I have a Yorkie I rescued; my cousin found her in his yard one Sunday and called me up; they were feeding her Vienna sausage, so I rushed right over.

She was horribly matted, full of burrs and sticks; I brought her home and took a pair of scissors to her immediately. She was scared to death -- and when you reached down to pick her up, she ran to the baseboard and put her face in it and crouched down, like she was scared to death.

I made up my mind right then that I was going to do whatever I could to keep her because I knew she was being abused.

$1800 worth of dental work and $400 worth of shots and ID chips later, she's mine and in the last two years, she's settled down and runs this place!

Oh the poor baby! Doesn't it break your heart what people do to their "pets"?

That takes a lot a patience and persistance -- "dogged" persistance to do what you did for the Yorkie. Kudos!

See this poor dog?

She was so severley abused and beaten by a NO cop couple that she'll never be "right" again.

She's been thrown through glass patio doors, beaten with some sort of short stick or cane

[judging by her reactions to certain objects]

"Scared" into a chain link fence in which she became entangled, nearly severing her leg.

The dog is covered with dozens of other inexplicable scars, the causes of which I can only guess.

She is utterly terrified of men.

Every day of living with her is a challenge and most people would have already had her put down because of her spells of hysterical and irrational behavior.

The dog is, in a word, "broken".

That's why she's with me, now.

Her breeder managed to get her back via the "Underground Ibizan Railroad/Rescue" and she was given to me because she knew I'd love her in spite of herself.

She's a lot better than she was but she's not as happy-go-lucky and silly as my other Ibizans are.

Maybe she never will be but it doesn't matter.

She has a loving, forever home with us, no matter what.

The sad thing is, behavior-wise, she listens much better than her spoiled-rotten and pampered little runt of a sister....:)
