IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING PUPPY PURCHASE SCAMS
Beware of imposters on Facebook or other sites using the United Yorkie Rescue name (or a variation of our name) where puppies are offered for sale. Often the images they post are stolen from the internet and perpetrators will request a down-payment or payment in full with promises to ship the dog, but a dog is never delivered.United Yorkie Rescue goes through an extensive adoption process that requires an application be completed online on our website. We do 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. Please be aware...if any site indicates they are offering a United Yorkie Rescue dog, please check this out on our website. Foster dogs are shown on our "Looking for Love" page, displayed alphabetically by state. A link to the adoption application follows the biographical information. For many of us, pets aren't just animals...they're family. Yet they're often overlooked in traditional estate planning. Planning ahead for your pet's future is an essential act of love, ensuring they're cared for if you're no longer able to do so due to illness, a move into a care facility, or death. Without a clear plan, beloved pets can be left in limbo during an already emotional time. Life changes can happen suddenly. An unexpected hospitalization or transition to assisted living may make it impossible to keep a pet, even with the best intentions. While family members may step in temporarily, the reality is that not everyone is willing or able to take on the responsibility of a dog or cat long-term. Assuming someone in the family will take them can lead to last-minute decisions that aren't in the pets best interest. That's why making arrangements in advance is so important. Naming a caregiver, setting aside funds for food and veterinary care, or pre-arranging placement with a trusted rescue or breed-specific organization provides peace of mind. By planning ahead, you protect your pet from uncertainty and ensure they end up in a safe, loving environment no matter what the future holds. 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.
