3-29-17 Today the best dog in the world went to his forever home. Zozo made everyone who met him smile and laugh. He is so just full of love and life and fun and craziness. Zozo needed a home where he could run and play with another dog in a fenced yard. He wanted a mom and dad who would be around all the time because he loves his people so much, and that is exactly what he got. Zozo had a rough start in life. He ended up on the streets full of ticks and then was most likely hit by a car. When he ended up in the shelter he was totally paralyzed and was 30 minutes away from being euthanized until finally his angel came and saved him and took him immediately to the vet clinic. It was there that they discovered he was covered in ticks, which caused the paralysis. After the vet removed over 100 ticks Zozo was able to start on his long road to recovery. He has severe nerve damage to his left shoulder that cannot be repaired. This has caused him to not walk well on his left front leg. Zozo spent a month at the vet clinic recovering before finally coming to his United Yorkie Rescue foster home. After another month of recovery he found his perfect and final forever home. He will be so loved and so happy there. It is everything this sweet boy ever dreamed of and needed to make his not so good life into a wonderful perfect life. Zozo deserves all the love and happiness that will be coming his way. Zozo's foster mom and dad, who will miss him, are so happy that this special pup will have a wonderful happily ever after life.

3-26-17 Coco Bean went to her new forever home today. They have promised little Coco Bean that she will never ever be homeless again. They promised to love her and care for her and cherish her for her whole life. This sweet baby who started her life as one of 27 dogs taken out of a hoarding situation found herself homeless once again after her first adoption didn't work out. Her new mom was not able to keep her. But it wasn't long before Coco Bean found her true forever home. Her new mom and dad knew right away that Coco Bean was the right dog for them and that she was meant to be theirs forever. This sweet, adorable little girl has found her forever home and this time it will be forever.l

3/18/16 On New Year's Eve Pepper was found wandering the streets and was picked up by Animal Control. It was not the best place to be on New Years, but at least she was off the streets, being fed, and was warm and safe. They could see she was having a great deal of trouble waking. It was discovered that she had a shattered hip and two broken legs. Once UYR rescued her she promptly saw the orthopedic surgeon. It was determined that Pepper's injuries were months old, and she was not a candidate for corrective surgery. Because medical intervention was not given at the time of injury, the bones did not heal correctly, which has resulted in Pepper having a significant limp. The vet told her foster parents that when this accident occured she must have been in terrible pain. Poor Pepper. But at least she is no longer in pain and the gimpy limp has not slowed pretty Pepper down by any means. Although she is not one to run around she does love being outdoors and roaming free in the fenced backyard. Her foster parents knew that Pepper needed a home where she would be loved and accepted exactly as she is. Today Pepper found that perfect forever home with her perfect forever mom. When Pepper went to meet her new mom and get adopted there were balloons on the mailbox and new doggie toys and beds inside just waiting to welcome Pepper. It was like Christmas and her birthday all rolled into one wonderful day. Pepper has everything she will ever need or want. A wonderful home, a fenced yard for sunning and roaming, lots and lots of toys and doggie beds, and the best forever mom anyone could want. Never again will she be on the streets alone. She has a home now and it's forever.

3/18/17 Hooray for sweet Honey. She was adopted today. Honey's former family was no longer able to care for her and she was sadly surrendered to United Yorkie Rescue. It didn't take long for her foster family to know that Honey lived up to her name, she is as sweet as honey and as lovable as could be. Honey needed a home wth an active life. As much as she loves to cuddle she also would not be happy being a couch potato. Honey now has a real boy to play with her, and we all know how much boys like to play. She also has an older fur brother. Her new forever home has a really nice fenced yard and Honey and her fur brother and especially her human brother will have a great time in the backyard running and playing and Honey will be having the time of her life.

3/17/17/ Griffin was adopted today. It took a while and two surgeries on his hip, but finally Griffin was adopted into his perfect family. His new mom loved him from the second she saw his picture on Looking for Love and knew he just had to be her forever baby. Griffin's first owner was a breeder. His second owner rescued him from this breeder when she saw him hanging Griffin by a chain around his neck. She took him and cared for him until he sustained a hip injury and she could no longer afford his care. That is when she contacted United Yorkie Rescue to come save this sweet boy. Griffin needed to have his displaced hip surgically repaired and recovery was a long, slow process. Finally he was well enough to be adopted and it was such a happy day. His new mom and his new fur brother are so happy to welcome Griffin into their family forever.

3/17/17 Scooter went to his forever home today. Scooter found himself in the shelter scared and alone. While there he was so fearful the shelter thought he had seizure. He was released right away into the care of United Yorkie Rescue. While at his foster home he was well taken care of and there was not a hint of a seizure ever. He did have issues with crystals in his urine. It took a few months to get that under control with proper diet and an acidifier to balance his pH levels. His foster parents knew this adorable, sweet boy had found his true forever home when they saw how much his new Mommy and Daddy loved him from the first minute they saw him. There were tons of cuddles and kisses and hugs. They knew that Scooter will need to be monitored for crystals always and they were okay with doing whatever he needed. They have given Scooteer a wonderful home with a wonderful fenced yard and playmates in the neighborhood. Scooter is getting so much love and so much care. No dog could ask for a better home to spend his forever and ever days. Happy Tails little Scooter. Home at last.

3/14/17 Adyn was adopted today. He will be "living the life" in a California beach town, enjoying daily walks to the beach, with his new fur sister, Roxy, and of course, his new Mommy.

3-13-17 Stanley the adorable puppy was adopted today. He has the most perfect forever home. There is another puppy just his size and age and they have done nothing but play and play and play with each other. He also has a stay at home mommy and an older fur sister who likes to watch the fun. Stanley could not have found a more perfect home for himself. Everything a puppy could need or want Stanley now has. Hooray for Stanley.

Puppy and new family

3/12/17: Puppy found his forever home today with a new mom and dad and a yorkie sister.

Zoe and new family

3-12-17 Zoe the sweet puppy was adopted today. This adorable not even 2 year old dog needed a quieter home with no young children around to scare her. She also needed another young dog to play with and a mom and dad who would be home with her. To make is all perfect she would loved a fenced yard for running and sunning and playing. Today sweet Zoe's wishes all came true. She has a fur sister just about her age, a stay at home mommy and daddy, and a perfect fenced yard just made for puppy fun. Zoe has found her forever home and it is sure is her dream come true.

Skylar was up at the crack of dawn this morning to race his way into furever. And Here he sits with his mom and dad, and new brother Cash. Skylar will be RV'in in style, as his new digs comes with a RV that has a doggy window just so he can look out while he's traveling about, and a pull out food tray too for his dining pleasure! When Skylar comes home off the trail, he'll be spending a delightful time in his beautiful home, with his own doggy door, that leads out to this beautiful deck where the lovely swing is located, and down to the beautiful lush green grass of the wonderful privacy fenced yard where he and Cash can romp and play. He will spend his days and nights in the company of all pictured here as his sweet new mom whispers "furever" in his ear. Both mom and dad are retired and spend their time between home and their RV travels. Happy Trails Skylar, as you are certainly assured a life time of Happy Tails!!!!!

Georgia and new dad

Georgia has been adopted, and she's living the good life! Her journey from a Los Angeles shelter to a new home in Austin was aided by many hands, from those who brought her to our attention, to the people who pulled her, to those who temporarily fostered her, and to the one who let her hitch a ride on his flight! It couldn't have happened for a sweeter pup. She's as precious as they come!

Scarlett and new mom

3/10/17: Scarlett, a 12 pound 16 year-old yorkie found herself in a shelter and without a home when her owner passed away. She is a silky terrier, which is a close cousin to the yorkshire terrier, displaying a shorter, stockier build and a longer nose. After a couple of months with her foster mom and the help of United Yorkie Rescue, today, 03/10/17, Scarlett has found her forever home. This family's Maltese of 12 years passed away last summer, and they are ready to love again. Congratulations Scarlett and a million thanks to her new family.

Browny, a 4-year-old, 10 lb. little man found himself at home alone for long periods of time, so his mom felt it best to find him the perfect home with the help of UYR. Therefore, she tearfully surrendered him to UYR, who did not disappoint. Today, after only a few weeks in foster care, Browny eagerly headed off to his forever home!

3/5/17 Leigh was adopted today. Little Leigh came to UYR in desperate need of some TLC. After a spa day and a dental, she blossomed into a beautiful little girl. Leigh went to her forever mommy and daddy who are both retired and can spend their days doting on their precious new furbaby. They were so excited to see her that they had her picture in their phone already. Leigh took to her new family and was already exploring her new home as soon as she got there. It always makes us happy to see when these pups just somehow know they are finally home...

Morgan and new mom

3/3/17 Morgan was adopted today. Hooray for Morgan!! Morgan found his forever home. He has wonderful new mom who couldn't love a pup more than she loves him. She met him and knew he just had to be hers forever and ever. Morgan now has the best stay at home mom and dad who will let him share their bed and their life always. Morgan will be cuddled and adored the rest of his life.

Poco and new family

From abandoned to adored, Spencer has his own fur ever fan club to love him all of his days! Happy Tails Spencer!

Lambchop now has his very own Lambchop - sweet!

03/31/2017: Here's an update from Lambchop's proud owner - this makes UYR proud to be part of this precious dog's rescue/rehab/re-homing. Sweet!

From Lambchop's adoptive parent: Let me take a chance to thank you and the staff at UYR.for blessing me with Lambchop he is an amazing puppy. I dont have the words to explain the joy he has brought to my life and home. I also want to commend his foster mommy Susan as I am a first time pet owner/mommy her knowledge and continued support has been invaluable.

Lambchop loves our walks and barking at anyone who comes near the drive way and then giving them highfives lol. He also enjoys rolling in the grass in his yard. He has made several friends at our local dog park. He is not so sure about the water at the beach but he loves rolling in the sand and chasing birds. An example of what a loving puppy he is....we were out and a little girl who hugs him when we walk fell off her bike her mom was there but lambchop insisted on going over to lick her face and make sure she was ok.....I love this guy/puppy.

To the UYR volunteers who helped with this rescue/rehab/re-homing - I'm not sure what I expected from this process but UYR exceeded anything I could have expected. Lambchop and I are a perfect fit. I can only hope to make him as happy as he makes me.

As for his health his vet says he is doing great. He lost another 2lbs

Please feel free to use my comment and the attached photos on your website.

People should know what great work you do.

Thank you for everything.

2/28/17 Lambchop was adopted today, and he couldn't have found a better forever home. His new mommy loved him from the minute she met him and he loved her right back. She works from home so Lambchop will never be alone. Lambchop still needs to lose some weight and his new mom loves walking, so they will go on long walks together. Walks that Lambchop loves to take. Lambchop's new mommy has promised to play with him and love and cuddle with him always. Lambchop loves to be outside and what a great fenced yard he now has. He can sun himself, and then chase any squirrel or lizard that crosses his path. Lambchop is the happiest fellow; he has found his perfect mommy forever.
