7-6-16 Barkley came to UYR in bad shape. He had a huge mass on his head, was extremely anemic, infested with hookworms, fleas and ticks. This little fella who loves to "talk" (hence the name Barkley) has since wiggled his stubby little legs into the hearts of UYR members and supporters nation wide. He is now tumor free, completely healthy and his luck didn't stop there. Barkley has found his PERFECT FOREVER HOME with an amazing couple in Nashville TN. Barkley is ensured to have a lifetime of love now and plans to spend the rest of his days talking to his humans and getting constant BELLY RUBS! Happy Tails Barkley! We will MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Cici and new family

7/2/16 Today was such a bittersweet ending to my journey with the cutest little "little" as I called her, my Cici! This little pumpkin walked right into the house and into our hearts. Sadly, when Cici came to UYR a month ago, she had an angry and rare tumor directly attached to her eye. She immediately got into the care of Dr. Warren at the Eye Institute. We scheduled surgery and he removed Cici's right eye. He placed an implant into the socket, sewed her eye shut, and gave this little princess a permanent wink. During the process of me introducing Cici to the world wide web, and during the updates on Cici's progress, I kept getting emails from one lady named Cindy asking how this baby was doing, how did surgery go, how was she feeling, just the loveliest notes of concerns. Finally, I opened up an email from Cindy and she was introducing herself and her hubby and their two precious little Yorkies Daisy Mae and Max and wanted to adopt Cici if I approved. After all our reference checks and home visit, I knew this baby girl was destined to have her happy home. Thank you Brian and Cindy for genuinely loving Cici before I placed her in your arms today!

Lucky and new family

7-1-16 Lucky's foster mom wants to share Lucky's Happy Tails story with everyone, Lucky is one lucky fellow. An amazing family that has been anxiously waiting for Lucky for over a month has adopted him. They had to wait until he was completely healed from his pelvic fracture. Lucky was not really lucky in the beginning, that is until he was rescued by UYR. We named this little boy Lucky because even though a car hit him, he survived. A little 8-pound guy. He was showing the world how strong he was! And ready for a new life after so much suffering.

I was so blessed to have this little guy in my home and I did everything I could to make him happy again! When he came home after his extensive surgery, he couldn't even walk. He had sadness in his eyes and was completely quiet, shy, and scared. But with care and lots of love he recovered quickly and became the happiest puppy dog ever. Lucky cannot be sweeter. He became the best companion you could ever hope for!

Then Lucky found his wonderful forever home. His new mom and dad emailed me right after Lucky became their forever dog thanking me one more time for saving him, saying they were so blessed, and they are definitely the Lucky ones. Lots of toys, special food, 2 comfy beds, and lots of love and attention were waiting for him! He will never be lonely again!

Foster mom says, "I will never ever forget you my little boy! You cannot be more special. I hope you have the best life ever. You will be really missed and will be forever in my heart

Maxi and new mom

6-29-16 Maxi knew it was not his fault that he ended up in the shelter alone. He had to quarantined. He didn't mean to bite the groomer, but she cut his leg so badly and it was bleeding a lot. His family decided they did't want him anymore and bought him to the shelter. The shelter doctor closed up the wound with staples and then they put him all by himself because they said he was a biter. Maxi sat in the shelter for 2 weeks while the staff got to know this sweet boy. They knew he was not a bad boy and changed his status from fear aggression to friendly. Once he was released from quarantine he was taken in by United Yorkie Rescue and spent a happy month with this foster family. Then today the best thing happened. He was adopted by a wonderful forever mommy. She understands that he is not totally potty trained, but he is only 3 years old and he will learn. She also knows he may not be totally trusting of all people because of what happened to him, but she is okay with all that and loves him so much already. Maxi is a wonderful dog. He loves belly rubs and toys. He especially loves people and now he will get attention all the time from his stay at home mommy. Maxi is home to stay. No one will hurt him or desert him again.

Victoria and new family

6-28-16 Victoria has finally found her forever home. This tiny 5 pound little girl found herself alone with a possible broken leg and an injury to her neck. She was rescued by United Yorkie Rescue. She was cared for and her injuries were treated. Victoria did so well in her foster home and when she healed she was adopted by some nice people. Then it happened again and Victoria found herself without a home. It seems her mom and dad were great, but this was a home where little children visited a lot and Victoria didn't like that one bit. She couldn't stay there. It was just not the right home for little Victoria. Back she went to her foster home. But as luck would have it, along came the most perfect family. Just a mom and a dad and Victoria. No kids, no other dogs, no one but the three of them for the rest of her life. Victoria couldn't be happier. She found her home and people to love her and only her. No little kids to bother her or other dogs to take away her attention. Victoria is home at last.

Riley and new family

6-26-16 Riley thought his life would never be good again after his first mom had to give him up because she could no longer care for him. He was so sad but then discovered that life in his foster home was really fun. He got a lot of cuddles and had some new doggie friends to play with. He even got to like the cat in his foster home. He learned so much in his foster home and he was very loved. Life was good for Riley, but he knew he really needed a forever home and then life would be perfect. And as luck would have it the right and perfect family came along. He has a great little sister to play with and even some cats. And Riley does like those cats. He has a nice fenced yard and a grandmother who lives with them and is home to take care of him all day. Riley even gets to go on vacation with the whole family. Can a dog get any luckier? Riley is living the life and loving it too. He has found his final and forever home and he couldn't be any happier.

Poppy and new family

6-23-16 Poppy was adopted today and he was so happy when he met his new mom and dad. He started to give them kisses right away. He loved his new house and was so busy running after toys and bringing them back. When Poppy's former owners could to longer give him the time and attention he needed, his foster parents knew he needed a stay at home mommy and daddy and that is what he got. He will have doggie friends all around over his new neighborhood to play with, and best of all two people who will be there to throw toys for him to fetch and to love and cuddle and kiss him all day long.

Jasmine has been adopted

6-22-16 Jasmine found her forever and ever home. Could a little girl pup be any happier? She has a wonderful mommy, but really it is her forever daddy that she is just crazy about. It was love at first site with daddy and Jasmine the minute they set eyes on each other. When Jasmine found herself alone and without a family, she just didn't know how she would end up. She was so scared that her life would not ever be good again. United Yorkie Rescue took in this sweet, little girl and vowed that she would have the most perfect forever home and they didn't let her down. Jasmine is the happiest pup ever and she knows she has a home now for the rest of her life.

Kathie and Timmy with new family

Katie (and Timmy)

6-19-16 Katie and her brother Timmy came into this world together, lived together until their owner passed away, went to their foster home together, and now the best thing of all, they were adopted together. It was so sad for Katie and Timmy when their owner passed away and no one could take care of them. They stayed in their house alone with only a neighbor who came in a few times a day to feed them. No one walked them, played with them, or gave them much attention. Their social skills were limited because their first mommy was not very mobile, but she did love them and gave them a lot of attention, and they missed her a lot. It was a happy day when they were rescued by United Yorkie Rescue. They went to their new forever home on Father's Day and life for Katie and Timmy is great again. Katie has a stay at home mom and an older fur sister to hang with, but it is her brother Timmy with her that makes her the happiest. Life is a real Happy Tails for Katie and Timmy.

Kristy and new mom

6-15-16. Kristy was adopted! Such happy news. It was so sad when Kristy's owner passed away and Kristy found herself without someone to love her and give her the time and attention she once had. Some relatives tried to keep her but Kristy was not happy being alone for so long and she missed her old mommy so much. When Kristy became a United Yorkie Rescue her life became so much better. She had some other fur friends and a foster mom who had time to give her all the love and attention she was missing. Then the best thing ever happened. A new forever family. A family with a mom and dad who are home all the time. A nice big fenced backyard and three fur sisters to play with and be with all the time. So Happy Tails, Kristy. You will live the rest of your life with love and care and so much fun.

Riley has been adopted

6/13/16 Hooray for Riley who found his forever home with a previous adopter!

Mischa and new dad

6/12/16: Hooray, Mischa found her forever home today. And in addition to a new home, she has a new name, Alice! We had a wonderful applicant who had previously applied for one of our foster pups (adopted just before we received the application). Once we got to know Alice we knew it would be a love connection.

Her new dad is retired and she has a new big sister. Alice can be a bit "bossy" but she and her new sister Haley were great from the start. Alice needed someone to love her right where she is but patient enough to help her learn a few things. Her new dad is just the right one for this girl. We are thrilled for both of them. Live large Alice, we love you.

6-9-16 Nikki found her forever home and it couldn't be more perfect. This sweet girl came to United Yorkie Rescue with an ankle bone that broke away from the shin bone, and to add to that she was also heartworm positive. How anyone could have neglected such a sweet girl is a mystery, but United Yorkie Rescue would not let that continue. Her ankle bone was repaired and the heartworms were treated and then she found her forever home. Nikki will never be neglected again and she will be loved and cared for forever.

Cocoa has a new home

6-8-16 Cocoa, the sweetest dog ever, every bit as sweet as his name, went to his forever home today. When he came to his foster home he was petty sad. His family couldn't keep him any longer and he missed them. He did fine in his foster home, but he really wanted only one person that was all his and who would love only him. Someone he could love and kiss without other dogs getting in his way. And Cocoa got that today. His new mom is so excited and loves him so much already. All the toys are his and all the doggie beds and all the attention are all his. Cocoa doesn't have to share with any other dogs. Even the great big fenced backyard is all for him to run around and play in and to chase lizards and suqirrels to his heart's content. He couldn't be happier. This is truly a happy happy tails for Cocoa.

Pippin and new mom

6/8/16 Pippin has found his forever home! Pippin was an owner surrender at 10 years of age. Pippin was thought to have limited socialization and wouldn't like children, cats and other dogs. His foster mom did some more work with Pippin in his socialization and we learned that he is actually good with all dogs and cats as well. Since he had no intro with others, his desire to nip was just a fear based response.

Pippin's vetting had lapsed so we got him up to date on all vaccinations, did a dental and removed a polyp on his eyelid. He came through like a champ and was eating that night and playing the next day. On May 31st we had an interested adopter for two possible dogs at UYR. She chose Pippin. After all of the wonderful praises that I had received about her, our meet and greet, Pippin now has a new home with two fur brothers Bentley, a doxie and Bailey, a little Yorkie!!! Bentley wasn't too sure if he wanted to share his mommy, but within 15 minutes he was accepted into his heart.

I was so blessed to have this precious little one in my home giving me his love and kisses. How can I explain to anyone how special Pippin's journey was with me? It was a short, wonderful and bittersweet one, that has ended up with Pippin being the lucky one to have found such an amazing forever mommy. When Pippin was posted as a UYR looking for love, it was only 2 days later that Sandra had chosen him to be hers. Weeks later, and after glowing reports and our meet and greet, I knew she was meant for this little man. I want to wish you so many kisses and hugs Pippin as this is what you deserve little buddy. I also want to thank you Sandra for choosing Pippin! I wrote this a few days ago in a post, although I didn't foster fail, my heart did. That's what these babies are all about. Now on to my next.........

6-6-16 This is a little story about Buttercup from her forever mom---

We never thought we'd get another dog because Rocco was so very special. The heartache in the end was unbearable. But I then started thinking about all the love and happiness before that. Why deny us or a dog that? I feel that Rocco brought Buttercup and us together. As soon as I saw Buttercup's picture she spoke to me. I couldn't get her out of my head. I knew we had to meet her. We melted as soon as we did. She seems to love me but she LOVES my husband. :) Rocco gave us such a great life that we felt the best way to honor his memory would be to pay it forward and give Buttercup the great life she deserves. I just don't understand how after nearly 12 years someone can give up their dog. (Of course unless they are really sick or genuinely can't afford them - but not just to be done with them). Our goal is to keep that little girl happy, healthy, and very loved in her retirement! :) I'm sure we'll get love back 100 times over.

Chris just brought her today and she's such a little sweetheart. She has been exploring the house - but never roaming far from us. :) Buttercup is home forever and we couldn't love her more.

Arthur and new mom

5-30-16 On New Year's Eve Arthur was not celebrating. He was at the emergency vet after the United Yorkie Rescue Angels rescued him from the shelter. Arthur had been hit by a car and needed immediate care. He had multiple wounds and a fractured pelvis. This poor little guy would need weeks in a crate while his fracture healed. 2016 didn't start out so great for Arthur, but just a few short months later he could begin to celebrate. His fracture had healed, his foster mom taught him wonderful manners every well-behaved pup needs to know, and best of all Arthur the cuddle bug found his forever home. He has a wonderful new mom and a new fur sister to play with. He will get to run around in his fenced yard, he will go the park and the beach and get so many hugs and so much love there will be no end to the celebrating Arthur will do. Happy New Life, Arthur.

Razie and new family

5-28016 Scared, timid, and shaking Razie arrived at his foster home only two and a half months ago. He was pulled from a hoarding situation where he lived with 70 other dogs. He was taken to a shelter and stayed there for almost a month until United Yorkie Rescue took Razie and his brother into their care. He was so frightened he didn't leave his crate for days. Razie needed to be socialized, potty trained, and completely vetted. He had no idea that people could be kind, loving, and caring. It took some time but with the love and guidance of his wonderful foster parents, Razie became the sweetest dog. He has learned that people can be his friends. Then came the best thing of all. He got his forever home, and what a great home it is. He has a big fenced yard, just perfect for a dog like Razie who loves to run. He has a fur brother and a kitty cat for a sister. His new mom and dad love him so much. They know that they will have to continue to work with Razie on all his socialization skills, but they are ready because they already know he is one great dog who deserves all the kindness and love they can give him. What a wonderful happy tails for Razie who is no longer that shaking, scared little dog. His tail, that doesn't stop wagging, tells the whole story.

Chloe and new family

5-26-16- Not so very long ago Chloe found herself spending hours of her time crated and alone. Her owners were no longer able to care for her and give her the time and attention she needed. She was by herself for hours and hours at a time feeling very lonely and sad. But lucky for Chloe they knew she needed a home with someone there to love her all the time and that is what United Yorkie Rescue found for her. Chloe found her perfect forever family. She now has a mom and dad who are home a lot of the time and two human kids to play with her. Chloe will get so much love and attention that she will never be sad and lonely again.
