begin to get my fingers around my thoughts to type it out.

[lynzy420]

Last time I checked, stealing was a crime....please try to help this puppy. Also, honey you don't need these kinds of friends.

[Lucyana1129]

Well, I have been checking craigslist every day. There's not a whole lot I can do as this friend lives in another state. In fact, they live in a state that I believe this is a normal occurrence. We are so normal friendly he in Cali and although I'm sure it happens here I believe that more often than not ppl do the right thing. I've seen pics of this little girl and could probably identify her in a posting on CL or if I had any doubts call and ask questions. These ppl are friends of the family. Much older than me. They are my friends bc they are my moms friends. Believe me, since I have seen how they are with animals I have talked to them much much less and mostly try to lead them in the right direction as best I can. I plan to ask another friend that lives there to put flyers up and although she says she called arid to shelters, I will call the, too just to make sure. And the one vet I know of in that area. Thanks for the advice and for validating my frustration. I completley forgot about calling vets in the area so that was very helpful info. I was just thinking flyers flyers flyers for some reason and CL. Its been so long though and I'm worried that maybe she belonged to someone passing through as that area is a very touristy area. If I don't find the owner I will definitely try to educate her as best as I know how to spay her. Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted.

[Lucyana1129]

Sorry for all the typos. Not really used to this touch screen typing yet.

Wondering if the baby was microchipped......you have to get the vet to check for a microchip, with or without your friends knowledge. You can even call the vet, explane what has happened, and ask the vet to scan the dog for a microchip.....the vet will keep your involvement quiet....I also agree with the other posters who encourage YOU to advertise for this "found" baby.....I just pray she has a microchip....the vet wont automatically scan the dog, unless there is some reason they think the dog is one that has been reported as missing.

May I reiterate? As a Yorkie owner yourself, as the caring human being I know you are...Do everything in your power to do the right thing for this dog, be proactive etc., even if you don't succeed in finding the rightful owner, you will have done the right thing...this poor baby..

[Lucyana1129]

I hate confrontation but I think I will have to bring this up to her and tell her that if she doesnt do something then I will have to. Hopefully I can make her see that it's wrong. Maybe she doesn't realize what she's doing and that she could b taking this baby from a very loving home. Ugh huh...! I hate confrontation. I'll let you kno how the conversation goes later today. It's been about 2 weeks since we have talked so maybe she has done something. I want to give her the opportunity to step up and do the right thing before I step in. Maybe I'll b surprised.

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Oh my. Your friend is terribly in the wrong here. I can't even imagine if it was my pup that was lost and no one tried to post she was found. It really makes me sick to my stomach. But then to breed her on top of all this.
That poor little baby. And just think about how the owners feel if this pup is lost. After a month she obviously isn't going to try to find the owners. Please at least call that states Human Society, vets, groomers, etc to see if they know if anyone is missing a pup from that area. Our dogs got out of the yard one day and I started making phone calls. Luckly, they were found and brought to the Humane Society. They knew I was looking and contacted me to pick them up. A few phone calls wouldn't hurt.

Confrontation not needed, call explain to her how much this has been bothering you, cry, plead, beg, offer to help her...even long distance...tell her how you feel!

I hope this works out, I won't comment anymore, I promise! Good Luck

Maybe being nice is going to be the better way to handle this. Try explaining how you would feel if your baby was missing. Maybe that will make her be more understanding.

We comment on things like this because it is our passion. I think your comments are just being concerned for this pup.
