PS: (I do know how to spell Carolina--it won't let me edit the title. LOL)

Thanks for the links. Yes, they should be reminded....and perhaps someone should send a letter requesting the information.
I am not sure I want to do it...I really think somene in NC should!

I know that many other people are trying to track them. Hopefully they will see the links above and do this. Someome emailed me about the thread to begin with...they had seen the link when they Googled to find information about where the yorkies ended up.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to the forum, I just sent an email out to my contact and will post the results as soon as I get them.

I was told the yorkies with Loving Pet have been adopted out already.

How many were there? Were they totally vetted, including dentals? I am shocked that they could adopt out so many with so many special needs in such a short period of time; and without public support?
I still feel sick to my stomach that so many yorkies from bad conditions seemingly disappeared...dropped completely off the radar. I have never seen that in my years of yorkie rescue.

[manolos mom]

I smell something fishy.

Update: Loving Pet still has a few yorkies left, that need to be spayed/neutered. The yorkies were in bad conditions so some had complications after getting spayed/neutered and are recovering. They are using a specialist to continue with the spaying/neutering to hopefully prevent any further complications. They also have about 4-5 pom/yorkie mixes that are 2 weeks old, they need homes and a male pom (sorry I forgot the age, I do know that he is an adult) that is ready to go. If anyone is interested in adopting, PM for the phone number.

Oh yeah 1 female that has heart problems will be staying with the rescue, because she can't be spayed. She has an appt. next week for a battery of tests with a specialist.

This is one of the weirdest stories I have ever heard. And...what IF people want to know where they are? They don't have a website? How do they pay for these bills??
Isn't this the same rescue that I posted about before that said they have no money?
I am sorry to ask so many questions, but none of this is making a bit of sense to me.
I have worried about these yorkies since day one when everyone was so hush hush secretive about them. There were reputable yorkie rescues that can afford them who would see to it that every need was met, yet they were not contacted? Too strange for my comfort. We do not NEED any more pups (sadly we dont even have room for that many...which frightens me about other groups who take them in droves...)...we don't do it for the money...we spend a small fortune making them well again and I would hope others who want to save them would do the same. A simple spay/neuter and shots is not enough for the vast majority of yorkies popping up these days. They have a ton of different issues that need to be addressed.
I have never seen rescues pull pups and not ask for donations, not post them on a website and not update people about their conditions.
And you are their spokesperson? I have to tell you that if I were you and they were giving such conflicting reports, I would run from them. You said they said they were adopted..now this?

[manolos mom]

I dont get it. First you said they have all been adopted, now we have a few. Whats going on and can we have a contact name or the website? People on here would love to help them but we have so many unanswered questions.

All that has been offered since day one is an email address that another YTer wrote to and was ignored.
This is just so sad.
I will say it again: people in NC need to speak up and find out what their shelters are doing!! This is not the first time I have seen this...and I only deal with yorkies...how many others is this happening to?
Scary stuff...things are just not done that way in TX....or any other place that I know of...I have never seen things like this before.

I think this second phone number--the land line in Gastonia--must have been reassigned. The address is for a nursing home.

Whats up with this....A Nursing Home!!!

Let me say this: Don't shoot the messenger. I can only post what I have been told. The 1st post saying they were adopted was what I was told by person A (the "middleman"). The second post I was given this information by the actual rescue, I spoke with someone today. Even my emails failed to get answered, I was only able to get in contact with them through person A.
