Have you ever had to surrender a Yorkie?

[babi1542]

Just checking to see if there was any new info.

I just read every post in this thread and I have the biggest stomach ache! That poor baby! I hope he ends up in someone's hands that has the time and patience that he needs!

It bothers me that he's bit you, his own family. We had a chocolate lab once who was extremely afraid of small children and would growl and snap if one was around (our youngest at the time was about 4, he was OK with our family but not other people). He did actually bite a child (thank God it was a very minor wound) We tried socializing him with no luck, he just got worse. We ended up putting him down because our fear of a child getting hurt or killed outweighed everything else. All I could think about were the stories you hear on the news about dog attacks and I could not live with myself if that were to happen to someone by my dog. He was just too unpredictable. We knew putting him in another home would be giving someone else the same problem. The vet tried to talk us out of it and the next day confirmed with us that we made the right decision as they had to tranquilize him in order to get close to him. It was the hardest decision we've ever had to make. I feel for you, you have a hard decision to make. Good luck.

I am also a parent of skin-children and 5 Yorkies...

I am sure one of your kids or a child you have known has bitten or had a bitting problem before. We do not put children down...we teach them better, by all means necessary! I would do the same for my Yorkies as I regard them as an equal part of our family. Like I read earlier on here, pets are not disposable

But I also smell a troll...but I just had to comment, sorry

Seems like someone that wanted to rehome her dog so desperately, would get back to you!!

[spruitt7]

Not to sound rude, but honestly to me, she seemed like she didn't want to take out the extra time to try to get him to a rescue place. That makes me really sad.

[SgtPeppersMommy]

Ditto... I'm slightly concerned. I have so much time on my hands, I wish I could take him... I'd fix him up real quick. Poor baby...

[shashaxxx]

Ithink its a wind up, because like you all said if she was worried enough to post why wouldnt she answer all the kind people willing to help her. just a shame sometimes animals fall into tha wrong hands. i love my babies

Maybe someone in that area needs to check the animal shelter, she may gave already turn him over to them.

For the life of me I just can not comprehend how a human being with blood
running threw his veins can dispose of any animal because they are just
done with it!

Ditto. Also wanted to add that growling (which the OP mentioned) doesn't necessarily signify a "bad" dog. Kalina growls ALL THE TIME and she is a gentle, sweet dog. She has never made an attempt to bite anyone. She just likes to growl.

yeah my mickey growls when he is sleeping on our bed and you try to move him over a bit. he is a moan when he is tired but he has never so much as snapped or bitten us and he is such a sweet heart. just lately he has been a brave boy and became confident to walk outside. so hardly a savage killer who growls

[Buddy-licious]

According to this person's profile....they were on yesterday but I guess decided not to update us. I do not expect we will ever hear from this person again. So sad!!!! I hope they at least read all the concerns and have decided to NOT take the little Yorkie to the pound!!!

[Suzy]

I smell a troll... something's not adding up, especially since many have offered advice and help, and there's been no update.

[SgtPeppersMommy]

Someone has even offered to take him off her hands, and still nothing. PLEASE UPDATE US!

I can't seem to accept the fact the the OP is willing to put to sleep this defenseless baby when he might need some direction. I have experienced this situation with my own furkid. One night we were playing with him in our bed and he went to grab his toy and accidently bit my husband in his genitile area. (he was naked ) He bleed a lot and we got scared and called the ambulance and they took him to the emergency. Well the animal control in our area called me and said that they would be coming to the house to have a look at the dog.(Too funny b/c of his size) Well when they came they told me that he needed to be cuarentined(??sp??) for 10 days and we didn't want for them to take him but it was standard procedure(??sp??). Those 10 days were horrible we missed him so much. We were going crazy b/c he wasn't with us and they won't even allow us to see him during that time. I'm sure if this would of happened to someone with out a heart they would of said to put him to sleep but we didn't. We understood it was our fault b/c he got into the trash and ate some oreo cookies that were left from a milkshake I had earlier that day. (I know pretty dumb of me )

But it never crossed out mind for him to be put to sleep b/c of this accident and you want to put urs b/c of a small bite that drew blood. My husband and I have made a joke out of this incident and say that doggy prison did him good. He(Max) still sleeeps with us we just take the necessary precautions so that won't happen again. As it was just an accident. And he is the most loving dog you can met he just ate something that chemically does not mix well with his system.

P.S.My hubby would kill me if he know I posted this but I just want to get my point through to the OP. If you no longer want him take him to a rescue.
