HEY EAST COAST - Yorkie Raid!!! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yeah, the males are tiny, you can see by their pictures but the females I believe are on the bigger side. I can't understand why you were only approved for a male. I was approved for a female and I have two females and a male. All are spayed and neutered but my understanding is that they check for that any way. Makes no sense that she said ONLY a male. I don't want to stir anything up but I've had a few concerns and I spoke to a few rescues (humane society etc) and was told some stories about the three rescues that are listing these dogs and the stories I've been told also give me some concern. Whether the stories are true or not I can't say but I do wonder why ONLY to the East Coast. Secondly, again I have concern that a rescue would send sick dogs on such a long trip, especially so soon after being spayed or neutered. It just doesn't seem right to me. I'm not saying that they won't arrive, but honestly I have to wonder if this isn't more of a broker then a rescue? Again, not trying to stir trouble or anything but any reputable rescue that you deal with would NEVER allow an ill dog to travel that far without being recuperated and also I don't think any would spay or neuter a sick dog. I do hope that these little girls and guys find good homes and get better quick. Elaine

Yes, you are so right. My husband had his doubts just like you do. He said the same thing. He asked me to make sure it was not a broker. He also thought that putting these babies on a bus for such a long trip would be hard on them after all they have been through. When I inquired about Reggae, she told me he was not included in the "Yorkie Raid" and she blew me off and changed the conversation. She kept trying to tell me that I should consider adopting Bobby.

Yeah, I just don't have a good feeling about it. In the beginning, I think that I wanted another Yorkie so bad that I was overlooking a lot. Another big thing is that she talked about the Ulcers in the eye and that they would be alright and no loss of sight or eyes, however I know from experience and through reading the net that there is no way for sure of knowing that the eye will not be lost. Even though the eye is being treated it can very well go backwards and rupture in which case the eye would have to be removed. about 30 years ago, I took a kitten from the woods when it's mom had been killed by a car. The kitten's eye was ulcerated (yellow - looked very very similliar to atleast one of the dogs) and he did lose his eye. It was actually infected. Looking at one dog (I can't remember the name) I know that that eye is a lot worse then what she's stating. I always believe go with your gut, but it's sometimes hard when those sad eyes are calling to you, but then again that's what a lot count on. Again, I hope sincerely that this is legit and that the pups go to good homes. Elaine
