Here Was A New One For Me!!!! I just received a call from a very nice lady that was looking for a female Yorkie FOR A CHARITY RAFFLE EVENT!!!!!!!!! Have never had that happen! Can you imagine?? Female Yorkie! $25.00/ticket, Raffle drawing April 30...a person in charge of such a "raffle" could easily rake in 3-5 thousand dollars if this goes thru a church or gets on FB!!!! I used the opportunity to try to do some educating....she was not interested and wanted to know if I knew anyone that would be interested in helping the charity by donating a Yorkie....I wouldnt even give her the name of people that are ? questionable breeders........ |
UNBELIEVABLE!! Wonder what kind of charity.you would think if it was for an animal cause that they would immediately know that was a no no...can u imagine some that would pay the $25... |
People are so idiotic when it comes to dogs! What if the raffle winner had 2 toddlers and an infant and a fulltime job working!!! Or was a hoarder living in pizza boxes and dirty diapers! Ugh!!!!!! |
I wasn't even thinking that Jeanie...I was thinking someone who couldn't afford the money for a yorkie's vet care? |
Judy bless you for trying to educate her. I can't believe anyone could be so ignorant! |
Could it have been someone making this story up to get a free puppy for themselves? |

Someone who thinks a living creature, especially one as delicate and individualized as a yorkie is appropriate for a raffle???? Amazing:eek: |
See what I mean about people?!! Oh brother, like that would actually happen...amazing :rolleyes: |
That's an outrage. |
How ignorant |
Disgusting! Last year, a YT member found an advertisement for a raffle with a top prize of a Yorkie puppy. YT members wrote to the charity and begged them not to raffle the dog, and they were successful! |
Judy I Know what you mean ! There was a big stink when Movie Stars did that. Osborne got the dog. Darn I wish I could find that write up . Any way all of us on YT would think a Yorkie for a door prize or raffle prize is crazy ! People have to answer some basic questions before adopting a rescue. I had some one snap at me once, 'Why all the nosey questions ? God this is only a dog, I'm not wanting to adopt another a kid here !' I looked at the snot encrusted toddler and the bare footed baby in soggy diaper chewing a nasty cookie. Her boy friend went out to smoke dragging a sad looking little boy covered in ant bites with him. 'Just Call me when you got a really little one.' she said. When she was out the door, I tossed the application for a rescue in the trash. JUST A DOG , OMG No way was she getting one of ours ! |

Wow ! . . . |
Very sad that someone would even think to this..............! |
wow..................so unreal. |
I never heard of such a thing in my life, thats just ridiculous ! |
Thank God you told her and also tried to educate her. I think someone just wanted to make some money and what an awful way to do it. Some people wil just sell their puppies for the money and do not care what kind of homes they get. Bless you. Susan |
My friends school had an auction and one of the prizes was a Great Dane puppy. One of the people there won the dog for her. This poor dog had so many health problems and passed on before it was 18months old. She did everything she could for her baby. This puppy broke her heart. |
:eek::eek::eek: What words fit this request...I mean, that you can say in front of children, of course! :eek::eek::eek: I suppose it's great that she called you, so you could try to explain WHY this is NOT a good idea...sadly, she'll probably just dial the next number on her list. I actually have seen advertisement of other charitable events where dogs/puppies were raffled off based on entry tickets sold...and wondered what happened...and/or what the winner would do...if they didn't want the dog. These were very 'ritzy' events, but 'money' does NOT equal love or caring, IMHO. Each of my Yorkies and my kitties is a huge prize, but it is their :2hearts2: hearts :2hearts2: that I've won! {{{Hugs}}}...what a stressful phone call...{{{more hugs}}} |
Somehow, I'm not really that suprised. People will do so many crazy things for the love of money. It's so very sad for the creatures involved! Kudos to you for trying Judy. |
Wow! That's awful! |
