Yorkie Rescue

He does not like his face and neck groomed i have tried being gentle but to no avail. My main concern are his eyes how do i get the gunk from his face any ideas please.
Dax O why must you be so offensive?
please don’t be so rude or you will not get any friends.

I have owned yorkies, what I found was most accepted by my dogs is a piece of cotton wool which is dipped in plain warm water placed over one eye at a time to soften the eye gunk and then gently wipe, allow the little one to sniff the damp cotton wool if he wants to and talk gently to him as you do this, placing him on a towel on a table may help however he may be happier to sit on your lap whilst you do this, be confident and reward him with a nice treat when he is allowing you to touch his face, I use a comb with rotating teeth so that it does not pull the dogs fur, once your dog is happy to have his face touched you can trim the fur around his face but this should not be done until you know he is not going to move and end up with an injury, yorkies are brilliant dogs I hope he gets his forever home soon

If they are Really bad…Then Yes, Do get them pulled. But If you think The dog Can Live with It and There arn’t too Many cavities I would Just Get Her cavities Filled, and Then Get her a doggy Dentist (They really Do have them) And then She will Be all better!

hey, i am looking for a breeder/rescue of yorkie poos. preferably in NJ or PA. anyone no a place?

On the lawn! Rofl!

i rescued my yorkie from a shelter and when we go to walk and people stare at me he starts to growl and bark and he gets on his hind legs n growls it actually scares me u cant be fooled by his size is this normal behavior because he was abused???

Dogs communicate through body language and barking. Your dog will bark for various reasons, if he wants to go outside, if he thinks you’re playing with him and, unfortunately, if he is wary of strangers. A dog that barks at strangers does so out of fear, and a fearful dog is more likely to bite. When your dog barks at strangers, it’s imperative that you take steps immediately to correct the situation.

In the past month, I have pulled 6 pure-bred Yorkies for the rescue that I work with, since Yorkie Rescue is overloaded.

I have heard that most of the pure-breed rescues are overloaded. I have even found a beautiful GSD at the shelter, but haven't been able to find a rescue that can pull him, and his time is almost up. (I believe they planned to destroy him this weekend, but I got him an extension until Monday.)

Is it just because the economy here in Florida is so bad, or is it everywhere?

The general & purebred rescues in England are straining at the seams with the record number of dogs in their care & have a waiting lists for dogs that need to come into rescue.

While there are genuine cases of financial hardship/health problems the majority fall into;
*realised that small breed dogs like a Yorkie did not come trained. Some people erroneoulsy equate the size of a dog with how much training it will require.
*people who purchased their dog because they were nagged into it.
*on a whim because it was cute.
*thought a dog is a dog, then could not cope with the breeds traits.
*give up the dog rather than economise.

In my breed Dobermann rescue has limited places in its kennels & pays for dogs in the most urgent need to be placed in private kennels. This places a huge burden on their resources & their are still more waiting for a placed.

It is a shame when healthy stable dogs have to be euthanised because supply exceeds demand/financial resouces to keep them in rescue.

I just got a male rescue Yorkie-poo and we do not like his name. any good male names you can think of ?His name now is dribbles
Thank you all. I'm thinking of Gibbs from (NCIS) Also Rowdy.
Thank you all. I'm thinking of Gibbs from (NCIS) The boss!!

Awww. It is always a good idea to re name a rescue pet. They are getting a new life and need a new name so they do not associate their past life with this new one. Especially if the pet had been abused. Listen to your new baby…He will tell you his new name. Trust your intuition. What a sweetheart you are. Have Fun.

I rescued a Yorkie last year & I adore him! We take our dogs with us everywhere we go so they can be a part of everything. The only problem is, he gets car sick. I could care less about messing up my car, but he is always so miserable while traveling. We try to feed him less or to skip a meal until later if it won't be too long, but he still seems to be almost green & his eyes get so watery.

Do they make dog dramamine? Do you know of anything that will help my little guy? I feel so bad for him. He has so much fun being a part of things, it's just the getting there that is the problem

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!

Ginger can help tremendously for car sickness. Ginger snaps, putting a bit of ginger in his water, sort of like a ginger tea for him. Peppermint is helpful, and here's a link that might help you:

Most of the time car sickness is due to stress and not the actual care. There are a lot of home remedies that can be used to treat car sickness. I myself get nauseated in the car. I'm not sure about doggy dramamine, i'd talk to my veterinarian about that.

I am hoping to get a one year old Yorkie, from a rescue next week. While I am very excited, I really do not like her name "Yoda". I would like to re-name her, but will this cause confusion? Is there anything that I should be concerned with?

I was thinking maybe if the name sounded similar, like "Lola" it might help.

Please let me know if you have an opinion or suggestion.

I work with tons of rescues dogs and we rename them all the time.
Not a big deal.
When you feed the dog call her new name then say her name making eye contact with her and give her the food.
Call her new name and give treats.
It should not take long for her to get it.
We take in strays in the rescue program and sometimes we have no clue what their name was so we pick one and they become that.
Also when adopted many people change their names.
Good luck with your new pet.
