| Rehoming my furbabies This post is extremely hard for me. My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago and he recently moved out of his condo and into his parents house. The yorkies are not adjusting well, so after much thought and really no other option, I think the most unselfish thing to do is to rehome them. My heart is completely broken. I treat them like human babies. Losing them is like losing a part of my soul. I can't express in words how difficult this is for me. Bella is almost 2 years old. She's five pounds. Teddy is 9 months old at 3 pounds. They are both full grown. Very good at with kids and other animals. NO aggression what so ever. They've been very loved. They are the sweetest little angels I live in the bay area. I will not ship them. All that I ask is whoever wants to adopt them to give them full love and attention as I have done with them. I haven't thought about the adoption fee yet, for that's my least concern right now. and I'm too broken hearted to even think about putting a price on them. I prefer to adopt them to a retired couple or a stay at home wife so that can have someone around at all time. Bella and Teddy have always been together so I would only adopt of you're willing to take both. Shipping is not an option. Ideally, I would like to visit the home before I give my final answer. I live in bay area, california. This email is very hard for me to write so if you have any further questions, please email me at bella_vietgrl28@yahoo.com |

| oh my, I am so sorry you need to rehome your baby's.. that has to be hard to do... I do not blame you for not wanting to ship neither,. I am sure you will find some one who really wants them and let them stay together... make sure you make a contract.. saying they both have to stay together.. or that you can come and take them back.. at the new owners loss.. I have seen, not on YT but some one took two to get the one they wanted.. then let the other go...just for your information... I do know some one looking and she does not want baby;s.. she is a yter,.. her name is kanda.. although she lives in canada.. she would I am sure try to make arrangements... good luck... |

| They are not with my folks. My exboyfriend's parents. My folks live in Hawaii so they can't help much. My exboyfriend owns the condo that we were living in before, I figured no matter what happens the yorkies will always have a home, but unfornately he can't afford the mortgage so he decided to rent his place out and move to live with his parents. I wish I could afford to buy a place now but I live in bay area california, and the price of home is here is ridiculous high. I want to keep them more than anything in this world, but for their best interest, its best they be adopted else well. I'm so worried for them and I know I'll forever be broken hearted when I think of them. |

I just pm mary to see if she would like to give them a home. She lost her baby a few months back. She is a wonderful and loving person. Let's see if she can take them.

| Thank you for your help. I have been crying for the last few hours. I'll be waiting for her response. It would be great to see them once in a while and to know they are well and happy. I can't imagine never seeing them again. I'm so so sad right now. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I just spoke to Mary...she is not in the right place yet to get a new baby. She would have loved to help but she knows that it's not time yet. Believe me your in the best place to find a new family for your babies. Wish I could take them and keep them for you. I feel so sad for you.

| I am so sorry you have come to this conclusion. How difficult. I understand your former boyfriend can't care for them, but are you also unable to keep them in your apartment? Separation can be difficult on animals, but they can adjust with time & love. I'm concerned that they will even have further separation issues without you. I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I don't know your full situation. I just know they must love you. And I know about rehoming - I took in 2 from a girl in a similar situation with a new baby, and I know for her she made the best choice for herself, because she didn't have time to give the yorkies. But I really don't understand what is preventing you from keeping them? Were they more bonded to your boyfriend? Or are they reminders of him? You say they're not adjusting well to your boyfriend's absence, but have you adjusted well to his absence - I'm wondering if they are feeding off your emotions? I know this is a hard place to be & I don't want to make it any harder - hugs to you

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Are they living with you or did they move with your boyfriend ? IF this helps - my husband recently died and I had to leave our home, get a full time job AND move into an apartment - We've been here 2 weeks today & my girls were having a hard time adjusting, but I see good improvements each day & they're getting back to their old 'selves' in the new apartment and actually playing with their toys again - if your yorkies are with YOU - maybe a little time is all they need to adjust to the changes ?? Good luck - I hope they get to stay together - I know my 2 girls would be so depressed if seperated.... |

| If possible give your little ones a bit more time to adjust, because rehoming them will just be more traumatic for them on top of what is going on all ready. I took in Harley in December from a rehoming situation, and it took him a couple of weeks to adjust to living in a new place. He seems pretty much full adjusted now after about 2 months, but there are still some things we are working on.

| Hi All, The yorkies are with my exboyfriend. Trust me, if there is any way I can keep them, I would. My heart is completely broken. I live in Bay Area, Cali one of the most expensive places to live and rent is ridiculously high. There are very few apartments that allow dogs here, and the ones that do are pretty "ghetto". I don't want to put them in a high risk area where they could easily be kidnapped and sold. My decision to rehome them is solely for their best interest. I want nothing more in this world than to be able to keep them, but I know I'm not capable and the best and only choice to make is to rehome them. |
