I really don't understand this although I've heard it before. Why is it, does anyone know? I can't think of why "kill shelters" would have a problem with rescue, especially?!?

they often don't want to work with rescue because rescue wants the highly adoptable dogs. The ones they have waiting lists for.........small, cute little dogs! I work with a local resuce groups and we do work in conjunction with a shelter, but rarely do they need us to take any breed of small dog unless it has some health/behavior issues. (but lots of big dogs!! and cats!)

That still makes no sense to me.....if the dogs is to be PTS, what does it matter who adopts as long as the dog is being well taken care of and is altered before being placed.

any updates on this little girl?

It is really sad that they won't let rescue help all the time. I know many times we could do so much more than they are able to do!
Our rescue does the "adopt" them route sometimes as well just to get them into rescue.

I know this is really short notice but I just saw this. I am in Wichita Falls, TX. It is exactly two hours north of Irving (I drive there all the time.) I would be more than willing to bring her with us for the road trip. We are looking for a yorkie but would really like to be around a few more before we decide for sure. It would give us a great chance to see her. Feel free to touch base with me. We may be able to figure out how to meet someone tonight or tomorrow morning in Decatur and then go to OKC. We are actually going all the way to Branson, MO but have a two hour stop in OKC. Email me if you think we can figure it out.

I'm in Tennessee, but would donate money for gas. Let me know if you need my help.

SassyAnn101 · 07-10-2008, 07:27 AM

Okay, that was stupid... I'm sure you could use money for gas. I'll just go donate.
Sorry....

SassyAnn101 · 07-10-2008, 07:30 AM

Just donated. Hope that helps get that little girl to a safe home.

We cannot pick her up until Monday & are working to find someone to be able to do that. Once we have someone lined up it is a RACE to the shelter... first come first serve

She has been taken down. They must have found her parents.

I'm new to this post but if the Yorkie still needs a home I can pick her up.
