| Rescues Needed in Miami (Dade County) There are 5 senior yorkies in the Miami Dade animal services. I can't imagine how someone could give up their companion after having them so long. Lets help these guys. I am willing to foster one! Gizmo and Linda are especially pulling at my heart strings. Come on guys, I know we can save at least one of these poor babies!

| They ALWAYS have yorkies but it is not easy to get them out of there. They do work with some rescues though...You might want to contact them and they can tell you who they currently are working with!

| I would like to hear what the result is. A few years ago I tried to get involved, but not having foster homes in FL was an issue. They did have a group that transported them out of FL....some Railway/Railroad sounding group. The one national group I contacted about this shelter told me they would not pull from there because of the problems with diseases in the shelter. (I never found out if that was valid about the shelter). Over the years, I have seen a ridiculous amount of yorkies posted in that shelter. Bothers me, but difficult not having people in southern FL.

| Called Shelter - Left A Voice Mail I called and was transferred - I left a message for a gentleman to call me back - I had a break at work but told him I would be busy for a few more hours then I would call him back - I have relatives in South FL - West Palm Beach area that might be able to help us pull - they are also very close with their dog sitter who is almost part of their family and he might have good contacts that would be useful - I'm hoping to call back around 2 and will post another update - |

| I Have A Contact Number For Someone Who Pulls From Miami-Dade Cliff Notes: a good friend of mine told me a story about pulling a dog from Miami - I contacted her this afternoon for clarification and she uses a 3rd party to pull - she said there was too much trouble [BS] to pull directly and we live 4 hours north of Miami and transport can be arranged to a point closer to us - If the animal is not spayed/neutered the person who pulls has to sign a waiver stating they will get the animal serialized w/in x number of days - My friend was very reluctant to give me her contact person b/c the people who pull have been stuck w/animals [mainly] b/c rescues have backed out at the last minute after the animal has been pulled and now the people who have just pulled the animal are stuck with finding a foster home or a permanent home - I told her I was interested in fostering Brock and I gave her his ID number - She gave me the contact number and I just texted the person - I hope to speak w/her this weekend and will let you know - I will ask about diseases from Miami-Dade - Are there any other questions any of you would like me to ask? Will keep you updated - |

| Pulling From Miami-Dade I talked to my friend's contact and there will not be an issue to pull from Miami-Dade and I can get the dogs here to my area w/in a few days - I am going to check on two yorkies Brock and Max - neither are listed on the website but I have their numbers and both can be tracked - If you want to foster Linda or Gismo - let me know and we need to have a plan on how to get the dog(s) to Texas - I was told when we have the dog we want she can put a hold on the dog in 5 minutes - she also lives in the next town from me so picking up a dog will be very easy - Let me know - I can foster here at my house while we wait on a transport to TX - |

| you guys rock! I am very interested in Linda and Gizmo, I'd love to be able to save them both, I will get looking into what I can do. I did have a dog rescued from Lancaster that I just had the puller put on a plane for me, it was a little pricey but knowing she is alive is worth it. I know we can help these guys- maybe they have improved things over there, you never know.

| Do You Want To Put A Hold On Linda And Gizmo? Let me know - I think we can put a hold on the animals anytime [as in even 1 AM in the morning] - I have a friend who flies for Continental / United - even if they fly with a flight attendant my friend still thinks it is $125 per dog or cat - Let me see if we can get any info from the rescuers in South FL - they might be able to help with contacts for transport - Just for info - where is your nearest airport? Continental / United has a hub in Houston - |

| I am near the DFW international airport. I didn't know they could fly with the flight attendant, that's kinda cool. I could do 1 at that price but not both

| Transport From FL to TX I don't think getting from FL to TX will be a problem - I think everything will work out fine - My contact was delivering a dog tonight then she is going to a adoption event tomorrow - I should hear from her sometime tomorrow or at the latest Sunday - I sent her info on Brock to find out what happened to him - Miami-Dade is a SUPER HIGH kill facility - my friend who monitors their site told me M-D went from 309 dogs to 140 dogs in one day - that is how many are put down - last week they were only accepting puppies - too many dogs - Let me know if you want to rescue both Linda and Gizmo - she said it only takes 5 min to put a hold on a dog - |

| I live in Miami. I live very south, almost to Homestead. I can not have another dog now (sigh---I want another but space, vet bills for my older dogs now and just life will not permit) but maybe I can help. I could foster for a few days... I am not sure if I could even get to the shelter to pull because I work and do not drive at night. I could take care of the pups for a few days. I am just sick looking at the pictures... and know MDC is high kill. There was an orandance passed that stopped the killing but I guess it was overturned due to funding. I am so very sad
