Griffin
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.

Scooter
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.

Zoe
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
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
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!

Browny
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!

Leigh
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...

 Lambchop now has his very own Lambchop - sweet!

Lambchop
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.

Millie
2/24/17: 2/5/17 Sweet Millie was adopted today. She needed to be in an all adult home because her foster parents knew she didn't like kids. She was rescued by one group and adopted into a family. Then little Millie was returned because she was not happy being in home with children. The rescue decided she needed to go to another rescue, one that primary dealt with yorkies. When United Yorkie Rescue took her in her foster parents were going to make sure this time she was going to be adopted into the right home. No kids, an adult female in the home, and if possible no men since she seemed to only like woman (they could only wonder what a man did to her in her past to make her so fearful of men), and someone who could be home with her a lot of the time. She is fine with dogs her size, but not big dogs. This seemed like such a tall order for such a sweet little girl, but hooray for Millie, the perfect family was out there. Today they made Millie their forever and ever pup. Millie now has a new forever home with two stay at home moms, a nice fenced yard, and an older little fur sister to be her new best fur friend. They already love her so much and Millie knows this is the home she was always meant to have. Happy forever after, Millie. You're home at last.

Rosie
2-24-17 Rosie went from the shelter where her former owners left her because they were moving and couldn't take her with them, to her forever home today. She couldn't believe she ended up in the shelter of all places. Not a sweet dog like her. But she didn't' stay long. United Yorkie Rescue came and got her out of there. She went to her wonderful foster home where she received love and care. But best of all it wasn't long before this sweet girl found her perfect forever home. She will never ever be alone again in a shelter or anywhere else. She has a stay at home mom and dad and some fur friends to play with. In fact one of her fur brother is a former UYR dog and they are just the same size, they even look alike. Rosie has a nice fenced yard and the perfect home full of doggie beds, doggie toys, and lots and lots of love and kisses.
