OKAY GALS!!!

I JUST FOUND THIS OUT...MY HUSBAND JUST CAME FROM HOSPITAL...A LADY CALLED THAT HAD BEEN VISITING OUR CHURCH, AND HER FRIEND JUST NOW DIED AT BRADFORD COUNTY HOSPITAL IN STARKE, FL (NE SECTION)...SHE WAS A BREEDER (SORRY TO SAY!) BUT HAS ABOUT 40 SMALL DOGS, MOSTLY YORKIES AND COCK-A-TOO BIRDS THAT HER SON SAYS HE IS GOING TO DUMP AT A POUND.

I am sure they can take them ALL :(

I just talked with them and they can't help as they can't drive that far. They are a small rescue and can't leave the dogs they currently have to make that kind of trip.
If there is anyone willing to help transport she said she can take some and also help home others.

How about: puppymillrescue Home Page

They have ppl in FL :thumbup:

i'd help if i could get them to me i i live in pa

oh darn it...I just email the link to them - hopefully, they don't think I am nuts :p

I left a message for her, I can Foster some until homes are found, I am home all day and night, just waiting for a call back

Thank you to all who contacted Florida Yorkie Rescue. :wavey:Evidently by the sounds of our name, most think we are a large organization that cover the entire State of Florida. Unfortunately this is not so. :( How I wish there was something I could do but I am unable to make the trip as it would take at least one full day to get up there and back. I have a house full of special needs yorkies and can not be away from home for that length of time.

If there was just one good samaritan with a large truck or van who could go get them I know that there are a lot of rescue organization in the middle and southern parts of Florida (both coasts) who would be able to take one or two each... before ya know it, they would all be placed. But it is the location that is the trickiest part of this entire story.:exclaim:

I feel so badly for those poor babies, but sometimes our hands are tied. I cannot save them all (how I wish I could) and neither can other rescue groups. So many of them are full now. We do the best we can but it is so frustrating when our best efforts are simply not good enough. :wavecry:

Thanks for all who have contacted me. If there are any yorkies coming down south please call me at Florida Yorkie Rescue. (772-291-8101)

Thanks and God Bless your all!

Saying our powerful Yorkie prayers here for these pups!

New York
 

Is there a way that a female could be transported to western NY? I am a grandma, don't have a lot of money and have been looking for a female to adopt. I have a neutered male schnoodle, (my husbands boy) and have wanted a Yorkie for a long time. The only reason I am interested in a female is that I think our boy would be more accepting of a female. I would have her spayed. I am not looking to breed. If there is a way, please let me know. Thanks.

bump

I called to see if I could help.
House- No Answer and no Voice Mail option.
Cell- I was hung up. :(
Hope they find them forever homes.

you may have been calling at the same as someone else and couldnt get through. i do know of people who have left messages.

Yeah that is probably what happened, I'm going to try again tommorow. :)

Can't get through still
 

I am in central Florida and would be glad to try and help out. I didn't get an answer at the home phone and the voice mail box was full on the cell.
I would be glad to take a couple - I know several people that would love to adopt a yorkie.

Cannot get in touch with...
 

I am wanting to go to where the yorkies are and pick a few. The phone numbers listed are not valid. No one answers or returns the messages that have been received. Has anyone spoken with her? I really would like to get them before they go to the pound.:animal-pa

If you hear anything I would like to know. I want to adopt some too! I am in Panama City, Fl and I will drive down to Starke with no problem. We also have a no kill shelter here called The Humain Society of Bay County

If you do hear from her... please contact me if you can. I want a few of them!!

I don't knowe if anyone ever got through. I've been watching people post about this all over yorkie groups and everyone says the same thing.

how frustrating.

I'd love to know if ANYONE at ever got a hold of this person.

i would love to take one but how am i going to get to florida and than what happens to the rest :confused: i feel so bad i hope u find a rescue who don't put them to sleep gluck

Still trying to help
 

I still haven't been able to get in contact with anyone. I know a retired couple looking for an adult yorkie and I also know someone that works closely with the Humanitarians of Citrus county that take in dogs(and cats) -have them vet checked , spay/neuter, and placed in foster homes until a permanent home can be found. I also would be glad to foster some of the yorkies till we can place them new permanent homes. Please contact me by phone or e-mail if I can do anything to help. I posted my phone numbers earlier and my e-mail address is nancyb715@yahoo.com.

All Yorkies Taken
 

I just spoke with Becky Scott. All Yorkies have been adopted. She said they went fast. The relative was able to place them before she could get her hands on them to help out.

Not that I doubt you at all.. but I see you just joined today. Did you join just to tell us that? If so...may I ask who you are? This has been such a hot topic all lweek. Nobody has been able to get through to Becky. How were you able to reach her?

All Gone
 

Vickie-

Thank you for your concern. I am trying to find a dream yorkie and stumbled upon this great site. I just simply picked up the phone and got Becky right away at her home. I'm sure you could do the same...and spoke with her. I got the answer that everyone was looking for, so I signed up and posetd a message right away to help out. I appreciate your curiosity, but a quick call would verify my information.

Geez....Just trying to help out :(

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Its truly a wonderful forum and I truly hope you find your dream puppy.
I didnt man to offend you but if you read back through this thread you'll see why I asked. Literally hundreds of people have been trying to help this tragic situation so you can see, I hope, why I questioned you.
It's such wonderful news that all were rehomed. Too bad there weren't enough to go around.
BTW Thanks for letting us all know. (Breathing a sigh of relief!)

Disturbing Results
 

I just got this email forwarded to me this morning regarding the 40 Yorkies...

Subject: Yokies in Starke, FL - UPDATE

Hello everyone,

My name is Dianne Schultz and I'm a member of United Yorkie Rescue here in Florida. I have tried to write to anyone and everyone who may have either forwarded this email to someone else, and who may have forwarded to me, and others who forwarded it directly to me. I spoke with Becky Scott this morning - she said that the deceased owner's son gave away most of the yorkies involved in this situation, but that there were also maltese and poodles and some cats that she was working on getting out of the home. This was an overwhelming situation for everyone and thanks to all who offered to help! Becky said that she thought her mailbox was full so I wanted to give all an update.

The dogs apparently were in horrible shape, very unsocialized and all needing extensive medical care - so it's certain that some of them will be returned ............ sigh..............


A post script to this email was from a personal friend of mine who sent this to me. She added:

Remember the 40 yorkies in need? Well the stupid guy stood in front of the courthouse and GAVE THEM AWAY to anyone who would take them!

This was posted in on of the groups but it doesnt tell that part!



I sincerely hope this is not true. Has anyone else heard a story like this? ...That the guy stood in front of the courthouse and just handed over the dogs to anyone who walked by? If true, I bet within a few weeks, many of those dogs will end up at the humane society or worse. SHAME ON HIM!!!

For the Cockatoos
