Congratulations!!!!!!!I'm in Florida, but all the way south in Miami. Good luck with your new baby and finding a leg to get her.

I actually am FROM clermont, Florida.... how did you find her?! I've been looking like crazy for a rescue female!

Unfortunatly I can't help

I wish I could since literally she in my town, but my schedule doesn't allow it

Do you know if he has any other female yorkies? Like is it a rescue you are working with?

dogears · 10-15-2008, 05:43 AM

Actually I found her on petfinder from the thread Breezaway posted a couple days ago. The guy said he got her from a friend who couldn't keep her in ME and he can't take care of her because he has 3 kids and recently moved to FL. His posting went up too late on petfinder so he just took her to FL with him. If I have to drive the 8 hrs I will. I can't let her get by me. She is too cute.

Jacklynn · 10-15-2008, 06:00 AM

Gosh I must have missed her on petfinder! I look like everyday for the entire Orlando area. I hope someone can help you out, I really wish I could, but my schedule is weird this week. Plus if I helped I might just bring her home with me

jk

I really do hope everything works out!!! But if for any reason it falls through, please let me know, I would love to take her in if you aren't able to.

I just moved from Clermont lol... I used to live right on 27 at tradds landing ...I hope you find someone to help you !

dogears · 10-16-2008, 02:34 PM

I'm so upset I made arrangements to have her brought up to Charlotte and now the man won't answer my emails. So I don't know if there ever was a yorkie or if he just gave her to someone. I just wished he could of had the guts to email me something, insted of having me make arrangements.

Jacklynn · 10-16-2008, 06:28 PM

oh no! That is so upsetting! Have you tried calling? Maybe he just was away for the day?

dogears · 10-19-2008, 09:06 PM

Be careful of petfinder classified ads. It was a scam. After I told the man I would pick up the yorkie instead of pay for her to be shipped is when all communication stopped. Also the exact same ad was reposted on petfinder on 10/18/08 with the contact info, state, and dog name changed. But the wording of the ad is EXACTLY the same as the ad for 10/08/08. SO BEWARE

thats ashame. look at the post above yours, there are some cute dogs that need homes asap

Jacklynn · 10-20-2008, 10:56 AM

Thanks for the heads up! Especially for me because I live in/right near Clermont, and probably would have gotten my hopes up eventually thinking there was a yorkie in my area. Sorry to hear it was a scam

Did you report them?

dogears · 10-20-2008, 11:14 AM

yes I reported them to petfinder. Petfinder did reply back that they received my email

Valeria Morriso · 10-20-2008, 01:47 PM

I don't mean to put a damper on your happiness. But....I think I responded to the same ad. I also corresponded with a man from Clermont, FL who had a yorkie to re-home. We corresponded, he even gave me a telephone number (that didn't work, even though the operator said it was a working number). When I caught on to the fact that it was a SCAM, (when I told him that my husband and I would be coming to pick her up), the correspondence became very, very obscene and vulgar. I would most definitely check this out some more.

Yeah that sounds about right. I think he was banking on the fact that we would pay the money to have her shipped instead of coming to get her. He just would not respond to my emails once I had made arrangements to come get her. I emailed him last nite to let him know that I knew it was a scam and that is when he decided to become vulgar. Oh well.
