Need Advice.. Craigslist Yorkie

Maybe you could ask her to come down so she can get spayed if indeed she is preg, and any other vet care she needs.Its so hard to turn our backs to these babies I wish you the very best..I dont blame you for your concerns.
as i would feel the same, not knowing her history, It would be nice if she provided info about her previous owner. either way i hope this little one finds a wonderful safe home.

The present owner really needs the money. You could offer less and she'd probably take it. It's an overall sad sad situation.

Perhaps you could make an agreement to have her evaluated by your vet before payment? She could even meet you at your vet's office with the pup.

IMHO, I think this woman probably knows more about the pup than she's letting on. It's one thing if it were her family pet that got pg and she couldn't handle the pup or pregnancy any more. But it's very convenient for her to deny any knowledge of the yorkie's condition because she got it from some stranger in SC. It may not even be a pregnancy - maybe some other health condition?? Or maybe the pup tied with another very big dog. Who knows?

If I purchased her, I'd take her to my vet and have her immediately spayed. In this situation, that's probably the most humane thing to do.

Best wishes,
Tracey

Just wanted to update everyone. After talking with her more and more there was something very alarming about her situation. I just don't see how she bought the dog and then found out afterwards that she was pregnant. She also couldn't give me information about who she bought her from. I was planning on calling and confirming details with the previous owner. We also asked if we could give her payment now and if puppies did come from her and they were healthy to offer her a small supplement from a litter. She denied. Long story short, my husband and I discussed it and decided that we would be best to pass on her even though it broke our hearts. We have young children and are pregnant and the last thing I want to do is bring her into our homes and end up losing her. Thank you ALL SOOOOO much for everything you offered as advice. In the end something wasn't right with her story. My heart is hurting, but it was best for my family.
