Why doesn't anybody want me - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

suzysmitt · 02-22-2007, 03:55 PM

Well I gave it a try, so we'll see what happens. I put you guys as references. What's to be will be, and as you said sometimes they are just ridiculous as to what they want from you.

BabyFidgette · 02-22-2007, 03:58 PM

Wow, she's a cutie. But I don't understand, why does it say in Texas, but the address is:

Puppy Mill Rescue. Inc
Nationwide, NJ
www.puppymillrescue.com

DesertChildAZ · 02-23-2007, 08:13 AM

PMR is based in NJ, I believe, but they foster out their dogs to various states. They have been known to conduct a sort of "PM railroad" in order to transport their rescues out of state to volunteer fosters. If you look at all their available rescues, they're all listed with a state near their name to show where what state they are located in...

Timmy and Ellie · 02-24-2007, 08:26 AM

This is not relevant to the rescue, but are greenies dangerous for dogs????

Rusty's Momma · 02-24-2007, 11:08 AM

Timmy,

I have emailed her as well. She did email me back but it took a couple of days. I have sent another email to her, I expect it will be another couple of days. Maybe I have gotten answers from her that you have asked. Let me know & I can tell you the responses I got.

P.S.>>>>>
I mentioned I found her off of YT and the lady said she isnt sure how I found her on YT, that she wasnt a member. I explained that there are ALOT of YTers that are rescue dog supporters and one of them happend across Dory and posted a link to her page.
Maybe.... she will allow one of the YTers adopt her after hearing that.
Good luck to all that are trying to give her a home.

I wanted to get a puppy and after looking through petfinder I decided I wanted to rescue a baby. There are so many out there that need loving homes.

Wish me luck!

good luck, Dory seems like the perfect pet ... she seems to have a good temperment and surely is pretty ... Maybe the adoption agency DOES need to lighten up ... anyone willing to pay and transport a baby should be indicative of a good person (but maybe I am naive???)
But WE know YTers are good people .... that goes without saying ....

Perhaps it's not that anyone doesn't want her, more than a logistical problem. I live in IL. I've been looking for a Yorkie since before Xmas. There aren't any available in IL. I can not go to Texas for a dog. That is too far!! So, I won't even put an application in for her. Just a thought!

this rescue group works all over the country and does a railroad if the home is well suited for the particular yorkie.

Rusty's Momma · 02-28-2007, 06:52 PM

Well... it has been 4-5 days since my last email to them and no response. I did receive one email response back but I guess only 1 response per person

. I just cant imagine having ppl email you about a specific dog asking about them for adoption and them not responding to the emails. That is so sad.

jrsygal37 · 02-28-2007, 07:59 PM

Just so you guys who were interested in adopting from Puppymill Rescue, one of the requirements before your application can be processed is a $6 donation towards the cause. I posted the info. below. I know that rescues can sometimes seem like a pain in the butt with what they are looking for, but they really are just looking out for the best available home for the dog. I know for a fact that Puppymill Rescue is very reputable. I believe it was 20/20 that did a story on them not too long ago. I personally, try to support them when I'm able by buying raffle tickets. Anyway, I hope those that applied make out well. She's precious. Elaine

Here is what is posted on Puppymillrecue.com

In order to adopt one of these PMR dogs you MUST have a veterinary reference
that can be checked -- it must be listed on the application with phone
number. Without this veterinary reference we cannot process your
application. There are no exceptions.

You must also make a $6 donation to Puppymillrescue to go towards the rescue and health care of the dogs.

You may do this by clicking this link below

to Paypal, or you may fill out your application on line, then mail the $6 donation to us at Puppymillrescue. Inc c/o J McCollum, 74 Abbington Lane, Sewell NJ 08080

Your application will not be processed until we have received your donation.

Everyone has their own opinion of "adorable".

I do hope she finds her forever home soon though!

AngieDoogles · 02-28-2007, 08:37 PM

Well, I think she's adorable. And I would take her in a heartbeat if I thought they'd let me. I'd even drive to Texas to pick her up (from TN), but from everyone's comments it seems as though my chances of getting her would be slim to none. I hope those who responded get answers soon!

kalina82 · 03-01-2007, 04:07 AM

if i lived alone and not with my parents i'd try to adopt from PMR and a bunch of others too. i want to rescue a greyhound.

i just don't think its fair to the dog right now since i started a job that keeps me out late sometimes and i'm away for sometimes 10 hours. Also my parents would totally FLIP out. i'm lucky i have the one right now.

Yes. Very. I know from personal experience with my dog, Tahoe, who suffers from pancreatitis and other digestive problems, I am told resulted from damage because I gave him one of the smallest size greenies a week and it became lodged in him. I was fortunate enough that we were able to save his life. I didn't know they were bad. As soon as I said that he eats "greenies", my vet knew right away what his problem was. He said that it's common knowledge in the vet community that Greenies can kill your dog. It was after we experienced this that I found all sorts of info on the web...many similar cases....

I took this list of referenced webpages off another page:

This website is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC and not for people with light stomachs:

http://improvehomelife.com/greenies.html

It drives me absolutely berzerk that PetSmart and PetCo sell this product and use it as an "impulse" item at all their cash registers. They continue to carry it despite my telling the manager and salespeople what it does to dogs. No concerns for dog's well being.

I've read they've changed their formula, but I don't believe a thing they say because they denied the dangers for YEARS despite countless deaths.

I'll repost this as its own thread in the appropriate forum.
