Isn't this Yorkie abuse???? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

People make me so sick ...why even have a dog if you're going to mistreat it - that poor little thing .she must be freezing and terribly lonely

Shadow's mommy · 11-18-2006, 06:43 PM

Sounds like abuse to me! I would try talking to them and see if they are willing to give her up. Maybe they would even give her to you and not want any money, who knows! Poor thing and her babies! I have 3 dogs. All of them are inside dogs and 2 of mine are BIG LOL I would never let them stay outside in this cold...Some ppl are just cruel!

Taking someone elses dog is a felony (stealing) - it's something that you could go to jail for or be fined for doing. It's great to say - "I really don't care - I'd take the chance......" But, at least, be prepared for any consequences this might cost you.

I have no clue why some people treat their dogs the way they do. And, unfortunately, there are just as many people who treat their children badly.

And - on both counts - it often seems that there is nothing neighbors can do.

I can't imagine that there aren't any facilities or organizations in your area that look after the welfare of animals. I would be doing some homework and then would be taking a lot of pictures and writing a lot of letters - over and over again I needed to .....

**** I do agree that these dogs shouldn't be out braving the weather year round - plus being unspayed and allowed to get pregnant over and over again. You're correct - this is abuse.

Yes - it is abuse - and there really should be someone you can contact and report this to. Call the mayor's office - get the yellow pages out - check with your vet - find out where you can get help.

Good luck! Carol Jean

CHAINED???

OUTSIDE???

I would not wait for her to get loose, I'd go and get her when they aren't home. it doesn't sound to me like they'd even care.

That dog would be gone if I were the neighbor.

CHAINED??? who chains a yorkie.???

That poor baby needs a good home with people who will love her and actually be aware that she even exists. I say snatch her up the next time she is roaming around and do whatever you wish. I know you will do what is best for her, which is much more than we can say for her parents.
Thank God for people like you who care.

Is it stealing a dog if the dog is left to roam the earth alone. I am sure she doesn't have any tags identifying her. As long as she is not taken from the owners property I don't see how it can be stealing. Plus if you take it to a rescue group then she is obviously not doing it for her own gain, she is picking up a stray dog and taking it to the appropriate place.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do have to be very careful as the Mayor of the town is the guy's relative believe it or not! Our homes are right close to one another so I do think they would know that I took the dog..but I am going to try to convince the guy it is wrong to have the dog outside like this and see if he wants to find her a good home. As far as organizations to help here I have contacted the humane society in the next town over once before about a situation and was told they cannot help as we live in a different county. I then called the police dept. here and they said the only way they could help was if the animal was dangerous and they would shoot it! I know it is hard to believe but there really isn't any thing the law will do about it so I think the best solution is like someone here mentioned ....offer to find the dog and puppies good homes.

YORKIEMOM2B2006 · 11-18-2006, 08:12 PM

aww that is so sad.. a yorkie chained, thats unbelievable and outside in the cold...If she or the puppies come in your yard, I would take them, and try to find them a good home. but thats just me, you have to do what you think is the best way to handle it. good luck

I can't imagine they would come and lock you up. tell them you just took it in to let it warm up and get some water. They'd have to take you to court and I doubt they would want to explain to a judge why they CHAINED a yorkie out in the cold.

Take pictures of it standing out in the cold.

Take pictures and send them to the local paper.

Lucky's Mom · 11-18-2006, 08:15 PM

Some people are just plain dumb! Why would you do that to a tiny little dog?

What part of Kansas are you in? I'll come swipe her if your close!

No...but seriously...I hope you can convince your neighbor to let her go to a good home.

chestermama · 11-19-2006, 01:26 AM

these a holes do not deserve to have a yorkie or any dog for that matter, maybe somebody should tie them up outside in the cold and lonely world.

Diego · 11-19-2006, 04:34 AM

My neighbor kept his Yorkie attached to a tree in his back yard . One day , he woke up and the little one was not there . He placed flyers and never found his little boy .

I only hope the little one have a better life .

Good for them , I truly hope they'll never see the little one again .

psvidesigner · 11-19-2006, 05:38 AM

Why don't you offer to buy her? Maybe if you made them an offer they would sell her since they don't seem to give a hoot. I know this sounds stupid but I would be willing to donate to this cause. If she is an older dog then you chances may be better. After you secure her and you can not keep her surrrender her to rescue. She will find a very good forever home. Please keep us posted.
