It's been awhile since I have done a Petfinder Pet of the Week Spotlight so today in honor of my mom going away for a few days for a spiritual retreat and my friend Leroy we are going to spotlight a Yorkshire Terrier, aka, a Yorkie.
This week we will spotlight Rusty, a male senior Yorkie who is probably a difficult adoption due to his health but this week we are going to believe in miracles. Here is his story.
Rusty is such a wonderful little guy. All he wants is to cuddle up with you and give kisses. Unfortunately Rusty is very afraid of other dogs. He will try to hide from our dogs and when at the vet he gets very worked up . We now know that we can only consider a home without other dogs. Rusty does love children but due to his health he should not be in a home with young children. The vet has advised us that he needs to stay calm and is not permitted outdoors in severe heat or humidity. It has been very challenging to keep him from getting excited. Even though he is sick he tries to run around and play like a pup. The perfect home for Rusty would be with someone home during the day and with an understanding that he will need daily meds for the rest of his life. We have a long way to go with his medical bills and we have several more bills in the near future. 6/1/09 Meet Rusty.....this sweet little guy was surrendered to a kill shelter by his owner. The thought that this sick little guy was left in a crowded shelter to spend his final days is just heart breaking!! Rusty has been diagnosed with a collapsing trachea, enlarged heart, ear infections, eye infection, and nuclear sclerosis just to start. He is also battling kennel cough from the shelter. At this time he is just settling and we are hoping he will have some quality of life left. We are not sure if he will go up for adoption or live out his life with his foster family. Anyone that has experience with these conditions and has a quiet home where Rusty can relax may be considered to adopt him. Right now we are looking to do what is best for him. You may contact Dina at resqnsavealife@aol.com if you think you might be a perfect match for our little guy. PLEASE READ: Adopters will not be considered without completing an application.

After having Leroy with us I am very sad to hear about Rusty's story. I hope he finds a loving home to live out the rest of his days.
Well while my mommy is away I will be staying with Aunty Annie at Uncle Adrian's place. He is away in the UK visiting his dad so I have her all to myself. I love to sleep with models (well I am a dog) and we are going to the beach so it will be a swell weekend ahead for me.
Chow for now!
