Buster

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

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

To date we've spent $986.93 on Buster's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $85 in donations.

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

Coal

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

THANK YOU TO COAL'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta

Update 1/18/26

Coal is a 7lb extremely timid little 15 month old velcro boy. He is extremely affectionate but very timid and does require security from his person. First thing in the morning, he does his zoomies when he goes outside to potty. He is as funny as can be when he runs at the speed of wind. He does seem to be housebroken and has had no accidents in the house. It is apparent that he was never socialized as a puppy and is very skittish and afraid of many things. He will run and sometimes hide under furniture if he hears a noise or anything that frightens him. Foster mom is trying to socialize him by bringing him around other small dogs at the small doggy park and also letting him interact with other humans at the park on his own terms. He is improving slowly and is starting to show a little independence by slightly walking away from his foster mom on his own. He is still afraid of most people. Cole requires a very calm and quiet household and at least one owner that is a stay at home person. He wants to be with you at all times but is learning to trust other humans. He is doing very well in his foster home with her one small female dog. If he is placed in a home with another dog, that dog will need to be around or under 15lbs or smaller. He sleeps with his foster mom in her bed as close to her as possible and may even sleep on her chest or tummy. Aside from being timid and shy, is his poor appetite and eating habits. He will go a couple of days without eating and when you can get him to eat, he sometimes has to be hand fed very small amounts like the equivalent of 5 raisins. He has been vetted and is healthy except he is on anti-nausea medication at the moment while Cole's foster mom continues to work at finding a food he will eat. She will continue to work at finding what he likes to eat so that he can be adopted into his furever home. He is so precious and we will continue to work with him until and help him to be the great little guy that he has the potential to be. Needless to say, he requires a very calm and soft spoken human that will be very patient with him to be his next mom or dad, along with a quiet, stable home with no children.

01/03/2026 Initial Bio: Coal just arrived in his new foster home. His mom could no longer care for him due to her medical issues. Coal has been loved and cared for since he was a puppy. He has had some training and loves to be with his person. Stay tuned for more information as we get to know Coal.

GiGi

THANK YOU TO GIG'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Cindy McKimm, Veronica Gonzales, Sandy Pagnotta, Robert and Wendy D'uva, Wendy Fuhrmaneck, DeAnn Deutsch, Bret Park

GiGi

GiGi is a senior terrier girl who weighs 10 pounds. Gigi is being fostered in Dunedin, FL.

Initial Bio 1/16/26

Life on the streets was not kind to this sweet senior who was found wandering by animal control and taken to the shelter. Her face was so matted she couldnt even open her mouth fully and she was covered in fleas and infested with parasites. Her fur was severely matted to the extent that it became her prison. She suffers from untreated KCS (chronic dry eye) that has left her with painful ulcers that also severely limit her vision. We can only imagine how scared this quiet gentle soul must have been wandering the streets unable to see or feed herself. GiGi may not be a Yorkie but she desperately needed rescue so when we learned about her case we reached out to the shelter. We were hoping and praying that another rescue had come for her. But after 10 days of waiting. It became apparent that NO ONE was coming for GiGi. So we came. We just picked her up from the shelter and she is so lethargic and shut down. We know pretty much nothing about her other than shes old and sick and sad and quite frankly just heart-breaking on every possible level. But no way were we going to let her last days be at the shelter so GiGi is a UYR dog now. We gave her a sweet fancy name because we believe that inside this sad, frail, little body there is a beautiful spirit just looking for a ray of hope to latch onto and that GiGi has some brighter days ahead. She will be receiving a full medical evaluation early next week and we will have a better picture of her age, condition, prognosis, etc. so please follow, share, and donate to help GiGi regain her hope, health and sparkle.

To date we've spent $499.2 on GiGi's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1216 in donations.

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

Lexi

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

Update 8/11/25:

Hi, Lexi here! Just checking in. What have yall been up to this summer? I have mostly been hanging in the house or running and playing in the back yard or going on car rides. Foster mommy says its just to hot outside and if I go for a walk which I love, I might burn the bottoms of my paws. I can be a bit hard to walk with as I get very excited when I see another doggie or a bicyle. Foster mommy has been working with me to get me to slow down. I am a spunky 3 year old girly with lost of energy. I definitely need a home with a fenced in backyard where I can run off some of my energy. I do love the outdoors and I love chasing those things with a long tail. I think theyre called lizzies. I also love car rides. I just get in my own car seat and go to sleep. I do like being with my person. I dont like being left behind and if there is a big rain storm, I am terrified of thunder. I get along with little dogs (6-7lbs) but I dont like other dogs that are around my size or larger. It would be best if I am the only princess in the house. Oh! And about your bed, well its my bed too! Thats all for now. Every body have a good rest of your summer. Lexi is being fostered near Palm Coast and can only be adopted within an 80 mile range of her current home.

Update Bio 7/6/25

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

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

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

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

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

1/23/25

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

01/06/2025

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

Bonded Pair Pebbles and BamBam

Bonded Pair- Pebbles

THANK YOU TO PEBBLES' RESCUE ANGELS!
Wendy Fuhrmaneck, Jennifer Beeston, DeAnn Deutsch, Laureen Seoane

Pebbles (and BamBam)

Pebbles is a 10-year-old Yorkie girl who weighs 7 lbs and is being fostered near Bradenton, FL. Pebbles and her brother BamBam are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Update 12/31/25:

Update 12/9/25:

Pebbles and BamBam are still awaiting their dental procedure. Theyre settling into their foster home and working on their potty trainingthere are lots of new rooms and interesting places to sniff, so it can be a little confusing at first.

Pebbles recently developed a cough, which was evaluated by the vet. The preliminary diagnosis is a collapsing trachea with a possible mild infectionboth fairly common in Yorkies. She has started medication to help with the cough and inflammation.

She also has a level 3 (moderate) heart murmur. To make sure her heart wasnt under strain, the vet ran a special blood test that measures whether the heart muscle is being stretched or overworked. The result came back normal, which means that although she has a murmur, her heart is not currently experiencing active stress.

Were monitoring and treating her, and we expect her to recover well from this cough. Foster mom has also learned that Pebbles and BamBam arent big fans of thunder and lightningbut they respond beautifully to snuggles, close contact, and reassurance. Theyre continuing to rest, shed a little extra weight, and grow more confident every week.

Initial Bio

11/30/2025:

Bam Bam and Pebbles have arrived in their foster home and are settling in beautifully. It didnt take them long to discover that the couch is the coziest place in the houseand they happily volunteer themselves as professional snuggle buddies.

These two have very sweet, gentle personalities. They adore being close to their humans and follow their foster mom everywhere she goes, just to make sure she doesnt forget theyre available for affection at all times. They often show their bellies as a sweet way of asking for more pets, which works every single time.

They enjoy slow-paced, small walks throughout the day, taking in the world at their own relaxed pace. They absolutely love children, and their soft, easygoing nature makes them wonderful companions. They would do best in a home without other pets, or possibly with very calm, elderly, smaller pets who wont overwhelm them. They also arent huge fans of loud noises, so a calmer home would help them feel most secure.

On the practical side, theyre both working on their potty trainingBam Bam proudly wears his belly band as he learns the ropesand theyre making progress every day. Their initial exam showed that Pebbles appears to have a mild heart murmur, which will be evaluated further. Both pups are also waiting for some dental care soon so their smiles can be as fresh and nice as their cuddles.

For now, Bam Bam and Pebbles are simply enjoying the comfort of a safe home, warm laps, and gentle routines while they wait for a forever family who will cherish their sweet spirits.

To date we've spent $1617.04 on Pebbles (and BamBam)'s vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1457.5 in donations.

Sandy Pagnotta

Hello! My name is Rocky. I am a 3 year old adorable young man, I dont mean to be conceited but have you seen my pictureI am very cute and wait until you see me after a trip to the barber. I had my first night with my foster parents Sunday 1-11-26. I think it went pretty well. I was quickly comfortable in my new setting. After our long car ride, I was ready to play and explore my new space. I had a good night sleep in my crate for the whole night. And want to let you know I LOVE my crate. I am looking for humans that keep up with me, as a three year old terrier I want to let you know I have a lot of energy to burn. I love walks, playing fetch and being petted and loved on. I will be happy in a home or a condo setting but I need lots of walks and play time. I have a few appointments before I am ready to go live my best life. Once those are complete, I am all in for a new adventure!

Sincerely,

Rocky

THANK YOU TO TRIPP'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Tripp

Meet Tripp a 3-year-old, 7 pound Yorkie boy. Tripp is being fostered near Palm Coast, FL.

Bio Update 1/14/26

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

Initial Bio 12/18/25

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

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

To date we've spent $1335.61 on Tripp's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $509.99 in donations.

Happy Birthday Tyson!

THANK YOU TO TYSON TOO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta, Nestor Sanchez, Barbie Asplundh, Stephanie Slack, Debra Frare

Tyson Too

Tyson is a 14.5 year-old Yorkie boy who weighs 11.5lbs and is being fostered in Palm Coast, FL.

Update 01/06/26

Tyson just arrived at his new foster home in Palm Coast. He is settling in nicely and enjoys walking around and sniffing all the new scents in the backyard and relaxing in the sunshine. He's a really sweet boy and loves to cuddle and is the perfect lap dog. He is going to be 15 years old in a few days and even though his back legs are slow to get going, this morning he was running around the house just like a puppy. Did I mention he has the best smile and he certainly will make you smile every day too. If you are interested in this sweet boy, please reach out. He is a total love!

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

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

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

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

Update 12/11/25

Today is a very special day for this sweet, gentle soul! It's Tysons 15th birthday and doesn't he look so dapper? He heard no one applied for him from his previous post. Don't seniors deserve a loving home of their own too? Tyson knows his foster mom loves him very much, but his one wish is a forever home of his own.

Senior dogs like Tyson have so much love to give and ask for so little in return. He is an absolute love and enjoys exploring in the backyard, relaxing in the sunshine, going for short walks and LOVES the beach!

This sweet boy deserves a safe, warm place to spend his golden years, where he knows he is cherished and safe. Tyson loves to cuddle and is a perfect lap dog.

We are looking for a special person or family who understands the unique joy and deep bond that comes with adopting a senior dog. If you believe you can offer Tyson the peaceful, loving retirement home he's been dreaming of, we would love to hear from you. Tyson promises to always love you back.

For more information, please contact my foster mom at: seashore.yorkies@gmail.com and even if you can't adopt, please share to help us spread the word. All it takes is one share to reach the right person! Tyson said thank you!

Update: 11/04/25

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To date we've spent $2655.16 on Tyson Too's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1250 in donations.

Kentucky

Spanky

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

UPDATED BIO

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

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

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

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

THANK YOU TO DAISY MAE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagotta

Initial Bio 1/16/26: Meet Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is a 7-year-old Yorkie with a heart as gentle as her name. Weighing just 5 pounds, this little lady came into rescue through no fault of her own...her beloved owner could no longer care for her due to dementia. Despite this big change, Daisy Mae remains incredibly sweet and trusting.

She has a friendly, loving disposition and adores being close to her people. Daisy May is happiest when she's cuddled up on her cozy doggy bed or trotting along behind her foster mommy, making sure she's never too far away. She enjoys companionship, soft affection, and the simple comforts of home.

She is going to visit the Doggy Doctor on Monday (1/19/26) to get her vaccinations up to date, get an exam, and afterwards she will be visiting the Doggy Dentist as well to make sure her teethies are okay.

Daisy Mae would be a perfect match for someone looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will bring warmth and quiet joy into their life. She's ready to spend her golden years showering her new family with love.

Could Daisy Mae be the missing piece of your heart?

Gina

THANK YOU TO GINA'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Gina TX

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

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

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

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

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

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

To date we've spent $2816.93 on Gina TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1360 in donations.

THANK YOU TO LUCY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Alysah Tobey, Sandy Pagnotta, Tracy Cunningham in memory of our precious Penny

Lucy TX 25

Meet Lucy, a precious 1.5 year old, 9 pound Yorkie mix being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas residents will be considered.

Update 1/21/26:Hello Everybody

We would like to provide you with some updates regarding Lucy’s recent health.

On January 12th Foster Mom observed that Lucy’s left eye appeared slightly different from her right. Additionally, she noticed that the center of Lucy’s eye began to exhibit cloudiness over the subsequent days. On Monday, we consulted our regular veterinarian, who conducted a brief eye examination and did not identify any abnormalities. To ensure Lucy’s well-being, we scheduled an appointment with an ophthalmologist on Tuesday. The ophthalmologist diagnosed Lucy with a juvenile cataract in her left eye, which is causing her vision to become somewhat blurred. Lucy is currently prescribed an eye drop to prevent inflammation, which could potentially lead to an increase in intraocular pressure (glaucoma). We are required to return for a follow-up appointment in three months, during which she will undergo a second examination by the ophthalmologist and will require to be checked at least twice annually.

On January 20, Lucy underwent spaying and microchipping. She made a swift recovery and returned to her usual demeanor within 24 hours. However, it is imperative to maintain her composure and avoid strenuous activities during her healing process.

Lucy and Rocco are establishing a harmonious relationship, engaging in numerous enjoyable activities throughout the day, with the exception of their periods of rest. It has proven somewhat challenging to monitor their interactions. Lucy has an appointment scheduled for February 2 to assess her incision and ensure the absence of any yeast infections.

Lucy has commenced sleeping in bed with me each night. Her affectionate and joyful disposition is evident throughout the day and night. She finds comfort in your presence when she is not actively playing with Rocco. Despite her nearly complete house-training abilities, Lucy prefers to remain indoors during inclement weather conditions such as rain or wetness.

Since my previous update, Lucy’s life has undergone significant transformations. Lucy appears to have experienced a challenging initial period, which may explain her current behavior. Upon her arrival, she exhibited a strong inclination towards outdoor activities. She lacks proficiency in utilizing a harness or leash and has subsequently chewed through two leashes and 2 doggy seatbelts within a short timeframe. In contrast, Lucy walks FM instead of letting her walk me, which suggests that she may not have had sufficient time to acclimate to the world’s sensory experiences and abundance of delights. She consistently seeks my attention when she is not engaged in play with Rocco.

Lucy may benefit from professional training to address her separation anxiety and excessive barking when left alone. Despite her diminutive size of 11 pounds, she possesses a robust physique and a resolute disposition. She exhibits a voracious appetite and will readily enter the kitchen upon hearing the opening of the refrigerator.

Considering the recent events, we extend an invitation to UYR’s village and associates to contribute financially. Should you have any surplus funds, kindly consider donating to United Yorkie Rescue. Your assistance would be invaluable in supporting UYR’s efforts to provide care to other Yorkies in need throughout the year. We sincerely appreciate your consideration and unwavering support.

Sincerely,

Lucy and Foster Mom, Shirley

01/09/2026 Lucy Pupdate

Hey there, bright New World! Its Lucy here, giving you a quick update on my adventures at Stickhorse Ranch over the past eight days. Ive been having a blast, and Im so excited to share my joyful personality with my foster family.

I instantly connected with my foster brother, Rocco. It took me about 15 hours to realize hes the perfect playmate. Weve been having an absolute blast together! Weve played chase, tug-of-war with toys, and we love to roughhouse in the backyard. But our favorite game is lets deconstruct our plush toys and find the squeaky thing inside. Its so much fun!

On Monday, January 5th, I went to see Foster Mommys favorite doctor for a check-up. It turns out I have a yeast infection on my skin, so Im on some medication to get it better. The doctor also checked for a spay scar or a tattoo on my tummy, but she couldnt find either. I dont have a microchip either. While I was there, I got all my basic puppy shots and have to come back in two weeks for a follow-up. Im hoping to get spayed and microchipped that day. If my yeast infection is clearing up, my doctor said shell do my spay and insert the microchip right away. If it doesnt improve enough, Ill have to come back in two more weeks for a final follow-up and the rest of my puppy shots. Either way, Ill be spayed and microchipped that day! My doctor guessed that Im about a year and a half old and that Im a beautiful mix of a Pawfect Yorkie. I weighed in at 11.4 pounds. Can you believe that?

Im a busy little girl who loves to explore, except when Im sleeping or taking a nap. I get super excited when I see dinner being made. Im a great eater, and Ive already been potty trained for eight days! I had one accident, but it was on a pee pad. I can be a bit anxious when you leave, so it takes me a few minutes to calm down and stop barking. After that, I usually find a place to take a nap or play with my buddy, Rocco.

So, with all that info, I have a question for you. Would you like to be Ethel to my Lucy or maybe youd prefer to be Ricky with me? Either way, I'd like to come home to you if you could be the Pawfect Pawrent. Do you have any questions? Feel free to reach out to Foster Mom at stickhors@gmail.com.

Initial Bio 1/2/26: Happy New Year to everybody. My name is Lucy. I became a UYR rescue on New Years Day. All UYR knows about me is that I was found running down a freeway when a very brave and kind lady stopped her car and picked me up on Christmas Eve. She was my angel for sure. I was full of fleas and worms so she gave me a flea bath and something to get rid of my worms. After a few days she WAS finally able to track down my family. She called them and they told her I was given to someone and they provided the phone number. When my angel called that new family, she was told that I escaped Christmas Eve and that they tried to look for me. They said they didn't want me back. My angel tried reaching out to every Yorkie rescue that she could find and they all told her that they couldnt help her out. Finally, after she reached out to a Yorkie rescue in Pennsylvania, she was told to try United Yorkie Rescue. UYR immediately said YES and now I am in a great foster home.

I am now safe at Stickhorse Ranch in Mckinney. As soon as Foster Mom learns more about me, seeing as Ive only been here less than one day, she will be updating my biography. In the meantime, I will be going to the Dogter to get my needed vaccinations, check for microchip, look at my teeth and see if I have been spayed. Everything that needs to be done will get done because that is what UYR does with every new kid on the block. So until my next pup date, I can tell you that I will be a snuggle girl because I slept right next to Foster mom last night. PLUS I AM SO SO SO CUTE,,,,so if you have any questions you can reach out to my foster mommy at stickhors@gmail.com Lucy

To date we've spent $1381.22 on Lucy TX 25's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $725 in donations.

Initial Bio 1/3/26: Oh my goodness, such a sad story for this precious little UNITED YORKIE RESCUE nugget, Luna. Luna is 8yrs old and 7lbs of pure sweetness. Her story is another one full of sadness. Luna was found on a country road by an amazing gentleman. He knew who the owner was, as she had been on the road in the past. When he brought her back to the owner, the owner told him she didn't want her, and that her medical needs were just too much and she couldn't afford her any longer. Luna had eye infections, her ears were closed shut with infections. Her fur was missing on her little feet, under her neck and belly from untreated bacteria and yeast infections, and a massive mammary tumor on her belly as well from being bred to death!! Typical breeder dump!!

I'm so blessed to be her foster mom! We are currently on a lot of meds to kill the skin infection, and we are on schedule to have her surgeries and pathology for her tumor on Jan 13th! Luna got the best Christmas gift and her New Year will be one to celebrate!! She is receiving the best of LOVE and desperately needed medical care each day.

THANK YOU TO ROCCO'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Rocco TX

Meet Rocco, a handsome 4 year old, 17 pound Yorkie Mix boy being fostered in McKinney, TX. Rocco was Heartworm positive but he has completed his treatments and is now HW free and 100% healthy! Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 12/7/25: Dear Santa Paws,

Hi, my name is Rocco, and I've been a very good boy this year. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, the family that wanted me wasn't able to adopt me after all. So here I am, Santa Paws, sending you my Christmas letter and letting you know my biggest wish:

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

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

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

Now, a little about me:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love,

Rocco

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sophie 25 TX

Meet Sophie, an adorable 11 month old, 12 pound Yorkie Mix being fostered in Austin, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Update 1/6/26: A month after getting Sophie, she has proven to be a total love bug! And, my goodness, those ears! She is very energetic and loves to run around the yard. She is very playful with our dogs, and will even chase our 90lb dog around the yard; it is the cutest thing to watch! She also does great on car rides, and absolutely loves our kids. She is shy around new people, but with some patience, she warms up and the love you get from her is so rewarding. Sophie loves treats, so that has been a great way to help her get comfortable. Beware, if you sit down, you will have a dog in your lap. And if you get up, you will have a little white shadow following you wherever you go.

Initial Bio 12/9/25: Sophie was shy and skittish when she first came to me, but spent most of the next day on my lap! She hasn't had any accidents in the house and slept in her kennel with no complaints. She's very friendly with my small dog and my daughter, and I'm sure the dogs will be playing in no time! She has also helped herself to the toy bin. She's very treat-motivated, and just in the short time I've had her, she's almost got sit (and wait for her turn) down. She's a sweet little dog!

To date we've spent $1297.03 on Sophie 25 TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $175 in donations.

THANK YOU TO BRIGGS' RESCUE ANGELS!
Samantha Burns, Sandy Pagnotta, Wendy Fuhrnaneck

Initial Bio

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

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

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

To date we've spent $0 on Briggs's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $232 in donations.

Fletcher

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

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

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

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

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

Updates Bio 5/27/25

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