Blaze

Blaze is a 13-year-old Yorkie mix boy who weighs a 12 pounds. Blaze is being fostered in St. Augustine, FL.

Update 02/16/26

Blaze has been in our care for roughly six weeks. He came in really rough shape. His skin was literally red hot and painful and he had no hair. Well, Blaze still has practically no hair but he is starting to develop a little fuzz so we are hopeful! His skin is much better but his vet is pretty perplexed as to what is causing all his skin issues so we have commenced with some specialized (and expensive) testing to try to get a better diagnosis. Blaze has an enlarged liver so his doctor wanted him to have an ultrasound to rule out anything serious. As it turned out, his liver is just big but the ultrasound revealed other issues we didnt know about. Blaze has bilateral kidney stones AND a huge single stone in his bladder that must be so uncomfortable so as soon as hes cleared for surgery that will be addressed. Blaze is going to be a long-timer with us while he continues his journey towards health and adoption. We have spent nearly $4000 on his care so far with lots more needed so any donations are very appreciated! And please share!

01/27/26

Quick update on precious Blaze! What a difference 48 hours can make! You may recall, Blazes skin was so bad he went straight from the shelter to the ER on Saturday. And they worked their magic with multiple meds, an injection, skin soothing treatments and LOTS OF TLC! By Sunday the bright red had faded to pink and Blaze was no longer clawing himself from unbearable itching. Thats the good news! Blaze was seen by the general Vet today where he had lots of blood drawn that will be sent for testing so that we can get to the bottom of all Blazes issues. The Vet suspects he may have Cushings Disease but will need initial test results and additional diagnostics to confirm or rule out. Blazes foster Mom says he is over the moon sweet and the Vet staff marveled at how calm and tolerant he was. And doesnt he look adorable in his blue hoodie?!? Blaze wants to thank EVERYONE who has asked about him and donated to his care! He WOOFS YOU BIGLY!

Initial Bio 1/24/26: Welcome poor Blaze to rescue. Its been a wild week at UYR. Blaze is our 4th intake this week in FL alone. But how could we say no to this? Blaze was picked up as a stray running the streets. He was taken to shelter and scanned. He had a microchip! Yay! It was registered! Double Yay! They were able to track down his owner! Triple Yay! The shelter even brought Blaze home! This is the point in Blaze's story that's supposed to lead to a happy ending! Right?!?! WRONG! His owner who adopted him from another rescue at age 5 no longer wanted him at 13.5. He was too old, too much trouble, too expensive to care for, too EVERYTHING and JUST NO they do not want him anymore. So poor Blaze went back to the shelter with little hope and few prospects. Ironically, Blaze is his REAL NAME. You might think its a name we gave him because his skin looks like it is literally on fire and resembles that of a burn victim. When we saw him we knew we had to help him and help him we are. Blaze was picked up at the shelter by one our most experienced fosters who said he is in the worst shape of any dog she has ever pulled. He was transported straight to the emergency room where he is right now with his foster Mom and Dad receiving desperately needed (and very expensive) emergency care. We so hope we can ease his suffering and get him better fast! If you can help please click donate and share! Thank You!

To date we've spent $2502.15 on Blaze's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $2005.99 in donations.

Buster

THANK YOU TO BUSTER'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Buster

Buster is a 10-year-old Yorkie mix boy who weighs 6 pounds. Buster is being fostered in Palm Coast, FL.

Bio Update 02/16/26

Buster has been a UYR boy for about a month now. He had an adopter pending but sadly that didnt pan out so Buster is once again looking for love. He has been busy getting all the care he was lacking. Since his arrival Buster has gotten all his immunizations, been neutered, had a full lab panel, microchipping, the works! His mouth was really bad but after his major dental cleaning and many extractions he is now totally kissable and hes giving them out freely! Buster is a very healthy boy and his only issue is a very slight heart murmur that was fully evaluated and he doesn't require medication or treatment. The marking problem issue he came to us with is vastly improved, if not resolved. He is very sweet, well behaved, loves to walk outside, eats very well, gets along well with other dogs, all people, and cats. His weight is up to 6.9 lbs, which is a good thing. He loves to lie next to his person on the couch, but also does need some moderate activity. He is somewhat vocal when he wants something, and gets a little anxious in the car, so he has been started on a daily low dose of Trazadone (25 mg) which helps tremendously with that. Buster was the victim of an ugly haircut right before he came to us but his foster Mom was able to get a couple of photos of him from before so you can appreciate how absolutely adorable he will be when his hair grows out. He is now ready to find his perfect person and secure his Happily Ever After! Could that be you?!? If so please head on over to our website and apply today!

Initial Bio 1/19/26: Buster comes to us as an owner surrender. Buster needed more time, care and attention than they had to give him. Sadly, Buster is way behind in veterinary care. His mouth is in terrible shape so in addition to complete vetting, full blood work and urinalysis he's going to need a dental with multiple extractions. Buster if not fully house-trained and he will be working on that in his foster home. In the meantime, foster mom is managing with a belly band. Busters owners describe him as a sweet, gentle boy who loves being with his person. He does have some separation anxiety and will whine on occasion but not excessive. Buster has just arrived in his foster home so stay tuned for updates as we get to know him better.

To date we've spent $2861.84 on Buster's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $985 in donations.

THANK YOU TO COAL'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Coal

Coal is a sweet boy . He is a 14 month old, 5-pound Pom/Maltipoo being fostered near Palm Coast FL.

Update 2/18/26

Meet Coal a tiny fluff with a big personality and even bigger feelings. Basically, hes what would happen if a teddy bear wished really hard to become a dog.

Lets address the obvious: yes, he is ridiculously cute. Yes, we have received a mountain of applications. And yes we are still waiting for the one. Coal isnt just looking for a home hes looking for his person. So please read carefully, because this little fluffball comes with some very specific (and very important) needs.

First, Coal is still very much a puppy at just over a year old. Pomeranians can live 1516 years, so adopting him is a long-term commitment. He needs someone who is ready to love and care for him well into the future through all the chapters of life.

Now, lets talk about mealtime. Coal is what we lovingly call a gourmet minimalist. He is a very picky eater and often requires encouragement, coaxing, and occasionally hand-feeding. He has been known to go on dramatic 48-hour hunger strikes. (Yes, he will out-stubborn you. Ask us how we know.) Patience is required and maybe a sense of humor.

Coal also has a sensitive GI system. Since coming into rescue, hes had episodes of upset tummy and diarrhea, resulting in vet visits and medication. He is currently being treated for parasites, and we are hopeful this will improve things. Its possible his anxiety plays a role were still figuring that out together.

And speaking of anxiety Coal has a lot of it. Emphasis on a lot. He will not do well in a home with young children. He needs a calm, stable, adult-only environment. He would thrive with another small, well-adjusted, calm dog who can model confidence and help him learn that the world isnt quite so scary.

Coal is shy when meeting new people and takes time to feel safe. His foster mom is seeing slow, steady progress, but Coal operates on his own timeline and he does not accept rush orders. When anxious, he can be a flight risk, so a securely fenced yard is a big plus for safety.

Because of his anxiety, we are seeking a local adopter within driving distance of Palm Coast, FL who is willing to do several gradual meet-and-greets before adoption. We know thats asking a lot but Coal deserves the very best chance at a smooth transition.

In short, Coal needs:

A calm, adult-only home

A securely fenced yard

Another small, calm dog

A patient, kind, committed human who is home most of the time

Someone willing to build trust slowly before adoption

Coal is not the easiest dog. He is not plug-and-play. But for the right person the one who sees past the anxiety and into that tender little heart he will be deeply, fiercely devoted.

He is a special dog with special needs, waiting for a special human who is willing to go the extra mile (or ten) to show him that love and safety are here to stay.

If you are that person please apply.

To date we've spent $434.99 on Coal's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $182.73 in donations.

THANK YOU TO COOKIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Cookie (fka Beretta)

Meet Cookie (formerly Beretta), a 7 months old 8 lb girl. Cookie is being fostered near Clearwater , FL.

Bio 2/27/26

Hi there! I'm Cookie, a 7-month-old, 8.2-pound bundle of love, wiggles, and pure puppy joy. I may be tiny, but my heart is HUGE! I've already been spayed, microchipped, and had all my vaccinations and wellness check, so Im healthy, happy, and ready to start my forever life.

I adore other small dogs and would absolutely love a playful little best friend to show me the ropes. I love just about everyone and everything except cats (I prefer my friendships canine, thank you very much!).

I didn't get to explore much of the world early on I spent a lot of time in a room or crate so a home with a secure backyard where I can zoom, sniff, and discover would feel like winning the lottery. I have happy puppy energy and am still learning that being alone isn't so scary, so I'd do best with a family who is home often and willing to help me build confidence.

I'm working hard on my house training manners. Like any baby, I occasionally have accidents, but I'm improving every day with consistency and patience.

Now lets talk about my favorite things: cuddling, being held like royalty, and claiming the softest pillow in the house. I am, without question, a professional pillow princess. I don't care if you're a man or a woman as long as you love me, I'm yours forever.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate little shadow who will adore you endlessly and fill your home with puppy kisses and happy energy, I'm your girl.

To date we've spent $1067.61 on Cookie (fka Beretta)'s vet bills, but with your support we've collected $230 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 yall 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 theyre 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 dont 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 dont 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! Thats 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.

Lily

Lily is a 3-4 year-old Yorkie girl who weighs 8 pounds. Lily is being fostered in Dunedin, FL.

3/5/26: Lily here! Well, I have lots of news to report and it seems to be all good so far as my Foster Mom says she is "Over the Moon" about my progress, whatever that means. She also said I must be feeling better because I have a little bounce in my step now! Amazing what love, safety, good food and a warm bed can do.

I had my dental today and my vet was very surprised at how much enamel is gone from my teeth. She said it might be a result of a bad breeder or it's genetic or both. They extracted 9 teeth and some were just missing, but I still have a lot of teeth left and I never seem to have a problem eating. I guess my breed is prone to dental issues, so if you adopt me, you will need to be sure and take extra good care of my teeth.

A couple of my lumpy things were extracted or aspirated, so we are waiting for the pathology report to return to make sure it's nothing bad.

Now here's the REALLY GOOD NEWS! We thought I was going to need leg surgery but my leg issue is the result of a trauma early in life, like falling, and the injury was never fixed. So I will need to take joint support stuff to keep my leg strong and I am not supposed to jump off of things like the sofa or the bed.

So we got to skip the Orthopedic Surgeon and go straight to the Ophthalmologist. I am going to see him very soon for a consult to see if we can do cataract surgery. So please stay tuned!

My foster mom keeps calling me an Angel. I am so very sweet and I give her lots of love and kisses and snuggling. I am very good in the car now too. Where I used to fidget, now I just sleep in my car seat. I love my walks and my favorite place is near to my human. She takes me out to do lots of different things and I am always a good girl. I get along with people, other dogs and...well....I love life!

Stay tuned for further updates on Lily's progress and foster mom is readily available to answer an questions you may have.

If you need a little angel living in your home, Lily is your girl!

Updated Bio 2/23/26: Lily went to the groomer today and just when we thought she couldn't get any cuter, she did! The groomer said she was an angel and everyone who meets Lily seems to feel the same way.

Lily is the sweetest little girl - affectionate, sleeps through the night, walks well on a leash, is good in the car (at times a little squirmy but not too bad) and likes to be near her person. She is mostly housebroken and readily does her business outside or on a walk, unless her Foster Mom misses her signal to go out - oops!

Lily had her Dogter appointment and, while we were not sure what to expect based on her seemingly scary conditions, we were, of course hoping for the best. And THE BEST is what we got! We need to take one step at a time but it appears that her medical conditions are treatable and manageable. Her tumors are just fatty tumors and are benign. She has one on her back end, which is being removed in a few days when she goes in for her dental. And her blood work had a few "off" levels which are being retested while fasting. Lily enjoys her food, so fasting is not her favorite thing!

Next stop is consulting with the orthopedic surgeon who has already looked at her Xrays and deemed that we have several options on how to treat the necrosis in her leg. Lily walks just fine and is not in pain, so that's another good thing.

Then on to the Ophthalmologist to look at her cataracts and decide a course of action. At her young age, removal of the cataracts is a viable option.

Lily has a lot going on for such a young little girl, a result of bad breeding, genetics or both. But the GOOD NEWS is that we are going to get her all taken care of and on the road to her Furever home! She certainly deserves it!

Stay tuned for further updates on Lily's progress and her foster mom is readily available to answer an questions you may have.

If you need a little angel living in your home, Lily is your girl!

Initial bio: Lily came into the shelter as an owner surrender who was facing severe health problems. Lily was obtained just 2 months ago from another owner as they were unable to care for her any longer. The previous owner provided us with the following information about Lily. She is independent, quiet, friendly to visitors, safe in interactions with children of all ages, has lived with cats and other dogs, sleeps in a pet bed, is housetrained and crate trained, will sit in front of you and stare to signal the need to go outside. Upon exam the shelter vet found a lot of medical issues including dental disease; bilateral cataracts (suspect inherited) with secondary uveitis; multiple masses; an anal mass (perianal adenoma vs ulcerated mucosa vs AGASAC); mild hyperbilirubinemia (suspect due to lipemia); left femoral head/neck & acetabulum changes (r/o avascular necrosis of femoral head vs neoplasia vs other), so Lily definitely needed help and we answered! Lily will be requiring a lot of care for a while so donate if you can!

To date we've spent $2437.98 on Lily's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $375 in donations.

Luigi

Meet Luigi a 1 yr 2 months old 13lb boy. Luigi is being fostered in Spring Hill , FL.

02/23/2026: Hello Good People, My name is Luigi or Lu for short. I am a Havanese, Maltese and Yorkie mix. I am a year and a half old and weigh about 15lbs. I have had a terrible start to my life and really need someone who would like a quiet gentle companion. I was born into a back yard breeder situation and I am hopeful that my new family will have a patient heart for me. I have been in my new foster home less than 48 hours. I have not made a peep. I think I'm house trained but I really havent left my new safe place, the recliner. I am very sweet and friendly to other animals and all people. I would love to meet you if you would like to meet me.

Sincerely,

Your Future Best Friend, Luigi

Oliver

Oliver is a 5-year-old Yorkie boy who weighs 10 pounds. Oliver is being fostered in Zephyr Hills, FL.

Initial Bio 3/1/26: Oliver comes to us as an owner surrender for personal

health reasons. Meet Oliver, a silver-toned 5 year old male Yorkie with the most adorable face you've ever seen. At 11.7 lbs, he is the perfect size for a lap which happens to be his favorite place to be. Oliver is a true velcro dog who loves to rest his head on his foster moms shoulder and soak up all the snuggles and body rubs he can get. Oliver is currently on a medical timeout while we clear up a UTI and a yeast ear infection. He's taking his meds like a champ and should be good as new in a few weeks. Oliver is basically house trained but because of the UTI, he's had a few accidents, his foster mom will know more once he is healed from it. While he's a total sweetheart at home, Oliver is a sensitive soul who finds the vet a bit scary. He does best with a muzzle during exams to keep everyone safe, but with a patient team and some soft words, he settles right down. He is also a total gentleman on the go, he enjoys his car rides and does well in the car. He is crate and leash trained, loves his crate for a good night's sleep, and naps throughout the day. He walks well on his leash and enjoys going for walks. Oliver is doing great living with both dogs and cats, and he hasn't even let out a single bark yet. When he's feeling playful, his foster mom enjoys watching him play, he's a total riot with his toys, he shakes his head, while growling and tosses his toy up in the air, happily tossing them in the air and also enjoys playing tug of war with her. We are still learning his full personality as he starts feeling better and his appetite returns to normal, so stay tuned for an update in a few weeks once this sweet boy is at 100%!

To date we've spent $378.72 on Oliver's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $110 in donations.

Bio Update 2/12/26

Look at me! Am I just the cutest doggie in the whole world or what? Not too long ago I was found hiding under some bushes in front of a building . I was rescued and found to be severely matted and had stickers all in my hair. My little bones were showing through because I hadn't eaten in so long. So, because we don't know my past, this is where my story begins. I am an approx 2-3 years of age 7lb ball of energy just waiting to fill your life with love and lots of playtime. I get along with everyone I meet and every doggy. Because I am small, I don't take up much of the bed at night but I do like to snuggle. I will wake you up every morning with my eyes peering into yours and give you a big kiss. This means it's time to wake up because I'm hungry and I am ready to eat! I do love to eat. Eat eat and play that's what I love best. I also love going for car rides and just being with my person. A fenced-in yard would be pawsome so I can run and play. I would love to have a fur sister or brother that shares my passion for playtime.

Bio Update 1/14/26

Hi again y'all, Tripp here. Well, it's been a busy few days here in foster care. I had a dental and I was neutered. I am recovering from my neuter. I have allot of energy so keeping me quiet is not an option! It's ok though. I am pretty healed up now. I like to play with other dogs my size in the backyard and I love the outdoors. I still need help with housebreaking but I am so smart that now that I am neutered it should be much easier for me to catch on. I also like to pick things up and put them in my mouth if you leave them around. Like my foster daddy's belt. He left it out the other day and I chewed the end of it. I still have a lot of puppy in me and I need a little training and patience. Something it seems I didn't get in my previous home. I do like to give big wet kisses to my person and snuggle up in bed with you. I also love to eat. I was severely underweight when I first came into foster care but I have made up for it and now I have gained a few pounds and filled out to where I should be. Im just waiting for my furever person who will help me with training and give me patience and time to learn all while loving me at the same time.

Initial Bio 12/18/25

Hi everybody! I'm Tripp. I was affectionately named Tripp because I decided one day to take a trip on my own and got lost. I was found hiding under some bushes by some nice people. Boy was I scared and hungry! I was covered in those sticker thingies and hadn't eaten in a while. My little rib bonies were showing. I was taken to a wonderful lady with UYR and now I am in foster care where I get lots of yummy food to eat and am slowly gaining weight and also have other fur babies to play with. I also get to sleep in bed with my foster mom and the other pups. I get along with other small pups but because Im so young, sometimes I can be a bit to much and annoying to the older pups as I can be pretty active and just want to play all day. Due to my small delicate size, its best for me if I am not in a home with small children.

Since there is no history on me and obviously I can't speak for myself, I have to go to the dogtor and have a check-up. I also will be neutered prior to adoption. My foster mommy thinks I may have been used as a breeder or was going to be used as one. It is guesstimated that I may be around a year old. Stay tuned for updates once I have seen the dogtor.

To date we've spent $1629.44 on Tripp's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $834.99 in donations.

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 FLANNERY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta

2/8 Flannery had her first dogtor appointment. Her evaluation reflected she is past due for a dental. Additionally, Flannery is being treated for eye irritation, potentially a dry eye condition. She's is scheduled to have a dental procedure on 3/20, at which time she will have some cysts removed and her eye condition and luxating patellas will be rechecked to determine if any additional medical care is needed.

It was initially presented that Flannery and her sister Harper Lee were a bonded pair, however after further assessment it appears the girls would do better in separate homes. Please continue to check back for updates as we further assess medical needs.

When Flannery becomes available, applicants will need to live within a 2-hour radius of St. Paul, MN, so we can provide local support if needed. Flannery is part of a bonded pair, and must be adopted with her sister Harper Lee. We anticipate high vetting expenses before she's ready for her forever home and would greatly appreciate donations to her with her upcoming medical care. Questions? If you have questions not covered in her bio below, please reach out to her foster at mnyorkiemom@gmail.com.

Initial Bio 2/4/26: Meet Flannery, a tiny soul with a huge heart and a penchant for snuggles.

Sandy Pagnotta

2/8 Harper Lee had her first dogtor appointment. Her evaluation reflected a minor ear infection, which is under treatment. Additionally, she is due for a dental which is scheduled on 3/20. If all goes well with the procedure, and she receives a clean bill of health, Harper Lee will be adoption ready.

It was initially presented that Harper Lee and her sister Flannery were a bonded pair, however after further assessment it appears the girls would do better in separate homes. Harper Lee would prefer to be the center of attention, and would do well as an only dog. She loves to play with toys and responds well being rewarded with treats in response to training. Please continue to check back for updates.

Initial Bio 2/4/26: Meet Harper Lee, a sweet gentle soul, who loves to play with toys. Harper was raised in a loving home and is incredibly well-adjusted and social. Her favorite place in the world is snuggled up with her person. She travels well and is a dream during grooming, baths, and brushing sessions.

She is potty pad trained and does great with outdoor potty breaks when kept on a consistent schedule. A fenced yard is preferred, so she can explore, but not required based on the situation.

We anticipate high vetting expenses before Harper is ready for her forever home. Please reach out to her foster mom at mnyorkiemom@gmail.com with any questions.

THANK YOU TO BUDDY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta

Update Bio 2/23/26: FEMALE ONLY FAMILY for sweet Buddy. He is only a year old and somewhere in his short life he has become fearful of men. He has warmed up to his foster mom and with lots of love and patience you will have a best friend for life. If you are a single lady and understand his background please complete the application below.

We are anxious to see this boy settled in and start the new life he deserves

Update Bio 2/20/26: This precious 1 year old boy is looking for a very special family that is able to give him the attention and love that he has been searching for

Buddy came into United Yorkie Rescue from a family that rescued him at 6 weeks old from a hoarding situation and for some reason little Buddy has been afraid to reach out and let himself be loved by others. He has adjusted very well to his foster mom but is afraid and reluctant to be loved by foster dad and other males.

When these babies come into rescue we cant always see their past but look to their future with a new family to help them see that the world has love and let them be free of their past to play and snuggle like Yorkies love to do.

Since Buddy is only a 1 year old with the perfect family that knows that patience and gentle training he would be the love of your life.

It will take a family that is a single mom that would love his companionship or

someone who understands the Yorkie personality and has had previous experience and the time and patience to help a sweet boy like Buddy.

Buddy was with 2 other dogs at his previous home...we arent sure how he will be around children. He has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines, and loves to go for walks.

Buddy is a puppy and has lots of time in his life to learn to love and give cuddles and kisses.

His fosters email is below if you would like to reach out and get more information on Buddy. We cant wait to tell Buddy love is on its way!!!!!

Initial Bio 2/6/26: Hi everyone. I'm Buddy. I'm new to UYR and am getting used to my new foster home. My foster mom says I am a sweet boy. I am shy and am learning a lot of new things. Can you tell I need a haircut? (Well, at least that's another thing my foster mom said!)

I will report more about myself soon. Thanks for reading about me. Buddy

THANK YOU TO JOLIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Angie Cagle, Carol Gostomski, David and Diana Lavine

Jolie TX

Meet Jolie, a precious 6 week old Yorkie female being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Initial Bio 3/5/26: Hello Lone Star State!

My name is Jolie! I just flew in from California and I am so happy to be here and a United Yorkie Rescue little one.

I am still a puppy, probably around six to eight weeks old. I went to the Dogtor on March 2 to meet them and get a quick check-up. The Dogtor said I am a healthy little girl and weigh a whole 2 pounds! I am still a little too young for my puppy shots, so well start those in two weeks.

It will take a few weeks before I can go to my forever home. I need to get all my puppy shots, a microchip, and I need to be spayed so I dont have puppies. Weve got that first vaccination appointment already set up.

I have only been here since February 27th, and I am still showing my foster mom how much of a puppy I can be. Im a very busy little girl when I get out of my big pen and wander around with the big dawgs or go outside to do my business. I love to play with toys, especially the ones that make crinkly noises. I love my food time and trying to steal cookies from the other resident puppies, but I cant eat them because I still have tiny puppy teeth. I am in my teething stage and I love my little yak bones. But, being a puppy, that holds my attention span for a good minute or so before I have to go and play with something else.

Well, that is about all for now that I have let my foster family learn about me. You can bet I will be teaching them other things as time passes because I overheard FM saying to herself that I am a smart girl. So, I am pawsitively sure there will be new adventurous pupdates posted in the future. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can reach out to my FM at Stickhors@gmail.com. If you want to fill out an application you will find below this bio you will see a link that will take you directly to my very own application, so fill one out if youd like.

Millie TX

Meet Millie, a precious 8 pound, 3 year old Yorkie mix being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Initial Bio 2/14/26: Millie was rescued by UYR from the Killeen Animal Shelter.

On January 29, 2026, she underwent a Comprehensive Intake Examination at Crossroads Veterinary Hospital. Her blood chemistry and CBC were performed, and she was checked for a microchip. Unfortunately, she did not have one, but will receive one when she is spayed. She also tested positive for microfilaria, and has commenced heartworm treatment with doxycycline and prednisone.

Millie captured my heart within a few days. She remains quiet and cautious, but is gradually becoming more comfortable in her new environment.

She still requires a rabies shot, a spay procedure and must have her Microchip inserted. She continues her heartworm treatment plan, and must remain on her HeartGard Preventative monthly.

We are currently accepting applications for her, but completing her Heartworm treatment plan will take several months.

Millie is unlikely to be available for adoption until the end of May or the beginning of June. Please stay tuned as we learn more about this sweet girl. There will be further updates to share.

If you have any questions, you may contact her Foster Mom at Stickhors@gmail.com.

To date we've spent $1046.91 on Millie TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $250 in donations.

Pip TX

Meet Pip, a tiny male Yorkie with some health issues we are looking into. He will not be ready for adoption until we have fully assessed his condition. Pip is being fostered in McKinney, Tx. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Initial Bio 3/5/26: O my goodness, there is nothing more precious than rescuing a puppy that truly truly needed us! Meet our little, United Yorkie Rescue, 1 lb Pip! Pip came to us as an owner surrender, where the owner was concerned that he was blind. Barely weighing in at 11 ounces, this little baby was honestly knocking on death's door. He could not stand or walk, he was so incredibly hypoglycemic, his little body was just skin and bones with zero muscle mass. After critical care given to this little one, we finally know, our precious baby boy has cerebella hypoplasia. Pip, has been in rescue now since the 9th of February. The most heartbreaking thing his foster has conquered, was protecting him from his falls and devising a safe soft cone that helps this little one with balance. I say heartbreaking, because before the cone, when he would fall over, he would bite his leg to try to get back up while the puppy teeth would puncture the skin on his leg or foot and cause this baby to scream so pitifully and cry and cry. His little leg became infected overnight. Luckily, his amazing vet saw him immediately and care was given! His case is not as severe as many babies can be, for that he is so blessed!!

Pip, needless to say, is so loved. He will be the light of someone's eye when we are through with his vetting and he is ready to be with his Furever family. Be patient as this itty bitty will not be ready until he's reached close to 14 weeks of age. You are welcome to submit an application, but again, please be patient. We would also like to ask those of you who follow our babies, to please consider a donation towards this little one's vetting. He's under weekly care at the moment and of course with xrays, bloodwork, etc etc. Outside of his normal needs, it becomes quite costly. Keep this sweet angel in your prayers and bless you all for loving our babies

To date we've spent $971.98 on Pip TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $490 in donations.

Barbara Burgess, Sandy Pagnotta

Initial Bio 3/4/2026: Meet Teddy, a 12-year-old 'gentle angel' who refuses to give up.

Found wandering alone and vulnerable, Teddy came to UYR in rough shape. His vet visit revealed the challenges he's been quietly facing: he's mostly blind, completely deaf, has only three teeth remaining, and struggles with arthritis and knee pain. He is also significantly underweight.

But don't let that list fool you, Teddy is one tough cookie. In just a short time with his foster family, hes already showing improvement thanks to his medication. This smart, sweet boy is finally getting the TLC (and the mountain of food!) he deserves.

Well keep you updated as his journey continues.

Bio Update 2/26/26

Hi everyone, it's me Briggs!

I wanted to give you an update on how I have been doing since the last time I checked in. FM still says that I am AMAZING and that I am just the sweetest! She still has to hand feed me 2 times a day. I have a hard time getting and keeping the food in my mouth when I try to eat on my own. FM said that she doesn't mind doing that because I'm worth it and I agree with her!

My tummy wasn't feeling very well and I was having lots of diarrhea so FM took me to see the Dr. They gave me some meds and I started feeling better but as soon as I finished taking them it came back. The dr said that due to the length of time that this was going on we needed to do an ultrasound next. We are waiting to see when I can be scheduled for that next week.

Any donations towards my medical care would be greatly appreciated!!! They can be made on United Yorkies Rescue's website. www.uyr.us

Thanks, and as soon as we have answers on what's happening with my tummy, I will let you know. Send prayers please. THANKS!!

Initial Bio

1/17/2026: Briggs just arrived Friday night, this poor baby has had a ROUGH life!! He was surrendered to us by his owner. We were told that he is 12yrs old. He has no teeth and only 1 eye. He was severely neglected, clearly you can see that from the pictures. His hair was matted and he had dried poop in clumps smashed into his hair. I have cut out as many of the matts that I could without hurting him. He will have to be shaved down to get out the rest. He has been given a bath, and he seems to be very grateful for that! He is under weight and his hearing doesn't seem to be very good. It appears to me that he has some health issues as well, but I will know more this week when I take him to the vet. I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could let an animal get to this point!

1/20/26: Just a quick update on sweet Briggs.... He is starting to come out of his shell a little and show his personality. He's waging his tail now and starting to show some excitement when I walk into the room. For everything this baby has been through it amazing me that he is soooooooo sweet. I have earned his trust, but I am still going slow with him. He went to the vet yesterday and he needs to put on some weight. Why is it that when I go to the Dr I am told just the opposite?? LOL I am waiting for his bloodwork, but upon exam there wasn't anything alarming per the vet.

He has done well with my 2 yorkies and doesn't seem to be fazed at all by the cat. He is a very special little boy who deserved only the best. Stay tuned for more updates as I get to know more about him.

1/25/26: The bloodwork is back and he is PERFECT but I already knew that! As I have gotten to know this little man better, I think he would do best in a quiet home without children or other animals over 10 lbs. He prefers the simple thing in life like quiet and his bed. He has been eating well but you will need to get him jump started. His hearing isn't the best, but then again, most yorkies have selective hearing anyway. LOL Honestly.... he is just as sweet as they come. You do have to go slow with him and take your time to earn his trust. Because he only has one eye if you reach for him on that side and he can't see you hand coming he gets startled. He will not be adopted out of state so if you are in VA and think you are the perfect home for him, please complete an application for adoption.

1/31/26: Hi everyone.... it's me Briggs! I have been settling into my new foster home for the last 2 weeks now and FM says that she can't believe how quickly I have been adjusting. I still haven't been able to go to the salon to get my hair done by the professionals because mother nature had other plans. We have gotten soooooo much of the white stuff and ice. FM says that we have to wait for the roads to get better before we can go. I can tell you one thing for sure I DO NOT like the white stuff. FM says that she doesn't blame me.

Let me tell you a little about how far I have come in the last 2 weeks. I am really starting to trust and come out of my shell. I get excited when I see FM and she said that my little stump of a tail moves so much and so fast she thinks I might take off in flight! LOL I'm starting to lick FM's hand and will play a little at night when we get into bed. My foster sister (another yorkie) always wants to give kisses and at first it really made me nervous, but now I'm warming up to the idea and letting her get a little closer. I sleep in bed with FM and both of the other yorkies that live with us. I'm even letting them snuggle a little closer now and I think I kinda like it. I have been eating like a champ and FM says that's a good thing because I still need to gain some weight. I'm not real big on treats, but the other 2 pups that live here are ok with that! They are more than happy to have my share of the treats. FM says I am just the best little guy... and I couldn't agree more with her!! Stay tuned for more updates.... Bye for now.

2/26/26: Hi everyone, it's me Briggs! I wanted to give you an update on how I have been doing since the last time I checked in. FM still says that I am AMAZING and that I am just the sweetest! She still has to hand feed me 2 times a day. I have a hard time getting and keeping the food in my mouth when I try to eat on my own. FM said that she doesn't mind doing that because I'm worth it and I agree with her!

Any donations towards my medical care would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks, and as soon as we have answers on what's happening with my tummy, I will let you know. Send prayers please. THANKS!!

To date we've spent $0 on Briggs's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $287 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.
