My yorkie ran away - YorkieTalk.com Forums

pet · 03-20-2013, 05:32 PM

I was wondering if someone could help me. I just moved to a new house, and my yorkie got out and fear bolted. We are now in the country and I was able to follow his tracks for a while, but lost it. It has now been two days since I last saw him and don't know how far he would go. The house I just moved from is about 20 miles away from here. He has always been an inside dog..used for breeding only and I have only had him for about 1 1/2 years. I adopted him.
I am at my end..nervous, stressed...don't know where to go or where to look for him. There are also fox and coyote in the area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Omg. I'm sure it's cold out there in Canada right now. Unfortunately I don't think yorkies would last long out in the cold/snow/etc. Put up posters in color all over, call vets and shelters, post on craigslist for a lost dog.

BTW what do you mean he was only used for breeding? You mean you rescued him from a breeder?

I'm gonna bump this so more people will see. Have you contacted someone in your old neighborhood for them to be on the lookout. Stranger things have happened. I'm so sorry that this has happened. I will keep you and your pup in my prayers for a happy ending.

Put him on the internet, flyers, call the local pound, talk to the neighbors, local vets, local stores, anyone who will listen. I would probably drive up and down the street calling his name. He has got to be cold and I am concerned he wouldn't survive one night in the open, much less two. I hope he is chipped so if someone does find him, he will be returned. Praying for his safe return. I can't imagine a worse nightmare...

I would put up flyers where you can and let all dog friendly places like vets and stuff know too. Did he have a tag? Is it possible he went back to where you used to live? I will keep him and you in my prayers.

Facebook, craigslist, local newspaper/buyer/seller magazine ads, flyers, door to door, local animal shelters (check daily!). Did he have a collar and/or microchip?

Oh no! I don't know where in Canada you live but if its in Ontario PM me your round about location and if it is near people I know I can get info out on my Facebook. I have family and friends through out the province. Anything can be of little help I guess. I have seen a lot of pets found by people sharing info on Facebook and getting it all out there.

pet · 03-21-2013, 02:03 AM

when i got him, they told me he was used for breeding..not as a family pet. i have been trying to get him used to being just a family dog..he is very timid and won't go to people

Maxwell2405 · 03-21-2013, 02:40 AM

Wow. You must be so worried. Are you getting any help in your search?

I am so sorry to read your post. Hoping he is home in your arms today.

navillusc · 03-21-2013, 04:02 AM

I am so sorry this happened to you. He sounds like a sweet baby that just needed the loving home and enough opportunity to relax and enjoy it that you were giving to him. I do hope you are able to find him and quickly. {{{Hugs}}}

Calypso · 03-21-2013, 04:10 AM

I have it up on my Facebook Hun and some of my friends have shared it already so let's hope someway somehow we can get your baby home safely to you.
