To date we've spent $0 on Cooper's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $0 in donations.

Cooper

Meet Cooper a 5 yr old 16 lb boy. Cooper is being fostered near Palm Coast, FL.

Initial Bio:

12/8/25

Meet Cooper, a mix of a Shi Tzu and Bichon commonly known as a Teddy Bear. He is a very sweet little boy that gets along well with other pups his size. He seems to get along with children and will gladly let them pet him. We don't know if he has ever been around children. He has not been exposed to larger dogs so we cannot say how he would do with a larger dog in the household. Unfortunately Cooper has been bounced around a bit since his owner passed away recently and an older adult took him in but then discovered that she was unable to care for him because of her own health issues and his being a young dog so she felt it best to let United Yorkie Rescue find Cooper the pawfect family. He currently weighs 16lbs but needs to shed a couple pounds to be at his ideal weight around 12lbs. He is current on all vaccines and will have a dental in a couple of days then will be ready to find his furever home.

Enzo

Enzo is a 10-year-old Yorkie boy who weighs 21 lbs and is being fostered near Spring Hill, FL.

Bio Update 12/10/25

Hi it's Enzo here. Well, I got neutered yesterday and I also had a dental. It was quite an ordeal, I lost several TOOFIES but now I am home resting. In a few days I will be ready for my forever home. You might notice I have been groomed and am looking exceptionally handsome, huh! I do confess I am a little chunky at 20 pounds, but Im working on that! Full disclosure; I will bark when I need to go potty or if I'm hungry but thats just to get your attention. I do have some early cataracts beginning, but youd never know it because I get around my environment just fine. I am a good boy when walking on a leash with my friend, Ozzie. I like other doggies, but Im not sure about cats. Are you looking for some companionship? Id sure love it if Santa would grant my Christmas wish with my very own forever home and my very own mommy or daddy. Maybe if I put cookies out EVERY NIGHT Santa will know I should be on the EXTRA NICE list. Enzo out!

Initial Bio 11/29/25

Hi everybody. My name is Enzo a d I am about 10 years old. I am 21 pounds and trying to lose 5 pounds. Yes, I'm a big boy.

I will potty outside or on pee pads in the house. I get to see the doctor on Tuesday and the groomer on Thursday. I have all my vaccinations and a chip, but I need to be neutered and have a dental exam. I like being close to foster mom and walking outside. I will let you know about my busy week, after it's over. Bye for now.

Hey Bella here wanted to send an update on life here at Foster Moms house

I had my birthday and now Im 11.5 yrs old, and about 7lbs now as fosters were feeding me such good food and I gained some, Oh wel!!. Ive been to the dogtor and had my spay done so no more puppies for me thank goodness, got my necessary vacs and scheduled for 1 little booster this week

Good news my hair is finally coming back in as they had to shave me down when I first came into rescue cause I was neglected in my younger years I think. I get along with the other doggies here but really not interested in playing with them, Id much rather be running around our fenced back yard hunting for those little critters called lizard's, and hanging out on the couch with foster Mom & Dad

If interested in me just fill out the application, till then lovin life in Palm Coast, FL

Initial Bio - 8/9/25:

Hello UYR friends and family!!! Meet Bella, a precious 5lb, 10 year old little girl looking for her perfect forever home.

Bella came to UYR about a week ago surrendered from a life of breeding. Although she was a little producer, its evident that she was cared for and loved. She came with no teeth but has no problem eating, and already has that little oh so cute tiny tongue hanging out just a little that just melts your heart. She is scheduled for her first vet visit in about a week and will have to be spayed and get all her vacinations done. We already know that she is house trained and loves to watch and chase the lizards around. She knows a few commands such as come and stay. She loves to run in the fenced in yard but comes right away when called. She gets along great with all the other doggies in the house and loves to sit and snuggle by foster Mom & Dads side and just watch TV with us. She sleeps like a little angel in her fluffy dog bed all night. She has plenty of love to give and is excited to start her journey in her new forever home. If you are interested in adopting her, please fill out an application using the link under her bio on the UYR website. Till then Bella will be hanging out in Palm Coast, FL. and please stay tuned for updates!!

Jacque

Meet Jacque a 10 yr old 6 lb boy. Jacque is being fostered near Palm Coast, FL.

Initial Bio

8/31/2025:

A big hello from little Jacque! Hey everybody. I am new to the group as an owner surrender due to my former owner experiencing some changes in life where it was determined that she was no longer able to care for me. I am a 10 year old 7lb. old little boy with the energy of a young dog. I am a sweet love bug. I do get along with other dogs my approximate size. Bigger dogs might hurt me accidently as I am pretty little. I am on the quiet side unless I am playing with my favorite squeak toy. I can play with my squeak toy for hours if you let me! Sometimes my foster mommy has to take my squeak toy away and let me rest because I won't stop playing all day! I am good at walking on a leash and I would love to go on outings with you. I am small enough, quiet and well behaved that I can go pretty much anywhere dogs are allowed. I would do OK in a home that has older children but not young children due to my small fragile size. Stay tuned for updates as I am the new boy here!

To date we've spent $576.78 on Jacque's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $340.61 in donations.

Lexi

Lexi is a 3-year-old Yorkie Mix who weighs 15lbs and is being fostered near Palm Coast FL.

Update 8/11/25:

Hi, Lexi here! Just checking in. What have y’all been up to this summer? I have mostly been hanging in the house or running and playing in the back yard or going on car rides. Foster mommy says its just to hot outside and if I go for a walk which I love, I might burn the bottoms of my paws. I can be a bit hard to walk with as I get very excited when I see another doggie or a bicyle. Foster mommy has been working with me to get me to slow down. I am a spunky 3 year old girly with lost of energy. I definitely need a home with a fenced in backyard where I can run off some of my energy. I do love the outdoors and I love chasing those things with a long tail. I think they’re called lizzies. I also love car rides. I just get in my own car seat and go to sleep. I do like being with my person. I don’t like being left behind and if there is a big rain storm, I am terrified of thunder. I get along with little dogs (6-7lbs) but I don’t like other dogs that are around my size or larger. It would be best if I am the only princess in the house. Oh! And about your bed, well its my bed too! That’s all for now. Every body have a good rest of your summer. Lexi is being fostered near Palm Coast and can only be adopted within an 80 mile range of her current home.

Update Bio 7/6/25

LEXI: Just look at me! Am I cute or what? I am a 15lb Morkie (Maltese Yorkie mix) I am three years young. I like to run and play in a fenced in backyard. I also like walks but I am fearful of big dogs and bicycles. I am very good when riding in the car. I just get in my seat and go to sleep. But I do like to be with my person so outings are my absolute favorite. I dont get along with dogs my size or big dogs but I am OK with little dogs. I am just very afraid of bigger dogs. I was abused when I was about 5 months old so I have to learn to trust people. I am energetic and I love to run and especially I love to chase lizards. I need a home with a completely fenced in back yard so I can run around. No children please. Im a little high strung for small kids. I have had a couple homes in my short life so I am looking forward to finding my furever home and family.

Update 4/5/25: Hello everybody, its me Lexi with an update as what I have been doing lately. Well, I am still chasing those lizards in the backyard. There are so many more to chase now that its warm outside. I just love to be outside in my big backyard. Its so much fun. My foster mommy says I have come such a long way and that I am such a good little girlie. You remember that I was abused as a puppy and I have to learn to trust in my person. Well, I have learned to trust everyone in my foster home and I love them all! I sleep in bed with my foster mommy. I like to

snuggle up against her. She doesnt particularly like it but I do and she lets me get my way! When morning comes, I wake her up with a big kiss and gently put my paw on her face to make sure she gets up because I am hungry and I want to eat and go outside to play. I get along very well with the other little doggies in the home. Dont know about kitties as I havent met one yet. I have learned that a persons touch is not going to hurt me but is because they love me.

I am completely housebroken. Love playtime and a big back yard to run and play in. I also like to take walks and go for car rides. I just snuggle down in my car seat and enjoy the ride. Oh! Just so you know, Im really afraid of thunder. If there is a storm I want to be held and cuddled. I can get a little excited sometimes so maybe a home with no young kids is best for me. If you feel you have the pawfect home for me please fill out an adoption application or reach out through my foster mommys eMail and she will answer any questions you may have. Got to go! The lizzards are calling me to play a game of catch me if you can.

Update 3/7/25: Meet Lexi a 3 year old 15lb Morkie (Maltese Yorkie). Lexi is a very sweet little girlie that has a past of being abused as a puppy. Due to her previous abuse she has become very guarded around newcomers. For this reason, she needs an owner that has lots of patience and will give Lexi all the time she needs to settle into a new home. She is a very active young dog and for this reason requires a fenced backyard. Also, Lexi must be the only dog in the home, with no children living in the household and someone that is home most all day to give Lexi allot of time, affection and attention. Lexi has never had a permanent home as she was shuffled from relative to relative due to her previous owner traveling for work so much therefor, she is in need of a place that she can call her home. She is in the process of being leashed trained but still gets very excited when she sees another dog. Lexi loves to run and play in the backyard chasing lizards. She especially loves a game of Tug O War. She is a very sweet girl but will need time and patience to learn to trust her person due to her past abuse. Once she knows she can trust her person or family, you are her world. She also wants to snuggle and sleep up against you to make sure you are safe all night long. Condo living would not be an option for sweet Lexi as she is very protective of herself and her family and will bark if she hears something she feels signals danger.

1/23/25

Lexi is back! She was surrendered by her recent adopter because she wasnt getting along with the other dog in the home. It may be that Lex needs to be the only little pampered princess in the home. She a 3 year old ball of energy that loves to play. Lexi has has a few homes in her short life. She was removed from her first home at just 5 mos old as she was being abused as a small puppy. She was then adopted by a wonderful lady that eventually surrendered due to her feeling that she didnt have the time to commit to Lexi as she is a young energetic dog. Due to this, she has never had a stable place to live for very long and is so deserving of a home to call her forever home. Lexi loves to run and play in a fenced backyard chasing squirrels and lizards. Her ideal home would have a backyard for her to run and exercise in to work off some of her energy. A stay at home person would be ideal as she is young and needs frequent outdoor time. She is a great watch dog and is very loving and protective of her foster family. If you feel your home would be a fit for Lexi please fill out the adoption application to be considered.

01/06/2025

Lexi is a 3 year old 15lb Morkie owner surrender due to her past owner (out of feelings of love for what is best for Lexi) and not having enough time to give to this very active little girlie. According to Lexi's previous owner, she suffered from abuse as as a small puppy by her first owner and was removed from the home but shows no signs of even remembering the incidents and completely trusts and loves everyone she meets. This will be Lexi's third home since her birth and it MUST be her last and FOREVER home! She deserves to have a stable home with nothing but time, attention and lots of love. Since Lexi has been in foster care we have gotten to know Lexi's personality a bit over the past couple months. She loves attention, playtime and cuddles. She is absolutely a little sweetie. she loves to cuddle in bed at your feet where she feels she is protecting you. She does get along with other dogs in the home but can be a bit much for a much smaller dog as she is very active and wants to play hard sometimes and can be intimidating to very small dogs. Her prefered home would have a dog her approximate size and age that loves to play as much as Lexi does. Lexi has discovered lizards and loves to chase them in her outdoor time. She also loves a good game of Tug O' War! A fenced backyard would be awesome to run and play and wear out some of her activeness but is not a deal breaker. She just loves outdoor time. Lexi is also very much a great watch dog and spends her time in the window making sure no one gets near her home or her foster family that doesn't belong there. She gives off a good loud bark if she feels or sees someone getting to close to her backyard. Lexi is housebroken but needs help with leash training as she pulls when walking on a leash. This is an easy correction with a little time and just learning to walk by her person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. She will have her dental prior to her adoption. If you feel your home would be a great fit for this amazing little girlie please fill out the adoption application to be considered.

THANK YOU TO TYSON TOO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta

Update 12/06/25

Tyson has come a long way since his arrival at the shelter. He recently had his dental which is making him feel oh so much better. And he kept about 20 of his teeth! Foster mom says Tyson is a very, very sweet boy - he eats well, sleeps well, walks nicely on the leash and, by the way, he LOVES his walks! Tyson would do well with a fenced in back yard as he likes to explore, wander and sniff and enjoys the outdoors. He gets along well with the resident dog although, at his age, he isn't one to play a lot. He has a bit of a cataract in his eyes, so he walks down stairs very carefully, but does just fine.

Tyson has to be on a prescription diet and, according to his vet, he could live a pretty long life if he is cared for and remains on his kidney diet. Tyson is UTD on all his shots, blood work and dental and will come to you fully vetted and more than happy to be your furever little guy!.

He loves to be near his person and would be a wonderful companion dog. If this sounds like just what you are needing, please consider giving this sweet little man a place in your heart and home for the rest of his time here. He promises to love you with all his heart.

For more information, contact my foster parents at: dunedinrescuemom@yahoo.com.

Update: 11/04/25

Tyson has enjoyed a very happy and loving journey in the short time he was rescued from the shelter after his Mommy passed away and, sadly, no one wanted him. It's hard to imagine that someone wouldn't want this sweet and darling little man. He loves to be near his human, is very affectionate, gets along well with foster mom's resident senior dog, eats well, sleeps well and is housebroken. He does have a little incontinence during the night so he sleeps with a belly band - other than that - no accidents. He will let you know when he wants to go out and walks nicely on the leash. He didn't know how to do his business in the grass but because he is a smart boy and a fast learner, he is starting to go in the grass. He had even been afraid of the stairs and now prances up the stairs like a young dog!

Tyson has been to the vet and has stage one kidney disease, so he will be going on a kidney diet. His blood work is pretty good, some highs and lows, but considering the neglect he has endured, he is doing quite well. Tyson needs a dental in a big way but vet is waiting until he is on the kidney diet for a couple of weeks, along with antibiotics and then will reassess. After his nasty, infected mouth is healed, it can also stabilize his blood levels.

That's what we know for now and if you are wanting to give a mellow, calm and loving senior boy a good home, he promises to love and cherish you for the rest of his life. Will you be the one?

Initial Bio 10/21/25: This sweet little senior boy was rescued from Animal Services when UYR received a call asking us to bring him into our rescue where he had a better chance of thriving and finding his Furever home. Tyson's mommy passed away and, sadly, no one in his family wanted him so this little man was surrendered to a local shelter. It's very sad for him having been in the same home for almost 15 years.

In a very short time, Foster Mom is finding him to be a sweet and quiet little boy and is adjusting as well as can be expected to his new environment. He gets along well with the resident senior girl and he is eating, walking well on his leash and slept peacefully in the car on his ride home.

Tyson is UTD on all his shots and blood work and he will soon have a general wellness exam with our vet where we will have more details on his health.

Stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, please consider giving this sweet little man a place in your heart and home for the rest of his time here. For more information, contact my foster parents at: dunedinrescuemom@yahoo.com.

Spanky

Spanky is a 11year old (estimated) Yorkie boy being fostered near Elizabethtown, KY.

UPDATED BIO

09/08/2025: Spanky is an 11-year-old boy who came to foster parents with severely crusted eyes and skin irritation. Upon a vet visit, it was determined that Spanky suffers from dry eye syndrome. He will be permanently on eye ointment, which he endures like a champ. After a few weeks of antibiotics, he is doing much better. His skin irritation is gone. A spa day with the groomer has this spunky boy struttening his awesomeness.

It is suspected that he suffered neglect in his previous life. He gets along well with other dogs, and he didn't mind his foster parents' grandchildren (ages 3 and 7). However, he is not properly house trained. We are working on that with him.

Spanky is a sweet and affectionate boy, who just wants to be special to someone who will love him. He wants to be your forever lap dog.

Initial Bio 7/9/25: Spanky has just come into Rescue; please stay tuned for more information.

To date we've spent $748.55 on Spanky 's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $546.78 in donations.

THANK YOU TO PENNY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Jeffrey Means, Barbara Lalani

Initial Bio 11/2/25: Penny is a 10 year old, 12 pound Yorkshire terrier looking for a loving forever home. She is a sweet, gentle and affectionate companion who enjoys pets, cuddles and quiet time with her people.

Penny recently lost her elderly owner and is adjusting well in her foster home. She is calm, quiet and house trained. Penny enjoys going outside in the fenced yard and relaxing inside. While she has not previously lived with other dogs, she is doing very well with her foster familys three small dogs.

Penny will be visiting the veterinarian and groomer this week. She has a skin condition that has caused her to lose some of her beautiful reddish hair.

Penny would do best in a calm, loving home where she can continue to receive the care and affection she deserves.

Gina

THANK YOU TO GINA'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Tracy Cunningham, Sandy Pagnotta, Susan Segalo, Barbara Lalani, Barbara Burgess, Sandra Wendt, Crystal Dicosola, Cindy McKimm, David and Diana Lavine

Gina TX

Meet Gina, a precious 8 year old, 9 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Kyle, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 10/27/25: Miss Gina is doing well here. She is an absolute sweetheart and very well mannered in the house. She is finally able to be around my best friends dog, but it took several weeks of interaction. We, however feel that Gina will do best as the only pet in the home. She LOVES her daily walks. We walk 1-2 times a day, up to about 1/2-2/3 of a mile each time. Due to her never being socialized she does react to other animals and some people by barking, but her walks are the best way to introduce her to something she was not given. We do feel over time, she will know that this will be just a normal situation. Gina has also decided that the Halloween decor is not her friend too LOL!! If her furever family decides no walks, that's ok too, as long as she has a yard to play in! She loves to go out in the backyard and chase squirrels and lizards, so a home with a fenced yard is a priority. Inside she's super sweet. If I leave the large living area, she is right on my heels...all the way into the bathroom! She's so quiet inside that I hung some bells on her collar so that I know where she is! Gina loves to be petted and scratched and lays right next to you. Gina is learning everything about being with humans, you can tell she had such a sad life prior without much human interaction. At bedtime I let her snuggle in bed, then she leaves to go in her crate because she gets very anxious in the evenings. She has recently started some meds for that and is doing much better. She needs to be with someone who is home most of the day and can let her in and out as needed and give her the attention she never had growing up. She really is such a sweetheart!

Update 6/10/25: Gina is doing so well! She is spayed and had a dental cleaning and they had to remove 3 more teeth, but she still has most of her teeth. She has done amazingly well on a mostly carnivore diet here. Her hair has stopped falling out and she has gained some weight! She does have a little heart murmur that may require medication in the future. This girl LOVES her daily walks. She actually jumps and dances when it's time to go out, lol. She will initially bark (a lot) at new people, but after she's been allowed to sniff them, she loves them. She does well with older kids, but she hasn't been around any young ones. She is definitely an alpha female and it appears that she had to fight for everything where she came from. I believe she may have been abused. She only barks when there are new people or other animals in her sight.

She does not care for other dogs and will need to be an only pet. She will watch you eat, but will not whine or beg for food. If you leave the room, she will follow you. She loves being petted and scratched. She would prefer to sleep with you, but will sleep in her crate without any problems. I think she would be best with someone who is retired, or home most of the time. I also think she's a little hard of hearing. Gina is the name she came into the shelter with, so I didn't change it. I do, however, call her Gina, Gigi, Miss G, or Pretty Girl. She really is such a sweet girl and I will miss her tremendously!

Initial Bio 4/22/25: Gina came to UYR from a hoarding surrender. She is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs a little under 10 pounds.

She was so frightened, anxious and dirty when I picked her up. After a bath and some cuddling she started to warm up. At her dogter visit she was diagnosed as underweight, dehydrated, missing 4 teeth and with a heart murmur. The vet seems to think that the heart murmur could likely improve with better health and less stress. She looks so much better after her groom! She is really settling in here and is much more outgoing than when she first arrived. She has her favorite spot on the couch, and has been sleeping in her comfy crate next to my bed. She seems well potty trained, even though she had a couple of accidents her first day here. I take her out frequently. She loves being outside and going for walks. I'm currently teaching her how to fetch, but she will only play for a few minutes at a time. She loves being petted and scratched, and is slowly learning to let me cuddle her. She loves my adult sons and my older grandkids. She will be introduced to my best friends little dog this weekend. She will stay with me until she has gained a couple of pounds, and after she has had her spay and dental. She really is the sweetest girl!

To date we've spent $2773.07 on Gina TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1360 in donations.

Update 11/2/25: Ollie is a bundle of energy and love. He is up to date on all vaccines and he also got neutered. His favorite things are going for walks and watching squirrels. He loves his squeaky toys! He gets along with his foster mom's other foster baby. Ollie is ready for his forever loving home!

Initial Bio 10/19/25: Ollie is a Morkie with a BIG heart. He is a shy boy, and may be a little shy when you first meet him. But just give him a little time and patience and he'll be your most loyal cuddle buddy.

Ollie is not fully house trained, but we are working on it. He is about 9-10lbs and will be going to the doggy doctor soon. He will be getting his vaccines, and a neuter. We will keep you updated.

Rocco TX

Meet Rocco, a handsome 4 year old, 10 pound Yorkie Mix boy being fostered in McKinney, TX. Rocco was Heartworm positive but he has completed his treatments and is now HW free and 100% healthy! Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 12/7/25: Dear Santa Paws,

Hi, my name is Rocco, and Ive been a very good boy this year. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, the family that wanted me wasnt able to adopt me after all. So here I am, Santa Paws, sending you my Christmas letter and letting you know my biggest wish:

A home of my very own, with a family of my very own. I really hope this letter reaches you in time.

Let me tell you what to look for as you search for my forever home:

Id love to have a backyard to run and play in. I wouldnt mind having a fur buddy, but its not a mustas long as my family will play with me. Im great with kids, but they should be 12 years or older.

Now, a little about me:

Im a healthy 17 pounds now. Ive completed my heartworm treatment, and my microfilaria test came back negativeyay me! Im up to date on all my vaccinations, Im microchipped, and Im neutered. Im still working on my house-training and learning to walk nicely on a harness, but Im a fast learner and I try really hard.

My favorite thing in the whole world is snuggling right next to you. If you let me, I would love to sleep in bed with you, but Im also crate-trained. Im about three years old, though Foster Mom thinks I may be a little younger because I still have so much puppy energy. I have long legsshe thinks I might have some schnauzer in me. She also calls me Pogo Stick because I bounce up and down when Im excited to see her!

Ill make this short, but if anyone out there has questions about me, they can reach my Foster Mom at: Stickhors@gmail.com

So, Santa Paws, I hope you can help make my Christmas wish come true-I want to be home for Christmas.

P.S. Please tell Mrs. Santa Paws hello, and I hope shes keeping the elves busy making doggy toys, doggy dolls, sweaters, and jackets!

Thank you for reading my letter, Santa Paws. Get lots of restyour big day is almost here, and I hope you carry my wish with you around the world.

Love,

Rocco

Update 08/02/2025: Hello everyone. The weather is certainly heating up quickly, isn't it? I'm excited to share the latest updates from my life since my initial introduction.

My name is Rocco, and according to a vet's estimate, I'm around three years young, although my foster mom believes I might be between two and three years old, given my playful puppy nature. Perhaps I have a bit of schnauzer in me, which would explain my distinctive long, skinny legs. As an inquisitive and intelligent pup, I picked up training remarkably fast - learning in just two sessions! However, with multiple foster brothers at home, it's proving to be a bit challenging to focus on learning more.

I'm all caught up on my vaccinations and have my very own microchip, just in case I ever get lost, though I'm confident it won't happen. As a bit of an escape artist, I require extra caution around open doors. Currently, I'm undergoing treatment for Heartworms, having received my last two shots at the end of July. I'll need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for a follow-up check-up and heartworm test to confirm if the treatment was successful. This means I'll be ready for adoption once I get the all-clear. To aid in my recovery, my foster mom has placed me in a spacious crate, encouraging me to stay calm and quiet - a task that's easier said than done for a lively pup like me!

Potty training is still a work in progress, but I'm making strides in walking nicely on a harness and leash. I love sniffing out new smells and exploring, and I'm quite fond of snuggling up next to people. Fortunately, I've shown no interest in chewing shoes, clothes, or personal items, and those chewy bones are my absolute favorite! Mark your calendars for August 8, when I'll be visiting the doggy salon - stay tuned for fresh photos of me looking dashing. If you have any questions or would like to inquire about adopting me, please don't hesitate to reach out to my foster mom at stickhors@gmail.com. You can also find the application link at the bottom of my page. Looking forward to catching up next month!

Initial Bio 5/8/25: My name is Rocco and just wanted to let you know I am full of energy and love life.

I came to UYR as a stray and they said I was a hot mess. I am a beautiful Yorkie with a short hair cut but I have gorgeous colors and cant wait to see myself with lots of long hair. Some say I am 4 years old but foster mom and dad think maybe 2-3 because I am curious about everything and am learning about being in a wonderful home.

I am healthy except for Heartworm disease but my treatment seems to be working great.

Foster siblings aren't too keen on playing but I am trying to show them what they are missing...if I could have a playmate in my furever home that would be the ultimate.

I am a taller Yorkie so maybe a taller friend would be perfect. Oh by the way, I do need some work on my manners. I am very smart and would learn quickly with some time and loving attention. I just found out about walks and already know when the leash comes out that the fun begins.

If you think I would fit with your family and lifestyle or need more information you can email foster mom at uyrtxbets@gmail.com or complete an application using the link below.

To date we've spent $1994.54 on Rocco TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $950 in donations.

Fletcher

Meet Fletcher, a sweet 12-year-old, 9 pound Yorkie boy being fostered near Clarksville, VA.

8/11/2025: Hello everybody! It's me Fletcher and do I have story to tell you. Let's go all the way back to February of this year (2025). My owners decided they didn't want me anymore so they so they opened the door and let me go out all by myself on an adventure. It was an adventure all right! I made it all the way from Maryland to Virginia without getting into to much trouble. A nice lady found me hanging out in a cemetery not looking so good so she picked me up and took me to a local vet's office to see if I was micro chipped. Guess what.... I was! The vet's office called my old owner and they said they didn't want me anymore (that's how we found out I was on the street for 5 whole months). That's when the nice people at the Dr's office called UYR and my foster mom came and got me right away.

I'm a healthy boy... up to date on my shots now and I had my teeth cleaned. I only have 5 teeth left now, but that doesn't stop me from eating! I love to eat!! FM says I am a super sweet boy but I'm a little anxious. FM isn't sure if it's because I was out on the street for so long and I need more time to adjust to living back inside. I get along great with the other pups in my foster home, but I like to chase the cat. That doesn't make the kitty or FM happy. I am trying to get better about that. I don't want to eat the kitty and I'm not mean to him I just like to chase him. Needless to say the kitty doesn't like me now. I guess I can't blame him.

FM thinks I would do great with another doggie sibling or I would be just fine as an only dog because I LOVE attention and to be loved on!! I'm really a sweet boy who just wants to be loved. I have been doing great about going potty outside and I have even started going to the door to let FM know it's time for a potty break.

If you want a sweet little man in you life...then I'M YOUR GUY!!! FM wanted me to let you know that I will be going to the groomer to get my hair did and that she will post new pictures as soon as that's done. Just wait until you see how handsome I am... your gonna fall in love!! Email FM if you have any questions or want to know more!

08/08/2025: Fletcher just arrived in his new foster home. Update on Fletcher coming soon.

To date we've spent $1351.04 on Fletcher's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $420 in donations.

For more information, contact my foster parents at: armescarolyn@yahoo.com.

Maggie

Maggie is a 10 year old , yorkie girl being fostered in Salem, VA.

Updates Bio 5/27/25

Maggie is a ~10year old yorkie looking for a forever home. She is very happy, loving, and calm. She would do best in a home with another dog her size. She loves to be outside with her human and other dogs in the home. She will potty outside if you take her but does not ask to go outside. She has no teeth and has a very sensitive stomach. She is on prescription dog food in order to keep her GI in good health. Her food is wet so it is easy for her to eat. But she prefers to be spoon fed. She loves to sleep in bed with her human and will sleep all night. She does not play with toys or balls and prefers to snuggle with her human while watching TV. She is the best lap dog and loves to be anywhere her favorite human is. She is somewhat scared of many sounds and/or activities. So introducing her slowly to new things is essential so she will not become fearful. Maggie would do best with a quiet and calm or retired family.

Initial Bio 5/7/25

Maggie just came into rescue. Stay tuned as we get to know her better.

To date we've spent $871.44 on Maggie's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $235 in donations.
