Yes, YHR does take pups in no matter the age or condition. Take a good look at the pups on the YHR website and I believe you will see that we expend a lot of time and money rescuing yorkies of all ages and many in very bad condition. It does not say that we take every single yorkie in need. Where do you think we would put them? IF we had a spot for this pup, you can well believe I would have let the owner know that.

A. We don't have a foster home in TN.
B. We don't have ANY openings at the present time.
C. We are always in need of foster homes...so if you might be interested, send an email to yorkiehavenrescue@yahoo.com
D. This pup needs to be the only female in a home...finding a foster home without other females is not that simple. Many of us have different sexes. When you have a pup like this, placement is even more difficult.

Thank you Lady Jane for your informative reply. I fully understand your answers to my question and I did not know your rescue did not have fosters in TN. But YTNR does and I am sorry they could not assist here.
I understood that rescues were created by caring pet lovers to take care of babies such as the one in question here. If they cannot, then who does? I fear that the desperate mom of this particular girl may have no option but to surrender her to a city shelter, and we all know what may happen then.
Surely someone in TN can take this baby and love her for her remaining years?
It is a sad situation and I pray it will work out for the poor furbabe.
Thank you for all you do for these little waifs.

Me again! Did you try the Buster Brown rescue in TN?

[dottiesyrky]

Sorry, I now see you did try, but no luck. Hang in there, do not give up on her, someone will take her I am sure.

It is indeed a very sad situation. Some of the rescues simply won't take difficult to place pups because it limits the number of pups they can save. I know...I have 3 very difficult to place foster pups in my home....and at this time I cannot take any more in because of it. Do I regret it? No. I do feel terrible, though, when I see the numbers needing help; but honestly it would not matter because it never, ever ends. It gets worse every single year. I don't think people understand how many there are out there needing help...it is overwhelming and I am only dealing with one breed.

The only thing I can say about this situation is that I do hope the OP is very, very careful about where she puts this little girl. She is at high risk for bad things happening to her. I wish I could do something to help....the fact that she has to be in a home with only males would render my home useless to her. We went though that with another pup recently...only she did not do well with either sex. Her owner finally did find a home for her. Hopefully the OP can hang in there and just keep looking for someone.

It may sound terrible to some of you, but if she were my pup, I would euthanize her myself at my vet before I would leave her at a shelter where they would do it. At least she would not go through that stress..those places are horrible for the pups. Anyone who thinks they don't know what is going on needs to walk through one and see how they beg for you to save them.

I have 3 females so I am out. My dad is living in Nashville so he would have grabbed her for me but if she hates females He goes back and forth from TN to NJ every few weeks.

I hope you can find an arrangement for her.

Do you have any pictures of her? I could share with others to try and network.

I got the hubby to agree not to take her to the dog pound, her skin is clearing up really good, I'm at work and will try to post a pic tonight. I know it will be hard to find the right home for her, but she will not be put down. thank you every one for your repiles andsuggestions.

[dottiesyrky]

I do feel for you rescue angels too! It must be so hard to see all the needy pups and you can do nothing to help them. I agree it may come to the horrible conclusion that the little one has to be PTS, but as you say it would be kinder that the mom is with the baby when it happens - not a cold shelter.
It is a shame that there are not more rescues, such as DOGTOWN that mainly take dogs that have no hope of a regular adoptive home for the reasons you mention.
Let us hope that the crack down on puppy mills that is gaining momentum now (with cities passing laws to stop pets being sold in stores, and thus little outlet for puppy mill dogs) will help in the number of dogs needing rescue.
The hope for the little girl is that she will find a home with no other dogs, only a loving mom to make the rest of her life as good as it can be.

[dottiesyrky]

WTG! That is good to hear that you are keeping trying to find your baby a home. Wishing you all well.

I am so happy to hear this! Hopefully someone perfect will come along for her.

are you still active in the church, perhaps the ladies group can help raise some money for her care, a bake sale, a 50/50 at a church event there should be something that can be done there. does the old lady have any funds or her family where she could chip in at least $100.00 if so this would give you time to get her healthy, Perhaps a girl scout troop that would like to adopt ie sponsor her, you could take her to visit them and they could learn a bit about animal care, the vet might even let them come in to hear about her care, it could be a learning experinec, and it might go towards one of their badges, that's what I would do, I would try to raise some quick cash for her vet care. if need be get some friends and stand outside a pet store with a can,and her photos or buy cheap candy bars and sell them for double or triple what you pay, heck private schools do that all the time which annoys me since you would think those kids come from families of at least some means. Good luck wish i was in TN I would help. Oh how far are you from Spring Hill?

[DBlain]

bummer I just looked it up you are on the other side of Nashville, probably two hours from Sprin Hill, my SIL lives there and is involved with Westie rescue she probably could have helped you with fundraising. Let me know what you think of my ideas.
