Blaze

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

THANK YOU TO BLAZE'S FACEBOOK DONORS!

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 $2845.29 on Blaze's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $2081.99 in donations.

Bruno Needs Help

THANK YOU TO BRUNO'S RESCUE ANGELS!<
Robin Nyberg, Wendy Fuhrmaneck, Alexis Lisi, DeAnn Deutsch, Beth Len

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

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 $0 on Bruno's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $365 in donations.

THANK YOU TO COAL'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Coal

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

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 $434.99 on Coal's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $482.73 in donations.

THANK YOU TO COOKIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Cookie (fka Beretta)

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

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 $1748.7 on Cookie (fka Beretta)'s vet bills, but with your support we've collected $430 in donations.

Joey

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

Joey

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

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!

Update 4/26/26: More GREAT news! Lily here to update you. I had my cataract surgery a week ago and had my first checkup and I hear I am progressing nicely. The coolest thing was looking around and seeing more than gray shadows and both my vet and foster mom always saying how much it warms their hearts. Oh and my eyes are brown, not white.

Here are some things I like:

* Riding in the car. Doesnt matter where we go as long as I am with my human.

* Working on my suntan - cant do that right now because the sun is bad for my eyes while I am healing.

* Going for walks - sleeping - eating. I

never skip a meal!

* Doggie ice cream - learned that at a doggie birthday party I went to

* Other dogs and people

Cant think of much I dont like except this stupid cone I have to wear while I am healing! I need to keep it on because if I accidentally scratch my eyes, that would be a very very bad thing.

I still have a few more weeks of Dogter visits until we know exactly how much vision I have. But thats okay. They keep telling me I am one of the best little dogs they have ever treated!

I am even more expensive than I was at the last update so anything you can donate to help my cause, is appreciated. Every little bit helps.

Until next time!

4/11/26. It's Lily back again with MORE GOOD NEWS! We got the biopsy results back from the lumpy things that were removed and I am in the clear - no "C" word. I have a lot of stitches right now and it was suggested I look like Frankenstein, but I am much too cute and adorable to look like him. Also, the stitches are coming out in a few days, my hair will grow back and I will be even cuter than ever - if that's even possible - not to brag or anything.

Onward and upward to my cataract surgery. That will happen on April 21 and I then I have a few weeks of lots of eye drops and wearing one of those awful cone things. But it will be worth it to be able to see better again.

A couple of new things my foster mom has learned in the two months she has had me:

I ride very well in the car

I am mostly housebroken. I go out to do my business A LOT, so if you get my cues, there will be no accidents. But I will use a pee pad if necessary.

I LOVE to roam around in the back yard and sniff and sniff. So a fenced-in yard will be preferable.

I walk well on the leash and love my outings.

I sleep a lot - so even though I am very young, I would not be the ideal playmate for your young dog, but I will be an excellent companion for you.

Literally everyone who meets me falls in love with me. I am really cute and very sweet. Right now, I am a pretty expensive investment so any donations you can make, no matter how small, will help me on the road to recovery and my Furever home.

3/25/26. It's me, Lily back again with my latest update. I have had a lot going on but have sailed through it like the little champ that I am! I keep hearing I am such a good girl.

Our next stop is back at our general vet to have some lumpy things removed after a punch biopsy showed that they needed to go! Full removal will ensure all is well and pathology will hopefully confirm they are okay and not diseased. After that, I have been approved by UYR to have my bilateral cataract surgery. The sort of "just okay" news is that, due to my damaged retina, we cannot guarantee how much of my sight I will get back and for how long. But my wonderful rescue feels that, due to my young age, it is worth the chance to try and offer me a better life, even if the future is not certain.

I I have impaired vision right now but my foster mom has been taking me all kinds of places and I adjust to my surroundings very quickly. I am very smart. As far as future treatment, I will need to use eye drops for the rest of my life and will need to visit an Ophthalmologist once a year.

Otherwise, my foster Mom keeps calling me her little angel and, even though I may be a little challenged, I know I would be your little angel for the rest of my life.

Oh! And we are spending quite a bit of money (Lilys total vet costs will exceed $10,000!) on my care so if you are able to help out in any way, we will greatly appreciate it! It's for a great cause!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To date we've spent $12899.88 on Lily's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $5378 in donations.

Update: 4/30/26:

Hi, Maggie here! I have been in my foster home for four days now, and my foster mom says I am a sweet little girl. I dont bark much yet, but I will let you know if that changes. I love having so many beds to choose from and I am enjoying my new feeding schedule. Foster Mom is teaching me how to walk on a leash as well as a few basic commands. She says I'm a quick learner

I have already been on a couple of car rides and really liked them. I also enjoy meeting new people and other dogs. There is a resident cat here; I am still getting used to her, but there havent been any problems so far. Walking is a favorite and I will let FM know when I need to go outside to potty.

I visited the vet yesterday for a quick introductory visit, and of course, they loved me! I will head back next week for a full wellness check and to update my medical care.

Ill send another update and an idea of what I will need in a forever home, next week. Stay tuned!

Oliver

Lets PAWTY!

THANK YOU TO OLIVER'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Barbara Burgess, Ellen Chokreff, Rayne Debski, Bret Park, Nestor Sanchez, Wendy Henry, DeAnn Deutsch

Oliver

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

Updated Bio 3/29/26.

Hello Every Pawdy! I want to introduce myself to you. My name is Oliver. I've been in my foster home for a month now, and Ill admit, it was a little iffy at first! I was growling and snapping at my foster mom and her husband, but turns out, I just wasn't feeling very good. I went for a check-up at the Dogtor and found out I had a UTI and an ear infection. Plus, I was a lonely boy who wasn't used to a house with so much going on. OMG, there are cats, other dogs, and even a man here! It was a lot to take in at once, but I've actually realized I don't mind having other dogs and cats around at all.

I've been back to the Dogtor since then. I'm still fighting that UTI and ear infection, so I'm on more meds, but I am feeling so much better! I am a big fraidy cat at the Vet so I wear a muzzle there. My foster mom tells me what a sweet boy I am now. I've become very cuddly and affectionate, and I've even decided I like the man after all! I love going for walks and I'm a great passenger in the car.

I'm still a little picky about my personal space. When I'm in my crate, that's my spot and I like to be left alone. Also, I don't share my meals with humans, so please don't get near my plate while I'm enjoying my dinner! Otherwise, I love to sit in your lap or lounge next to you on the couch. When its bedtime, Im a good boy and put myself right to bed in my crate.

Because I'm still learning to be social, my foster mom has me hang out in my crate when people come to visit so I don't get overwhelmed. I still need one more Dogtor check-up to get the all clear, but Im looking for my forever home now. Since I haven't been around young kids, I need an adult-only home, preferably a stay-at-home couple to hang out with and will have the patience to let me learn the ropes, in getting used to my new digs and to my new doggie parents but don't worry, when I'm ready, I'll come find you for my lap time and all the cuddles I can get. I hope you're that person!

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

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

To date we've spent $4348.54 on Oliver's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $535 in donations.

Toto

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

THANK YOU TO TOTO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
DeAnn Deutsch

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 mostly house trained but will need a patient, understanding adopter willing to help him continue polishing his potty skills. 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.

THANK YOU TO TUCKER'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Grace Everett

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.

THANK YOU TO HENRY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Raye Shorten

Initial Bio 4/30/26:

Its Kentucky Derby Time in Kentucky are here is our pick! Henry is definitely the favorite in his best Derby attire and he is on a mission to WIN FIRST PLACE in your HEART! Henry comes to us from a loving home where he was well cared for. Changes in family circumstances meant lots of travel and lots of pet sitting so his owner lovingly reached out for help with finding a calm, stable, loving environment for him. Henry is up to date on his care and ready for adoption. He is a VERY CHILLAXED dog; sweet, affectionate, good on a leash and in the car, mostly house trained (though he needs frequent outings and someone attentive to his cues) and good with other humans and animals. Talk about a SURE THING! You cant beat these odds!

Henry is ready for his next chapter. If youre looking for a sweet, devoted boy to add warmth (and a little Derby flair) to your home, Henry is ready to cross the finish line and gallop straight into your heart. To apply to adopt visit our website www.UYR.us and complete an adoption application or email their foster PAWRENTS at CTWard@aol.com

Lucy

To date we've spent $196.1 on Lucy's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $500 in donations.

Lucy

Lucy is an 10 year-old, 11 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Lexington, KY.

Bio 5/23/26

Lucy comes from a loving home where she was well cared for, but life changes meant that her owner was traveling non-stop and Lucy was always with a sitter. Her owner wanted a calm, stable, attentive forever home for Lucy where she can truly shine. Lucy is up to date on all her care and brings so much to the table. This beautiful little Yorkie has so much love to give. Lucy is affectionate to the core and absolutely adores her people. She will happily climb onto your chest, cover you in nonstop kisses, and then roll over for endless belly rubs and ear scratches — her two favorite things in the world!

While Lucy has lived with another dog before, she is very territorial and that extends to her human and her food. Lucy wants a home where she can be your ONE AND ONLY forever girl. Lucy’s ideal home is one where she can truly be the center of someone’s universe. While she has lived with other dogs before, Lucy is a classic feisty Yorkie girl who likes to be “queen of the castle.” She can become very protective of her person and her food around other dogs, especially dogs her own size. In her foster home Lucy must coexist with 3 other dogs. She “tolerates” the larger male dog fairly well, but she wants nothing to do with any of them really. She has made it very clear that she would much prefer life without other canine roommates competing for attention. Because of this, we are looking for a home where Lucy can be your one-and-only princess. We want her to relax, feel secure, and never have to stay on guard or be corrected for trying to rule the roost. Lucy does have a dramatic side — she can growl, snap, and sound absolutely sound terrifying when she’s feeling bossy — but here’s the important part: Lucy has NEVER bitten a human or another animal. Not once. She’s all noise, sass, and Yorkie theatrics in her “Cujo mode.”

Lucy would thrive with a loving but confident owner who understands the Yorkie personality and won’t let this adorable diva run the entire household. In return, you’ll get a loyal little shadow who wants nothing more than to love and be loved. If you have additional questions about Lucy, email her foster mom at tnyorkiemama@yahoo.com

Lucy enjoys being outdoors, so a fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus, though she lived happily without one previously. What matters most is finding someone who wants a sweet, affectionate companion to share quiet days, cozy naps, kisses, and belly rubs.

Lucy is patiently waiting for the person who will see past her tiny tough-girl act and recognize the devoted, loving little heart underneath. She’s ready to be your one and only — and she promises to love you with everything she has.

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

THANK YOU TO SPANKY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Barbara Lalani, Paul and Patty Kirchner

Spanky

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

UPDATED BIO

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

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

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

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

To date we've spent $748.55 on Spanky 's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $546.78 in donations.

Stella

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

Stella

Stella is a 2-year-old, 11 lb. Yorkie girl being fostered in Versailles, KY.

Meet Stella!

Stella is an adorable 2-year-old Yorkie who was lovingly surrendered due to her owner’s health issues. She was very much loved, and now she’s looking for a new family to give her the happy home she deserves.

Stella weighs about 10 pounds and is still very much a puppy at heart! She is playful, energetic, and incredibly agile — she loves to run, jump, climb, and play with toys. She also absolutely loves attention and snuggling up beside her human.

She appears to be puppy-pad trained and also does well going outside, although she is not a fan of rainy weather. Stella is a smart little girl who gets along well with the other dogs in our home.

Because she is fast and adventurous, Stella will need a securely fenced yard where she can safely play and burn off some of her puppy energy. She also enjoys walks and would thrive with an active family who can give her plenty of love and attention.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, fun-loving companion, Stella may be the perfect match for you!

Flannery

Minnesota

Flannery

Meet Flannery, an adorable 8 year old, 9 pound Yorkie female being fostered in Cottage Grove, MN. Adopters from the Twin Cities (MN), Madison, WI, or Des Moines, IA

Update 4/27/26: Flannery is doing very well; she recovered nicely from her dental procedure and cyst removal. She has a follow-up appointment for her dry eye in two weeks but has been doing well; she takes the drops like a champ without complaint sitting nicely. Her weight is perfect, she has a great appetite and we’re working on pausing before eating to learn some control. She continues to sleep nicely in her kennel at night and goes into it on her own for naps. We have a good routine down, and we continue working on consistency with potty training with frequent trips outside. She consistently has a dry pen during the day. We’d like to pursue a home with a fenced yard, she loves running outside whenever she gets the chance to explore. She gets playful, loves back scratches, and snuggles on the couch.

Update 3/24/26: Flannery had her dental last week and did very well; she had two teeth pulled and four cysts removed. The staff loved her disposition and the vet was very happy with her health condition. Treatment of dry eye is going well, and the luxating patellas are stable, she's active and doing well. Her favorite place is anywhere she's snuggling. She's been sleeping in a crate at night and loves being with her person...she's a mellow gal.

2/8/26: Flannery had her first dogtor appointment. Her evaluation reflected she is past due for a dental. Additionally, Flannery is being treated for eye irritation, potentially a dry eye condition. She's is scheduled to have a dental procedure on 3/20, at which time she will have some cysts removed and her eye condition and luxating patellas will be rechecked to determine if any additional medical care is needed.

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

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

Initial Bio 2/4/26: Meet Flannery, a tiny soul with a huge heart and a penchant for snuggles. At eight years young, this sweet girl was raised in a very loving home, and it shows in her social nature. She is a "people person" through and through. Please check back for updates as we continue to evaluate Flannery.

To date we've spent $2088.24 on Flannery's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $125 in donations.

Bentley TX 26

Meet Bentley, a handsome 16 month old, 11 pound Yorkie male being fostered in McKinney, TX. PLEASE NOTE BENTLEY HAS A PENDING ADOPTION WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF MAY.

Bio Update 3/24/26: Bentley is a bright, active soul with a heart of gold. Hes a people-pleaser with 'super-hearing'especially when it comes to the crinkle of a treat bag! Though he can be a little reserved with new faces or furry friends, his gentle nature shines through as he quickly warms up. A lover of routine, Bentley is happiest roaming his backyard or sunbathing. Leash walks are still a work in progress, but hes eager to learn.

Bentley recently proved what a sweetheart he is by acting as a 'big brother' to an elderly, blind foster pup. He was incredibly attentive, gently guiding his foster brother away from the pool and other off-limits areas to keep him safe. While hes a protective companion, he does enjoy being the center of attention and can get a tiny bit jealous when sharing his human's affection.

This quirky guy is full of charmhe treats his kennel like a toy chest and prefers the cool hardwood floor for naps. When hes not playing, he takes his job as 'neighborhood watch' seriously, keeping a watchful eye on the street from the upstairs window in Foster Moms office. Clever, quirky, and thoroughly entertaining, Bentley will make a great addition to a furr-ever family!

Initial bio: 2/2/26 Bentley came to UYR from a loving home as an owner surrender. At 16 months and 11 pounds, he is handsome, sweet and in good health. Bentley is crate trained and housetrained and loves to follow his foster mom around the house. He enjoys nightly snuggles, being outside, and playing with toys. Bentley's still settling in with his foster family, and once there are more details to share, an update will be posted.

Adoption Pending

To date we've spent $364.44 on Bentley TX 26's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $135 in donations.

Hope TX

Meet Hope, a beautiful 10 pound, 4 year old Yorkie girl being fostered in Leander, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO HOPE'S FACEBOOK DONORS!
David Lavine in honor of the passing of my dear friend, Dr. Gerry Grau M.D. of Fort Lauderdale, FL. May his memory be a blessing,
Karry Rogers, Susan Klingbeil, Marie Wheelis, Gayla Vieta, Crystal Dicosola, 9 others

Update 5/1/26: Stacy, our amazing vet at Blockhouse Creek Animal Hospital, sees a little girl that acts like a normal little girl in spite of her vestibular issues, so she wants us to try a few things for Hope. She thinks we should not give up on her.a this point. She reviewed all of her records and reviewed the MRI images as well. She wants us to try more than one dose of chemo. She wants to add additional medications which we've ordered. These work with the autoimmune system. NLE is autoimmune initiated. Hope really started to fail after her immunizations, and the vet feels very strongly that the time period from those immunizations. to where she worsened over that time period to now, was a direct result of the immunizations. The horror of how she was rescued is a totally different incident. This disease is sadly common in this breed. The medications, along with the chemo, will help her immune system. She also has heard of amazing results with hyperbaric treatment with neurological disorders that this baby is definitely exhibiting with her vestibular issues and seizures at times. We are currently working on getting Hope in with All God's Creatures Hyperbaric Care center next week. The referral is in place.

Hope eats and drinks when you put the food plate in front of her and her water bowl. She goes potty on the pee pad. If she's on the ground. and you call her name, she will circle all the way to you. She lifts her head up to give you kisses. She snuggles under your neck. She sleeps soundly on the bed with me and snuggles like a princess. She loves to chew bones as well.

I'm optimistically hopeful that we can stop this disease's progression, and claim some pieces of her life back, as I see her already sitting perfectly and looking at me at times throughout the day. YES, we need a miracle, but with the prayer warriors we can get her that!.

Hope is living her name right now!

Update 4/21/26: Our sweet Hope was seen by a neurologist this afternoon. She had an MRI which revealed devastating news. Our baby has a severe form of encephalitis. She will stay overnight tonight and they will administer a cancer drug. It's a drug that works with the immune system. IF this drug works, we will see an improvement within the next few weeks. She desperately needs your prayers. This may not give her the life she was so deserving of, but all we can do is try to give her the best of the life she has left. Sometimes the tiniest little things can make the biggest imprint on your heart...her determination after all she has been through gives us her reason! Please give for Hope and please share! Bless you all for loving our babies!

Initial Bio 4/19/26: Hope is a 4-year-old sweet Yorkshire Terrier with a story no dog should ever have to live through. Before coming into our care, she endured unimaginable abuseshe was thrown into a pool and was hit with a broom, leaving her with severe trauma. She will have an appointment at our Vet this coming Tuesday. After her appointment she will be getting an appointment with a neurologist. She has all vaccines. She is not spayed.

Today, Hope is safe, but her journey is far from over. She struggles daily with the effects of her injuries. She often walks in circles, has difficulty keeping her balance, and needs help with basic tasks like eating and drinking. Despite everything shes been through, Hope continues to show quiet resilience and a will to keep going.

She needs ongoing medical care, specialized support, and a lot of patience and love to give her the quality of life she deserves.

We are asking for your help. All donations will go directly toward Hope's medical treatment, rehabilitation, and daily care. If youre unable to give, sharing her story can make a huge difference.

Hope has survived the worst ... now we want to give her the chance to truly live.

Thank you for being part of her journey.

To date we've spent $5250.24 on Hope TX 's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $4868 in donations.

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 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.

To date we've spent $2921.69 on Lily Grace's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1086 in donations.

THANK YOU TO MILLIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
David Lavine, David and Diana Lavine in honor the the passing of sweet Koa. UYR gave him the best life possible, Kip Finch, Sandy Pagnotta, Robynn Powell

Millie TX

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

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 $1214.8 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.

Ollie

THANK YOU TO OLLIE' RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta, Yvette Vangeloff, Wendy Henry, Cheryl Scrupski, David and Diana Lavine, Patricia Elaine Nelson, David and Diana Lavine

Ollie TX

Meet Ollie, a handsome 9-10 pound, 5 yr old Morkie (Yorkie/Maltese) boy being fostered in Chico, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

Bio Update 5/25/26: Ollie has been in rescue for a while but is now ready for his special family that is ready for a playful, loving boy that can bring lots of laughs and fun.

Ollie is an over-the-top playful boy that will need a securely fenced space to run and a playmate that would love to challenge him to play.

He came to UYR after he was found on a dark lonely Kansas field in the middle of the night. Fortunately a visitor to the area was able to rescue him and brought him to Texas on her way back home.

Since he was able to run free he needed some space and time to adjust to a backyard and learn to play in a family friendly environment. He has been with one of our fosters who owns a beautiful kennel in North Texas...he loves everyone, small to medium dogs…not fond or larger dogs..but will play play play.

A perfect family would be someone who is used to a high energy, lovable boy. He likes to challenge a leash but for sure with one on one training he is so smart and savvy that he will catch on quickly.

Ollie is vetted and up to date on vaccines…not sure on the potty training since he has been in an open environment but with a family that is ready for this sweet baby he ll catch on quickly.

Children under the age of ten most likely not be the best since he has high energy.

If you would like to see if Ollie is the one for your family please complete the application below

Update 3/24/26: Look at this precious baby Ollie!! He has come such a long way. Ollie is totally vetted and waiting for you to bring him home!

Ollie was so unsocialized when he came to us, but today, he is a sweet healthy baby that has learned so much. Ollie is such a fun loving baby that most definitely needs a yard to run and play in. He absolutely loves to play chase with his fur sibling friends. We feel he is doing well on his house manners, but with every new baby, they sometimes need your directions as well. He gets along with most dogs but he is not so keen on the larger breed. They are still very intimidating to him. We are not sure if there was one in his past life that made him feel uncomfortable, but we would like for his forever family to know he cowers away and shows fear when they are present.

As you can see, Ollie is just adorable. If you can provide a yard and love, that is all this sweet boy needs! Please send your application to the email below and let's get this baby his furever home!

Update 11/2/25: Ollie is a bundle of energy and love. He is up to date on all vaccines and he also got neutered. His favorite things are going for walks and watching squirrels. He loves his squeaky toys! He gets along with his foster mom's other foster baby. Ollie is ready for his forever loving home!

Initial Bio 10/19/25: Ollie is a Morkie with a BIG heart. He is a shy boy, and may be a little shy when you first meet him. But just give him a little time and patience and he'll be your most loyal cuddle buddy.

Ollie is not fully house trained, but we are working on it. He is about 9-10lbs and will be going to the doggy doctor soon. He will be getting his vaccines, and a neuter. We will keep you updated. Ollie will need a yard with a fully secured fence because he loves to run and is fast. If you feel that Ollie would be a great fit for you and your family, please submit an application using the link below. Or email his foster mom.

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 Georgetown, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

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 barksif 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

Pip TX

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

Bio Update 3/31/26: Pip Update I am Shirley, the foster mother of Pip. He has been in my care since February 27th.

If you have read his first biography on our website, we are currently working on his diagnosis, as we suspect it may be related to neurology. He received his first set of three puppy shots on Monday, the 23rd of this month. During that appointment, I requested a referral to a neurologist specialist, and we will proceed from there with his treatment. Regrettably, the initial appointment with the specialist is scheduled for the end of April. Our veterinarian has a suspicion that Pip may have cerebella hydroplasia.

Upon his arrival, Pip exhibited significant behavioral issues. He would become agitated when his body failed to respond as expected. He would fall over, attempt to rise, and, unable to do so, would begin biting his right front paw and emitting extremely loud and distressing screams that caused me to believe he was being physically abused. In reality, he was struggling to control his front paw and causing puncture wounds. We initiated antibiotics to prevent further complications or to minimize the risk of his mouth and paw coming into contact. Our veterinarian and I were attempting to devise a solution to prevent Pip from banging himself against the wires of his crate. Ultimately, I discovered that rolling one of my socks up and securing it around his neck provided temporary relief. Pip has made progress in managing his falls and the accompanying pain. Currently, he only cries for a few days at a time.

While he still experiences falls and lacks control over his movements, I have relocated him to a large, soft pen. This allows him to move around uncontrollably without striking the sides of the pen. I assist him with eating by holding his body upright and administering water through a syringe, as he is still learning to drink water from a bowl. Pip is fed every 4 to 6 hours, depending on his wakefulness from naps. We take him outside to the backyard in the grass, where he can expend energy without encountering obstacles.

This adorable puppy possesses captivating eyes that have touched my heart. Despite his condition, he is diligently attempting to engage in typical puppy behaviors. Until we consult with the neurologist, we are currently in a period of observation. At this juncture, he maintains a healthy appetite, exhibits normal bodily functions, and makes a valiant effort to emulate his canine nature. However, it is heartbreaking to witness his confusion reflected in his eyes. We will schedule an appointment with our esteemed veterinarian for his second set of vaccinations before proceeding to the neurologist. We extend our sincere gratitude for your interest in Pips well-being and kindly request your prayers. If you are able to contribute financially, Pip has expressed a sincere desire for your support, as it would enable him to attain optimal health and vitality in the future. A donation link is provided below this biography for your convenience. Sincerely, Shirley and Pip

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

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

Update 5/18/26: I recently went to the vet and learned I am now 8 lbs! My Foster Mom says I am a sweet boy with LOTS of energy. I LOVE to play with my toys, my humans, and other dogs. From what my Foster Mom has seen I get along with dogs and humans of all ages and sizes - except for one condition. My Foster Mom noticed that when a man is standing or walking past me - I get anxious and will growl and bark. We dont know the full story of my past but for some reason I dont feel very safe when a man is standing over me or walking by but once he sits down and lets me come to him I warm up very quickly! I also dont like cars that drive past me - I will grow and bark and try to chase them but my Foster Mom is helping me with that. I also dont like kennels! I am working on house training and wear belly bands while my Foster Mom helps me learn to use a bell to let her know when I need to go outside. I sleep through the night curled up next to my Foster mom. I am food motivated and know how to sit on command!

4/11/26 Initial Bio: Please meet this adorable little guy Rambo. Rambo is just 2 yrs old and a mere 6lbs. He has come into rescue after developing some behavior issues due to a past situation in his young life. He is currently getting the help he needs to process his past with an amazing group. I feel certain, this precious little boy will be back and ready for a furever home in a few weeks.

I think I would like to place this little with a woman who can be home with him most of the day. He is good with children and this is the most I know at the moment. We hope that he will adjust with a man in his life and hopefully like a sibling to play with. He loves his squeaky toys so his puppy qualities are there!

Anyone who knows yorkies, know that it doesn't take much for a baby to lose trust...but we are giving him the best since he so deserves the best!! Please feel free to reach out to foster mom at the address below if you have any questions.

Bio Update 2/26/26

Hi everyone, it's me Briggs!

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

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

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

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

Initial Bio

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

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

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

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

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

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

4/13/26: It's been a minute since foster mom gave everyone an update... she has been super busy, so I reminded her today that she needed to help me get it done. I am doing well and my personality is showing more and more each day. FM says I'm bossy, but I don't see it that way, I prefer to say that I know what I want and let you know it! I have become very possessive of FM and I don't like it when the other dogs get too close to her. I yell at them and chase them away. FM is working with me on learning to be nice to them but so far I am resisting. She is my person and I am not going to share her! Mealtime is still a process. I have to be hand fed because I have a very hard time keeping food in my mouth since 1/2 my lower jaw is gone and I have no teeth. I don't mind because that means I get more 1 on 1 time with FM (at least 30 minutes per meal). I just learned to go down the stairs, but I refuse to go up them. I have this fun little game that I love to play with FM where I go down the stairs then stand at the bottom as cry so she will come down and get me. FM isn't a fan of that game! I still refuse to tell FM that I have to go potty so I have to wear a bellyband all of the time. I will go potty outside when you take me, but I won't let you know. FM calls me a peeing machine, because I pee alot and often. Good think she thinks I'm cute!! Bye for now. Signed Briggs

Rocky

ADOPTION PENDING! Rocky is a 2-year-old Morkie (Yorkie-Maltese) boy who weighs 8 pounds. Rocky is being fostered in Roanoke, VA

Update 5/6/26

Rocky came to rescue as an owner surrender after he struggled to live peacefully with a dominant German Shepherd in his previous home. The stress led to some anxiety and marking behaviors, but his former family shared that Rocky truly shines in the right environment. This has definitely proven to be the case in Rockys foster home. Rockys foster PAWRENTS think hes pretty close to perfect. He is great around other small dogs and loves his people. What Rocky really wants is simple: a calm home, lots of affection, and a family who enjoys having a little shadow by their side. At only 8 pounds, hes the perfect size for cuddling, lap sitting, and being your constant companion. Rocky is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. He loves to play with squeak toys and balls. We are not sure if he will get along with small children or cats. But because he has a welcoming personality there is no reason to think he would not like them. Rocky will potty outside and use a doggie door. He loves to sun bath, explore the yard and bark at the deer. Hes a very confident young fella and loves life. Hes a good eater and sleeps well all night long. If this sounds like the perfect pup for you wed love to have you apply for him today!
