Im lookin for a forever home for my 11 year old Yorkie male.
He likes people but is afraid of my grand kids who have moved in with me.
He is healthy and will go to bathroom outside.
He loves to be walked and looks forward to it each night.
He gets along with cats but is not happy with other dogs.
Please e-mail for further information. He is free and he is a purebred.

I'm in NJ. Is there anyone that can refer a Yorkie Rescue. I have to work the next four days, but would be willing to pick up and help with transport. Anyone?

[MeganS]

I'd love to help with transporting the little guy. Please let me know.

[Patti]

Poor guy. I hope he can get a good home.

I emailed and offered to take this little one. I am in Maryland. If he comes here, help with transport a little further south would be great. I love senior dogs. I would be happy to have him.

I could not imagine rehoming my yorkie at the age of 11 How horrible! I hope he is able to find a home that loves him asap!

[Tae1107]

Oh that would be great if you got him...he looks so sweet the poor little guy...

I understand your sentiments. However, I adopted a 9.5 year old yorkie from a woman who had him from birth. She was single when she got him and had since been married and had 4 kids. He got little attention and, in his senior years, was getting susceptible to being knocked into by kids and trampled. His owner bawled when she dropped him off to me. I think she honestly thought she was doing what was best for him. Nevertheless, a part of me thinks "how could she...??" but now I think it was destined.

Within hours, he was the love of my life. It's been nearly 7 years. He's now 16 and he adores me as I adore him. When she left my house, he stood by the door waiting for her for an hour or so and then I entertained him. And became the center of his attention.

A few years ago, he was very sick and I thought he was going to die. He was at the vets while I was a work. I called her and told her and said that if she wanted to visit him at the vet (because I thought he was going to die), she was welcome. When she showed up, she said he jumped up...and when he realized she wasn't me...his enthusiasm faded. She said it was clear that I was his momma and it was me that he wanted.

He is my best friend I can't imagine my life without him, though I know a time will come soon.

My point is that there can be a very happy ending to these situations, as sad as they may seem.

Thank you for sharing such a heart warming story. Your boy is indeed blessed to have found you. I have several senior yorkies, the oldest just turned 14 and I cannot imagine ever letting them go but I do understand that sometimes that is the only option.

What a beautiful story. I hope this little boy has just as happy of an ending.

What a beautiful story. I am thinking of rescue for my next dog. If I could be like you for some little baby in need, then it would be worth it. I hope the little NJ guy gets a good home.

[Gennies]

[pancakepat]

Come on op. Let's have an update. We worry about these little guys.

That is sad and happy at the same time. I don't think we should judge people who want to re-home their adult Yorkies; sometimes circumstances, like this one, can work out to be the best.

I emailed several times and offered to take in the little one. Never received a response and the listing was ultimately removed. I hope a home was found locally. I love senior dogs....
