Oh I am sorry.. did that look like bait !!! I generally do not post things to draw in drama.. sorry you took it that way..expecting a response is what people do when making a thread.. or posting.. is that not what we do here on a forum.. sorry if I had it wrong..

wow...back to the OP's post.. i really hope they find a great home together!!!

a side note.. just b/c someone can't afford to pay 700-1200 for a yorkie does not mean they cannot provide for their pet.. i couldn't afford to go out and buy another yorkie.. but i have 5 at home that i provide for just fine.

Yes, it absolutely goes both ways.
Thanks

I don't think that if someone doesn't want to pay $1,000 for a family pet or can't afford $1,000 isn't always broke or couldn't afford vet care etc. These rescues might not be for a lower income type family as they have medical issues. But there are rescues out there, that are already spayed/neutered, that would make wonderful pets for a family that won't or can't shell out $1,000+ for a dog and still could afford vet care.

ladyjane · 09-08-2008, 02:07 PM

What rescue are you referring to? I know of no yorkie rescue that charges $1,000 for a yorkie.
Yorkies with rescue groups do not ALL have medical issues. All yorkies in reputable rescues are fully vetted including spay/neuter.
No one said that people who cannot afford $1,000 for a yorkie cannot afford the yorkie, BUT it does warrant careful review; and they DO need to be educated about possible future costs in my opinion.

WOW!

I was blessed to be able to afford my Bailey and her costs (whatever that might be) but I don't understand the big deal when it comes to people . wanting to get a "pet" from a "rescue". I guess I am missing something? I guess I am thinking no matter if someone can "afford" to actually buy a yorkie; or if they get one from a rescue as long as they can show it love and attention the way it is properly deserved than that within itself should be worth something? I guess I look at things differently but if one is able to take care of it (vet visits and it's needs); and show it love the way it deserves.....to me that is worth more than money itself; I am sure it seems that way to the precious lil furbabies as well

. I guess I am new to whole thing but would think they are blessed if they are rescued; loved; and cared for. Thanks

OK...now *I* am totally confused. I think I am giving this topic up. Kind of done thing anyway.

Before I would attempt to lead someone like that to free yorkies, I would find out if they were aware of the fact that yorkies have many needs that can end up being quite costly. I cannot count the number anymore of discarded yorkies that people cannot afford to care for properly.
Those two had flea dermatitis according to what was said; but it could have been something else that might have cost money that they could not afford.
Just my opinion.

I'm sorry but did you meant his post the way it sounds? Because while $1000 dollars might be hard to do all at once, $500 spread out over the month is a lot easier. I "afford" my baby just fine.

They're soo sweet. I hope they get a great foster family who teaches them what a happy home is and how to be a dog and enjoy life. I'm sure someone on here will take them in and give them a wonderful forever home. Blessings to these two sweeties,

Baron and his Mom

Oh my goodness, what little sweetie pies! I'd love to have them, but I'm too far away and I'm afraid my husband might strangle me if I get another dog

Is there something wrong w/ the one dog's eye or is she just blinking in that picture? Anyone know? I'm curious. I pray they find a wonderful home full of love.

I thought that he might have lost an eye ...I'm not really sure- but have you ever seen sweeter "smiles"? even after what they've been through...
