Yorkiemom1 · 03-10-2013, 11:30 AM

I just received a call from a very nice lady that was looking for a female Yorkie FOR A CHARITY RAFFLE EVENT!!!!!!!!! Have never had that happen! Can you imagine?? Female Yorkie! $25.00/ticket, Raffle drawing April 30...a person in charge of such a "raffle" could easily rake in 3-5 thousand dollars if this goes thru a church or gets on FB!!!!
I used the opportunity to try to do some educating....she was not interested and wanted to know if I knew anyone that would be interested in helping the charity by donating a Yorkie....I wouldnt even give her the name of people that are ? questionable breeders........

UNBELIEVABLE!! Wonder what kind of charity.you would think if it was for an animal cause that they would immediately know that was a no no...can u imagine some that would pay the $25...

People are so idiotic when it comes to dogs! What if the raffle winner had 2 toddlers and an infant and a fulltime job working!!! Or was a hoarder living in pizza boxes and dirty diapers! Ugh!!!!!!

rubynrosie · 03-10-2013, 11:38 AM

I wasn't even thinking that Jeanie...I was thinking someone who couldn't afford the money for a yorkie's vet care?

GeorgiesMomma · 03-10-2013, 11:39 AM

Judy bless you for trying to educate her. I can't believe anyone could be so ignorant!

Calypso · 03-10-2013, 11:44 AM

Could it have been someone making this story up to get a free puppy for themselves?

Quite possibly......you just never know what lengths some people will go to....

Marhcarter · 03-10-2013, 12:11 PM

Someone who thinks a living creature, especially one as delicate and individualized as a yorkie is appropriate for a raffle???? Amazing

msyorktown · 03-10-2013, 12:32 PM

See what I mean about people?!! Oh brother, like that would actually happen...amazing

MidnightUnicorn · 03-10-2013, 01:09 PM

That's an outrage.

jeane · 03-10-2013, 01:10 PM

How ignorant

Maximo · 03-10-2013, 01:54 PM

Disgusting!

Last year, a YT member found an advertisement for a raffle with a top prize of a Yorkie puppy. YT members wrote to the charity and begged them not to raffle the dog, and they were successful!

Teresa Ford · 03-10-2013, 01:56 PM

Judy I Know what you mean ! There was a big stink when Movie Stars did that. Osborne got the dog. Darn I wish I could find that write up .
Any way all of us on YT would think a Yorkie for a door prize or raffle prize is crazy !

People have to answer some basic questions before adopting a rescue.
I had some one snap at me once, 'Why all the nosey questions ? God this is only a dog, I'm not wanting to adopt another a kid here !' I looked at the snot encrusted toddler and the bare footed baby in soggy diaper chewing a nasty cookie. Her boy friend went out to smoke dragging a sad looking little boy covered in ant bites with him. 'Just Call me when you got a really little one.' she said. When she was out the door, I tossed the application for a rescue in the trash. JUST A DOG , OMG No way was she getting one of ours !

Oh, Teresa, I got the shivers reading that. Poor little kids and poor little tiny dog that does wind up there. Well, if she has a lot of money she can go to that Texas Teacups website and the others like it and find tiny tinies no bigger than a shoe! Or, if she can't afford the dog right then, she'll just have another baby herself!
