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.

I am so sorry that you are having to face this. I know how very hard it is on you.

Just reading this are there any updates on Joli, was a home found for her?
I'm so sorry you are having to face this Ashley..my heart goes out to you.

No, there are no updates. She has to where a muzzle or be seperated from my other yorkie at all times. She still tries to attack Somi with the muzzle on, and it still scares her so it is still very stressful.
I am about to have to move again, and I was really hoping that I would be able to find her somewhere new to live before then but have had no luck. I really love her, but nobody is happy in out current situation.

Not posting other than to say, please anyone when you have an aggressive dog careful where you rehome and what rescue. Aggressive behavior can be a death sentence even for a Yorkie.

I am soo soo sorry Ashley. I was really hoping a home could be found for her. Linda wasn't able to help? Perhaps another rescue?
My heart would be broken as i'm sure yours is.
Prayers for all involved.

Joli is on our website and we pray all of the time that someone will put in an application for her.
She had one really good bite but then the people backed out.
Honestly, it is very hard to find homes for yorkies in TX...especially special ones like Joli. There are sadly far too many yorkies looking for homes in this state....AND we have people selling them on the roadsides cheap. Disgusting ... because so many of them end up in shelters here. Texas shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with yorkies right now. We had six people email in the past three days to surrender their yorkies. I cannot even begin to tell you how awful it is.

I wish Joli was in CA. My Scoober barely passed the adoption requirements, tbh if the behaviiralist adoprion cordonator wasn't a friend of mine from rescue I'm not sure he would have.

I bit off more than I could chew with him, he's a wonderful neurotic weirdo well behaved rehabilitated dog now but as Ljane has stated finding homes in this catagory is hard and it takes someone willing to put in a lot of effort in specialty.


Is Joli in foster or with the OP?

I'd love to offer to foster her to help.

Is there anyway to have her transported to a Yorkie rescue in another state? I know that Yorkies are not as popular in some areas and she may fair better in another state. In Pennsylvania and New York there are small dog and Yorkie rescues that get Yorkies from puppy mills from out west and retrain them. There is not as much mass production as there seems to be in other areas.

Good idea. We did the same thing here shipping small breed dogs from so cal up here where there is a shortage of them avalible.

Oh my gosh. I can't even imagine what all you see. Arkansas is the same way. You can find a cheap one because of all the byb here. I wish I could take more in. . My son said when I get old he sees me with a house full of yorkies. Lol. I'm ok with that. . Hopefully the right person will come along for Joli.

Wonder if we couldn't find some members willing to help with transport if you are willing to to foster her? I know some have offered in the past.

First of all, Joli really should not be fostered in a home with other pups. She has had issues in her home...and in mine, and she acted up in another when she went there; and honestly, I don't see anyone changing how she reacts to other pups.

I would never be comfortable sending her out of state.....if there was an issue, it would be even harder to get her back to our area.

She needs to be in a home without ANY other pups. This is serious...she really has issues. I have seen others like her and we have placed a couple of them...but only in homes where they will be the only pup. Sometimes it takes longer to find a home like that, but it will eventually happen. There is a home for all of them.

I feel terrible that she is having to live as she is right now BUT she is with familiar people (her family she has known since she was a puppy) and that is imho the best place for her until a perfect furever home is found for her.

Let me add that this is Ashley's call, not mine. I am merely giving my feedback. Joli is not technically a YHR pup...we are simply trying to help her as best we can.

i hope she finds a furr ever home as the only pup soon. i know the understand the stress ashley and i will keep you all in my thoughts especially for her to find a loving home as an only furr baby as soon as possible!!

Praying she finds a home soon. There are people who want only one pup in their home. Hopefully she will be a perfect fit for that someone soon. So glad you are helping Linda.

I'd love to offer which would include the transport, but I have a new skin kid under 5the and I'd be an innappropriate foster for just about any dog atm.

I disagree about agressive dogs being in a home with others, continued forced socialization is what saved my Scoobers HOWEVER MOST in rescue disagree with me on that...

Somewhere out there is the perfect foster or forever home for her if everyone here networks enough that home can be found.

LJ is absoluteltly right about wanting to find a home close to the rescue for the just incase issues.
Its so hard to restrict the pool of adopters but it is necessicary in most cases.
I'm sure of the appropriate forever home came along things could be worked out.

Hope everyone starts networking and passing out the YHR link to get the word out.


LJ what is YHR adoption requirements with kids in the home?
