Sick free yorkie on craigslist ??

[YorkieRose]

I saw one here in south Florida...asking for vet money for a sick dog...my friends male had a $2000 surgery and she thought about standing on the corner with a can and ask for donations..seriously, I would give money to a serious case over someone wanting to buy beer or drugs.

I emailed just to see if she would email me, I am not interested just like to hear the story. There was another Free Yorkie the other day on CL,, she was beautiful. They didn't want money but said she got over 300 replies and couldn't answer them all, she was having her spayed but had a potential home for her.Of course we have another YT member that took in a 6 year old Yorkie from a member here and when she got the dog he didn't look anything like the pictures.

I have taken that into consideration, but I do feel the important thing is to get him to a vet asap for an initial assessment and to, at the very least, get him eating or on IV Fluids. From many previous threads I've read, it can take a few days to get a Rescue involved, and I don't know if this little one has that kind of time.

And I don't think it's a good idea to call a rescue yet, as we really don't know if this is a scam or not, just guessing that rescues don't have the time or personnel to investigate....

its a waiting game now ;/ just have to wait for a reply from her

I had rescued a yorkie girl who was in a terrible (!!) condition...somewhat different from this one though. Let me tell you, it's A LOT of work and a LOT of money. I, like you, really wanted to save the yorkie, but it ended up costing a lot more than I had originally thought. I'd suggest turning him into a good rescue, which I tried to at first but no rescue would take her. Do make sure a rescue would take him before you bring him in. Otherwise, you will have to be responsible for him. She may just post a fraction of what he needs...

Craigslist Yorkies! Grr!

Poor little dogs, getting traded for Ipads, or electronic devices. I made the mistake of looking on it the other day and I was appauled.

Good for you for trying to contact her. One would think she would attempt to give the dog over to a rescue as opposed to advertising her for sale, but once again that would actually require thinking.

Grr!

i contacted her saying i wanted to help & she was obviously not interested in helping the dog . just helping herself . if the yorkie was truly sick i hope he will be ok !
