| Lost both eyes due to neglect ~ Rhode Island ...poor baby... Adopt a Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie: Stevie: Petfinder Stevie is an 8-9 yr old Yorkie/ Silky Terrier that weighs ~9 lbs. Stevie had to have both of his eyes removed due to previous neglect, but he is still a lap baby that enjoys going places and sniffing new things. Stevie is not housebroken but is pee pad trained. Our adoption fee is $350 for most young/adults and $400 for puppies. We have had to raise our fee do to our transport costs from the south. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."

| OMG I just want to hug him. What can you say about his previous ownners? Nothing I can say here, that's for sure. Thank heavens he's in wonderful, caring, loving hands now. Wish I had a house again, with a fenced in yard and was retired. |

| He's gorgeous What a sad story. Too bad a lot of these rescues don't adopt out to families with children under 10 years of age. However, I do understand this to a certain degree.
