Sweet boy needs forever home
 

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could take in this precious boy. He was left at the rescue by his family and is not doing well. He is very sad without his family. My husband and I are currently fostering a few dogs one of which is blind another blind and deaf, plus a schnauzer HW+ , a Cocker who is HW+ , plus we have 4 dogs of our own. If we had more room I would take him in a heartbeat.

Silke Terrier for adoption from Hearts United for Animals - national no-kill animal shelter, sanctuary and animal welfare organization.

Thanks,

Terry

I'm not sure you are aware of this type of scam we have been seeing here in the US (not saying your one of them) so when someone posts a free dog, then wants money to fly the dog here and if anyone sends money, they never hear from that person again.
Panama is full of wonderful people, and I'm sure you won't have any problems finding this boy a perfect home there. ;)

I cannot vouch a 100% on this rescue but I have been receiving emails and newsletters from them for over 5 years. They publish a wonderful brochure and tell heartfelt stories of what has happened to their rescues.

At this stage of the game I would not say they are a scam but again I have never worked with them or talked to anyone in the organization.

The shelter is in Nebraska according to their webpage and the OP is not from Panama...she is from Panama City...I believe that's in Florida.

Just a quick reply. First off I am in Panama City, FL which IS in the United States. Second my husband and I rescue dogs and right now we have a bunch. We have 4 Cockers 2 mini schnauzers and 1 Yorkie. I look around the internet to find babies that need help. I found this poor baby and he really touched me so I joined this forum to see if someone could help him. I would if I didn't already have so many. Third HUA (Hearts United for Animals) is a NATIONAL NO-KILL SHELTER. You can check them out. Fourth this baby is not free. His adoption price is 200.00. So again I ask please send this to people to know who might be able to help him out.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A SCAM. I cannot be 100% sure but I do not think so.

bumping this up- this poor little guy needs a home so badly.

How can a shelter be national? Are they using the name shelter instead of rescue?
I am wondering if they have been in existence for so long why they do not have a 501c3...not that it makes them legit. It just seems odd to me. I see that they have a spay/neuter clinic. So...they may very well be legit. I just am not understanding exactly what they do....do they have foster homes in various states? They don't say where each dog is.

I think what she is trying to say is that she posted the silkie because she saw a need for him to be place but he is not with her. I am assuming that TAM does not have association with this "National Shelter" which is causing confusion. But if it was me I could not want to associate myself with something that I was not totally familiar with.

TAM/OP can you please give us more information about this shelter that this little guy is located at? When I went to the website most of the links did not work properly. I would also like to know who owns/runs this shelter because I have never myself heard of them.

I understand why she posted it. I was replying because people have mixed opinions on who this group is. I am curious myself....I have also never heard of them.

They look very legitimate to me but who am I to say? Take a look for yourself Network for Good :: Search for a Charity

They are legitimate. I have a friend in Iowa who went there with her husband and checked them out. They adopted a Pom from them.

They could not speak, more highly of the shelter.

Good to know! Thanks!

You know I just joined this forum yesterday and I am really not impressed. If you look on their site they are 501C. There is contact info and you can go there and see the dogs. As far as national means is they take pets from anywhere that need help and place pets in homes ALL ACROSS THE US. They will only allow an adoption after all paperwork is submitted, there is a home visit done and references are checked. To me that sounds legit. Please I am only trying to help and it seems that there is so much negativity out there. Do any of you actually rescue pets???? Because we do and we know how it works and this organization DOES NOT SEND ME RED FLAGS. I also NEVER said that I back this organization I just simply asked for someone to help this baby. I am not forcing anyone to. Mabye there is someone on this forum who maybe lives near the shelter and can get hiim. My goodness!! I think I will have to change to a different Yorkie forum. Thank you to those who have a positive response and to the ones who actually bothered to check out the site. And I checked the links and they work fine. Maybe if there is one that doesn't work maybe the web address moved or is gone and HUA just wasn't alerted. They are very busy. I am sure because we only rescue up to 7 at once and we barely have time to breathe. I cannot imagine how busy they are HELPING OUR FALLEN BABIES.

Terri, please read my post above, and also don't let a few people's posts give you the wrong impression of YT.

My goodness, if a person hasn't heard of a shelter, it must not be legitimate. :confused:

There are a lot of great people here.

The links worked fine for me, as well.

Again, I will say, The shelter is LEGITIMATE.

Perhaps if you come in and post a few more babies from them, people will hear about them more. I receive their newsletter.

I looked at the website and did not see that they are an approved charity. Good to know..thanks so much! I asked some questions. Did not see any red flags. Just did not get it since they said they are a rescue and it said shelter. I have been in rescue long enough now to ask questions since not all groups are what people think they are.
Sadly, there are many puppy mills and/or high volume breeders who also call themselves rescues; so, I ask.
So....thank you for your information...it is nice to learn about different groups!
And...yes I rescue many and have been for a few years.
