Anyone looking to rehome a Yorkie or see any rescues out there that I'm missing? I posted in the Yorkie Rescue threads but I thought I would get some advice from my regional buddies. I've been looking for a Yorkie friend for my mini poodle and was hoping to find a rescue. I got my Poodle 6 years ago from the SPCA in California and he's been such a great dog. He was owner relinquished. I thought I found a Yorkie at the Oregon Humane Society but sadly she passed away there this week before she was well enough to come home with me. She was starved so much at the puppy mill that she came from that she had ulcers in her stomach and they became infected. If you guys could keep your eyes peeled for me if you see any at shelters let me know! <3 |
Check YTNR. Looking for a New Home... |

Did you try Pet Search Results: Adoptable yorkie Pets in Portland, OR: Petfinder You can search by zip code or shelters and rescues in your area. Good luck with your search and i hope that you find the wonderful rescue that you are looking for. :) |
Vars, Thank you for posting those links. I didn't even think to look in the Seattle area. I responded to both of those ads and now I'm checking my email every five minutes. I haven't had any luck yet. |
I saw this girl today in Yakima Washington. I'm hoping that they wont mind me driving from Portland to see her. Thanks to everyone that has been helping me look! You guys have been really helpful. I was feeling really stressed out this morning about unrelated stuff and my poodle noticed and started pawing at me. I took him out and we ran around the block. He knows how to make me feel better : ) I love how dogs can be so in tune to our emotions. |
She's adorable! Good luck. I'll have my fingers crossed for you. |
I hope it works out! |
She is a beauty Good Luck. |
Good luck and please let us know how things go. She is beautiful :) |
Success! Yesterday a woman in a town near by contacted me and today I looked at their dog. He was the daughters pet and she was going away to college soon and the rest of the family didn't have much time for him. They were very nice people. We talked for about an hour and everyone felt comfortable with each other. The dog is six and seems well socialized for a little guy. I will post photos of him when I get home. He needs a little grooming but so far he's a sweetheart. |
Congrats.! Please post pics of your new baby when you have a chance. :) |
Here he is! http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/41a80156.jpg http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/776ec2a4.jpg I took those yesterday at the park before I took him home and gave him a bath. He had a lot of eye crust! He is so skinny! His previous owner said that he was a 'picky eater'. She was feeding him Beneful dog food and I guess he was only picking out the red pieces? |
He is really cute. I wish you the best with him. He only eats the red pieces? Sounds like a yorkie:rolleyes: |
He's adorable! Congrats!! |

Beneful might be the reason that he has eye gook and if he is only eating the red pieces that might even be a bigger reason for tear stains. Red dye is known to cause tear staining. My suggestions would be to eventually switch him to something without the red dye. |
Congratulations - he's soooo cute! |
We're slowly switching him to Solid Gold. That food cleared up quite a few problems for my poodle. Also, his mouth is so tiny maybe the red pieces were the only ones fitting in his mouth. He's so little I can't help but be super concerned about his weight. |
Thanks for the pm and I'm tickled that you were lucky enough to find your lil' Yorkie:animal36boy! Btw...what did you name him? |
I think we are naming him Iggy after Iggy Pop because that's who he looks like! |
LOL! He does look like Iggy Pop. Congratulations. |
Very happy thread. It made my day ! Congrats ! |
I have a sad update. About a month ago Iggy started having seizures. He had a massive one and we rushed him to Dove Lewis which is an emergency vet in Portland. We ended up having to put him down because they didn't think that he was going to recover. Over the 2 1/2 years I had him he became the best dog I've ever had. He was with me through so many hard and good times and was always an amazing comfort. I don't think I'll ever want any other kind of dog. Yorkies are so in tune with their owners I can see why you're all addicted. |
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May Iggy rest in peace. |
Thank you. I keep asking why this happened because at our last vet visit everything checked out fine. I have had nightmares where I've tried different things to keep him alive. He tried to hang on but in the end he was so scared and in pain so we decided to give him some peace. I talked to a woman recently who told me that she thinks Yorkies only really have an eight or nine year lifespan. I came back to this site to see if that were true and of course it's not. There's no reason that Yorkies cannot live 15 years plus. |
There is a beautiful Ch sired female listed by Amazing Yorkies....check it out. Healthy dog, beautiful dog, from a well known, well respected breeder and show person. |
So sorry for your loss |
