Yorkie That Was Hit In S Plainfield - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This is the little Yorkie that was hit in S. Plainfield and left to die on the side of the road. For those that don't know the story, a good samaritan found her still breathing and rushed her to a vet hospital. My husband and I unsure as to what would happen to her if no one came forward, called and we drove almost two hours to her today and spent some time with her and brought her a care package. Her vet bills were substantial, and if no one came forward she would have been turned over to the local shelter. She is very weak and needs probably about six weeks of crate care the vet said. A shelter environment would have been rough, if she would have survived it at all there and whether or not they'd put her down there due to some nuerological she needs work with. My husband is a good guy, he donated $500 towards her care and if no one comes forward to claim her by Monday (Which is the legal time they have to keep her) then we will drive back and bring her home with us. I estimate her to be about four to five years old. She is all skin and bones, but seemed to have been cared for somewhat becase she's not matted and her nails are neatly trimmed, yet she was infested with fleas when she arrived so I can't figure it out. She's unspayed so more then likely at some point she was bred. They've searched for an owner and she is not microchipped. You would think someone would be looking for her.

Here she is pictured from our visit with her today. Hubby is in the background and she is with some of the stuff we brought to her. Please keep this little one in your prayers.

God bless you and your husband for being such wonderful people. Sending out prayers for this little one. And if it's meant to be, I hope you add another addition to your family.

I wish everyone was as caring and loving as you and your husband. Bless you for caring for this little baby and going out of your way to help. I hope and pray that she will make a complete recovery and become a precious little addition to your family. Please keep us updated.

Roccosmommy · 01-13-2012, 12:56 PM

Oh, what a little sweetheart. Bless you and your husband for reaching out to care for her! Sending prayers for her to get better soon.

SophieandZiggy · 01-13-2012, 12:59 PM

This poor little girl will be in my thoughts and prayers as well. I hope that you are able to adopt her soon and that she has a full and speedy recovery!

There truly are angels among us and you and your husband are two of them. I think you have set an example for all of us, and I hope your story is printed in your local papers for others to read. I hope her family is found as they must really be grieving for her and she for them. It doesn't take long for a well cared for dog to get fleas and all when they get lost. Either way, she's in a win win situation. God bless you and your husband!

My lil friend · 01-13-2012, 01:05 PM

What kind and loving hearts you both have! God knows the best place for this baby and if it is in your home,it will happen. I pray that she will heal well.

I agree that it would be wonderful if this little Yorkie could be reunited with her family. I'm sure they would love to have that miracle as well, if they are still looking for her and wondering where she is. Maybe by putting it in the paper and on local news, they cold be reunited. If not, I hope she adopted!

I'm really hoping her family is looking for her and finds her. If I were not almost two hours away I would walk the neighborhoods in the vicinity of where she was hit. The only other guess I can come up with is maybe an elderly person lost her who does not know how to search. It's pretty cold here, so I'm not sure about the fleas if she would be able to pick them up this time of the year? I did also contact a Yorkie rescue in our area, for two reasons one in case someone calls looking for their Yorkie and two I asked for some help with her. We have our hands full with ours, so I'm not sure if this will be a permanant situation or if we will just be able to foster her and then need to find a permant home. I guess a lot will depend on 1. how she is, whether she'll have permanant neurological damage in which case it will almost be impossible to find a home to take her so we'd have to keep her and 2. I have to hope my other Yorkies and she will be ok. She is not feeling good now, so she may be ok with my guys but if she does recouperate I do not know if she'll like other dogs or if mine will take to her, you know what I mean so I have to have a back up plan. We are taking it a step at a time. Right now I just want to keep her safe and get her better. I will take her to my vet this week if we are able to pick her up on Monday and I'll let him access her too and then go from there. For the short time she's made a lot of progress so I'm keeping positive thoughts for her.

Thank you for stepping up for this little girl

You are doing a great thing for her. You will have a special place in Heaven.

Aw, thank you for stepping in and helping this little girl

I hope that her owners come forward, but if not, that she'll find a forever home, whether it's your home or someone else's. She looks like a real sweetie!
