Tink is with me and alive.

First, I know how you feel about Tink. I'm sure I would happily trot even deeper into debt if one of my babies needed it. I'm glad she's got you for a mommy.

As far as "he who has no name", well, all he needed were antibiotics costing about $6 and a flea bath. The vet is doing all of that for free. That being said, I try not to judge the original owners in these situations too harshly...perhaps the overall cost of the dog was getting to be to much and they just didn't know what to do.

He goes to his foster home Friday night, so he'll be looking for a home. Apparently on the East Coast, as the rescue feels strongly about only placing them where they can pick them up in a hurry. They've placed over 500 yorkies, and have had more than one occasion where they recieved a call (from the people who adopted) saying come take him back or we're: giving him away, putting him to sleep, letting him out the front door....etc.

Aw, poor little guy. We don't have a Yorkie rescue here that I can find. I'd take another in a minute - well maybe not quite. But I want a buddy for Tink one of these days soon. Have to save up a little first just in case!

I think they are, but everytime I look, they won't place outside a certain range and there's nothing by me.

bummer. I understand why rescues limit there areas, I really do. But it's too bad. There are so many good homes out there that are outside of their "regions".

Gingergirlsmom · 08-01-2007, 06:16 PM

When you are ready, you could contact UYR and see if they accept fosters from your region of the country. They may just not have anyone in your area. just a thought...

Are you picking him up to keep him or to foster him?

Neither. I'm picking him up in the am, keeping him until Friday, then driving him to his foster home...

It's very nice of you to do that. I don't think I could foster because I work all day.

Everyone who fosters around here works all day. That's the thing. It's all volunteer and most of them have jobs/dogs/kids/obligations. I think the family who fostered Bernie told us they'd fostered like 50-60 dogs so far...

I don't think I can foster because I'd end up with 50 yorkies....I'm already well outnumbered!

Tink's Mom · 08-01-2007, 06:48 PM

Oh Bernie!

Gingergirlsmom · 08-01-2007, 06:56 PM

Ummm, I think I know what she's thinking about...

Aw, that's so cute. Tink is climbing over my shoulder to see that thought!

Gingergirlsmom · 08-01-2007, 07:02 PM

look at what I just found...

Tink's Mom · 08-01-2007, 07:04 PM

Aw, Tink just fainted! JK. I'll have to have you teach me how to do that. That is so cute.
