| Looking for a new home for 10 year old male Yorkie I am looking to place my 10 year old male that weighs 10 pounds in a loving home that he will stay in forever. Unfortunately I have to give up my own home and move into a rental apartment in the Washington, DC. Tyson was rescued by me 7 years ago, never did I think I need to find another home for him Tyson is a sweetheart!! He almost never barks, has not bitten anyone ever and is a kissing machine. We haven't quite mastered pad training but his kind heart makes up for that. He can ride in the car with no problem, but usually not more than an hour or so. My daughter is 14 and he grew up with her which was great for the both of them; he adjust to little kids fast. But doesn't like to be picked up by them at all. He won't wiggle or growl, just a miserable look on his face. Ideally he needs to be in a home where he is the "only child". I have babied him for years so the next home will need to do the same which is why I cannot consider foster homes for him. Tyson likes other Yorkies and some small dogs; but he is scared by big dogs and doesn't take notice of cats. The separation anxiety is going to be very hard on him. Does anyone have any leads or ideas? I don't want to; but I have a clock I am up against. sigh

| so sad I am so sorry that you have to give up a dog you have had that long. We just lost our min. schnauzer that my daughter had for 16yrs (she was a rescue we got for my daughter when they both were 6mo old). This has been so much harder on me than me losing a dog....watching your child lose one....I never knew how hard it would be. I used to live in Alexandria but moved to Stafford. If you get in a bind, I'll help you out by babysitting him while you find a home or help you find one or something. We have lost our elderly dogs.... 3 of them in the last 3 years. We now have only our Yorkie and a kitty that is not even a year old (although she is Siberian so wayyyyy bigger than my yorkie even though she isn't even a year old). I have kids but they have all been raised around my dogs and my mother's maltese and they NEVER pick them up (although my 4 yr old does lug around our cat .... even though I'm not sure how he even holds the kitty....lol). I know someone looking for a yorkie but I don't know if she would want one that old. I will tell her though (it is one of my16yr old daughter's teachers). Let me know if you get in a bind and need some help. My kids would totally enjoy helping. Nikole |

| Which rescue did you adopt your male from? Most rescues would prefer if you are not able to continue to keep a previous rescue of theirs to know about this...they may want to have you surrender back to them so, that they can oversee the replacement. Please contact your rescue group before attempting to place on your own if you do not have the time & resources to interview and do a home check of your applicants.

| rescue Was he a rescue? Yes.... most rescues would rather have him back. A LOT of breeders would too. I know I would. But, you are more than welcome to come ck my home if you need a place to keep him while you are searching for a good home. My hubby is worse w/ his cancer so we are home almost all the time. I couldn't keep him forever, but I don't want you to be rushed with your baby either. I am also talking to my daughter's teacher about him today. This may be a little on the 'older' side for what she was looking for.... but I'll ask what she thinks. poster above.... great advice... you'd never forgive yourself it something happened (and it could happen w/ anyone, anywhere.... but rushing ....even though it's not your fault... would make you feel worse). Good luck! |

| Thanks for the support!! I don't know what I would do if he was mistreated or worst!! I will keep you all posted and let you know how it goes. We have a couple of months before we lose our home. That's not really my worry which I am sure you all know. My daughter and Tyson come first. The offers for sitting touched my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have one possible home for Tyson. A couple in my neighborhood have a three year old Yorkie who I have known for a few years. They have offered to take Tyson. We are going to try a few "sleep overs" to see if he adjusts. Great couple! The wife battles breast cancer, but she is a fighter and the new addition may be a good distraction. Keep your fingers crossed.....I will keep you all posted soon.

| Hope this doesn't come out sounding evil. What will happen to your yorkie if the wife loses her fight against cancer? Who will care for him? If I were closer, I'd take him in a heart beat. Last edited by pancakepat; 04-26-2010 at 08:22 PM. Reason: forgot to add last sentence. |
