Yorkies-adults and puppies need a home! I hope I am posting this in the correct place and doing this right. If not please help me out. My husband just called and a friend of his took him to see a neighbor's Yorkie's. He has been trying to breed them but doesn't know what he's doing. He has adults and pups, outside in the Texas heat. He's even been spraying them with yard spray for fleas. He's old and doesn't seem to know any better. He's sick and she has talked him out of 3 puppies and he may give her more of the dogs. His wife wants him to get rid of all of them. There are 14 in all. My husband and I have 2 Yorkie's already which is the legal limit in our area and the lady that's rescuing them can't have any more dogs, but we can't leave these poor babies in this horrible place. I've called all the no kill shelters in the corpus Christ, TX area and they say they are all full. Can anyone help? Does anyone know someone in the Corpus Christi, TX area that does rescues? If not we could help out with transport. I'm not sure what kind of medical care these pups might need but we are not well off. We will do what we can to get these dogs help if someone is willing to give one or more good homes or take them into a rescue. Any help is appreciated. |
Ladyjane posts on here. She is a member of Yorkie Haven Rescue, maybe she can help you. |
Thanks, margaritaville. I'm going to keep checking back and keeping my fingers crossed. I'm calling friends, too. |
I just got some more info on the 3. They are not puppies but older females. One is 10 years and the other 2 are 8 years. They have spent all their lives outside without much human interaction and are not spayed. They have loving personalities but will need attention since they haven't been well socialized. They all weigh less than 10 lbs. I'm trying to get photos. |
Have you contacted the Humane Society in Corpus Christi? They might help with the three that they let go. To be perfectly honest, if these people do not turn all of these pups over to someone, they should be reported to Animal Control. |

We do not have any foster space at this time. I am going to contact someone I know in Corpus to see if she might have ideas. |
Keeping my fingers crossed that this has a happy ending. |
I just hate hearing about things like this happening. :( It makes me so sad for the pups involved. Hoping you can find someone to help out. |
OP....I have not heard back from my friend yet; but I just thought of another group that might be able to help. Chris's Rescue Angels I believe they have members in either Austin or SA. Their website is: Chris' Rescue Angels - Home They have a Contact Us button with their email. |

Ladyjane, That is exactly what we intend to do. We are working to try to get the man to surrender the dogs on his own if possible. He really wants to but is having a hard time deciding. We are in a position where if we push him too hard we could end up having the lady that got the first 3 dogs away from him put out of her home because she is renting from him. We are getting a third person to go over to act as though looking at a puppy who will then take the blame for turning him in if it comes to it. I have spent the last few hours learning how to reduce the size of pics to post them on here so I will post the 3 females picture. They are just precious and in need of a home so badly. I would take all three if I could, but we just can't. I am doing everything I can to find them GOOD homes, though. They deserve lots of lovin. And thank you for your help. I can't tell you how much it means. |
3 Attachment(s) Here are the three little angels pictures. Their names are Reba, Tateanna and Magnolia but I don't know which is which. |

Oh my. What adorable little babies. Praying they find a good home very soon. |
OP: I know you want to place these pups yourself but please think long and hard about what I have advised you to do. These pups are pretty much guaranteed to have multiple issues. Giving people low cost spay coupons is not a great idea imho. They need to go to someone who is going to FULLY vet them. First thing should be a blood panel on each one. I am quite sure they will need dentals and they could probably then be spayed at the same time. You are looking at a few hundred minimum for starters. Anyone who wants them should have a strong history of taking care of pups....and have a vet history. They also should be advised of the cost that are sure to come. These pups will have socialization issues. They also will not be housebroken. Many people take these mill pups thinking they are getting a typical yorkie and then they are disappointed and the poor pups get bounced again. :( Please do what I asked and send out a full description of each of them to YHR and also to Chris's Rescue Angels. Also, get in touch with the Humane Society in Corpus. I am concerned about these poor babies. |

I PM'ed you about all this. I am just waiting for the lady that has them to get back with me with more individual info about the dogs so I can email YHR and Chris. It's after 11:00 now so I'm calling the Humane Society of Corpus Christi. |
I wanted to let anyone who is following this or might be interested in adopting one of these precious little ladies that I am still working on finding these babies a home and getting the other 11 out of the horrid circumstances they are in. Not finding out about any of this until late Friday has not made the process fast. It's frustrating because some people are gone until Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. I'm not giving up and will update if I have new info but may not post much otherwise as it's really getting to me. I will definitely let you all know if anything happens. Thanks to Ladyjane who is a fount of information and strength. |

The OP brought up another good point to me in pm....these pups may even be heartworm positive. :( |
These poor girls... I hope they find homes soon :( |
Praying for these poor babies, it is terrible the life they have endured. |

OOH - Poor little babies. Hope and praying for the best. They deserve it!! |
Do you have more info now? Are they going to release them? |
Looking for an update maybe soon with some good news :) |
This just breaks my heart, I am crying as I am typing....How can anyone do this to these angels....If I were more financially able, I would take them, no questions...I pray that they are able to have a good life once they are rescued. My heart is breaking:( |
I hate reading these type of threads. So sad! God I hope all these babies get away from these people. Hopefully some good news today. |
The OP had told me the other day that she will not stop helping until these pups are saved. She said that she may not be posting a lot...this is very upsetting to her. I have not been able to find any foster space...and have been emailing the OPs friend. I have given her some options of people to contact...hopefully something good is happening. |
