Jill loves her new mommy

10/2/18 Sweet Jill was adopted today. Jill came to her foster home with flea dermatitis, sores on her skin, and bad teeth. She had infections in her eyes and ears, and was anemic. It took over a month, but finally Jill was all healed. She had her spay and dental and finally her blood count showed she was no longer anemic. Jill was ready to find her forever home. She needed a home where she would get lots of love and attention. She loves to give kisses and be cuddled. She only wanted to be somebody's baby more than anything else in the world. This perfect girl, who never barks, loved walks and care rides, and loves people found her very special mom today. She gave her new mom kisses as soon as she met her and it was just love, love, love. Jill will be the only pup in her mom's world. She has toys all her own, and a soft, warm comfortable doggie bed. Jill will get all the care, love, and attention she always wanted. Jill found her forever home and she couldn't be happier.

I have new home

I love my new family

9/29/18 Biscuit was adopted today. Biscuit has had quite an interesting life - prior being adopted by his surrendering owner, he was living in a car for many months with someone who was unable to care for him. When he was rescued from the car the wonderful lady had been told he was a small dog. Due to her health issues she couldn't pick up or carry a dog more than 8 pounds. She met 6 year old Biscuit and saw he was not a small dog, in fact he was close to 20 pounds and very overweight, but she knew he couldn't live in a car, so she took him in hopes she could find him a great home. That was when United Yorkie Rescue came to her aide. This sweet dog, who is fun loving, loves to swim and even came with his own life jacket, needed the perfect active family where he could lose some weight and live the good life. He did so well in his foster home. His foster mom even realized he is house trained and will bark to go out. He loves people so much, loves to be with them, give them kisses, and be their lap baby. It didn't take long for the right family to come along. His new home has the perfect pool for him to do his laps, he has a fur brother to play with and run around in the fenced backyard to get his much needed exercise, and best of all a stay at home mom to give him love and kisses whenever he needs those kisses and hugs. He will get to sleep on her bed with his new fur brother. They are going to take lots of trips together and just have so much fun. Biscuit will have the time of his life, and we are so happy for him.

Little Mika and her forever mommy and daddy

9/26/18 Mika was adopted today. This sweet little 6 1/2 year old little 5.6-pound baby was adopted today. Mika was being advertised on Craig's list to anyone who would come and get her. A group that pulls dogs at risk rescued her. They called rescue groups in the hope one would take this little dog into their rescue. When United Yorkie Rescue got the emergency call about this sweet, tiny baby we couldn't say no. We were told she would need surgery as quickly as possible, but we didn't think it would be this quick and such an emergency. The vet said if we had waited one more day she would have died from the pyrometra. Mika was hemorrhaging. It is very likely that this poor little girl who was once used as a breeder dog has pyrometra. Pyrometra is an infection in the uterus and is considered a serious and life threatening condition that must be treated quickly and aggressively. So before Mika could even meet her foster family she was spending the day and night at the vet getting ready for her much needed surgery. At last she was well and on her way to her foster home. While at her foster home she recovered from her surgery and even put on a little weight she definitely needed. She became a happy, healthy, sweet girl. Mika was ready for her forever family. Today she went to her forever home. Her new mom and dad took one look at Mika and knew she had to be theirs, it was just meant to be. And sure enough it was meant to be. She has a stay at home mom and a dad who is ready to love her forever. She will get lots of walks and have fun meeting the other pups in the neighborhood. Mika will get so much love and attention and care. Mika has found her forever home and her forever and ever mom and dad. Happy Tails, little Mika.

Here's a wonderful update from Mika's adoptive mom & dad:

Our girl Mika is doing great ! She is such a joy, special. She loves to sleep on a pillow on floor by the bed. Loves, loves, loves her walks ! Very curious to sights and smells.So friendly ! Met some neighbors and their dogs. Eating and pottying good. She loves to eat. Her nose starts twitching when there is food around. Lays in a bed by my feet when I am working. Lets me know if I am not paying enough attention to her by soft barking and bringing me a toy. Not afraid of thunder. Watches tv on the couch with us. Went on a golf cart ride and loved it. She has a new hairstyle. We just love her to pieces!

Gina has a wonderful new family

9/22/18 Gina was adopted today. This gorgeous girl came to us with several other dogs who were rescued from a hoarder/breeder. In all her 8 years Gina never knew love, kindness, or care. She was only there to make beautiful puppies. Gina needed so much. She was full of fleas, her hair was all matted, and she was heartworm positive. After a few weeks Gina became even sicker. It was discovered she had a very horrible infection in her uterus and needed emergency surgery. This was even riskier than usual since she also had heartworms. But surgery had to be done or she would have died. Thank goodness Gina came through it all the surgery and the heartworm treatment with flying colors. It took over 5 months, but finally she was ready to go to her forever family. Today Gina was adopted into the loving arms of her foster mom, dad, and fur sister. They will provide Gina with a wonderful forever home. She will be loved, cherished, and cared for for the rest of her life. Her new mom has her lap and loving arms ready and waiting for Gina. Gina will never want for anything again. Welcome home, Gina.

I found my forever mommy.

9-20-18 Saki was adopted today. Today the sweetest girl you will ever meet found her forever home. She loves everyone; she is so well behaved and smart. Saki is house trained and about the most perfect dog you could ever want. Then her vet discovered she had hypothyroidism and Cushing's Disease. Besides all that Saki only has one eye because of the terrible neglect to her eye by her former owner. Saki knew that it would cost a little more to take care of her and to keep her feeling good for the rest of her life, but Saki was so worth it.

And then a very special person came along who looked past her medical needs and her one eye and saw a beautiful Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix who was so full of love and kisses. She only saw a perfect, sweet, loving little girl who deserved the best that life could give her. Saki went to her forever home today. She will have fur brothers and sisters to play with, even some cats. Saki doesn't care because she likes cats. In fact she loves everyone no matter if they have four feet or two. There isn't a better dog in the world than sweet Saki and we are so happy that she has found her forever home and her forever family.

Gizzy has a family of his own again

9-20-18 Sweet Gizzy was adopted today. Gizzy was so sad when he given up by his first family. He was worried he wouldn't even again find a family of his own. How happy Gizzy was today when he went to his forever home. This is a great home for Gizzy. He will be the center of their world. He will be the pup getting all the love, and all the attention, and all the affection from his new mom and dad and human sister. He has a nice little yard to go out into to catch a nap in the sun. He will have fun walks, play time with the other dogs in the community at the dog park, lots of car trips, and he will even get to go on vacation with his new family. Gizzy found his forever home and a new, wonderful forever family. Happy Tails to little Gizzy. He has a home and a family of his own again.

Belle and her new family and fur brother

9-9-18 Beautiful Belle was adopted today. When you think you have seen it all, a precious and very needy little dog like Belle comes along and breaks your heart all over again. Belle was one day away from euthanasia in the high-kill shelter. No other rescue group stepped up to rescue her, and no one from the public would even consider adopting this precious little girl. Why? Because there were horrendous growths on her ear that had grown so large due to chronic infections that were never cared for. There was severely thickened scar tissue on her outer ear canal. This scar tissue has grown so much that there is oozing pus and dripping blood coming from both ears. The smell from the festering infection was horrific. The pain she must be in has to be excruciating. She was scratching and pawing at her ears all the time to try to make the pain stop. But United Yorkie Rescue knew they had to save this girl and give her the life she deserved. Belle was taken to the vet right away. Her vet said that Belle had the worse case of aural hematoma she had ever seen and surgery must be done right away. Well, Belle had her surgery and after over a month of recovery, this sweet girl was well and ready for her forever home. While in her foster home and finally pain free, 4 year old Belle learned how to play, she learned that people are her friends, and she learned trust. She was an almost perfect little dog. Today Belle went to her forever home. She has a mommy and daddy and one of them will always be home with her. She has a fur brother, and best go all Belle will get to go on walks, lots and lots of walks. Besides food, walks are the most favorite things in the world to Belle. It took time and love and lots of care, but Belle made it and she found her forever home. Her foster mom and dad will miss this sweetheart, but they know that she has truly found her happily ever after and will continue to get the love and care she deserves.

I found my forever home. I am so happy

UPDATE 09/08/2018: Wesley was adopted today. Who would have thought this adorable senior boy at almost 12 years old would find a forever mom to give him the best of his life for the rest of his life? Wesley had a previous owner who was no longer able to care from him in the way she knew he needed and wanted him to have a better life. He came to his foster home a little scared and confused. He just wanted to be loved and give love, and that is what he found today. He has a new mom who will love Wesley forever. He will be the only pup in her life and she promised Wesley she will love and care for him, and keep him forever and ever. There is a wonderful back yard with a fence for those times he just wants to lay out in the sun, but there will also be walks and car rides and lots of play time. Wesley found a home of his own forever and he couldn't be a happier boy.

Here's what his forever mom said after they arrived home and settled in:

Wesley is the sweetest little soul and a very good boy. He was exhausted from the adventures of his adoption day and 3 hour car ride home. Much to my surprise, he settled in last night like he has been in my home forever. Now he will be here forever because this little man has stolen my heart.

SWEET! Have a Happy Life Wesley! There were lots of UYR volunteers involved in finding your Forever Mom for you and we all wish you the very best of life forever and ever!

Hooray! I finally found my forever home

9/7/18 Babloo was adopted today. It took a long time, but finally it happened. After over a year in his foster home, twelve year old Baloo is home for real. He has finally found his true forever home. Baloo will have the best home ever with his mommy and daddy. He has a wonderful fenced yard, a house full of toys and doggie beds, and forever parents who promised will love him for the rest of his life. We are so happy for Baloo. It took a long time, but he is home forever.

Rocky found his Happy Ever After!

8/31/18 Rocky came to us literally at deaths door. We didn't know if he would last the night. Rocky came from a breeder who sold him for $2000 at 6 weeks of age. Six weeks is WAY TOO YOUNG for a Yorkie puppy to leave his mother and litter mates. The breeder instructed his new owner to just feed kibble from the grocery store. When Rocky got sick with regular bouts of severe diarrhea and dehydration the breeder said, just bring him back and take another but Rocky's owners did not trust them and took him to the emergency Vet where he went multiple times spending thousands of dollars reviving him only to have him relapse each time. They loved him a lot but wanted more for his life so they asked UYR for help. Rocky went straight to ICU the day he came into UYR and we were told there was a very good chance he would not survive. However, with fantastic medical care and under the watchful eye of his foster mom who is a registered nurse, Rocky underwent all the expensive tests and care needed for a proper diagnosis and care. Rocky was found to have a chronic intestinal condition called Lymphocytic Plasmacutic Gastroenteritis. This was most likely caused by early maternal separation and could have been avoided but now Rocky will have this the rest of his life and will always be a special needs Yorkie requiring medication, prescription food, close monitoring and access to specialty care. Lucky for Rocky a former UYR adopter saw Rocky's story and decided she loved him inspire of all his medical maladies and chose to adopt this precious, tiny boy anyway. As you can see from his photo it is most definitely a LOVE CONNECTION!

I have a new mommy who loves me

8-29-18 Timmy was adopted today. Timid little Timmy was adopted by a wonderful lady. Timmy has come a long way in his foster home and he was ready to go to his forever home. Timmy had spent most of his life in a puppy mill where he was used to help make little puppies. He was finally rescued in January and was learning about love and trust. Then his new mom got hurt and was unable to care for Timmy. She couldn't take him out or hold him or do anything for him. She knew that Timmy needed more than what she could give him so he could continue to learn how to be a real dog and get the love and care he will continue to need to have the life he was meant to have. He learned so much in his foster home. His new mommy has promised to continue with his lesson and to give him the time he still needs to learn to love and trust her. Timmy will have two big brothers and a stay at home mommy. She promised Timmy he would never be crated again and his life would forever be filled with love and care and sweetness. We are so happy for Timmy.

Miss Zoey has a forever mom and dad

8/11/18 Sweet Miss Zoey is a precious little senior princess. Her former owners sadly had to surrender her due to a change in their life situation. So at 12 years old little Miss Zoey needed a place to spend the rest of her days. Her foster mom said she is the sweetest little girl. She loves to be held and cuddled and sit on her foster mom or dad's lap. Miss Zoey has never met a stranger she didn't like, even though she may greet new people with a little bark just so they know she is in the house, then her tail starts wagging. She loves everyone. All little Miss Zoey needed was her forever family. Today she got that. Her forever mom and dad met her and loved her from the second they picked her up and knew this tiny 3.5 pound baby was for them. She will be their only pup and get so much love. Zoey knows she has found the home and the mom and dad who will love her for as long as she lives.

I found my forever home and family. I am so happy

8-4-18 Freddy was adopted today. Freddy was surrendered to United Yorkie Rescue when his former owners realized they could not give Freddy the time and attention he needed. He needed a home where he could learn doggie manners and get some proper doggie socialization skills. Freddy did well in his foster home, though he still has more to learn about being the best dog he can be. Freddy is such a loving dog and gives kisses and loves to cuddle. He hoped his forever family would give him back lots of cuddles and kisses too. Today that happened. He found a wonderful new family now and they understand that Freddy will continue to need further training and help with his doggie skills. He has a new fur sister whom he loves already. His new mom and dad have pledged to Freddy this will be his very last and final home. They will continue to work with him and always care about him. They have promised to always and forever love him

I found my forever family.

8-1-18 Cosmo was adopted today. Cosmo found the best family ever. He was pretty sad when he was surrendered by his first family. They knew he needed more time then they could give him to work on his doggie manners. Cosmo did great in his foster home and learned a lot. He only needed a forever home of his own. Cosmo now has a stay at home mom and dad and a wonderful fur sister to play with. They have a screened in lanai and a doggie park not far away. They will take great walks several times a day, and there will be lots of indoor fun playing with toys. What a happy life for Cosmo. Happy Tails, sweet boy.

Cosmo came to UYR looking for a little more love and attention. Well, Cosmo hit the jackpot. First with his foster mommy and now with his furever family. As soon as Cosmo arrived at his furever home, he was greeted by his new fur sister who immediately fell in love with Cosmo. Then he was greeted by his human Aunt who gave him lots of hugs. Finally, his human parents. It was love at first sight. Cosmo explored his new home and found the perfect napping place on the back of the sofa. He also discovered his mom and dad's bed is the perfect place to sleep at night. Cosmo could not have found a more perfect furever home. Thank you to his new family for their unconditional love and attention they are giving to Cosmo. Happy Tails, Cosmo.

07/22/18. Happy tails Bridget. Bridget was a girl looking for her "hu-man"! Although Bridget tolerated the women in her life she is extremely partial to men. We were so thankful when this beautiful high spirited little girl found true love. I heard from her adopter yesterday and they are both so happy to have each other.

Live a beautiful life sweet Bridget!
