Working together to save lives... One Yorkie at a time.
Your help is desperately needed! Won't you please give us a hand with our latest rescued Yorkies?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PUPPY PURCHASE SCAMS
We recently learned that one or more individuals have been using the United Yorkie Rescue name (or a variation of our name) and created Facebook pages selling Yorkie puppies. These scammers including Evelyn Marie (last name omitted) and others working with her, have defrauded individuals across the country. She requests a down payment or payment in full and never ships the dog. This individual and her partners are not nor ever have been members of our rescue.United Yorkie Rescue goes through an extensive adoption process that requires an application, personal and vet reference checks and a home visit before any adoption decision is made. We never request a down payment to "reserve" a dog. Only when you are approved and adoption is imminent, will we request you send an adoption fee. We prefer to adopt "locally" and will only adopt out of state in special cases.  Ann joined United Yorkie Rescue in 2016 as a foster member for the Florida team. During her tenure she fostered a remarkable 42 dogs, handling their care needs and helping select forever homes. If we needed a foster for any dog, Ann never said no. She never asked questions - as long as there was a dog that needed a foster home, she was ready, able and willing to do whatever was asked of her to save a little rescue dog. Ann mentored a number of new members on her team and was always patient, helpful and kind. She took the time to listen and teach what she knew. Ann loved her Yorkies and her home had a revolving door...one Yorkie adopted out and another coming in...any dog that needed a loving foster parent and home. Ann always had room in her heart for one more dog. Oh, and yes, she had a great sense of humor and loved to change the color of her hair: purple, pink, magenta. She wore them all well. Ann was a newer member of UYR when she answered the call for helpers to staff our booth at a dog expo in Orlando. She immediately joined in and from then on, Ann showed up at every dog event we had in Florida. Ann had the kindest heart and the sweetest temperament. She will be truly missed by all who knew her and worked with her. Rest in Peace Ann - we are sure there were many dogs in heaven happy to greet you and ready to give you your angel wings......... United Yorkie Rescue is pleased to share that a wonderful organization, Wrapped in Love (WIL), will be providing UYR with adoption blankets, belly bands, diapers, bandanas, and tug toys. Wrapped in Love is a group of artisans who recognize that everyone can do something in the rescue world and this is "their something". Each item is carefully handcrafted with Love and sent directly from the WIL members' homes to the featured rescue(s). If you would like to learn more and join this amazing and supportive group, visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/artisanswithamission and the website, where all the pledging is done, at www.wil4u.com. In under 3 years Wrapped in Love has pledged over 11,000 blankets plus thousands of other items. This mission will continue until all rescue and shelter dogs find loving forever homes! UYR is proud to have been selected as a recipient of their support. Check out our adoptable pups on Looking for Love to find your perfect companion. If you are interested in adopting a dog not located in your state, please note that we do not ship dogs via air cargo. Out of state transport guidelines are explained on our online adoption request form.  UYR could not continue to rescue Yorkies in need without the help of our donors. To date we have rescued: 4474 Yorkies and Yorkie mixes. Our vetting costs to date are: $3,561,820! UYR fully vets all its foster dogs, updating vaccinations, spaying and neutering, addressing much needed dentals which cause serious health issues down the road for any dog. We are also one of the few rescue groups that can take on serious conditions like Liver Shunt, orthopedic injuries and tumor surgery.
