Update 6/5/26

Hi! Blaze here, checking in to let you all know how I am doing. After some trouble with the resident cats in my original foster home, I have moved to a new home without cats. I really like it here! I am looking for a quiet home without cats or small children. I spend most of my day relaxing on the bed watching TV, though my foster mom discovered that I love to play when someone throws a toy for me. While I enjoy the company of other dogs, I do try to sneak their food, so I would need to be fed separately or be the only pet in the home.

Regarding my health, I was diagnosed with bladder and kidney stones. Surgery was attempted to remove the bladder stone, but because it was embedded, my vet decided to leave it to avoid damaging my bladder. I am now on a lifelong prescription diet, and the good news is that the stone is already shrinking! I have a follow-up appointment next month to check my progress. Despite this, I am house-trained and go potty outside. I do have some accidents at night, so I wear a belly band when I sleep with my foster mom and the other dogs.

My coat is also growing in nicely. I still have a few patches of itchy skin, but I receive two medicated baths a week which I find very soothingI especially love the exfoliating glove! My medication dosage is also being reduced.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email my foster mom. Additionally, if you would like to contribute toward my veterinary bills, any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Love, Blaze

Update 4/12/26

Four months ago, we got a request to help a hot mess of a dog who landed in a local shelter. This dog looked like he had walked straight out of a fire, skin blazing red, no hair, and in obvious discomfort. We called him Blaze.

Today? Well, have a look! His coat is slowly growing back. His skin is calmer. His spirit? Blaze NEVER gave up for a second.

Blaze is a 13-year-old Yorkie mix gentleman being fostered in St. Augustine, FL, and while he's made incredible progress, his journey isn't over yet. Blaze came to us with a bladder stone and kidney stones. We attempted surgery to remove the bladder stone but it was adhered to the bladder wall and rather than risk bleeding or bladder perforation the decision was made to try him on a stone dissolution diet and we HOPE the stones dissolve on their own. Blaze isnt exactly thrilled about his new menu (can you blame him?), but his foster mom is trying different brands and combinations. In one month, he'll have another ultrasound, and we're all hoping for good news.

Despite everything, Blaze remains unbelievably sweet. He still deals with some itching, and managing his medications has been a challenge every time we try to wean his prednisone he starts itching - but through it all, he just wants love. He leans in for pets. He trusts. He hopes. Blaze isnt a perfect dog. He needs to be on RX dog food and skin medication for the rest of his life. He isn't completely house trained and his vision and hearing aren't that of a puppy anymore. But what Blaze lacks in the perfection arena he more than makes up for in the sweetness category and HE IS PERFECTLY IMPERFECT TO US. He is so deserving of a forever home of his own. He just needs someone who will see his worth, his fight, and his heart and choose him anyway. Could you be that special person?

So far, his medical care has exceeded $2,500 and we're not done yet. If you can't adopt, please consider donating to help Blaze continue his journey to healing. Every dollar truly makes a difference for this little survivor.

Blaze has already come so far. Let's not stop now. Lets give him the ending he deserves.

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 $3906.81 on Blaze's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $2181.99 in donations.

Bruno

Bruno is a tiny tri-colored Yorkie boy with a HUGE future ahead of him but right now, he urgently needs our help. This precious little guy weighs just 3.5 pounds, is only 1 year and 10 months old, and is being fostered in Stuart, FL

THANK YOU TO BRUNO'S FACEBOOK DONORS
Many donors have remained anonymous

Update: 7/25/2026

Here is an update on little Louie (Bruno), who has been with me as his foster mom since May 21st. First, thank you so much to everyone who has donated to his care.

Since his arrival, Louie has endured surgery on his right radius bone, weekly trips to the surgeon, suture removal, and x-rays, transitioning successfully from a splint to no bandage at all. Through it all, he has remained incredibly sweet and patient despite needing strict confinement and supervision. He has been fully weight-bearing for the last two weeks, and his x-rays from July 9th showed the bone was healing well.

Louie had another set of x-rays on July 23rd. While his radius is still healing, it is progressing slower than expected for his age. Unfortunately, his ulna is being absorbed by his body. Dr. Padron explained that while this phenomenon is uncommon, it sometimes happens in toy breeds due to their tiny bones and limited blood flow. The great news is that Louie can still lead a normal life! However, he will need an owner who is mindful of his condition to prevent future injury, as we were cautioned that the plate could break if he jumps off furniture. Currently, we pick him up and put him down carefully, and he is never left alone on the sofa.

Having spent so much time together, I feel I know Louie very well now. He is a cuddlebug who loves affection, wants to bond deeply with his person, and loves to follow you around the house. He is mostly quiet and is leash trained, though he has not been on outdoor walks yet. While he previously experienced motion sickness, he did wonderfully on a recent extended car trip while tethered in an open, raised car seat.

Louie will do best in a quiet home with no small children, where his people are home "more often than not" and understand how to protect his fragile 3.6-pound body. He will need continued training regarding staying off furniture, as well as housebreaking or pee-wee pad training. He may do best as an only dog, though a home with another small dog will be considered.

Louie is scheduled to be neutered and have his baby teeth extracted on July 31st. He will then have follow-up x-rays in one month on August 25thone day after his second birthdayat which point we will know more.

Thank you again for your support, and stay tuned for more updates!

Update: 6/29/26

Hi everyone,

Bruno checking in to provide an update on my progress. My first given name was actually Louie, so that is what I have been going by here in my foster home.

Five weeks ago, I was picked up and taken to my foster home. The very next morning, I was rushed into surgery to repair a fractured leg with a small plate and screws. I am doing well, and it will take another three weeks to heal completely. As you can see in my new photo, the splint has been removed and replaced with a much smaller bandage. While I still stay in my pen, I am now able to walk and am enjoying short times out of my pen and leash walks. I am only two years old, so I am looking forward to the day I can run and play again.

Yesterday, I visited the vet for a wellness check, and I am healthy, except for some hookworms which I'm being treated for. I am scheduled to be neutered and have my teeth cleaned on July 29th. By that time, we should have a better idea of what I am looking for in a forever home.

I will check in again soon with another update.

Love,

Bruno/Louie

Bruno Update 6/4/26:

Bruno had a follow up visit with the surgeon yesterday. His bandage was changed and

sutures removed. He is healing nicely and has even begun to put weight on the injured

leg. He will continue to have weekly bandage changes until the splint comes off and will be limited to a small pen during the day and a carrier at night. Hes been a very good patient!

Bruno is not housebroken but has a good chance to learn potty manners once healed.

The vet suggested we wait to have Bruno neutered until after the splint is removed. He will need a dental cleaning and have his retained deciduous teeth extracted (baby

teeth).

Initial Bio 5/19/26:

Bruno came to United Yorkie Rescue from a caring owner. Sadly, after an unexpected injury, they were no longer able to provide the specialized care Bruno now desperately needs. His owner wanted the best for their little boy so they made the decision to reach out to UYR for help.

This sweet baby has a severe displaced distal radius fracture and is in urgent need of emergency orthopedic surgery. The estimated cost to repair Brunos tiny leg is $5,500, and because the fracture is already several days old, time is critical. The moment we learned about Bruno, we immediately said YES.

Bruno has now been safely picked up and will be evaluated by the orthopedic surgeon ASAP. Despite his injury, he remains loving, trusting, and absolutely adorable. He deserves the chance to heal, grow, run, play, cuddle, and enjoy the happy puppy life every young dog should have free from pain and limitations. Bruno needs a band of angels so let's dust off those wings and carry him over the goal line!

Please help us give Bruno the future he deserves. No donation is too small when it comes to saving this tiny life. Together, we can help this little fighter stand tall again.

To date we've spent $5103.14 on Bruno's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $3210 in donations.

Coal

Coal is a sweet boy . He is a 14 month old, 5-pound Pom/Maltipoo being fostered near Palm Coast FL. COAL HAS VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR HIS FOREVER HOME - PLEASE REVIEW HIS PROFILE BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION

Update: 6/25/26

Meet Coal, a sweet two-year-old Pomeranian with a big personality. As Pomeranians can live up to 16 years, Coal needs a dedicated owner prepared to care for him throughout all stages of his life.

Coal requires a specific environment to thrive:

- Dietary Needs: He has a very sensitive GI system and is a picky eater; he must strictly follow a specific diet to avoid an upset stomach.

- Home Environment: Due to his fragile nature and need for stability, Coal requires a very calm, adult-only home. He cannot be placed with young children.

- Other Pets: He is comfortable with other small, calm dogs and will play once settled, but he is very afraid of large dogs.

- Safety: A fenced backyard is required. Coal is easily frightened and can be a flight risk when anxious.

- Temperament: Coal bonds deeply with "his person" and needs constant companionship and reassurance.

His foster mother is currently working to rebuild his confidence and help him become more social, as he can be mistrusting of humans due to past experiences.

Adopting Coal will require a significant amount of time, attention, and patience. If you feel you are the right person to provide the specialized care Coal needs, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Update 2/18/26

Meet Coal a tiny fluff with a big personality and even bigger feelings. Basically, he's what would happen if a teddy bear wished really hard to become a dog. Coal is not yet ready for adoption, but hopefully he will be soon.

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 isn't just looking for a home he's 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 15-16 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 isn't 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 that's 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 complete an application using the link below.

To date we've spent $502.41 on Coal's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $490.15 in donations.

Cookie (fka Beretta)

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

Update 8/9/26

Hi, everyone, Cookie here and I recently celebrated my first birthday on July 4th! I may be one year old, but don’t let that fool you—I’m still very much a puppy at heart! I’m a happy, energetic little girl with a BIG personality and plenty of love to give.

I’m at my happiest when I’m playing, exploring, and zooming around a fenced backyard. I love having room to run, chase, investigate, and practice my very important hunting skills. I’m incredibly agile, super fast, and I can jump like a cat! Life is an adventure, and I want to experience all of it.

But when playtime is over, I have another favorite activity: snuggling! Once I’ve had a chance to burn off my puppy energy, I’m happy to curl up with my people and enjoy some quality cuddle time. I also love stretching out in a sunny spot for a relaxing little sunbath.

Because I’ve never been an only dog, I’m looking for a forever home with another playful, energetic dog who can keep up with me and be my best friend. A fenced backyard is also a must-have so I can safely run and play to my heart’s content.

I’m still working on my leash skills. I’ll walk on a leash when I have to, but I’m definitely more comfortable doing my exploring in a fenced yard. I’m also moderately house-trained and continuing to work on my good-girl skills.

One important thing to know about me: I’m not a fan of cats. They tend to scare me, so my forever home needs to be cat-free.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, energetic little companion who will keep you laughing, keep you moving, and then happily snuggle up beside you, I might just be your girl!

Could Cookie be the perfect addition to your family? If you think we might be a match, please reach out to my foster parents. I’m ready to find my forever family and start my next adventure! ❤️🐾

Update 4/24/26

Cookie is a 9-month-old, 9-pound Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix) being fostered in Clearwater, FLand this little girl is bursting with personality!

From the moment she wakes up until bedtime, Cookie is on the move. Shes playful, curious, and full of puppy energy. Her absolute favorite place is a fenced backyard where she can run, explore, and hunt like the tiny adventurer she is. Fast as lightning and agile as a cat (though shes not a fan of them!), Cookie keeps herselfand everyone around herentertained.

Cookie is also incredibly sweet but she is NOT a sit-still lap dog, she will happily snuggle up once shes gotten her energy out. She thrives on companionship and has never been an only dog, so she must have another playful, energetic dog in the home to match her spirit. She spends her days happily romping with her foster siblings and would be lost without a canine buddy.

Like many puppies, Cookie is still working on her house training and will need a patient, consistent adopter to help her continue learning. She can get anxious outside of her routine, isnt a fan of car rides, and prefers the comfort of familiar surroundings over busy places like dog parks.

Cookies ideal home:

A fenced backyard for safe playtime

At least one other young, playful dog

Someone home most of the day

A family ready for all things puppyenergy, training, and lots of love

Cookie is a happy, healthy girl who just wants to play hard, love big, and be part of an active home. If youre ready for a fun, lively companion who will keep you smiling (and on your toes!), Cookie might just be your perfect match.

7/26

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 so homes with another canine fur friend are preferred. 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 $2725.94 on Cookie (fka Beretta)'s vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1530 in donations.

Joey FL

Joey is a 2-year old, 7 pound long haired chihuahua being fostered in Flagler Beach, FL.

7/4/26 Update:

Here is an update on Joey's progress as he learns to explore his new world and find love along the way.

After coming from a hoarding situation where he had emotionally shut down, Joey is making great strides in his foster home and continues to surprise his foster mom every day. His nickname is "Speedy," as he loves to run and play in the backyard with the neighbor's dog. While he is still mastering house-training, he is doing very well in this area.

Joey has discovered toys and is learning how to be playful. He has also become quite the cuddle bug, snuggling up to his person whenever possible. While he can still be very vocalperhaps as a protective measurehe is certainly coming out of his shell, and his foster mom is learning to decipher his cues. Joey gets along well with other dogs and currently lives comfortably with a large dog in his household.

Stay tuned for more updates on Joeys journey to find his forever home.

5/20/26 Initial Bio: Joey comes to UYR from a hoarding and animal cruelty case where he was seized along with 48 other chihuahuas and mixes. There were several deceased animals on the property and we are so glad Joey wasnt among them. Joeys life before rescue was a hellish existence but all that stops today! Joeys foster parents say he is smart little guy with tons of potential and a big personality! This handsome boy is already learning (or re-learning) basic commands like No and Stay, and hes eager to please the people he trusts. Joey appears to be potty trained and has done wonderfully with a consistent routine in foster care. He also settles nicely in a crate even spending several quiet hours alone without barking, crying, or making a mess.

Joey loves outdoor playtime and enjoys running around the fenced yard with his foster sibling. Like many dogs who come from hoarding situations, Joey has never been properly socialized and can be vocal when meeting new people or around other dogs. He tends to talk first with growls or warnings when he is unsure, but responds well to calm correction and guidance from experienced handlers. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet side shines through including giving affectionate kisses! One MUST HAVE for Joey is a secure fenced yard as he can leap like Superman over tall buildings with a single bound!

This clever boy will thrive with continued training, regular exercise, and a patient adopter who understands that confidence and trust take time. Joey is proof that with structure, consistency, and love, dogs can blossom into wonderful companions. A tired Joey is a happy Joey, and we know his best days are ahead of him!

If youd like to be part of Joeys continued journey by supporting him with a donation or an application then please do! And please share his story!

To date we've spent $232.47 on Joey FL's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $225 in donations.

THANK YOU TO SANDY'S FACEBOOK DONORS!
Anomymous, Kerry Rogers, Raeann Wright, Alexa Huegel, Janine Hiriluk

Update: 8/6/26

Sandy is a beautiful 5-year-old 12lb. Morkie who is being fostered in Palm Coast, FL. She is just as sweet and lovable as she looks. Sandy loves to go on walks and is quite the social butterfly and going to the beach is her absolute favorite. Sandy said dont forget to mention how much I love my belly rubs!

Sandy came into United Yorkie Rescue when her previous family had to go overseas. She needed a lot of catch-up veterinary care which United Yorkie Rescue fully provided. Her heartworm test was negative on June 4th, but she will need to be retested in 7 months as she was not on monthly preventatives. She has patellar luxation with no current clinical signs. Sandy had her spay and dental scheduled for July 29th and her pre-op bloodwork ALT values were elevated. The following day she had a bile acid test and her numbers were very high. Sandy had an appointment with an Internal Medicine Specialist the next day for a consultation and completed a Protein C blood test. The specialist suspects Sandy may have a liver shunt and to get a definitive answer we scheduled a CT scan for the following week. The Protein C blood test along with her other blood tests and CT scan confirmed Sandy does have a liver shunt. We have a consultation with the surgeon next week and then the liver shunt surgery will be scheduled.

We are so thankful Sandy came to United Yorkie Rescue so we can get her the care she needs to feel better. Sandy has a long road ahead and her foster mom is going to be by her side every step of the way. Can you help us help Sandy? Every single gift, no matter how small, means everything to us right now and brings Sandy closer to the life-saving surgery she needs. Thank you so much for reading, sharing this post, or donating.

We look forward to the day when Sandy can enjoy all her favorite things again. Sandy is still her happy, sweet, lovable, beautiful self and holds a special place in her foster moms heart.

update 7/6/26

Sandy is a beautiful 5-year-old 12 lb. Morkie fostered in Palm Coast, FL. Sandy came to United Yorkie Rescue when her previous family had to go overseas. She was way behind on her veterinary care and now all that has been taken care of by United Yorkie Rescue. Sandys heartworm test was negative, but since she was not on any monthly preventatives she will need to have another heartworm test done in 7 months. She has her spay and dental scheduled for July 29th and after she recovers will be ready for her forever home.

Sandy must be adopted locally to where she is being fostered in Palm Coast as she gets anxious in the car. Foster mom has been taking Sandy on short trips to get her used to being in the car. Sandy LOVES to say hi to her dog friends on walks at the park and goes on her hind legs when she sees a dog and hops over to them with her tail going a mile a minute and it is the cutest thing. This sweet, social butterfly loves making doggie friends at the park, but at the end of the day, Sandy is looking for someone who is home most of the day and thrives on being your one and only in the household soaking up all your attention, cuddles and love. Belly rubs are her absolute favorite and oh does she have the softest fur ever! She has a lot of fun playing with toys, especially the squeaky ones.

Sandy enjoys having a fenced in backyard to run around and explore and we promised her she would have one in her forever home, but she must also go on walks daily as this truly makes her happy. She has the most adorable bouncy walk and you can see the pure joy radiating from her. Sandy is the perfect little girl to take in her stroller to BJs, PetSmart and anywhere dogs are allowed or even if you want to bring her out to eat. Sandy is so admired by many people who constantly approach her just to say hello, and she brings so much joy to everyone around her and makes people smile. Sandy is an incredibly lovable, sweet, beautiful little girl who holds a very special place in her foster moms heart. We are looking for a forever family who will cherish her just as deeply.

Update 6/7/26

Sandy, fka Tootsie, is a gorgeous 5 year old, 12lb Morkie. She came into United Yorkie Rescue when her mom got transferred overseas and could not take Sandy with her. Sandy has had a busy few days since coming into United Yorkie Rescue. She had a 3 hour car ride to her foster home. Sandy was way behind on her veterinary care. She is now all up to date on her vaccinations, blood work, fecal screening, urinalysis and on monthly preventatives with no health issues noted. Sandys heartworm test was negative, but since she was not on monthly preventatives, she will need to have another heartworm test done in 7 months. Her spay and dental will be scheduled shortly. Sandy had a spa day and was a perfect little girl. I can now see those beautiful eyes of hers and she has the softest fur.

Although Sandy has only been in her foster home for 4 days, her foster mom can tell you that she is a beautiful, very sweet, lovable, happy girl who LOVES belly rubs always flopping on her back. She even sleeps on her back a lot with her paws up in the air and it is the cutest thing to watch. Sandy sleeps soundly through the night and in the morning her tail wags so fast when her foster mom says, Good morning Sandy. She is having a fun time exploring the backyard and running around. She is so happy out on her walks and does the cutest bouncy walk and makes people smile. Sandys foster mom adores her and is excited to take Sandy to all the places she enjoys walking and getting to know this precious little girl who already holds a special place in her heart.

Teddy FL

Teddy is a 5lb, 6-7 yr old, male Biewer Terrier being fostered in Stuart, FL

Initial Bio:7/28/26

United Yorkie Rescue received a call from our local vet last evening asking for help with a dog named Teddy, who arrived in very rough shape.

Teddy was confiscated during a hoarding case where authorities removed him and over 98 other animals from a house in deplorable conditions. The home had no air conditioning, and most of the animals were crated and left in their own urine and feces. As a result, Teddy's fur was completely urine-soaked. Yet, he remains sweet and wants to give kisses.

He has never been seen by a vet before and will require significant medical care, including being neutered, vaccinated, and undergoing a dental procedure with extractions. Of course, we agreed to take him in.

We will keep everyone updated as this little one starts to feel better and we get to know him.

To date we've spent $983.77 on Teddy FL's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $681 in donations.

For more information, contact my foster parents at: yorkiesrj2006@gmail.com.

Toto

Toto is A 9 Year old 5.5 LB yorkie boy being fostered ln Palm Coast, FL

Update: 7/11/26

Toto is a very smart, well-behaved, sweet little character. He has a big personality that shines through the moment you meet him, and his adorable ways of communicating will keep you laughing.

Toto is TRULY the definition of a lap dog and loves nothing more than being near his human. If you are looking for a cuddle bug who gives lots of kisses, he is your guy! He is highly affectionate and would not be happy being left home alone on a regular basis.

Toto has no teeth, likely due to past dental neglect or breed characteristics, which means his little tongue is often sticking out. It only adds to his cuteness and does not impede his excellent appetite. He eats wet food and small, soft snacks, preferring beef as chicken upsets his stomach. You may just need to stir his food halfway through to help him finish.

He knows his name and comes when called, especially for car rides. He is house-trained, knows his manners, and will let you know when it is time to go outside. While he knows how to walk on a leash, he prefers short outings in the yard. A fenced in yard would be great.

Toto gets along well with other dogs and frequently initiates play like a puppy. For his safety due to his small size, he would do best with another small (under 20lbs) dog.

Toto is currently being fostered in Palm Coast and is waiting for his forever family. If you are looking for an adorable companion with a big personality and a lot of love to give, please fill out an application today to make this little guy's dreams come true!

Update:6/20/26

Say hello to the cutest little man on the planet! Toto is nine years young and a happy boy who loves being with his person at all times. He is a true "snuggle bunny" who enjoys physical contact and giving plenty of kisses. He also loves car rides and outings.

Toto gets along well with other pups his size and would prefer a home with a playmate, as he frequently initiates playtime throughout the day. He also loves to eat! While he has lost all of his teeth due to past neglect or breed characteristics, this does not hinder his appetite. Mealtime is his favorite time, though you will need to stir his food halfway through to help him finish. His hanging tongue doesnt impede him at allit only makes him cuter.

If you are looking for a loving, lifelong companion, Toto is your man. Please fill out an application at the link below or email his foster Mom with any questions.

Initial Bio 5/11/26: Toto may be tiny, but this little guy has a BIG personality and an even BIGGER heart! At just 5.5 pounds, this adorable 9-year-old Yorkie boy is being fostered in Palm Coast, Florida, and hes hoping his perfect forever family is out there waiting for him.

Toto came to United Yorkie Rescue from a loving owner who could no longer care for him. While this sweet little man is understandably adjusting to lots of change, his former owner says he is incredibly smart, loving, and full of charm. Toto does have some anxiety, so he would do best in a calm, adult-only home where life is peaceful and predictable. Another calm, confident doggy companion could also help show Toto that the world isnt such a scary place.

One look at Toto and you'll instantly fall in love. He has ZERO teeth left, which means his tiny tongue is almost always peeking out and honestly, it only makes him MORE adorable! His little tongue out smile is impossible to resist and perfectly matches his quirky, lovable personality. He absolutely LOVES his person and wants to be with them at all times. He also LOVES being outside where he can sniff and explore.

Toto is house trained and will let you know when it's time to go potty. Right now, hes also being treated for a nasty ear infection, but we expect that to be cleared up soon and are happily accepting applications in the meantime.

This tiny senior boy deserves a soft place to land, gentle hands, and someone who will love him exactly as he is tongue out, anxiety and all. And once Toto trusts you? Youll have a devoted little shadow and best friend for life.

To date we've spent $1449.03 on Toto's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $540 in donations.

Tucker

Tucker is a 5-year-old Yorkie who weighs 8lbs and is being fostered near Palm Coast FL.

Update: 6/19/26

We are so excited to find a wonderful forever home for Tucker, a sweet and gentle soul who just loves being around people, especially women. After spending a bit too much time on his own previously, we are looking for a loving family where he can truly feel like part of the pack.

"Tuck" is such a bright boy and would be delighted to have a small furry sibling to play with! He is the perfect companion for road trips and would thrive with someone who can spend lots of quality time with him. Hes also looking for a patient, kind owner to help him finish learning his house manners. He is also quite clever and will sneak out right behind you before you know it.

If you have space in your heart for this affectionate pup, he will surely fill your life with so much joy. Wed love for you to fill out an application at the link below or reach out to his foster mom with any questions.

Initial Bio

5/3/2026:

It was a difficult decision for Tuckers mom had to make. Tucker, a 5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, is looking for a new forever home where he can receive the time, attention, and companionship he truly deserves.

Today has been busy. Started with a car ride to airport in Clearwater. A nice gentleman took me on an adventure in a small plane. I have to admit it wasnt the best adventure for me. I dont think I like flying. I landed in Palm Coast where a really nice lady picked me up and took me home she gave me a bath and got me all cleaned up. I need a nap now

Mom tells us Tucker is a sweet little guy who forms a strong bond with his person. He loves going for walks, staying close to his humans, and thrives in a calm, structured environment. Hes happiest when hes simply by your side.

Tucker would do best in a home where someone is around more oftenwhether thats a retiree, work-from-home household, or someone looking for the perfect side kick.

To date we've spent $1845.52 on Tucker's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1400 in donations.

Fiona Skye

Kentucky

Fiona Skye

Welcome Fiona Skye, a tiny 5 lb, soon to be 4 year-old Yorkie girl being fostered in Lexington, KY.

Update 8/10/26

Fiona has been a UYR girlie for 3.5 weeks now and WHAT A TRANSFORMATION she has undergone! No longer is her tiny little body riddled with multiple infections (eye, ear, skin, urine, mouth) and intestinal parasites (tape worms, hook worms). Her skin no longer bears the dark, thick coating of untreated fungus and her hair regrowth is now in full swing. We had a couple of concerns that needed to be addressed before she could proceed with scheduling her spay and dental procedures. One was an echocardiogram and we learned that Fiona has a grade 2/3 heart murmur but the specialist did not feel that she needs medication at this time but did recommend annual echocardiograms for her going forward. Secondly, in addition to anemia Fionas cortisol levels were very low so her vet had suspicions that she might have Addisons disease so she had an ACTH uptake test which came back negative: HOORAY! Fiona is now clear for anesthesia and her dental is scheduled for August 8th and her spay for September 3rd. We anticipate she will be ready for adoption in late September if all goes well. Additionally, Fiona has been diagnosed with chronic dry eye syndrome and will need to be on prescription eye drops twice daily for life. It will take MONTHS for her hair to grow back but we are confident it will resume all of its former glory in time.

Lets talk about Fionas personality! She is feisty and playful and loves to play tug-o-war with her 14 lb Yorkie brother who weighs almost 3 times what she does. And she wins! Fiona may be small but in her little mind she is a BIG DOG and she likes to act LARGE AND IN CHARGE! If she is with foster mom and others approach she will let them know they are NOT INVITED with a warning growl. We are working on learning to share attention, affection and toys. It is a work in progress. Fiona is a very IN-DOOR-SY girl. She dislikes going outside to go potty or anything that involves her feet getting wet and much prefers using a potty pad. She is not completely house-trained but will use a potty pad MOST of the time. She will also go where she isnt supposed to but is improving daily. Fiona LOVES her food. She will eat hers and also try to eat her foster siblings if not supervised. She is a great little traveler and does well in the car. She also likes being toted around in her little pouch that foster mom uses. She HATES baths which is problematic since she still needs her medicated baths every three days. That wont last too much longer and Fiona will be glad! At present bathing Fiona is like trying to hold onto a vibrating greased potato with legs that is wiggling and squirming at about 20,000 RPMs. She loves sleeping in bed with her humans and getting TONS OF ATTENTION. Fionas forever home wish list includes

-No small children

-Humans who are home more than not

-Doggy steps to access furniture and beds

-Constant supervision and attendance when she is outside and off leash. She is like a mouse that can squeeze through ANY FENCE that isnt solid and buried at the bottom.

-Another small dog to play with and teach her how to share

-Someone who will be diligent in keeping her on her twice daily eye drop regimen and can afford annual echocardiograms to monitor her heart murmur

-A plus if you are an experienced tiny dog pawrent

Fiona will still be with us another 8-10 weeks but we can see light at the end of her tunnel and the future is looking VERY BRIGHT! Fiona is SO GRATEFUL for the outpouring of love and support from so many of you! Getting her to a healthy, adoptable condition is taking lots of time and resources so a giant THANK YOU to everyone out there on TEAM FIONA! SHE WOOFS YOU ALL! Please continue to like, share and donate.

Bio Update 7/20/26

Fiona has been a UYR girlie for a whopping 10 days now. FYI, Fiona wont be ready for adoption for several weeks to months. A week ago today she had her very first Vet visit. It lasted two whole hours. And since she has never seen a vet ever we had a lot of catching up to do. Her abdomen was noted to be larger than her chest. Since she came from a former breeder, anything including pregnancy was possible so we had an abdominal ultrasound which was thankfully negative for puppies. A stool sample revealed the culprits; hook worms and tape worms that were literally draining her little body of blood. Fiona is anemic and the intestinal parasites are believed to be the source. Her Hematocrit should be over 40. It was 28. Her skin was full of fungal overgrowth leaving her essentially bald from the shoulders down. But the anti-fungal baths, medicated wipes and oral antifungal meds are helping along with low dose prednisone and Cytopoint to keep her from scratching. Her ears are pretty bad, they are bilaterally infected so she gets oral antibiotics, ear flush and antibiotic ear drops twice daily. Her little eyes were also infected and crusty with corneal ulcerations in her left eye noted. She gets antibiotic eye ointment and lubricating gel twice daily. Last week the general Vet felt Fiona had a grade 2 heart murmur. At her recheck today the internal medicine Vet listened and felt like its closer to a grade 4 and said she really needs a cardiology consult before we think about a dental or a spay to make sure Fionas heart is able to safely undergo anesthesia. Her echocardiogram is set for tomorrow. Her mouth is in need of attention as she has really bad breath and multiple decaying teeth. She also has multiple retained deciduous teeth that are causing overcrowding so that will be addressed in the future. Fiona is not spayed, she has likely been a Momma in the past but never again so once her anemia resolves and her skin has is healthy enough to heal a surgical incision she will be spayed. Fiona had never been vaccinated so last week she began with a rabies vaccine which is required by law here. We are starting slow and spacing these out due to her small size and compromised immunity. One vaccination every two weeks is the plan until she is up to date.

For all of Fionas challenges, she is still full of spunk and now that shes starting to feel a little bit better it is GAME ON! The first few days she mostly slept but about day 4 her ACTIVATE button got pushed and has been on ever since. She loves to play toy tug-o-war with her fur brother who weighs three times as much as her and she WINS! She is also a night owl and she likes to go into party mode each night around 9:30 PM. All present must participate. She will get right up in anyones grill if they are not in the mood. Its hard not to laugh. After shes tired of playing she LOVES to snuggle up in her LOLA blanket and drift off to sleep. She is not a fan of going outside to go potty but shes getting pretty good about using a potty pad. She is also quite vocal and she loves to bark at nothing and make sure her presence is known! In short; Fiona is a HOT MESS medically but so stinking adorable that none of that matters! Fiona wants to express her love and gratitude to United Yorkie Rescue and ALL OF YOU HER ADORING FAN BASE for saving her and making all her boo-boos feel better.

Initial Bio 7/10/26

Meet Fiona Skye, a tiny 5-pound Yorkshire Terrier who will soon celebrate her 4th birthday. Fiona is being fostered in Lexington, Kentucky, after being lovingly welcomed into United Yorkie Rescue as an owner surrender.

Its hard to imagine now, but Fiona was once a beautiful parti-colored Yorkie with a stunning tri-colored coat. Sadly, untreated skin disease has stolen both her comfort and her confidence. Most of her coat is gone, she scratches constantly, and her little body is covered with painful sores and hot spots. She is uncomfortable, exhausted, and clearly hasnt received the veterinary care she desperately needed.

On Monday morning, Fiona begins the first step of her journey to a better life. Shell receive a comprehensive veterinary exam, blood work, a full skin evaluation, and treatment to finally bring her some much-needed relief. Once her skin is healthy enough, shell need to be spayed. Despite being only four years old, her teeth are already in terrible condition, so a dental procedure with likely extractions is also ahead.

Fionas transformation wont happen overnight. It will take months of specialized veterinary care, medications, patience, and lots of love before shes ready to find the forever home she deserves.

The good news? Fiona is finally safe. Shell never have to suffer alone again.

Now she needs a team of compassionate people to stand beside her. Every donationlarge or smallhelps provide the medical care, medications, diagnostics, and surgeries that will give Fiona the healthy, happy life every dog deserves.

Together, we can help this sweet little girl grow her beautiful coat back, heal her broken skin, and remind her what it feels like to be loved. Thank you for being part of Fionas journey.

To date we've spent $1266.01 on Fiona Skye's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1301.03 in donations.

THANK YOU TO SPANKY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Spanky

Spanky is a 11year old (estimated) Yorkie mix boy who weighs 10.5 lbs. He is being fostered near Elizabethtown, KY.

Update 06/12/26

Spanky is a loving little companion whose favorite place is right beside his person. Whether he's curled up next to you on the couch, snuggled beside you in bed, or following you from room to room, Spanky is happiest when he's close to the one he loves. In fact, on a chilly night, this little guy doubles as a very effective personal heating blanket!

Spanky gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and has been gentle with his foster family's young grandchildren. While he enjoys canine company, he prefers not to share his favorite person's attention and would truly thrive as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and affection for himself.

Spanky uses a doggy door and is making progress with his house-training, but he will need a patient adopter who can continue helping him learn that potty time belongs outside. He also requires daily eye lubricant to keep his eyes comfortable and prevent crusting.

If you're looking for a devoted little shadow who will love you with his whole heart and happily keep you company day and night, Spanky may be the perfect match.

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.

7/24/26 Initial Bio: Hi everyone,

My name is Joey, and I wanted to introduce myself. I just joined the Stickhorse Ranch Krewe in McKinney on July 21.

A kind family found me wandering in their neighborhood and took me in to keep me safe. After searching for my owners and checking for a microchip, they contacted UYR to help find my forever home, and my foster mom picked me up the next morning.

I am a very happy, affectionate, and house-trained "Velcro dog." I love everyone and even do a happy dance at mealtime.

I have already visited the vet, where I tested negative for heartworms, received my microchip, and started my vaccinations and preventatives. I am also scheduled to be neutered on August 11.

My foster family and I will update my biography as we get to know each other better.

Lily Grace

Meet Lily Grace, a precious 3 year old, 7 pound Yorkie girl who is Heartworm Positive. She is being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 7/15/2026

On July 13th, Lily Grace successfully completed her first Melarsomine injection to begin killing her heartworms. In true Lily fashion, she handled the procedure like a total champion and came out with her tail wagging! Her resilience is truly inspiring.

The road to heartworm recovery requires patience and care. The injection is a deep muscle procedure, so Lily will be a little sore for a few more days. She is on a strict 30-day "rest regimen" to ensure her heart rate remains calm as her body heals and prepares for the next round.

While our main focus now is on the heartworm treatment, the doctor had some additional news for us. Lily's latest labs show her liver counts are continuing to improve, and she has officially gained a "full pound of love" since coming to UYR! Lily is clearly on the right path!

Thank you for being part of her journey. Please continue to support and keep Lily Grace in your prayers. Additional updates will be shared when her next round of treatments get underway!

Update Update 6/15/2026:

If you saw the early rescue pictures of Lily Grace, you may not recognize her today! She is making wonderful progress! Her recent blood work results came back as the vet hoped, with some counts even exceeding expectations. Signs that her liver is continuing to improve and handling the heartworm treatment well. Weve introduced a liver supplement to keep everything on track, and with her appetite finally stabilizing, she is successfully starting to gain some weight.

Lily Grace is showing more confidence and personality everyday. Still a snuggly and affectionate little girl, she's now becoming curious and playful. Her eyes are brighter, her hair is shinier, and her ears stand up a little taller (even the ear that doesn't stand up!).

If you read the earlier bios, you know this is a marathon not a sprint. We are a few miles in and feeling incredibly optimistic, but we still have a long road ahead. Lily's next milestone is a heartworm injection on July 13th. Until then, she'll get all the snuggles and food she can handle.

We are so grateful for the love and support we've received for Lily Grace. Please keep sending your support and prayers, and we will keep you updated on her journey!

Update 5/20/26: Thank you for all the prayers, donations, and love sent for precious Lily Grace. After extensive testing, treatment, and monitoring, Lily is officially stable and resting her paws in her foster home!

Lily is pure joycomplete with a wagging tail and bright, soulful eyes. She is the perfect snuggle companion and will dance on her back legs to say "hi" or ask to be picked up. Gentle and sweet, it's clear she was always supposed to be part of a family. She's quickly learning the ropes from her foster brother and seamlessly fitting into the routines.

While her initial stability is an incredible milestone, Lilys true healing journey is just beginning. She is heartworm positive, which requires several months of intensive treatment (but we're expecting a full recovery). Once treatment is completed, she'll need to be spayed. Lily also has follow-up testing for her liver over the next several weeks, and is being treated for ear infections in both ears. BUT after enduring so much, Lily's immediate list wraps up with the best kind of medicine: a luxury day at the 's-paw' and a much-deserved mission to gain a pound of love.

Her happy spirit doesn't let anything get her down, and she has captured the hearts of her medical and foster care teams every step of the way. Please continue to pray for and support Lily Grace, and we promise to keep you updated on her journey.

Initial Bio 5/16/26: Lily Grace, a 3yr old 7lb precious baby, found herself in Dallas Animal Shelter severely ill and needing a rescue before euthanasia which was set for today. United Yorkie Rescue stepped up and went into action. Her proteins were unreadable, greater than 12 upon intake. We arranged for foster and immediate care with Dallas Veterinary Emergency Group. She is receiving care as I write this. Lily most definitely has issues with her liver. We could possibly be looking at a possible liver shunt. The ER will pull bile acids tonight, among all the other treatments they have on board. Please consider a donation for this precious angel. Donations can be made through Zelle at uyrtreasurer@yahoo.com or as a guest by touching our donate button on our website at www.uyr.us. We have submitted a $4000 plus deposit for her upfront care. Bless you all and thank you! If you cannot donate, please share as others may be touched as well.

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

Update 6/28/26: Wow, can you believe summer is here already? It feels like ages since foster mom has updated my bio.

Just like before, you know Im heartworm positive, and we are taking care of it. I have become quite the mamas girl, always following Foster mom around. I have some amazing ears because she cant leave the any room without me, even if she thinks Im asleep!

Im not a huge snuggler and rarely sleep in the bed, but I do love to sleep in all the beds tucked away in the rooms around here. FM calls me Goldilocks because I keep moving from one bed to another. I dont play with toys much and Im not a kisser, but I do love to lie next to you when were watching TV.

I am a pretty easy-going girl. I dont play with toys much, but I do love to play with other dogs that like to play, like little Jolie. Im really looking forward to Miss Penelopes puppies when theyre old enough to play.

I love to be in the big backyard and soak up the sun. FM has to come get me because she thinks the concrete is too hot for me to lie on

I can be a little picky with my food, but Im definitely not picky with treats. I love the dental bones, dried sardines, dehydrated beef liver cubes and biscuits. I get some pretty good treats here, for sure.

So, thats pretty much it. Im just waiting until September to take my microfilia test, and were all hoping it comes back negative so I can be adopted then. But Ill need to be spayed and possibly have a dental, so we cant give you a specific date for when I can truly be adopted by my new family.

So, until my next update, keep those pawsitive thoughts about me!

Woof,

Sweet Millie

Bio update 3/31/26: Hello gorgeous spring time. It's about time for me to let you all know what's going on in my life here at Stickhorse Ranch in Mckinney.

As in my prior biography, you know that I am heartworm positive when I first was rescued by UYR. I started my heartworm treatment. Our Dogtor says that in six months I need to get one of those heartworm test things and take another big shot. We're hoping I will be heartworm free in August but we will continue to finish the treatment being the last shot would be around February sometime.

I am still just a very chill girl here. I am not a barker. I am still working on my potty training and trying to teach Jolie that too. I am am a watcher of all things. I do have a new job though. Foster Mom has two new foster puppies. One of them is Pip and the other one is Jolie. On day two of Jolie must've being here she must thought I was a mommy and tried to nurse from me. I let her know that we will not be doing any of that with a grrrr. Well since after that, she's adopted me as her surrogate mom so I kinda adopted her as my surrogate daughter. We play a lot together, games like chase outside/inside and tug-of-war and I'm gonna steal what you have and I know you're gonna try and steal it back games. She is one busy little girl and I do get exhausted. I am so gentle with her, but I am teaching her that biting is not a nice thing and both foster mom and I try and redirect her into chewy or yak bones. Her teeth are really sharp. I forgot how sharp puppy teeth were! I am a very healthy girl.

I need to finish my heartworm treatment and get spayed. So if you have any questions about me, please feel free to reach out to my fabulous foster mom stickhors@gmail.com PS my direct application link is at the bottom of my bio.

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 $1357.45 on Millie TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $525 in donations.

For more information, contact my foster parents at: stickhors@gmail.com.

Penelope

Meet Penelope, a sweetheart of a Yorkie mix girl who is 4 years old and weighs in at a healthy 18 pounds. She is being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 7/17/26: Isnt life just amazing?

Yes, I had my puppies on July 8, 2026! They were five little bundles of joy who decided to make their grand entrance early in the morning, around 12:15 AM.

Heres a little bit about each of them:

Archie, the big guy, is the firstborn and weighed nine and 1/8 ounces. Hes now up to 14 1/2 ounces on July 16. Hes a lovely mix of brown and white.

Noah, the second pup, was born weighing eight and three-quarter ounces and is now 13 ounces.

Punkin, the third one, came in at 8 3/8 ounces and is now 13 ounces.

Snorkie, the fourth, was born weighing 7 1/2 ounces and is now 11 1/2 ounces.

Pipsqueak, my last little one, weighed 6 3/4 ounces at birth and is now 10 7/8 ounces.

So, Im going to be busy for a while nursing them and then weaning them, teaching them all the basics of being a good dog. After theyre weaned and my milk has dried up, Ill get spayed so I wont have any more puppies ever again. WOO HOO, thats really exciting!

Once all my little ones start showing their personalities, FM will be able to begin their biographies, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I want to tell you that Im the perfect mother. Im taking very good care of my babies, as you can see by their weight gain.

Well, thats my exciting news. I can hardly wait to introduce my little ones to the UYR family and friends.

Stay tuned,

Penelope, Archie, Noah, Snorkie, Punkin and Pipsqueak.

06/28/2026 Update: Hi everyone! Its Penelope here, and I wanted to give you a quick update as we kick off our summer in Texas.

Ive just moved to Stickhorse Ranch in McKinney to my new foster home. Im still getting used to everythingthe other fosters, the residential dog, and this huge, fenced-in yard that Im loving to explore, even if Im still getting the hang of it!

So, you can call me Mama Penelope, as Im expecting some little pups. When I went to the vet for Foster Moms check-up, they did a radiograph, and the amazing doctor counted five little skeletons. She thought there might be one hiding behind them, so Im guessing Ill have five or maybe six puppies in a couple of weeks.

Ive been showing off my personality little by little here. Im a very sweet girl, even the vet said so. Im just starting to snuggle as I get more comfortable. Ive only picked up one toy so fara little squeaky one. I do love my yak bones, though, and Ive got strong teeth and a very strong jaw, so theyre really fun to chew on. Ive only had a couple of accidents in the house, but thats because everythings pushing up against my bladder, and sometimes its really hard to hold it in, and I havent learned how to tell everyone I need to go outside. But Im learning to follow what the other four-legged critters do here.

Right now, were all focused on making sure I get really good nutrition and that I learn where my little whelping box is, as the vet suggested it might be in two weeks when my puppies arrive. I weighed 18 pounds when UYR rescued me, and now I weigh about 23 pounds, which has to be all that puppy weight!

Thats all for now. After I have my puppies, Ill make sure Foster Mom writes a short updated bio so everyone knows how many little ones I had and how Im doing as a mama. Ive been a mama before, so were all hoping Ill be a fabulous mama again.

So, until I have my little ones, please keep me in your thoughts that I have a very safe delivery.

Ruff Penelope

Initial Bio 5/25/26: Bio 5/25/2026. Oh my goodness, I dont know where to start with Penelopes sweet and adorable personality..

Penelope came into rescue on 5/19 and from the minute she came into her foster home she shined with sweetness and so much love. We discovered after a couple of days she had an upper respiratory infection and we immediately started her medical care. The thing about Penelope is that after being in a shelter and becoming ill she never stopped being a kind gentle soul and showed us how much love and patience she has.

In my time as a foster I havent seen the most laid back, calm, sweet, snuggle bunny,

all in one baby. And after having a beautiful heart she is potty trained, but beware she is a lap baby and knows how to snuggle comfortably at night time. I cant say enough about this very laid back girl.

She gets a long with other dogs but doesnt show much interest in playing, just hanging out and following her foster mom everywhere..I am her life. She does like men but havent seen her around children.

Oh yes, hardly barks if so only for a short minute.

Penelope would love a family that is home most of the time since she is quiet and loves human company; someone that is looking for a calm, low key girl.

She is currently getting vetted and will be spayed once we are completely over her medications.

You wont be disappointed with bringing this girl into your home. Please complete the application below if you would like more information on Penelope

To date we've spent $6449.3 on Penelope's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $2095 in donations.

Pepper TX

Meet Pepper, a sweet Yorkie mix girl, 3 years old and 10 pounds being fostered in Leander, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO PEPPER'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta

Initial Bio 7/2/26: Pepper is an estimated 3 year old, 10lb girl that came to UYR with a partner (Rosie) from a local shelter. The two were found wondering together by a busy intersection and luckily a kind passerby intervened and got them to the shelter. The shelter staff reached out to UYR to ask if we could bring them into our rescue. Pepper is very healthy, with the exception of currently fighting a parasite infection. She is underweight, but has a great appetite and will be back to normal in no time. She has the cutest underbite and is the most loving and sweet little girl. She loves cuddling on the couch, giving kisses, and will follow your every step. She still has some puppy energy and likes to play with her shelter mate Rosie chasing each other around the house and yard. She is working on her potty habits, but has a good role model in her foster home to learn from. We are still getting to know her personality and she will need to be spayed prior to adoption, but should be cleared of her parasites, spayed, and fully recovered in the next few weeks. If interested in adopting her, please fill out an application and contact her fosters at uyryorkielovetx@yahoo.com with any questions.

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

Rosie TX

Meet Rosie, a sweet 3 year old, 8 pound Yorkie Mix girl being fostered in Leander, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO ROSIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Dawn Rountree, DeAnn Deutsch

Initial Bio 7/2/26: Rosie is estimated to be 3 years old and weighs 8lbs. She came to UYR with a partner (Pepper) from a local shelter. The two were found wondering together by a busy intersection and luckily a kind passerby intervened and got them to the shelter where we were requested to bring them in to UYR. Rosie was severely matted and underweight when she got to her fosters home. We got her to the vet for her bloodwork and vaccinations the next day and then had to schedule a sedated grooming to remove all of her mats. She is feeling a little self-conscious now due to missing most of her luxurious coat, but it will grow back in quickly. Rosie is super sweet and loves cuddling in any lap that will allow it and is like a shadow around the house. She has a great appetite and should gain some weight to regain her normal figure. She will need to be spayed and recover prior to adoption, but that should all happen in the next few weeks. She loves playing with her foster sibling, Pepper, and also enjoys her down time resting in her bed or your lap. If interested in adopting her, please fill out an application and contact her fosters at uyryorkielovetx@yahoo.com with any questions.

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

Initial Bio 7/16/26: Hi Everyone!! My name is Simba and I AM ADORABLE and TINY! I have a big name and my heart is just as big. I was surrendered by a loving family that had to move and travel so they wanted what was best for me. So here I am. I have completed my vetting and so now it is time to find my forever ever home.

I am shy at first, but just hold me and I will melt in your arms. I'll also give you kisses. I love to be loved and petted and love snuggles. I love to sleep with my human too. I am afraid of storms so be ready to let me get really close under the covers. I can eat too!! I am small but boy I can put away the food. I love the yard and walking in the grass. I am good around children, but my foster mom isn't sure if I like kids that get loud and play crazy loud. I am learning to like this toy my foster mom keeps throwing ...so I might really like them after my mouth feels better from my recent dental.

If you think you can give me love and spoil me, I really would like to have that kind of home...but please fill out the application below because I AM ADORABLE!

Adoption Pending
