| Many times your local newspaper will offer free lost and found ads also the local radio stations offer this free service as well. The owner may not frequent the places where you have your signs. I would also contact the local police and animals shelters. Those are places that most people who have lost a pet will contact. I was once behind a car when a little Pom came rolling out of their window. I was able to stop and pick up the dog. It took a while for the car to stop and turn around. If I had not been there the dog would have run off and not been found by the owner right away. It sounds like this dog belongs to someone who has invested in it's care. I'm sure they could have found a good home for it had they wanted to. I hope you will continue to look for it's owner. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | By the way, I don't know what others think, but I think I would try very hard to find the original owner for 3 months. After that, I would probably consider her mine. Eveybody probably has a different time line, but I think at some point it's okay to think of her as yours. Otherwise, it will be so hard on you.

| Just an update: I have tried all the suggestions listed to find her owner. I also called the neighboring counties' police departments and animal shelters. I also called the local animal hospitals. I haven't had any luck yet but I haven't given up. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's very thoughtful of you, how is she adjusting? By the way, have you taken her on a walk and let her lead the way?

| She seems to be adjusting well. She is curled up in my lap now. I tried the leash thing but she just peed and walked back to my car. I walked with her a little and all she did was sniff around but there wasn't any direction to it. |

| The one horrible time my (now passed on) Jazzy escaped through a board in our fence that was loose. I had just given her a bath and had not put her tag back on. We were all laying out by the pool and looked around and she was just gone. I was in such a panic, I can not even tell you! I called the police and they said yes someone called to say they have a little stray dog with no tag. She was not very far from where we live...it was the next neighborhood over. I cried so hard when they handed her back to me...the poor woman looked startled. LOL Lesson: Call several neighboring POlice Stations and see if anyone reported a dog missing. |

| Another update: I took her to the vet again today. She has put on .7 pounds and we have successfully gotten rid of her fleas. The vet thinks she is between 5 and 6 years old. I have put up new signs and have re-called the police stations and shelters just incase someone called. She has been doing really well in our home. I have gotten her to stop chasing our younger cat by distracting her and if she did chase her before I could distract her I put her in room by herself. It only took two times being left in a room for 5 min before she decided to stop. I have been calling her sweet thing and poor thing or cute thing so my husband and daughters have just been calling her thing or ting. |

| Thank you for all of the things you are doing for this little Yorkie and the owners. It could be something terrible happened and the owner is very ill in the hospital with no one to help her find her baby right now or something else very traumatic. I would keep checking everywhere with officials as much as possible and make sure they retain your information to contact should the owner respond. One thing I might mention about Yorkies - they tend to have bad dental problems so they need to have their teeth brushed daily and regular dental check-ups and cleanings as people do. And most of them cannot handle fatty human food, pork, etc. Some are prone to pancreatitis and other problems so you might want to search and look for the medical conditions they are more subject to developing. I wouldn't use a collar and leash as they can develop collapsing trachea. Regular vet checks and tests can catch any of these things early on. Yorkies can be very personal dogs and will attach to you very readily and adore the lap time. They tend to be true terriers at heart and usually react to potential prey such as a cat or squirrel with bolting right after it without even thinking so you always have to leash them when out of a fenced yard and expect them to react first and think later when their chase instincts kick in. Never leave a Yorkie outside unattended - they are prey themselves to hawks, large cats, dogs that jump in your yard, dog thieves and don't tolerate hot or cold weather at all. They can escape through the tiniest enlarged place in/under a fence or gate. That's all I can think of right now. Again, thank you for working as hard as you can to reunite this baby with her owner and giving her a home until and if he or she is never located.
