Can you believe this :thumbdown A so-called "well to do" couple in my hometown bought 2 yorkies Christmas, one for each of their teenaged children. These "children" are never home, so the father said the yorkies had to go. He tried to sell them for what he paid for them, with no luck. (They are registered and are beautiful - his price was exorbitant) A couple of days ago, he was ready to send them to the pound:mad: :mad: A woman who has several small dogs, including yorkies said she would take them and find homes for them (which she's done, including selling them for the man at half what he was asking) She's keeping the babies until the new owners pick them up. I found out today that the 2 little yorkies shy away from human touch and act like they've been hit or yelled at or both. They act like they've been caged all the time!!! I'm so furious with this couple who think that yorkies are "just dogs" and think they could survive at the pound (which only holds them so many days before euthanizing) I know they would've been adopted, but the idea that this "fine, upstanding member of the community" could react this way to YORKIES is just beyond me. |
People are just plain strange. Teenagers are not responsible enough to take care of a puppy. Their just to busy being teenagers. |

That is a very sad story. When I bring Haruka to work, many people want to get yorkies.. Then I usually have a couple minutes conversation with them about how responsible we have to be.... and all that stuff we always think about on YT. |

i think you just have to be an animal lover... no animal lover would do anything to hurt or harm or neglect... no matter what age.. some people are just friggin idiots and need to get a beating |
soo sad...some people just dont' understand.... |
some people just dont have the same 'connection' with animals as we all do. its a wonderful thing, to be able to feel that way about an animal, fortunatley i have been able to extend my connection futher to thoes ugly animals we call meat... people honestly dont see the animals as having a brain, emotions, wants and needs, they see them as there for their pleasure, which should go and hide somewhere when its not wanted.... i dnt think we can change the way people thing, but just try to educate them of the responsabilites before they get a pet. any parent getting a pet for a child, and expecting them to do everything is nieve. there children, teenagers and they get bored easily! p.s not bashing teenagers i am one! lol 19 and i too moved out at 16, grew up first and love being indipendant! :thumbup: |
Why have yorkie's or any small animal if you cant spoil them, love them and care for them. I hate when people treat animals so badly, it breaks my heart. I'm glad someone took them and rehommed them so they didnt have to be subjected to the pound. |
Very sad. We sometimes get pets for my children. My daughter has fish, and my son has 3 tree frogs and a snake. When these were bought; I took them under the full expectation and acceptance that these pets are part of our household. I would never give a child a pet that I wasn't willing to take care of myself. (Which is one reason why Jacob hasn't gotten most of the pets he's wanted.) Now these pets are small and in terramiums or aquariums; I wouldn't even consider getting them something like a dog or cat without considering them mine also. :( |
which is EXACTLY why I never sell my babies to people who are buying them for someone else. NEVE NEVER NEVER |

We are a throw away society. I always feel that if someone has the capacity to do that to an animal, then they can't be that responsible around human beings either. It just angers me to no end people who buy dogs on a whim, and then when the dog doesn't do the right thing (ie: get potty trained fully in 2 days, keep its mouth shut, etc) then it goes to the pound or whatever. I love some of the excuses for people who turn animals over to shelter. Too sad. |
What a sad story. I hope those poor babies find good homes and live long and happy lives. |
Teens are not responsible enough to have a small dog like this. My 16 yr old said she wanted Baby to be "her" dog, but when it comes to feeding, watering, walking, brushing, bathing, etc... I do all the work, so guess what! Baby is MY girl LOL I do make her do stuff for baby cause i think she needs to learn this responsibility, she may moan and groan, but it's good for her lol As far as this guy re homing these innocent little babies, maybe it was the best thing, maybe now these little babies will find great owners who will appreciate them! |
thats sad for the poor dogs im glad there getting new homes for the people that say Teens are not responsible enough to have a small dog like this Teenagers are not responsible enough to take care of a puppy and me and i know a few people here would take offense to this this is completely untrue not all teens are like this i got brownie is 16 and i took care of him 100% and now i have 3 i take care of 100% its all how you Raise ur child my mother taught me to take care of my responsibilities and we are the only way a animal can survive |
when I hear that someone got a dog for Christmas, it just raises a red flag to me- especially as a gift for kids. A LOT of such dogs end up at a shelter, once novelty wears off or the puppy grows up :( this is so maddening. |
Too bad "well to do, fine upstanding citizens" doesn't always mean brains or heart. I think often it means spoiled and uncaring. kim |

Discarded Yorkies I would hope that each city in the US has a no-kill shelter available. There are Yorkie rescue groups that have their names available at kill shelters and contacted the instant a Yorkie or Yorkie look alike (small dog, etc) is brought in. Such a sad story to hear and they probably were stuck in the crate and told to "shut up". |

Those kids treated the animals according to the example that have been set for them. What do you want to bet their parents have spent little real time with those kids as they've grown up? That to me is equally as sad. |
