| Rehoming two Yorkies, 5 and 6 yrs old I know this isn’t going to be a popular thread but I am looking for advice on rehoming our two Yorkies. They are good girls but I recently had a surprise miracle baby at the age of 41 and it’s just too much. I would love to find them a home together. I am very particular about who I will give them to though. Anyone know of any organizations to help with this? Thank you |

YT 2000 Club Member | Rehoming Congratulations on your baby! Definitely keep the yorkies together. It's very hard on dogs when they change environments. You will find a person who loves yorkies and will take them. God bless you for caring enough to find a loving home. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Volunteering at an animal shelter twice a week - I see this all the time. It just kills me when I hear the reasons people abandon these poor little ones, who are supposed to be members of their family forever. I have to be honest and stand up for vulnerable dogs who can't stand up for themselves --bc I think people who believe dogs are disposable from their lives should not adopt, ever, in the first place. I don't say this to hurt you, I say it because it's my honest opinion and because our fur family members deserve more from us human beings; they deserve to be forever safe in the family who chose them. Not given up bc they're just "too much" all of a sudden. It's heartbreaking. I'd recommend you find a yorkie rescue, or, if not that - then a no-kill shelter.

| Congrats on the miracle baby. Your life is definitely going to change. As sad as it is that they have to go to a new home, it does sound like you are looking for a good one for them. Please be very careful who you choose. Do your due diligence and make sure the home they go to is going to be their forever home. There are many unscrupulous people out there who will misrepresent themselves in order to make a dollar at the expense of the furbabies. Good luck in your search.

| Its going to be very hard for them if there is any way you can mange it even by hiring a dog walker I would try everything. Recently we had someone on here who rehomed her yorkie thinking she did it very well and the pup ended up in a shelter and put down. Your best bet is to have a yorkie specific rescue help you.

I don't need or want to know the details about your daughter. In my opinion, your 2 other fur daughters are also your daughters. And you're getting rid of them bc they're "too much", as you said. And in my opinion, this is not the way family members should be treated, be they fur family or skin family; I don't believe in discarding family. Every person on this board has "too much" in their life. I don't know a single person in my real life who does not have "too much" going on. That's how life is, everywhere. Still, having "too much" going on shouldn't justify retracting our lifetime commitment to our fur kids - a commitment which should've been thoughtfully considered the moment you took them into your care. Adding to your family shouldn't justify or explain getting rid of current family members. And if you really can't understand this, without getting defensive via implying your reasons are far more important and/or different and more justified than other people in the world -then I guess in a way, I'm glad they're being rehomed and I only can hope it's to a family whose values include committing to them for their lifetimes. Again, I don't say this to hurt you - I write this bc it's my opinion and bc it's situations exactly like this that cause our U.S. euthanasia rate to be 3-4 million pets a year - the number is that big mostly bc of people giving up their pets bc they're just no longer convenient for them. And it doesn't matter whether or not you find them a home directly or give them to a shelter bc once they leave your care, they could end up anywhere ultimately. I hope these poor girls find a home that will commit to them for life.

| Some quick googling came up with this. https://www.yorkierescue.com/ The Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue Inc. was founded in 1997. We are dedicated to finding the best possible homes for Yorkshire Terriers in our care, regardless of age, sight, hearing or other handicaps. Everyday we help local pounds and other types of shelters find Yorkies in need of our help in relocating homeless and abandoned pets. We screen and visit every home with a pre adoptive interview, personal reference checks and in home follow up visits whenever possible after the adoption. We spay and neuter prior to placing the animal in its new home. Our dogs are Heartwormed checked and current on all vaccines. We microchip each dog to our organization and maintain our own database so that we can track the dogs we place for the life of the dog. Read about our Microchip Policy here. We make every effort to ensure that our little dogs live in the loving environments that they so well deserve to their very last day on this earth. We are a non profit 501 c (3) charitable organization. YTNR NEVER places any yorkie through any private person. All rescues we adopt out are done solely through our rescue group. To verify you are working with a legitimate member of YTNR, use this page to contact us or fill out our application to be sure that only a member of YTNR is in contact with you. If you suspect any type of fraudulent activity, please let us know right away. Please go to our Application forms to fill out a Volunteer application, Surrender a Yorkie to Rescue, or Apply to adopt one of our dogs!
