Live in Missouri(one of the higher # of puppy mill states,i hear) I tried and tried to adopt a Yorkie, or any pup in this state! I got a chorkie coming that I purchased her(NO MILL-only litter she had, I went and saw!) I even tried to foster! Why is it so hard to adopt? I adopted a terrier mix in the late 70's from a local shelter- Had him for 12+ years! Went back there I filled out 2 applications- in there -emailed 2 and have never heard 1 word! Never even got to talk to anyone when I was there-they could not find my application! I do not have a fenced yard,but live in country, and I do have other animals- Maybe that's it. And really the lady I got from is not a "breeder" and I got this little guy for a good price-probably cheaper than I could of gotten from a shelter here! But Why? We NEED some good rescue groups in Mid Missouri- we have the lots, that need HOMES! iF i WAS CLOSE TO YOU, i'D BE ADOPTING/ FOSTERING OR BOTH! |
Would you consider adopting to northern california? |
beautiful dogs!!! OMG! if i was closer i sure would help!!! |
yes, I would have. If a good thing could of worked out! and I would not want to pay $400 to adopt and $300 to ship- which they usually do not want to ship- so then It would be me flying out and back- so that is some$, too! It would be great if it could be worked out-But I have no money tree in my yard in Mo. Wish I did!LOL I just know there are lots out there- close- to people who want them- and It is really hard to get one!It is kind of sad to spend $300 to ship-that would feed several dogs in shelters or foster homes! yes, 1 has a home, but there ARE SO MANY! It is a big circle And anyone- me included-getting a dog from 1000's of miles away- HOW MANY NEED HOMES BETWEEN missouri and California? That would be a big,big # I don't know what the solution is-spay/nueter-big help, but still will have homeless, lost, ect! I'd take them all if I could-i can't- just ask the cats out my door-someone dumped them here last year-Well, they lounge on the cushioned lawn furniture while I mow, have a little house to go into,their own bowls,ect. the are not strays any more- they are at home!they have a place to sleep,food to eat, and go to the vet once a year-they were just lucky to get "Dumped" on my road! One is the most beautiful white long haired,with light green eye's!she is not real friendly, but she is beautiful! Now how in the world can somone dump a tiny, tiny beautiful white kitten out on a country road? sorry, I went on so |
i live in los angeles and would like to help so just let me know!!!! |
Oh my gosh! I am in love with Bitsy! She looks so much like my little Sunshine. I am in Kern county, but if you ever need a contact here and would like to extend out this way, let me know and I would be thrilled to help in any way. Sonya PS my email is sunnieone@verizon.net if you would like to hang on to it just in case.I would be happy to foster. Whats a couple more when I already have 5? lol... and I am home all day long since I retired |
adorable available pups ... seemingly healthy....I have told a friend out there about you guys .... |
I am the one from Mo-I could help on computer- if you need that! |
If we can locate someone do to a home check, we will adopt to other areas. Check out our website to see the dogs available: http://members.cox.net/ytclarescue. Or...yorkies.petfinder.com.

Debbie, Here is an email I received from Carla w/ your organization. The communication mishap is a big one here. First is my response to her email to me. Let me know what you think. Carla, Forgive me if I misunderstood your email below. I highlighted it in red. I am a very caring and loving person, not self serving as you state below. You do not seem like a very nice person making acquisition's like this w/o even knowing me. I was just trying to help. Denise ----- Original Message ---- From: Carla A. York <carla_a@pacbell.net> To: Denise <denise.norman@sbcglobal.net> Cc: Carla A. York <carla_a@pacbell.net> Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 5:20:21 PM Subject: RE: Yorkie Rescue (S CA) Denise, I don't understand what you are talking about. You ask if you can foster to adopt, but you meant exactly what we don't want....foster till you find the dog that you want??? What we don't need is people that are just self-serving. You could have adopted without ever fostering Denise. All you had to do was get the fence up and that was for adopting or fostering, but YOUR stipulation has talked yourself right out of getting one of our dogs. At the time, fostering was only an invitation, not the only way you could adopt a dog. Good luck to YOU. Hi Denise. Yes you can, provided you are able to foster after your adoption. It takes a lot of our time to train and work with people on what to do and we don't just want people who join just for the sole purpose of fulfilling their own requirement of adoption. So if you can commit for at least a year, yes....but you do have to get your yard enclosed still. Let me know if you want to join or if I can answer any other questions. I am attaching some reading material for you and hopefully it will clear up some things and help you decide. Carla A. York YTNR State Director California www.yorkierescue.com |
YTCA Rescue & YTCLA Rescue Denise & Fellow Yorkie Lovers, Carla York & YTNR are NOT a part of our rescue. They are NOT in any way affiliated with the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America (YTCA) Rescue & the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Los Angeles (YTCLA) Rescue. The official rescues for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America are all listed on their website - www.ytca.org. Scroll down on the home page & you will see the "Rescue" box on the left. Click on it & it will take you to the page listing all of the official Club rescues. YTNR is NEVER used as a rescue by our Clubs. It is a privately run rescue, headquartered in Tennessee. I once was a member of YTNR & left that group for a number of reasons. Our rescue is developing a new website but it isn't up & running yet. The old site at Cox.net is no longer being used. Some of our available dogs can be found at yorkies.petfinder.com. Not all of our available rescues are listed on Petfinder. When we have approved applicants, we match them up with an appropriate dog when it comes into our rescue & has received all it's needed veterinary care. The dogs are fostered in our homes so we learn about their personalities & what type of home is best for them. If you have any questions or would like further information, please let me know. Thanks!

Carla York and her connection Thank you for telling us that you are not connected with Carla York. We had a very bad experience with her as well. My family are BIG DONORS in the whole animal rescue and shelters world. However, we were so frustrated trying to adopt, filling out so many applications, never getting a response and even calling to never get call backs. We all agreed that NONE of our 2009 budget is going to any dog shelter and in fact we have discussed going to a yorkie breeder only because its a complete nightmare dealing with the rescues, who, in my recent experience think they are God in deciding who is 'self serving' or who is capable. We live in a 7,000 square foot house with 4 adults (no one younger than 29). We have one person who is home 99% of the time and we have a very loving giving environment where the animals come first. We just lost our yorkie and thought it would be great to open our home to another one so that there is one less dead dog at the city animal shelter. However, we learned the opposite... they dont care that they are killing 189,000 dogs per year and that these dogs are in cages until they have a home. SAD SAD SAD! I think we need to regulate these rescues. Perhaps Yorkie Club is better? I would hope so, I'll check it out now. Thank you for telling us! A former rescue-supporter no-more! A :mad: |
Do you have a new website yet? |

Yorkshire Terrier Club of Los Angeles Rescue I just finished fostering and adopting with this rescue. Debbie is a fantastic woman who really cares about the babies. I can't say enough about them! |

I have no idea who you have dealt with in rescue, other than the one group you are mentioning; but please let us not lump all rescues into one neat little hate package. That is grossly unfair. There are some rescues that I do not care for, nor do I agree with their policies. I have learned to not take it public for one very good reason....I would like to think that although I think some of them are total jerks, they do save yorkies and that is simply all I care about! I try to keep the whole picture in my mind and yes, it is hard sometimes. If you want to buy from a breeder, that is your choice! Don't say it is the *fault* of rescuers. There is good and bad in everything....plain and simple. Also....please keep in mind that all rescues have procedures that they follow. Reputable ones are very, very careful about where they place their pups for good reason. The goal is to prevent the pups from ever being homeless again. Another thing is that most rescues try to fit the pup to the home and while a person thinks they might be the best home, there might be one that fits better. Yes, sometimes good homes just might be passed over for some reason. Stuff just happens. |

Totally confused???? This thread is from 10/21/2007 and from someone who has not posted in months and has not been on YT since 6/18/2008. The post somehow popped back up 2/28/2008 by someone who posted 4 times. Then it faded away again until 3:30 AM on Christmas Eve by someone who has never posted before and only joined today to argue about rescues. Totally sounds like a vendetta toward the OP. The entire thing is just not adding up or making sense. Maybe Administration should just close this thread? |

Oh please..and I fell for the bs. I need to start paying more attention to dates on these things. |
I am not here to argue I am here to inform We went through a night mare after our attempts to find a rescue. Someone find me a rescue in L.A. that will talk to us without referring us to a long application then nothing in return. I am a HUGE animal lover and rescue supporter so please dont ASSUME I am here to just 'argue about rescues'. Carla York should be put out of the rescue organizations, unless you're standing up for her than i'd like to know whats going on. I signed up today because I just found your site by searching Carla York (I want to know who she is as she has all our information and will not even give us a reason why we were declined NOR her phone number. She is giving every one a bad taste about rescue organizations, OBVIOUSLY. Is this forum just so people can post good things or do you want to hear the truth? This is not to argue, this is that I want to rescue a yorkie but i am being forced to go to breeders as the rescues in LA are funky. can you help me? or do you just want to go on complaining about my complaint? |
Omg Quote:
are you kidding me? a 'vendetta toward OP' (whatever OP means). Maybe we can drop the paranoia a little bit. I am a real person and NO I am not the one who posted LONG TIME AGO! Can you read my post without thinking it has a 'vendetta' in it. WOW |
Quote:
The only thing obvious is that you are angry because you did not get what you wanted and have an axe to grind with whoever this Carla York is. Whoever she is and whatever she does is not a reflection on all rescues...you say it is obvious? That is laughable..sorry. I dont see how you could come up with that one..that is simply your opinion. There are plenty of people out in the big bad world who rescue and plenty who support rescues. Thankfully, not everyone shares your narrow minded viewpoints about *all* rescue organizations and many yorkies are being saved every day! I am not supposed to say anything about your viewpoints unless I help you find a yorkie??? As I said...every group has adoption policies. Most of them are very clear about their policies. If you don't like them, then go to whoever you want to get a yorkie! No one in rescue is against breeders unless they are doing something awful to the pups....your going to a breeder is not a threat to anyone! Case closed! |
Quote:
Case NOW closed with you. Anyone else can help? please message me! |

Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed (1 Viewing) That is where you are posting....in a rescue forum!! :) |
OMG! This is the craziest thing I have ever read! This chick from LA comes on here, after doing a search on line (I guess) about some person that hasn't posted on here for a few years, blasts all rescues, she gets a response she doesn't like, more craziness and then she is now no longer a member! Crazy, Crazy Crazy!!!!!! In the real world when you seek information you do not use ATTACK MODE! WOW! Hang around YT, there is so much to learn and with a little effort I cannot imagine that a rescue would not have eventually found a way into her life if she truly was as capable of was stated. Yes, there are rules and certain steps that much be followed but if you do meet these qualifications, a rescue pup is obtainable as all of us know. In rescueland it is not how much money you are capable of tossing around or how large of a home you live in, it is able the long term care of a pup. Very sad.:( OP =Original poster and if she didn't know what that meant then obviously not very forum savvy which also explains much of this confusion! :confused: |

In the meantime, I think I'll check out the off topic games. Let's see what craziness my YT friends are up to! :p |
Carla York and YTNR are horrible scammers with sick animals This is my frantic email to the Regional director of YTNR after unknowingly adopting a very sick dog from the YTNR: Hi Ms. York wanted to let you know that I adopted Maxon Saturday Feb 4, 2012 and I really hope it works out BUT at this point I'm not sure. I wanted and thought I was purchasing a dog that was potty trained. Max's description stated he was potted trained. His foster mom said he was potty trained. In the 5 days that I have had Max, he has pooped in his kennel twice over night. (he was sonly in 5-6 hours and taken out before put to bed). He CONSTANTLY pee's in the house. I was prompted to write this email to you because in a matter of 15mins, he has managed to pee in the house 4 times. Of course each time he does, I scold him and put him out. He come right back in and pees again. 4 TIMES IN 15 MINUTES!!!!! He pees in the car, he pees everywhere. I took him in for a check up today and was told he is part chichua 4yrs old, has a intestinal infection, a temperature and possible urinary track infection he also needs extensive dental work. Two teeth need extracting right away. None of this was on his profile because If it was, honestly, I would not have taken him. I feel as though I could have possibly been deceived. There were major issues not revealed to me and I did not get what I thought I was purchasing. Now, here's the hard part. I have grown to love him already and it's not his fault that these things were not communicated well. What do you suggest we do???? Your prompt response is greatly appreciated Their response to my email was:Debbie, I think you should return him to our rescue. Where do you live and I will have someone get him. If I don't have anyone close enough, can you possibly help get him to his new foster home? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks. (fyi; YTNR has no refund policy. I would have After receievng this email response, I texted Ms. *** again asking her to please give me a call to discuss this matter. She doesn't respond, so I email her AGAIN with the following message My message to YTNR:As I initially stated, we have fallen in love with Max and would like to keep him if possible. Would the rescue be willing to refund any of the adoption fee to offset some of the medical? It was after this email message that Ms. Carla York calls me yelling and screaming, accusing me of crating Max, obviously she did understand that part of my email and never bothered to ask for clarification or even ask about Max's health. I am VERY disappointed that the Regional Dir was so rude and indifferent concerning my dilemma as a new adoptive parent. She showed no empathy or concern for Max's health. She simply stated "send him back". Isn't the goal of the organization to find loving, forever homes for these little guys? If I was to return him to foster care, wouldn't Max still need the same medical attention? Her negative response did not make sense. She was completely unwilling to work with me on the adoption fees to offset medical expenses. Her only suggestion was to return Max to foster care. She was so aggressive that it was impossible (no matter how hard I tried) to have a reasonable conversation with her. She misread my email, called me accusing me of things she knows nothing about. She stated I said that I crated Max. I have a 4 yr old Bichon and I never crate her, I just recently starting crating her at night , because Max was accustom to sleeping in a crate at night,she and Max go everywhere with me. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in her lack of customer service. As I stated to her. I will be keeping Max, I do not feel it is right to give an animal away just because they are sick. I will love him and do all I can to get him well and provide a loving environment. I have been told by other foster moms that this Rep. encourages them to NOT to be forth coming and she recommends that they with hold important decision making information from potential adoptive families. This practice is not right and thus must change Needless to say I will never adopt again from YTNR again. I advise you NOT to ADOPT FROM THEM EITHER. After spending thousands of dollars, stressful days and sleepless nights I finally learned that Max has EPI. Whish is a pancreas insufficency which my Vet says that YTNR would have had to know that Max was a very sick dog. I plan to share my horrific experience with anyone who will listen and is considering this organization |
I'm sorry that happened to you. However, I feel I must stick up for the little guy (the dog) that is now in your care. While Max may have been potty trained in his foster home, that doesn't mean he will automatically be in your home. Any transition from home to home can throw a dog off. To automatically expect a dog to be fully trained and never ever have a health problem is an unrealistic expectation. Your email makes it sound as though you are fed up with this dog. If he is not the right fit for you, then yes, send him back. When I got my pup, he peed everywhere in doors. I was told by his breeder he was potty trained too. Oh well, that was now my responsibiltity to teach him where to potty. Good luck to you. |
