This baby needs you!. Hope it all works out for you an Eli to be together.
He is a cutie! Let us kow the decision as soon as you find out.

Oh my gosh! Little Eli needs you!!! His story warmed my heart. I sure do hope he is able to come live with you. This way he can join us when we go to Rogers Doggie Park for our meet up!!

I will keep my fingers crossed and Ransom and Schatzie will keep their paws crossed in hopes that Eli finds his home with you.

I think we could give Eli a stable, loving home with lots of love and doggie friends. I wasn't planning on having three dogs, but this guy needs a good home!
Eli is at the bottom of the page: http://www.ahimsarescuefoundation.org/dogs.htm

Awww! I hope they approve the adoption! You are so fabulous to give this little guy a new chance!

Bless you for getting Eli.

He looks like a little sweetheart who just need a forever home. It's heartbreaking to learn what he had went thru .......... I am glad he made it out all right. Hopefully he would be joing your family real soon. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

wendybee · 01-27-2006, 03:04 AM

my fingers are crossed that you get him, he deserves a loving family and your sure give him that

tmatherly · 01-27-2006, 08:01 AM

I haven't heard anything yet. I emailed the rescue twice yesterday. I let them know that I know the problems Yorkies can face (LP, etc) and am willing to do whatever it takes to take care of Eli. I encouraged them to call my Vet for a reference on how I care for my Yorkies and they are up to date on shots and on heartworm and flea prevention. I shared that I thought it would be very beneficial for Eli to be with other Yorkies (thanks, Livingdustmops!) and someone who knows how to care for this breed. I was honest with them about not having a fence (that may be my downfall), but our dogs always go on walks everyday on leash and we do take them to areas they can safely be off leash to play as well. I encouraged them to make a visit to our home and see how our Yorkies live.

I tried to call the phone number several times with no answer. I'm getting a little discouraged, but I feel I've done everything I can to let them know we would be a good home. The ball's in their court now. If it's meant to be, they will contact me!

whispersmom2 · 01-27-2006, 08:29 AM

You and he will be so lucky to have found each other. I hope the adoption works out!

tmatherly · 01-28-2006, 06:34 PM

I just got an email stating that Eli is getting adopted by someone else. :-( Kinda disappointed, but I guess it's meant to be. I did everything in my power to be the one to get him. I just hope he goes to someone who just loves the stuffins out of 'im!

Oh Tiffany, I am so sorry!

And I will add that I think it is sooo sweet of you to mention that you hope the person who adopted Eli is going to love the stuffins out of him. You TRULY care for him and it shows.

Keep your chin up...There are MANY Yorkie's who would want nothing more than to share their life with you.

simonandhallie · 01-28-2006, 06:40 PM

I just read this entire thread, I am so sorry you didn't get little Eli. Let's just be content that he is going to a great home that will LOVE him to pieces. that is exactly what he needs and although it wasn't you, I commend you for trying so hard to give him a loving home! And of course we all know that you would have! Maybe there is another rescue out there that needs you more than Eli.

tmatherly · 01-28-2006, 06:57 PM

awww...thanks, you guys. I will keep my heart open, and who knows what will happen.
