HELP Yorkie found now what???? - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Donna Jean · 06-07-2007, 08:40 AM

I was just remembering when a friend of my from Texas, several months ago was at a convience store, getting a coke, and a young lady opened her car door and her yorkie jumped out and started down the highway, it was just getting dark, and the lady never was able to find her yorkie, it has been several months, and this happened in Arlington Tx. Would it be possible to place an add in the Arlington paper, and see if this could be her little lost dog.

It would take several months to get into that condition, you never know how far these little guys can travel for several months, it would be a miricale if it turned out to be that lady's dog. You just never know, but it would be nice to call the Arlington Police, Pound, to see if that woman ever found her yorkie. I know it is a real longshot, but i just can not imagine anyone letting a yorkie get in that kind of shape on purpose. These little guys have such a close bond with their owners that i could imagine, it going cross country to find it's home. I know it's a real long shot, but i sure would try to find the owners for this baby and go from their.

If it is the owner, I hope it's not a neglect case.

I took one off the roadway a few months ago adn went in search of owners. He already was cropped pretty closely. When they came for him a few hours later, turns out his summer buzz had been given early as the little man had gotten out at a family member's country home the week before and was full of burrs, weeds, sticks, etc. when they found him the next day.

Doesn't explain his nails or eyes -- but he really wouldn't have had to be gone long to get a collection of mats and debris.

I am nearly positive it is them. I am glad that I did get him if even for one night. His toenails were like this for a long time. They said they lost him yesterday at noon. I found him around 3 pm.
If nothing else his eyes are clear , his body is clean and his nails done. He does love and miss them. I am going to ask that if they need some help with him to please call anytime. I also told animal control so they can monitor them and maybe offer help if they cannot do it theirselves.
Any other suggestions?

They are coming over to see if it is hom. He is 15 years old! He had to have been kept outside too as he had years worth of weeds, sticks and etc. The lady was not there but her daughter was, I got their number from the animal control.
wish him and me luck
Bonnie

well I hope it is but then geees why let him get like that.??????? GRRR some people

ellie81 · 06-07-2007, 08:55 AM

I'm glad you helped the little guy. They can't get mad at you because of the free grooming; they should be ashamed of themselves for not taking care of their dog hygiene. If it's them, I hope they get better on that.

cutiepieyorkies · 06-07-2007, 08:56 AM

what a sad sad story poor little ole fellow makes me want to cry his angel was out that night(you) hope all turns out well

WOW! Could there possibly BE anything else you could do?

God love you for it!

wemple2 · 06-07-2007, 09:32 AM

Oh wow...I just read this...You ARE an angel for picking him up, for giving him a bath and the super haircut!!! How long does a dog have to go unattended for his nails to grow like that? Let us all know how the meet goes, was it her dog? If it is and she's had him for 15 years...my goodness...you have to give him back. My only hope is that she learns from this, the poor condition of his paws is what concerns me the most, that is uncalled for...the mats in his hair and around his eyes could have happened more recently from being lost...but his poor little pads, I would think would be from a long term process...I pray for him, and hope you have the strength to do whatever has to be done and God willing the owner will learn from the mistakes and will take better care of him.

Yorkiedaze · 06-07-2007, 10:05 AM

Find out if he is microchipped and if not, turn him into rescue. I would not be looking for anyone to claim him. What a horrible life he was leading till his guardian angel picked him off the streets. You've earned your wings!

Donna Jean · 06-07-2007, 10:37 AM

That just goes to show what unconditional love these little guys have.

I can't believe the owner let him go so bad. I pray that she will at the very least brush him, and see to it that his nails are trimmed on a reg. basis, I happy and i am sad. Happy because he was glad to see his owners, but sad to think he has to stay with them and does not get the best of care.

I pray that they will take better care of him. You did a wonderful job on the little guy, i am sure he is so much more comfortable, and I hope she gets him a sweater so he does not get cold in his new do.

Big hug for you for doing the right thing!!!!!!!

Sugar's Mom · 06-07-2007, 10:37 AM

if he is in that condition, it is possible he has been lost for a long time. anyway, youhave taken great care of the little guy and i hope it works out. Please try to find the owners before you turn him over to a rescue.

I hope you found his family, but I do not think this family is treating him right.
Poor little fella. He's such a cutie also. You DID earn your wings ... and **excuse me***... she doesn't like the hair cut??? Shame on her.

You did the right thing. Keep us posted.

oh wow - I almost wish it ISN't Them cause it doesn't sound like he's getting very good care

.... and they keep him outside ? That's awful for any small dog to have to deal with.

I don't understand people....why get a little one if you aren't going to keep them inside with you where they LIKE to be ? Poor guy....If it's them, please have a long talk with her and all the best to you. You went above and beyond and I hope he's going to be ok.

you are so sweet to offer to do this, please take animal control aside and let them know of the horrible matting and the toe-nails. They are normally very good with elderly people, but this woman needs to know her dog needs care too

and even if you shaved my dog, I would be upset, but be OVERJOYED that you found him and he is healthy. Hair will grow
