Wonderful advice Smartpuppiepets. I love Yorkies Inc, and also am more than happy to help with this unfortunate situation. I give much credit to this pet owner for wanting to do the right thing for the dog. Regards to all, Susan, Clover Hill Yorkshire Terriers

thanks everyone
 

I really appreciate the support. I am working up my courage to call yorkies inc.

You will not be sorry and again, if you want to bring him here please feel welcome! I can also meet you anywhere even at your place to get him if you need to do so... i am a breeder and a lover too , so no worries. Susan also is an awesome person, lover and will do just the same if you need us :rolleyes:

You are doing the right thing !
It is comforting to know that you can have updates from the very best owners... so be courageous and call Yorkies INC! I love their work... it may no longer be listed... but me , and susan, and a bunch of other good people all were listed on their donations page around christmas time! They are serious !

Excellent posts! She has alot of courage to give up her boy. xxoo Vicki and Tessa:aimeeyork

MASS neighbor....Just popping in to see if there are any updates...wish I could take him - but I can't. Good luck.

Hi, I had 1 yorkie owner request him but she changed her mind. I took him to get groomed for his interview and the groomer had an owner of another little dog come in- they requested I call if it did not work out. See both homes said I might visit or call once in a while. I have not called the yorkie rescues yet because well I love my dog and want to know who he goes to with the promise that if it is not a good fit they will return him. I am being very honest about the barking and potty issue. also did I mention- he only likes some people- not everyone- strange he has never been abuse as I got him as a small puppy from a breeder. He is a very grumpy little guy.
I do hope though when I find the right home he will turn into a happy dog. So I feel like if I could put 3 yrs into trying to train him- I can put a great deal of effort into finding him the right home. The perfect person: knows and loves yorkies, is okay with a full retraining mission, is okay with allot of barking, I think he might do better with a small pack, would promise to return him if it was not a good fit- please say some prayers for us. And thank you everyone.

I know you are trying to do the best for him, and bless you for that. However, just a thought, maybe a yorkie rescue who does this full time would be better suited to find a perfect match for him. They would have the expertise to assess his and the owners needs even beyond what you might think of, based on their experience.

It's gonna be hard, no matter how it goes, and I truly wish you and your beloved doggie all the best.

End of the story
 

Dear all wonderful yorkie lovers. I have a wonderful end to my story. One person posted that they might adopt the little guy but he was to large to be a play mate to her smaller yorkie. Before I knew his "interview" was cancelled I took him up to my wonderful groomer (K-9 Kuts in GLO). The groomer told me there had been a lady in that had fallen in love with my little guy and she wanted to adopt him also. So when things fell through on my first try I contacted the lady the groomer had suggested. Thank you all my prayers have been answered. She loves him, has another small dog- different breed who my dog( or her dog :-) loves, he has the run of the house, he sleeps on the end of her son's bed. She has somehow got him to potty train, stop barking and loves him dearly. I have found my dog angel. And the most wonderful thing is she lets me call and will bring him over for visits once he acclimates. she lives within .5 miles. It is so wonderful I could cry. THANK YOU for all your help and support!

Sincerely,
Done
I love dogs very much, but I think if you see a strange lady asking to pet your dogs It is me. Happily petless and asking to play with everyone elses dogs. Thank you again- last post

I am so very happy for you. It's not easy to give up something you love.
I hope your mind and heart can now be at rest.

Thats a great ending!

So glad to hear all is well for your dog!

Oh .. very happy ending ! so glad you found a neighbor to take him in :)
you can still visit and you have a lot of courage and strenght to admit you love dogs but for now ownership is not working for you !
I am sure you feel so blessed !
Again... congrats ...

This is heartbreaking, but I understand your frustration. A Yorkie's high pitched bark (especially continuous) can drive one up the wall, not to mention the housebreaking problem. Have you considered a "NO Bark" mechanism? Our newest Yorkie barks alot and was driving us nuts. We just got this thing last week and it has been such a blessing. He still barks, but only once or twice instead of non-stop. I paid $35 at PetEdge. I also agree with the crate thing. Keep the little pooper in a crate and straight outdoors.

Good luck whatever you do. You seem to have his best interest in mind.

just read your last post :) I'm very happy for you and especially your little pooper :)

hi..im so sorry about your situation..i know exactly how you feel...i too have to make the very difficult dissision to rehome my two beautiful babies...ive had Louie for 8 yrs and Bella for 7...they are great little guys.. I have fallen upon very hard times and just can not afford to care for them the way that they deserve. I cant affort to take them to the vet and They never get outside because i am constantly working. They are very very attached to me and im so afraid if i rehome them that they will miss me so badly that they will die of broken hearts. I just want them to be happy and healthy and loved. I am in worcester massachusetts. If anyone has any ideas or know anyone that could give my babies the love that i give them I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank You, Tami
p.s. good luck to you.

I am so sorry that due to your circumstances you find yourself making the difficult decision to rehome you pups. I cant imagine how hard that must be for you but we all know sometimes the hardest thing are always what is the best. Its that type of decision that show how much you truly do Love them.

This thread is from 2010 and if you have not already you may want to start your own thread to aid you in your search for new families for your pups. It is a more likely possibility that more members will see it and be able to help !
