Now Accepting Applications for 5 Yorkshire Terrier Puppies, and their mother. They came in with a recent seizure, and will be available to go home by May 15, 2008. The mother is a 5lb female Yorkshire Terrier, 4 years old, with the most endearing personality. She gets along with dogs, cats, and children and loves to play with her new Kong toy. She along with her 5 children (4F 1M) are seeking families who would like to show them life the way they should live it (with lots of Love, and Spoiling, etc). Mom is a Puppy Mill refugee, so she is still working on her potty manners, but is doing very well so far. She is excellent with a Doggie Door. All of them are purebred and the puppies will range from 3lbs - 5.5lbs as adults. The father (who has already been placed) and "aunt" (also placed) were 3.5lbs. All will be spayed / neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. We will require an adoption application, adoption fee, and adoption contract. Would prefer homes with small dog experience, however that is not an absolute requirement. If you would like more information on any of these very special dogs, please e-mail us.

Visit Our website for more information on Adoption Requirements/Fees as well!

Don't forget we also have many other wonderful dogs that are available for adoption, or will be soon. So if you find something else that may fit in with your family on our site, please e-mail us!!! (Updates made daily)

Awww.. . I wish I could adopt one, but I am in North Carolina. Do you all accept donations? What are the ages? I have some friends in Ca. and NV. who may be intrested. One home in particular sounds like just the place! I will let everyone know about them! I hope they all find great homes!

I hope they all find great homes too. I was browsing craigslist and thought that yorkietalk would be the perfect avenue to post this. I've been looking at their website but they have not posted anything about this particular case yet. I wish I can help them but I already have 3 bundle of joys at home.

I looked at the website as well. Sorry I thought you worked for them lol.

I wish I could help too. I just saw they accept nation wide adoptions, but I would hate to have one shipped or to drive that far with a puppy which was just rescued from that kind of situation. I dont know. I might talk to the adoption agency to see what they believe they can handle. I am definitly going to make a donation.

Yup, I made a donation too.

How tempting.. I don't know what I would do with all those babies. I am so tempted, but I live with my in laws and am not sure, well positive they would not be having it. :( I really hope and pray that they will find the best home ever! :)

Um, I'm a loser! I thought the ad meant that they all had to go to one home.. I'm a ditz! In that case... hmmmmm

I read the website and the aoption fee is $300 for adults and $375 for puppies. They also adopt out of state at your cost! I would so adopt one if I could! Hopefully, someone on YT can contact them!

Gosh I would take one...I tried to to download the application, but my computer is messed up...I would just be concerned with shipping a little.

Anyone ever do that, how are they shipped, whats the average cost???

Anyway I called the number on the website and left a message...If anyone gets anymore info on them please PM me....As I posted a few weeks ago Im still searching for a female...I often check on craigslist here,,but these rehoming fees are crazy...I feel if Im going to adopt I rather it be from a rescue group that will use adoption fee's to help other helpless yorkies..It kills me when people buy a pet and then decide they dont want it, and then look tto make their money back..Im sorry just venting:(

I think shipping is around $250 give or take..

Gutu....Did you get my PM??

where are you in the bay
 

im in santa rosa are you close??/
julie and tede-bare

I called that rescue, I left a msg..a woman called me back ..I told her I was interested in adopting but that I couldnt download the adoption appl...so she did it over the phone...She was willing to do a escorted shipping for an extra 150 dollars...and they would bring the puppy to my house to do a home evaluation..It sounded perfect although the women was yawning constantly throughout our conversation....I told her how to we go about payment..she wanted me to wire her money or threw paypal..I told her that I needed to speak with my husband first...she then said well I can only give you an hour and then she has to move on..I couldn't speak to my husband right away ..so I havent called back.....:(

Does anyone know anything about this rescue group...she really sounded legit

I haven't a clue if this is a reputable rescue or not but rarely does rescue ship nationwide...just not sure about this organization. When I was in Arizona doing rescue their name never popped up. I always look to see if a rescue has a not for profit status also.

Just to be safe I would contact the local animal control to see if they know anything about them. You could also contract Prisoners of Greed to see if they know about this organizaton.

oh I do hope that the add is for real.. but if no one knows of them, or cannot have anyone check them out.. then I would not send money.. sad we all have to feel like we are being scammed.. but today who knows.. maybe get some one close by to see them and check..
Maybe I am wrong but it seems strange they would ship and for only 150. send an escort to do a home visit.. who pays for the return of the escort is what I am thinking...
If this is for real, I hope all the yorkies get a home..

Im sorry correction she said 125.00 for shipping..she is nevada and im in atlanta..she said that atlanta has a big hub and that the escort was going to maimi and could easily stop in atlanta.:confused:

Has anyone checked out airlines fares lately! $150.00 to fly from Nevada to Atlanta seems too little to me and then on to Florida. When is the home visit? No reputable rescue would do this. There concern is for the welfare of the dogs first and while people complain about the intense background check on people it is to safeguard the dogs.

This seems to be going down to easy.

P.S. A reputable rescue doesn't move on, they take as many applications as they can to find the perfect home for the dog.

I know AirTran has really cheap flights for people, but I called myself, and she doesnt sound professional. She kept getting distracted in our phone conversation. She was very hesitant with many questions I asked and was getting her information confused. She was even distracted when I spoke about flying all the way from NC to rescue and to make a donation. I would BEWARE and BE CAREFUL!!!!

Rule of thumb.. If it SOUNDS fishy or it is toooo good to be true.. Most of the time it IS.. So PLEASE be careful, I have read about TOOO MANY of you on here Getting SCAMMED.. Its so many people BEGGING for $$$ on the net you just dont know IF it is a REAL CAUSE....

Is there someone/ANYONE who lives in NV that can ask to go visit these puppies and their mommy?

What questions did she ask you? Did she appear to be really asking a lot of questions to find out if you would be perfect for one of her "rescues"? Did you ask more questions then she did?

At first she asked me how many animals I had. I told her I have none and that I would like to adopt around May 11th when I get settled in with my new move and would have a roomate there when I am not. She asked me if I had children 2x...both times I answered no. Then she asked me if anybody would be there with my baby when I left home and I had to once again repeat that I would like to wait until May 11th because I would have a roomate and I didnt want to disrupt him/her with a move. I had to tell her 2x that I did shadowing with a vet and worked part time at Periwinkles "dog spa" and when at both of those places my yorkie baby would be with me. The only times he/she would not be would be is for my 2- 50min classes everyday (in which he/she will be with a roomate or at periwinkles). I was astonished by her lack of intrest in my donations and adoption intrest. She was asking some appropriate questions but her mind was not in the conversation. I also added that I am planning on going to vet school and I shadow over 2 different vets and may know several people intrested in helping. I knew almost from the start with her unprofessionalism and her repeated questons that she was unlegit. It is so sad people do this to others.

She keeps calling my cell phone...I finally answered and she said she was following up...I told her that I wasnt interested and the the call was dropped....By the way her # comes up RESTRICTED!

Well you have just confirmed what I have thought from the beginning...this is no rescue or at the very least a reputable rescue. Rescue's need the help and financial support from individuals to survive and while one pup might not be perfect for you another would be and they would want to stay in contact.

I think this is just a breeder trying to sell puppies and using the cover of "rescue".

Aww man! That's so WRONG! :mad: :mad:

It is so sad that they do this. I would much rather them be upfront with me. The only reason they do this is because they know their breeding programs are well below standard and they are trying to get every penny they can. Many of them dont even have the animals promised (like the one I was making the donation to). I asked all of the right questions and did a lot of research. One of the vets I shadow even was about to chip in. It is so sad and sickening!!

I want one
 

I tried to visit the website but it says under construction. I love yorkies but I dont have the money to pay a arm and a leg so I wanted to adopt a puppy. I have ran in to schem after schem. Its really disapointing.

I would love to help out but neitherof the links works .:(
Can anyone give me the number of the shelter?

Did you read some of the previous posts? It seems it wasn't a reputable shelter, just some byb trying to sell some pups.

What's the Lady's name please?
 

I'm sorry about I'm reading that sight and it sounds like a known scammer to me, and I'm currently running a search on ripoffreport. I know they were on that one. More then once. Please all be careful. I lost $600. to a rescue who had posted here once. and still working with the State of Ca to bag her. tyty

thanks
 

Im glad I did some research today or I would be in the same boat. I found all these places online and then when we got to talking it wa smail me 200 for shipping western union. I asked to pay direct and they wouldnt have it. Looked up the shipping place didnt exist and so on. I figured I should just look for someone in my area to pick up with. I found someone she said the y will be ready next week for 500 and I get to get it from her house so I am excited.
