Are there any babies included, or are they all adults?

Tae1107 · 07-20-2009, 08:29 AM

Who was the rescue that pulled them? That is great they are able to adopt them out at that price....up here it costs alot more than that to vet them

samnotoes · 07-20-2009, 11:31 AM

I have put my application in to Save a Yorkie. I hope they will be getting some of these babies. I am still waiting for my first baby.

My Rufus (Schnoodle) and I are looking to adopt a sister here in western NY. It makes me sick every time I hear about any animal not being cared for.

I would love more than one, but hubby says no.

I love my boy and can't wait for a girl to spoil.

Here is the rescue that will be adopting them out for $150.

It may take a couple of days for someone to get back to you, as they have been very busy with getting the yorkies settled and helping out with the ones still at the shelter.

I hope all the rescues who take these Yorkies in will be very diligent about screening prospective homes. Former puppy mill dogs have very special needs and will need rehabilitation. Their new owners will have to understand the baggage these dogs can come with and how to help them overcome it.

I know exactly what you mean. I took in a Shih-Tzu that had been with a breeder. She had never been outside. To this day, she refuses to potty on the grass. She always uses the deck or my husbands cement floor shop. I wish that I could get her to go on the grass, but thankfully, she is now at least going outside. We had the hardest time getting her to go outside not in the house. She's great now. She has the best personality.

Most rescues experienced with mill dogs will only place them in a home with another dog. Since most have had limited human contact, they have a strong pack instinct. That is their only security.

As you said, housebreaking former mills dogs can be very challenging. The poor things have gotten used to peeing and pooping in their cage. Some really can never be totally housebroken.

I have heard wonderful success stories, but I have also heard sad stories where these special souls were not placed with people who knew what to expect and how to rehabilitate them. I just hope all the rescues who get these dogs are very careful to select appropriate homes for them and provide support afterwards. Hopefully they will be flooded with applications so each and every Yorkie will find his perfect forever home.

I agree, that is why everyone in that area that wants one needs to find out where,when,who and how. As you know North Carolina uses gas chambers as I have posted before. Just go and find out who the rescues are and put your name on the list. Also someone needs to check to make sure no other Yorkie is left behind in that shelter. Dont just Phone, go down and check personally!!

BonBon · 07-20-2009, 01:59 PM

Another member of YHR went to the shelter this morning and all of the dogs had been removed from the shelter by rescue groups.

manolos mom · 07-20-2009, 02:10 PM

YES.....Great News...

DogLovingOwner · 07-20-2009, 02:37 PM

I am just reading this thread! PM me ANYONE with details on adopting.

DogLovingOwner · 07-20-2009, 02:46 PM

Sorry for double posting, but I've emailed the rescue groups! But anyone please PM me with info.

yogini75 · 07-20-2009, 05:21 PM

We rescued 18 of the yorkies. They are on there way to south florida. We need donations. Please visit The Pet Health Cafe Radio Show to make a donation and help these babies. They are going to need a lot of care before they can be adopted!

Rescues are working on transports...but none (as of yet) are really willing to work with any rescues in MA because of the strict laws here...

We are going to try to be as creative as we can...my boyfriend lives in RI so we are going to see what we can do with that....and looking in to see where we can maybe quarantine some of them...
