Subject: [Yorkie-Rescue-USA] Yorkie puppy needs help

just got a call from a rachel corbin, in leesburg, va. her yorkie had 6 puppies 2 weeks ago. one of them is not thriving. it weighs 3 oz. the vet told her it should be fed 12 times a day and night. this woman just had a baby 2 months ago and says she cannot keep up that schedule. she asked what we could do for her . i told her i could drive down to pick up the dog and place it in a foster home here in pa until it could eat on its own. then what, she asked? i said it would be adopted. no no she wanted us to drive it back to va from pa and give it back to her!!! yeah right! maybe someone else is closer and can get the puppy to care for. i am worried it will die. her phone number is 703 508-8546 please let me know if yiou can get it away from her. i made her promise to spay her dog but i know that will never happen...

Call to make a reservation for you and your Yorkie - It's going to be a blast!

I live in VA; but I can't imagine ANYONE putting that much time, effort and emotion into a puppy and giving it back!!!

Thats why I am wondering if someone calls her and talks to her about it instead of just saying look u want out help u get it but you dont get the dog back i think if she was explained how everything works. maybe? Maybe worth a try. It is a little pup that needs the help and its apparent that she's unable to do it. :(

I could definately go pick it up and care for it here in my rescue. But I think asking somebody to do everything for the pup and then return it is not exactly going to get lots of takers. if she would like for someone to take it and care for it without all the strings... please feel free ot contact me:)

I left a message for her to give me a call back. Maybe she'll let the pup be helped if she new the person wasnt out for a free dog with papers. maybe in exchange for helping her out the foster mom gets the puppy w/o papers not sure I'm also waiting to hear from her to get a little more information about the pup and the mom in general for you guys. I will keep you updated. If anyone else calls her and gets her to respond before I do please post it in here and keep up updated on whats going on.

Thanks,
Mel

I spoke with Rachel and offered to help out on her terms. I am a four year volunteer with our local humane society and foster neonatal kittens as needed. I am willing to work out what she is comfortable with. She is going to call me back later after she thinks about what to do. Hopefully all will be well! (as a plus, I live very close to her!)

I don't live too far from Leesburg. Let me know if I can give you a hand with it.

I think you all are awesome to help this little pup out!!!!!
:bravo:

Ditto! :bravo:

Last I heard, someone was going to take the pup to nurse. What happens after that is unknown.

I will be happy to help! Please PM me!

puppy is with me
 

I have this adorable and tiny puppy with me right now. He human mommy and I are hoping for the best for her. We will see how she does with 2 hour round the clock feedings and care. Her human mom is still very involved with her since we live close to each other.
I don't know how much chance this baby has, but will certainly give it my all and hope and pray that she makes it.

I hope this one turns out ok. Please keep us posted on this.
