I just want you to know that Rambo need to be with either stay home mom or daddy(who can be with him most of the times)
Person who works 9-5 or student who has to leave him at home by himself more than couple hrs is not good candidate for him.
Please understand that that's what's best for Rambo.

Thank you~

I just want to tell you I think you are so wonderful to try and find the right home for him. Every dog deserves a loving stable family, who will care for it properly. I'm so disappointed when breeders don't really investigate the families they will be placing their dogs with, they are responsible for this life, and should take the job very seriously. So many people who have dogs, I wouldn't even place a houseplant with!

Thank you and I agree with you, however some people get offended when I ask where they live. Anyway, Rambo had great play time at the central park with my boys this morning. They kep barking at me to run with them, so ran like 5time around small run.
They were like my personal trainer!
Rambo met some potential parents at the park and going to meet two families today, so we'll see how it goes. So far, Rambo really had good chemistry with the lady we met at the park, and she has bichon boy who had so much fun with rambo. Rambo started to come around and show his real personality which is sooooo playful and loveable!!!!!

Rambo was so cute & such a sweetie. My sister would NOT stop talking about him.
But if you feel like we're not the best family for him that's fine, its what's best for him ;-) we'll just keep looking. I actually forgot to tell you that sometimes the ASPCA gives out vouchers for a free neutering. That's how my cat got neutered at the vets office on 91st. But that was like YEARS ago so idk if they still give them out.....but you can check.

awww...thank you!
sorry, we've been all over the places and just didn't have time to call you
and thank you for understanding me taking enough time to find rambo the right home. We just came back from vet's office and he agrees that rambo needs to be with family who can stay with him most of the times. He's anxiety issue need to be treated with lots of time spend with him bonding & playing. He starts to shake if you are out of his sight, so it requires much time to be with him to insure that he is not left alone.
I believe that aspca has the truck doing neutering and spaying, but these services are free to limited areas or people? - I asked the lady on aspca bus, but I'm not 100% sure.

Umm I know the bus definately comes to the ASPCA on 110th. My mom says its on 125th too (not sure exactly where) & when I used to work on 92nd I seen the bus at the 91st ASPCA. I know they do check ups....but I didn't know they did neuterings. Idk what days they come around though. When they come around I think you fill out some papers & wait. That's what I see people doing.

Rambo met with two more families today and unfortunatly, they both had little children under 10 and they were looking for puppy for their kids.
I mean, I think it's ok to get children older puppy (over 6mon) which is med to big size breed,but it's not such a good idea to get children small breed dog like yorkie. One of the mom even told me that she was looking for TEACUP for her 8yrs old daughter!!! Girl squeezed rambo so hard he yelped,and mom didn't seem to be bothered by it at all! I told her that she should wait till her daughter gets older or get larger breed dog that is older(about a year). She got upset, and said "I'm sorry,but I don't think you have right to tell us what kind of dog we should get!" and said that she always wanted "purse dog!" I don't understand how some people think that dogs are some kind of property or thing?!

Most people don't know squat about caring for a dog. Especially small ones. I put my dogs up when ever my nieces and nephew come over. Ages 3 to 11 yrs old. I am glad you told her. Hopefully she'll get some sense knocked into her before they get a puppy.

Most people haven't a clue. They are looking for a new toy. I wanted a yorkie for so many years but my wise vet advised me to wait until my 2 legged kids were grown due to the yorkie size. Since my kids are now grown I have my two little four legged kids to care for. I'm glad you are being so selective.

My son was 14 when we got Lucy. But he is an only child and very mature for his age. Lucy's Breeder said she could tell that he was kind and gentle with animals (which he is). And she met him like three times. He does the roughhousing mostly with the Westie who loooves it; and less with Lucy because she is so tiny. He won't even let Lucy sleep in his bed because he flops over so much and is afraid he would hurt her.

So I think Yorkies can be ok with older children but agree - less so with younger children. All the kids at the park want to pet Lucy, which she loves, but I never allow them to pick her up.

Good Luck!

Hi, everyone!
Rambo has been busy getting use to being with us, and he's doing great!
He's more active, not so much scared of sound and I can go outside without him barking! I changed his diet from cesear's to primal raw which I feed my babies and he eats much better now! He's been going to the central park doggy run every morning and made many friends.
He's most likely to be rehomed with this lovely lady(with bichon) we've been meeting at the park. Rambo will have a sleep over at her house tomorrow and we'll see how he does. Hope he'll have alot of fun with her and her bichon boy.

how did the sleepover go?? i have a dear friend you visits the dog park in central park. She just lost her 5 yr old yorkie in the spring. she has a maltese and dashound too. she is just not over Gus yet and would not even consider taking on another yorkie. Gus got suddenly ill at the groomers and by the time they got him to the vet he passed. he was only 7.
good luck with his new home

Wow! I wish everyone felt like the OP does about not just finding *a* home for a pup, but finding the *right* home.
Kudos to you Esther ... Rambo will benefit greatly from your love and devotion.
