There's directions for posting pics in the YT library too. If you need help, just ask one of us.

That particular Yorkie was found on August 28 (see the bottom of the page you linked to).

Thank you all for the tips and advice, it is very much appreciated....Still have not gotten any replies about ownership. I know they can get messy quickly, my bandit does that's why we keep his hair shorter....whoever did own this little guy didn't take very good care of him, and I say this because his nails were overgrown badly and he was smelly and filthy and just in poor shape, and he is a little skinny and was dehydrated but he is clean smelling now and nails trimmed and next I will see if he will let me trim his hair a little so it all looks better. I went around today and checked with a few places and in a couple of neighborhoods near where he was found but nothing still......I will keep looking until it is evident that he will not be claimed. but for now he is safe and sheltered and fed here and loved on

That is so sweet of you to take such good care of him, and he's lucky you found him.

Bless you for doing all you have for this little guy. But do keep looking for the owner, you never know what the circumstances were, why he was running the streets and for how long. If his owners are not found, I do hope you keep him and care for him. If nothing else allow a rescue to take over. I'm pretty sure he is going to have a wonderful life either way.

This heartsicks me. I'm so glad you found this little guy, regardless of the circumstances...but it worries me that someone is looking for their baby. This pup couldn't have been on the streets very long, he wouldn't have survived, I honestly think he somehow is lost. Yorkies can get messed up real quick so I wouldn't judge his current condition as abuse.

My sheepdog got out for 24 hrs and when I finally found her she didn't look anything like herself....

Please keep looking...

Can you post a picture here?

Thank you for taking such good care of this fella.

They said other than that he seems to be pretty healthy. I have gone around to neighborhood and asked about a missing dog and nobody is missing him. Have also put ad in local paper here in Lampasas and put flyers up around town and businesses. Right now he is resting comfortably by my desk as I type this. He is a very sweet and loving little guy, its sad to see ppl do this to these babies. haven't figured out how to post pics yet plus have been busy.

Can you post a copy of the flyer here, I would be happy to post it in and around on CL and to other vets in your area (I don't sleep much at night).

Verbena · 09-15-2013, 05:09 AM

I am so glad that you took him in and is giving him a home until his family is found. I would just put in the flyer lost yorkie and no picture. I would make the owner supply a picture of the pup. I would not want anyone to claim the pup that wasn't the real owner

What a generous offer Lynzy! I didn't realize you're close to that area.

The real owner will certainly have pics that would make identification possible. Of course, that would be a condition of me releasing a "found" pup.

Here's the link to YT library that will help post a pic or any flyer so we can help find his home: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...orkietalk.html

OP, please please, put yourself in the other person's shoes. As you can tell from your responses here, a lost yorkie is a very missed part of someone's life.

I don't live in that area but am very good at finding my way around the web

My brother lived in the Army Base not far from there for 8 years he offered to help too. Nothing would make me happier than helping to reunite a pup with a heartsick family...and worst case scenario the pup stays with the wonderful person who found him....its a win win, but I know I would want someone to exhaust all measures before giving up.

There are older people who have little access to computers etc., there are people who don't know the web.

OP can you email me a copy of the flier???

Or give him to a Yorkie lover who will care for him. I feel so bad he was in such awful condition. Bless you for all you did for this precious dog. He will be a wonderful friend and companion. What is one more loving sweet little cute dog? Wish I could have him but I am in California and have 2 little lover Yorkies already.

Wow??? Imagine for a minute your pup escapes, runs through the fields, the yard, there are burrs all over, your pup is so scared he keeps running...just hoping you appear....in 10 minutes flat that dog can go from beautifully groomed to what the OP describes....thank goodness the OP found him, but OP must do the right thing and find this pups family....what if it was your pup?

Furthermore, the OP says the pup is sweet and loving and potty trained etc....sounds ok to me.

You are making a lot of assumptions. It's possible this owner did have up lost posters, but someone who didn't have great intentions in mind has kept the dog for a good bit of time. Or it's possible the dog was stolen sometime ago and was kept by someone who didn't know how to care for yorkies. It's also possible that this is a much loved pet, but the owner fell on hard times and has not been able to keep up with grooming (we saw this in a post from earlier this week).

All I know is tha I would be horribly upset if one of my pups were to go missing and someone decided they were fair game to keep because of their appearance when they found them.

The only right thing to do is to keep looking for the rightful owner.

Glad you took this baby in, sounds like he wasn't going to last much longer. Happy to hear he is getting love, shelter and food!!

dawn27 · 09-15-2013, 11:49 AM

Thankfully you took this pup in and are caring for him instead of him being out in the streets scared and hungry.

Have you contacted your local humane society, rescue groups or Dog wardens ?

That is always the first place that I would check and I assume anyone who has a missing pup would check. Also, if your vets office has a FB account they will post the information there for you to help in your search. Well at least mine does.

FB is such a world wide venue and can spread fast !

Facebook at the vets, humane society etc...this is definitely another great idea I wouldn't have thought of!

Found a little guy today!-little-man2.jpg

[/ATTACH] Here are a couple of pics of him. I ran out of flyers so I will have to make some new ones. Thanks for all the tips... I will be calling my vet again tomorrow, talked to them on Friday. they did take pics of him there in case anyone was looking for him....He also had a collar on, but I will not show it because I will use it as identifier to right owner, it is not a regular collar, if someone claims to be owner they will have to tell me what type of collar and what color(s).

also I did check out the pic of the one that was lost that was on fb and looks similar but its face hair was darker
