| Loose yorkie When I took my yorkie for a walk last weekend, a little yorkie around 4 lbs. follows us. I pick her up and ask neighbors around there who she belongs to. The people weren't home and I ended up keeping her for 4 hours until they returned. I politely told them that she needs a harness and leash or she is going to get hit by a car. They didn't seem to care. The same thing has happened twice since that day. The little girl told me today that they tie her up outside when she leaves for school. It is getting cold and I am so worried about her. She is young and not housetrained. I am just sick thinking about her!! I'm going to call the Humane Society tomorrow and see if there is anything I can do. I have 2 yorkies and absolutely love my yorkie boys. I do not want another dog at this time and hope the humane society can help.

| That is upsetting I don't know why they have that dog. I feel so sorry for any animal out in the cold. Yorkies are definitely an inside dog. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | This makes me sick and angry at the same time. I do hope the Humane Society can take her and find her a better home. I could just cry right now thinking about any yorkie baby tied up outside. If they don't want her or want to take the time to train her then they should rehome her. Please keep up posted on what happens. People never cease to amaze me at how stupid and uncaring they can be.

| I totally agree. If they're worried about potty accidents or what not, why not put her in a play pen? There are so many other alternatives if you just put a little effort... |

| So sad....Even in the summer, i worry about leaving my boys outside unattended. Anyone could steal the dog....they are easily hurt by other animals(hawks, skunks, possums,other dogs etc etc)....heck, my moms dog had to be rushed to the emergency room for a bee sting and it would have died had she not gave it an antihistamine for the trip to the vets. For the life of me, I just don't see why someone wouldn't crate the dog inside instead of leaving it outside. I am guessing the Humane Society may come out and check on the little one to at least make sure it's got food, water and shelter. Sadly, if they give it that, I am not sure there is much they can do unless the dog is hurt and in immediate danger of dying. If it's out running loose, the humane society or animal control may be able to do something about that though. If someone picks up a dog in our area, it costs money to get it back out and if it's not licenced with a rabies vaccination, you are looking at a bigger fine. I know some even charge more if you can't prove the animal has been spayed or neutered. Maybe if they had to dig in their pocketbook, they might think about taking better care of their dog, since obviously the thought of it running away or getting hurt doesn't seem to bother them much. Of course on the other hand, who knows if they'd even bother to call around to the humane society or animal control to look for their lost dog. I have a really hard time understanding why someone would get a dog if they are just going to leave it chained up outside all day. |

| Or...you could search for the nearest Yorkie Rescue and just wait to grab her (from the street) and take her there. Or ask is you can have her or buy her. If those people are cruel enough to tie anything to a tree they do not love or deserve animals especially anything as fragile as a Yorkie. Getting loose from a door being opened is much different than being tied to a tree. She is a sitting duck for basically anything to happen to her. Poor thing!!! Makes me very very angry!!!! There will be others with very good suggestions on here. Please do something and also keep us posted. Good Luck!!!!!

| Well I would just have to "help" that poor baby find a new home! If she keeps getting loose and they don't care then what would it matter to them if she disappeared for good? They have been lucky so far that she hasn't been hit by a car or stolen!

| Not sure when this thread was started, but I live very close to you, Cherokee Village. I would be interested in taking this little baby. One can not leave a yorkie outside unattended for any reason. This just kills me! Do you think they want to rehome her? |
