awww ive just been looking at yorkies who are in rescues in the usa bless them

wish i could come over and take them home with me. makes me wonder why there are so many of them as there are not many at all in the uk rescues. have any of you got a rescue?

whats your feelings on rescue yorkies would you rescue one or if you wouldnt why wouldnt you

i got brandi from a rescue and i must admit she has got more problems than the others. annie was kind of a rescue as the lady couldnt keep her anymore so i said i would have her but she isnt as scatty as brandi shes more spolit and moody lol

i dont have a rescue but I know there have been several on here who do. They are just probably not on right now.

I think Cindy (livingdustmops) has about ten rescues. She must not have seen your post yet. I agree there are so many her in the USA.

I would rescue a yorkie but unfortunatly I have a 4yr old and rescues do not want to adopt out to a family with small children. I have one yorkie that I purchased and she is wounderful with my 4yr old. If I could find a rescue that would let me adopt, I certainly would. meeshue

i think thats a shame, you already have a yorkie so your child is use to them so they should let you adopt one

If I ever find a place like that I would defently rescue and there are not that many in new york

Most small breed rescues advertise that the dogs are for families with older/or no children because alot of these dogs have come from homes where they were not socialized with kids or were abused.Most rescues will consider you if you have a small breed already and you ask them to do a home visit before they make a decision.Offering to foster the puppy/dog is a good way to let them know you and then you can adopt.

yeah very true i think a lot of it is a gut feeling from the person who is doing the home check. before i went to see brandi at the rescue they told me on the phone that i would have to pass a home check before i could take her home but cos the lady at the rescue liked me and saw how well looked after tye and zac were as i had to take them to the rescue to meet brandi they let me take her right there and then, they did a follow up home vist 2 months later.

I have a yorkie that I rescued from the local shelter here. She weighed about 3 lbs when I first got her. She had mange and a few of her front teeth had to be removed because they were so loose. I got her in April. I just recently noticed a small lump or "nodule" under her skin on her chest. I was so worried it was cancer or something. The vet checked it and turns out it was a BB. Can you believe someone shot her? Just makes me sick!!! They vet thinks she's about 8 or 9 but said it was hard to tell because her teeth are so poor. She was really almost hairless when I first got her because of the mange. She now is getting grey hair. I've read so much on here and now I went and got her that Missing Link and hopefully that will help her too.
Oh Yea! she is up to 4lbs now too!
