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

[ladyjane]

I have been in rescue long enough and seen enough problems for me to feel very comfortable saying that Joli is not going to live well with other pups. I am not one to categorize a pup easily....aggressive pups do not frighten me. I have taken them into my home and they have done well...BUT I draw the line with a pup that latches on to do harm...and does not let go. Not only are the other pups stressed...but so is the aggressive one. We want what is best for Joli and I believe a home without other pups is that.
As for YHR's guidelines...we don't have anything etched in stone. Our goal is to assess the needs of our foster pups and do what we think is best for them. We expose them to as much as we can and evaluate them and then do our best with their interests in mind.

Do you think thay aside from being in a single dog home she's a canidate for antianxiety drugs?

You sound like this is an extreme case and I had Scoobers on prozac for almost a year it help with fear aggression and his separation anxiety.

I'm sure you know only extreme cases require meds but if her behaviir was alarming to you after all your experience it must be shocking.

I really hope someone steps forward quickly for this lil gal, with these issues she needs permant placement in the right home right away.

Maybe this issue isn't from a lack of training and socialization could be something else

She could definitely use a behaviorist but it is not something that Ashley has been able to do.

YHR cannot take her in. I kept her for a week on a trial and it simply is not something I can handle with my pups here. We do not have a home that is willing to risk the lives of their pups and we are not going to take a pup in and keep her in jail.

Yes, she is extreme. And, yes, perhaps someone could foster her successfully, but we cannot provide it and I don't know anyone in this area who could.

It is easy for someone to look and say oh, this can be done and that can be done, but the reality is that rescues are jam packed and overwhelmed and do the best they can. Nothing in life is perfect.

Sadly, her home that she has always known brought another pup in and this is when her problems were noted. All of the things that you have brought up have been discussed with her owner.

I am so sorry this little one hasn't been placed yet. I pray that maybe a retired couple with no other furkids will find it their hearts to take her in and love her.

I may have found Joli a home! It came about more or less randomly. I was bugging my boyfriend and said he should post on his FB, and almost immediately one of his highschool friends messaged him and said that her mom had been thinking about getting another yorkie (she had one years ago). She is home almost all of the time, all of her skin kid are grown and she doesn't have any other dogs. Everything I have heard about her is really great and I hope it works out. My BF talks to his friend fairly often, so if it works out then we will still be able to know how she is doing and maybe visit after she has settled in. She is staying with her tonight and her potential new mom is going to call tomorrow and let us know how everything went. So everyone pray/send good thoughts that Joli is being bonding well. She seemed to like her a lot and didn't freak out when I left, so hopefully all goes well.

Thanks for all the thoughts.

Best wishes to Joli. I hope all goes well for her.

Hope all went well for Joli.

Oh Ashley this sounds so good. I pray that this new home will work out for Joli.

We are keeping all paws and fingers crossed.

[beachdog]

Not trying to throw a spanner in the works here, but this is the part I personally don't understand....

Why would the first dog, who is 2 yrs old, get rehomed? Why wouldn't a home be sought for the newcomer? It seems like it would be easier to place the new addition given the respective temperaments.

Perhaps the following post will help you understand a bit more. The bottom line is that Ashley was not going to just dump her pup like so many that I see....she has stuck it out and done what she thinks is best.
