I am having a hard time resisting....

I've wanted a little girl for so long, and I've always wanted a little one that loves being carried around. I really don't "need" another dog and I love the babies that I have, but I keep going back to her picture on Petfinder(Petfinder Adoptable Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Washington, MI | Posh How can someone not love that little face?!?

Has anyone owned a 3 legged yorkie?? Generally, 3 legged dogs seem to get around fairly well. It seems like a lot of them don't even know their leg is missing...but with yorkies being so small...it makes me wonder what kinds of obstacles there would be.

She is beautiful! I don't know that a 3 legged yorkie would have any more problems than a bigger dog. I do think that would make her less desirable for adoption to the general public and that if you take her, she will be a very lucky pup. Good luck with your decision.

OhMyDog she is the cutest little thing ever!! Do you know her age & weight? You better be careful or another YTalker is going to snap her up!

I would snap her up in a heart beat. It wouldn't matter to me if she only had 3 legs. I would however be sure to have a medical fund just in case. But she is so adorable.

Agreed! I've heard they adapt quite well when they lose a limb.
She's a doll!

OMGosh!!!! She is adorable!!!! I wanted to tear up when I saw her picture because all I could think of is that all she wants is for someone to love her. Darn good thing it's too far for me, or I may have to snap her up!

Good luck in whatever you decide to do!

I can't bring myself to click on the link and read her story. I know it's going to make me want to cry...

I remember watching a show where it was about animals with "disabilities". The narrator said the animals don't really realize that there's anything "wrong" with them and it's more of the human's take on them.

I also remember seeing a 3 legged fox at a small petting zoo. I saw him running around with his mates. And you know what? He was the FASTEST among all of them!

I think if you can afford the time/money on adding a new member, I would think this is a sign. She's absolutely adorable.

What a precious face. If you want her....and we all know you do.....go get her and give her enough love from all of us. However, I would jump quick, I bet she will be gone soon. You are a great person for even wanting her when a lot wouldn't. A match made in Heaven!

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I've never seen a 3 legged Yorkie before, but I have seen some small dogs, 10lbs and under with 3 legs. The only thing I've seen is that they aren't as fast as a 4 legged. She is beautiful, and does need a loving home, it would be great if you could provide that. Good luck, and I hope you do give in. Disabilities don't make us any less than anyone else, unless we let it be so, same goes for animals.

[ShowGirlLola]

What a little beauty!!! I don't think being a tripod is a problem for most dogs, especially if the missing limb is a hind one. You should get her!!!! I'd hurry too!
