I need to find a new home for my 2 yr old Female Yorkie

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Oh goodness. I am so sorry. Poor baby. Brendarash gave you a good suggestion. A phone call would not hurt at all. I would give them a call and see if they can help you. Good luck to you. I know this has been a hard tough decision.

Joli is a very, very sweet pup. She simply does not know she is a dog...that of course is "my" diagnosis. My guess is that because she was sold by the breeder at such a very young age (5 weeks of age), she simply did not learn to be a dog. What she does is not the normal squabble that you see with pups...she really fights to hurt. It took a few days for her to show her stuff...and boy did she show it! I am not one to over react to fighting...I have had many different pups...she is a toughie! Bless her little heart. She does not know better.

We are looking for a home for Joli. If I could, I would foster her; but I cannot....I only was keeping her long enough to evaluate her. I will not rest until we find the perfect home for Joli. She will be happy living life as a princess with NO other dogs. Anyone adopting her must be committed to her and her welfare only for the rest of her life. We have had two previous pups that were like Joli and they both found absolutely wonderful homes!

I hope that all of you will pray for her to find her furever home. I do believe in the power of prayer. I have a lead right now on someone, but I need to speak with them after I check their vet reference on Monday. Ashley knows that we are not giving up on Joli.

God Bless you Ladyjane for what you have tried to do and what you do everyday. I believe Joli will find a great loving home that suits her needs.

As some would say: a crocodoll. But the pups love me...so hey..not all bad, eh?

I do hope we can find her a great home....even people here should keep her in mind. You never know when you might run into someone who might be a great person for her!

[Donnainohio63]

Any rescue that is ever posted here is always with me until I know they have found a home. I mention them to all of my friends. I have told so many people I know about all the rescues and will continue to do so till they all have their furever homes.

Awwww, I don't think you are a crocodoll! The pups love you and you love the pups! You do what is best for them. Who can argue with that? Thank God there are people like you who are willing to go above and beyond to help these little furbutts!!

Are you only wanting to rehome her in your area, or would she be able to go to another state. I can't take her as I have a female yorkie and 2 kids, but I thought about putting it on my fb page.

[Ringo1]

It might actually be easier to rehome your newest dog and allow Jolie to stay - as an only dog.

Jolie has issues that your younger dog does not. It should be easier to rehome the dog with no issues than the dog that does have the issues.

Just a thought if you absolutely have to rehome one of them.

We are constantly walking a fine line with Lucy and Ringo - not giving one more attention, etc or we will have spats as well. Had I brought another male home to Ringo - it never would have worked.

Best of Luck

PS: Just saw LJ's post and looks like you might have a lead on a new owner for Jolie. I guess I should read all the threads prior to posting!

i thought the same as you, I know you don't want to let either go, but it might be easier to find the one without all the issues a new home. it is sad either way.

Like I have said, I didn't make the decision lightly and if I absolutely have to I will rehome Somi instead. But she just went through LP surgery and I wouldn't think of rehoming her until she is completely healed. Also, my roommate has two cats that Joli does not particularily get along with. And I go home to visit my mom as often as I can given it is a 6 hour drive. And with Joli attacking her two maltese it makes the trip less than fun. It puts extreme amounts of stress on me to go visit my family.

I have quite literally maxed out any amount of credit I could aquire to pay for Somi's surgery and have no money to pay for a trainer or meds for Joli. I didn't have money before Somi's surgery and now I don't even have any more credit options either. Joli needs more care than I can give her at this point.

Also, I have always seen myself as a multipet person "when I grow up" and though I would definitely give that thought up for Joli I would not give up having kids which I plan on doing in the next few years. I love her very much and go out of my way a lot for my pets, but I would not decide to not have "real" kids because of an agressive dog. But since I feel like it would not be safe for her to be around kids I could never have kids with her. She needs to go to a home with grown kids or someone who really doesn't want kids.

I really don't know how much longer I can deal with this situation and really wish people would stop trying to make me feel bad for the decision I have made. I did not just randomly wake up one day and decide "I don't want my dog anymore". I have been dealing with this since November and realized we couldn't keep living with the amount of stress it was causing me and danger Somi was always in not to mention the amount of stress and constant adrinaline Joli must have.

Thanks to all the people who have been helping me, but if you are just posting to tell me to do things differently please just don't post.

also, her name is JOLI. It is based on the Korean word for sleepy because when we got her at 5 weeks she slept a lot and my bf is Korean and I wanted to give her a Korean name. it is not Jolie which is french. A common mistake, but is one of those little things that gets irritating.

[ladyjane]

Ashley, I do know how much you love your girls....and I can honestly say that I don't know what I would do if I were in your position. Having met you and after seeing how well you take care of your girls I can say that I am certain you have not considered this without a lot of thought.
Try not to get upset by others' posts...they don't understand.
I spoke with someone tonight who is thinking about Joli....but there are no promises. I believe there is a solution...just hope it comes soon for everyone's sake.

All 3 of our Yorkies came from YorkieRescueMe.com. They do take dogs from other areas. They keep the dogs in foster homes until they find a permanent home for the dog. All of our Yorkies have/had issues: Zoee had food and pollen allergies and she was given so many steriods that she became a type 2 diabetic. She was owned by a VA familiy who did not have the time to give her the proper care and attention she needs. Mama Leeza was a puppy mill mama and she might not ever learn to pee and poop outside having lived in a cage where she did everything for years. Her paws were so not used to grass, decks, patios or sidewalks that she got cysts on them, but she is much better now. Our boy Darby was born with an underdeveloped left eye and eye socket. He has no vision on the left. He came to yorkierescueme.com from a rescue league in TN that got him from a puppy mill, but teh TN league had trouble placing him. Darby was in foster care at yorkierescueme.com for 10 months until we saw him and thought he would like to be with our two girl yorkies. If you can't find a home or a rescue league, try yorkierescueme.com.
All the dogs are kept in loving homes. We met all the foster mothers for our dogs at their homes and they are very perceptive and understanding. They would place your dog in a home where its needs would be well met and they charge an adoption fee to adopters. They have yorkies of their own and gave us a great background on each dog, its needs, and it habits. Their are lots of people for whom one Yorkie is enough. Good luck and I hope everything works out for the best for you and your dogs.

Hi Ashley, I think I have read [part] of the above vet’s text book - my vet loaned it to me after my dogs were getting into fights -

She is a vet, has a master's in public health, and a PhD in animal behavior? I don't remember exactly the specifics but if we are talking about the same person then I do know she has three degrees over a Bachelor's -

I just Googled trying to find her and I don't know if this is the same person but the background appears to be the same: Karen Overall
http://abrionline.org/expert.php?id=21

I don't see where she can be contacted for free but the earlier poster might be able to get that info to you - especially if you could have a referral from a rescue group and an earlier caller -

If you do decide to call her you might want to jot down notes in chronological order so you don't forget any details and accidently leave something out -

I hope everything works out for you and your girls Jil
