THANK YOU TO ANGEL'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Nestor Sanchez, Bret Park, Margaret Milne, Stephanie Slack, Debra Frare
Updated Bio 9/10/2025:
Hello Everyone, I am Angel, I am a maltese terrier mix and I am almost a year and a half old. I am being spayed this week and will be ready for adoption in a couple of short weeks. I am very sweet and cuddly and have absolutely no aggressive tendencies. I currently have 3 siblings that are about my size that I love to play with, I am not a real fan of cats. Potty training is coming along but I still am not quite there yet. I am still very much a puppy and high energy. and extremely agile like a cat and will get under your feet. I do have some separation anxiety because I enjoy being with my family. I do prefer women however I will warm up to a man after a little time like I have my foster daddy. Please email my parents if interested. I would love a fenced backyard. I love to go out and watch the butterflies.

Update: 11/04/25
Chopper would like to speak - I have been with 3 UYR Fosters now on my long road trip and all I keep hearing is that I am such a sweet little boy and it's easy to fall in love with me right away. Awww........I am very affectionate, love to be near my human and I like to cuddle with her when we sleep. I am a very good eater, which is a good thing, as I am much too skinny and they are trying to put some weight on me. I have gained a pound! Yippee!
I get along well with the resident senior dog. My only little quirk is that I won't walk on the leash. If I could talk, I could tell you why, but foster Mom is just figuring it might be lack of experience. So she is slowly working with me to help me like doing that.
I am going in this week for my neuter, dental and pedicure. Once I heal from that, I will be ready to rock n' roll my way to you.
I know I am a senior, but I am a spunky little guy and if you welcome me into your home and heart, I promise I will love and cherish you for the rest of my life.
Initial Bio 10/21/25: Today we welcome another SUPER SENIOR to our rescue. Lets give a HUGE UNITED YORKIE RESCUE WELCOME to CHOPPER! No, he is not a helicopter, but he could be if he had one more jumbo sized ear! As you can see, Chopper didnt come to us in the best condition. He's way too skinny, his mouth is pretty yucky and he has lost a lot of his hair. To boot, he lost his home of 13 years where he has lived since he was a puppy. Sounds like a really bad start but little does Chopper know that today is a turning point and his BEST DAYS now lay ahead of him.
Chopper is almost 14 years old and was surrendered by his owner who could no longer care for him. He's had quite the busy few days as we worked hard to get him transported. It got tricky, so we had to get creative. It took a team of 3 UYR volunteers and a few transport legs but we did it! He was picked up in Alabama, then he hitch-hiked a ride to Kentucky, then will travel south to Florida where he will finally arrive in his foster home. He obviously travels well in a car. Everyone who has been part of his journey so far agrees that he is a very sweet boy. Even though hes a Traveling Man he is already receiving much needed care that he has gone without for far too long but all of that stops now. Chopper has received a full exam, a full lab panel, fecal and heart worm testing, initial care for fungal infections, and immunizations. He is going to need much more care once we fatten him up a bit and know that he is healthy enough to schedule a much needed dental and neuter. We have already spent over $500 on just his basic care and his remaining veterinary needs will be more than double that amount so any donations towards Chopper's care would be SO APPRECIATED!
Stay tuned for more details on Chopper but if you have any questions, please contact his Foster Mom. And think about welcoming this very sweet senior boy into your heart and home.
To date we've spent $681.19 on Chopper's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $590 in donations.
For more information, contact my foster parents at: dunedinrescuemom@yahoo.com.

Isabella is a 10 year old 5 pound yorkie girl who is being fostered near Palm Coast, Florida.
THANK YOU TO ISABELLA'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta, Debbi Driscoll
Initial Bio - 8/9/25: Hello UYR friends and family!!! Meet Bella, a precious 5lb, 10 year old little girl looking for her perfect forever home.
Bella came to UYR about a week ago surrendered from a life of breeding. Although she was a little producer, its evident that she was cared for and loved. She came with no teeth but has no problem eating, and already has that little oh so cute tiny tongue hanging out just a little that just melts your heart. She is scheduled for her first vet visit in about a week and will have to be spayed and get all her vacinations done. We already know that she is house trained and loves to watch and chase the lizards around. She knows a few commands such as come and stay. She loves to run in the fenced in yard but comes right away when called. She gets along great with all the other doggies in the house and loves to sit and snuggle by foster Mom & Dads side and just watch TV with us. She sleeps like a little angel in her fluffy dog bed all night. She has plenty of love to give and is excited to start her journey in her new forever home. If you are interested in adopting her, please fill out an application using the link under her bio on the UYR website. Till then Bella will be hanging out in Palm Coast, FL. and please stay tuned for updates!!
To date we've spent $0 on Isabella's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $225 in donations.
For more information, contact my foster parents at: debbij972@bellsouth.net.

Jacque
Meet Jacque a 10 yr old 6 lb boy. Jacque is being fostered near Palm Coast, FL.
THANK YOU TO JACQUE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Less Summergrad, Lee Summergrad, Nestor Sanchez
Initial Bio
8/31/2025:
A big hello from little Jacque! Hey everybody. I am new to the group as an owner surrender due to my former owner experiencing some changes in life where it was determined that she was no longer able to care for me. I am a 10 year old 7lb. old little boy with the energy of a young dog. I am a sweet love bug. I do get along with other dogs my approximate size. Bigger dogs might hurt me accidently as I am pretty little. I am on the quiet side unless I am playing with my favorite squeak toy. I can play with my squeak toy for hours if you let me! Sometimes my foster mommy has to take my squeak toy away and let me rest because I won't stop playing all day! I am good at walking on a leash and I would love to go on outings with you. I am small enough, quiet and well behaved that I can go pretty much anywhere dogs are allowed. I would do OK in a home that has older children but not young children due to my small fragile size. Stay tuned for updates as I am the new boy here!
To date we've spent $576.78 on Jacque's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $340.61 in donations.

Lexi
Lexi is a 3-year-old Yorkie Mix who weighs 15lbs and is being fostered near Palm Coast FL.
THANK YOU TO LEXI'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Cynthia Kirk-Morgan, thank you for Chibi who is the joy of my life!, Mara Tongue; Thank you UYR for without you we would not have Bella!, Wendy Henry, Cheryl Scrupski, Yvette Vangeloff, Nestor Sanchez
Update 8/11/25:
Hi, Lexi here! Just checking in. What have y’all 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 they’re 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 don’t 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 don’t 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! That’s 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.

Lizzie
Lizzie is a 5 year old Yorkie girl who weighs 6 pounds and is being fostered near Stuart ,FL.
THANK YOU TO LIZZIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Nestor Sanchez, Diane Marvin
Updated 10/29/2025
Update: 10/24/25
Lizzie was spayed on 10/21. She received a very light dental cleaning and was microchipped at the same time. She did very well under anesthesia with no issues and is recovering well. Now that she has been with us for a little while, we have learned more about her personality. She plays! She loves belly rubs and will roll over to encourage them. She wants to please.
Lizzie has made noticeable improvements with both her potty manners and separation anxiety. We would not call her fully housebroken yet, but she does very well on a schedule, eliminating outside and using pee wee pads when given access to them. With patience and further training, she has the potential to be fully housebroken.
Lizzie has made friends with another dog her size and enjoys being in the company of other small dogs. So, it seems Lizzie would like to have another small dog companion in her new home. However, we would consider her as an only dog for someone who is often home and will spend a lot of time with her. The separation anxiety Lizzie exhibited when she first arrived is better but not fully resolved.
Lizzie continues to be very sweet and affectionate. She gives lots of kisses, will follow you and stay by your side. She needs a little warm up time to begin with, but once she gets to know you, she is all inthe classic loyal Yorkie!
If you are considering adopting this precious girl, please click the link below to fill out an application.
Initial Bio: 10/1/25
Meet Lizzie! She is 5 years old and weighs just under 6 pounds. She is a beautiful girl with uniquely long legs, a soft coat and is very affectionate. Lizzie prefers to be near her people, in your lap, stretched out next to you, or happy wherever you are. She loves to go for walks and does very well on a leash.
Lizzie was an only dog whose owner unfortunately did not have time for her and made the difficult decision to re-home her through UYR. Currently, Lizzie is displaying signs of separation anxiety which we hope will lessen in time as she settles in and learns to trust.
Lizzie uses pee wee pads overnight and will also potty outside. She is a little inconsistent in the house but is learning and wants to please. She is doing well on a schedule.
Lizzie is healthy and up to date on her vaccinations but needs to be spayed before she can be adopted. Her spay appointment is on 10/21. Her teeth are impressively clean and white but our vet will remove a tiny bit of tartar while shes being spayed. She will also be microchipped on 10/21.
We are still learning about Lizzie! She may do best as an only dog, but so far is getting along with her foster familys 3 Yorkies. We feel she will do best where someone is home more often than not and will thrive with a companion who will return her affection.
A big thank you to Melissa at Happy Tails for grooming Lizzie.
Stay tuned for more updates!
To date we've spent $979.23 on Lizzie's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $300 in donations.

Tyson Too
Tyson is a 14.5 year-old Yorkie boy who weighs 11.5lbs and is being fostered in Clearwater, FL.
THANK YOU TO TYSON TOO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta
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 $486.76 on Tyson Too's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $25 in donations.

Spanky
Spanky is a 11year old (estimated) Yorkie boy being fostered near Elizabethtown, KY.
THANK YOU TO SPANKY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Barbara Lalani, Paul and Patty Kirchner
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.

Cricket
Meet Cricket, an adorable 5.5 Year Old, 7lb Female Yorkie being fostered in Minneapolis, MN. Cricket's adoption fee is $600.
THANK YOU TO COCO BEAN'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Robin Wales
Update 11/2/25: Cricket's showing her spunky playful side as she's warmed up at her foster home; she’s full of kisses, snuggles and wants all the love she can manifest. She likes to be with her person and if separated will whine, and sometimes bark, in displeasure. Her vet check went well, all her labs were great and she won the hearts of the office staff with her sweetness. Cricket weighs 7lbs. and is scheduled for a dental in the near future. During her visit the Dr. identified luxating patella on both rear legs, but she's not in need of surgery, her activity level is great and she isn't experiencing any issues. She loves to play fetch, she’ll keep bringing toys until there’s a pile of toys at your feet! She's a busy girl and needs a home that's active and will play with her and take her on walks, she loves exploring. She walks on a leash and is doing well with going potty outside on a schedule, she uses potty pads inside the house and will go to the door eagerly when she needs to go out or when you give her the opportunity. Her eating schedule adapted very quickly, she eats eagerly in the morning and evening. We don't know how she does with cats, she does well with other small dogs her size, she doesn't seem to care for larger dogs. She hasn't been crate trained, but is doing well during the day staying in a large penned area with a large crate with her bed, allowing her to go in and out when she wants.
Foster mom will update how the dental goes!
Initial Bio 10/16/2025
Cricket was recently surrendered to United Yorkie Rescue due to an unfortunate family circumstance. Cricket was very loved and well taken care of by her family. While they were sad to surrender her, they wanted Cricket to have the attention she deserves.
Cricket appears to be a very happy, energetic, and healthy girl. She will be seeing the dogtor soon for an initial check to confirm her health. Stay tuned for more information.
Donations would be appreciated to help with Crickets medical expenses. Please reach out to Cricket's foster mom with any questions.
To date we've spent $424.82 on Cricket's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $25 in donations.

THANK YOU TO BELLA'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Barbara Burgess, Jan Freeman, Angie Cagle
Update 11/3/25:
Great News! Bella is out of surgery; both stones were removed and there was some additional tissue between the 2 stones which was also removed. Stones and tissue will be sent off for testing. Please continue to keep Bella in your prayers. If all goes well she will come home tomorrow afternoon. Any donations are appreciated as her bill continues to increase.
Initial Bio 11/1/2025:
Bella was surrendered to UYR with 2 huge bladder stones, she was peeing blood, dehydrated, and wouldnt eat. As soon as we got her we took her straight to emergency care clinic. They evaluated her did X-rays, labs, etc. The Vet said these are 2 of the largest bladder stones she had ever seen. They were unable to do surgery at this clinic so we took her to BluePearl they have decided to keep her give her fluids and antibiotics by IV and the surgery will be performed on Monday 11/3. Please keep this sweet little girl in your prayers. If you would like to assist with her medical care your donations would be greatly appreciated. Her medical bill is growing fast. Currently totaling over $2,000 prior to surgery. She will likely be on prescription food for the rest of her life to decrease the risk of ny bladder stones recurring. Please stayed tuned and we will keep you updated on her progress.
To date we've spent $868.75 on Bella (TENNESSEE)'s vet bills, but with your support we've collected $300 in donations.

Update 9/24/25
Sawyer is a beautiful, super sweet young Yorkiepoo just waiting for his forever home. Sawyer would be a great family dog...he is full of energy and ready to play. He is a big boy. Sawyer has been at sleep-away training camp for the past 2 weeks. His trainers say he is doing well. He knows sit and stay very well. This weekend he went to out and about and is learning to not be reactive to other dogs or people. He is also working on heel. When he is finished you will be able to take Sawyer anywhere with no fear of him acting up. We do not normally train dogs prior to adoption however Sawyer was really struggling with self control around other dogs and was unaware of his large size when interacting with dogs smaller than him. There was a concern he could hurt a dog smaller than himself. We were not giving up on this sweet boy so off to trading camp he went. To date UYR has spent $11,449.09. Which includes all vaccines, neuter, leg surgeries, and training. If you feel led to donate to his care that would be greatly appreciated.
Update 06/25/2025 Meet Sawyer, a beautiful super sweet young Yorkiepoos just waiting to find his forever family. Sawyer would be a great family dog. He is ALL puppy! He is a larger boy with long body and beautiful full tail. He is up-to-date on all vaccinations. Potty training is a work in progress. He loves to play. Because of his size it would be best for him to be around dogs closer to his size as he can be a little rambunctious with lots of energy. He will snuggle and loves belly rubs when he takes a minute to stop playing and relax. He likes to sleep in bed with his person. But has also slept in a crate. LOOK NO FURTHER because Sawyer just might be the Pawfect forever match you are looking for.
Update 4/14/25 Poor Sawyer he has had terrible luck lately. First he pulled out is sutures from his neuter which caused him to have another surgery to repair his incision and 14 more days of crate rest. He finally gets healed up and is ready for his forever home. But now that has changed he has injured his left back leg and will be having surgery tomorrow to repair. The specialist said he has a tibial tuberosity avulsion and as that wasn't enough he also has a proximal tibial growth plate fracture. Who knew apparently this is a common issue with puppies. But can be repaired and he will be good as new. Unfortunately it will take at least 6 weeks for this to heal properly after surgery. Therefore Sawyer will not be available for adoption until he his completely healed. If you would like to contribute to his surgery it would be greatly appreciated. Prayers are always welcome. If you don't mind say a few for foster mom too. Sawyer is all puppy and not going to be happy about 6 more weeks of strict crate rest.
Update 4/5/25 Sawyer is ready for his forever home. All healed up from his neuter and ready for fun. Sawyer is a very active fellow. He loves to explore outside and tries to get into mischief if he thinks your not watching. He does good with small children and other dogs his size. We have not tested larger dogs or cats. He would be great for a active family and kids who want to play with him. He will follow you everywhere he gets very excited when you come home. If you think Sawyer might be a good fit for your home please complete an application. You cant go wrong with this playful puppy.
Updated Bio 3/24/25
Sawyer went to the veterinarian last week to get the last of his puppy shots and his neuter. He did great with the surgery, however over the last several days he has not been a very good patient. Foster Mom has tried several methods to keep him from messing with is incisions without much success. Today he had to go back to the veterinarian because he has pulled out some of his staples. He will go back in the morning to have this repaired. As soon as he his healed he will be ready for his furever home. Sawyer is a playful puppy. He does good with small children and other dogs his size. We have not tested larger dogs or cats. His fascination with shoes has improved. He leaves them alone for the most part now. Potty training is in process... He loves to go outside and explore the yard. But he mostly wants to be close by your side waiting for his belly rubs and treats. If you think Sawyer might be a good fit for your home please complete an application. You cant go wrong with this playful puppy.
Update Bio 2/28/25:
Sawyer is a growing boy. He is a fluffy ball of energy. He went this week for his 2nd round of puppy shots and was retested for worms. I can happily tell you he is now worm free! We have scheduled is last round of puppy shots for March 19th. He will also be neutered on this day. He will need a short amount of recovery time. As long as he has no complications, he will be ready for is forever home the following week . Sawyer loves to play. He loves snuggle time. He is a typical puppy so shoes are always at risk if left in is reach. He loves the shred toilet paper and pee pads too. Just like any typical puppy if left alone and free to run he will get into mischief. He is working on potty training. He loves to go outside and run. If you would be interested in adopting Sawyer please complete an application.
Updated Bio 1/31/25
Sawyer is the cutest little boy full of energy and ready to play. Sawyer went to the Vet on Tuesday to get his first round of puppy shots we also did bloodwork which came back today. Overall his bloodwork is good. He is a little anemic but vet says that probably due to the flea infestation. Now that we have that cleared up he expects to see that improve quickly as he grows. They did discover tape worms at his vet appointment so we have been treating for that these last 3 days. He still needs to finish his puppy shots, get neutered, and follow up to make sure we have the tape worms cleared up before he will be ready for adoption.
Initial bio 01/27/2025
Sawyer just arrived he is the sweetest boy. Upon arrival we noticed he was infested with fleas. Foster mom gave him a bath in dawn along with Capstar to kill the fleas. He will go to the dogtor tomorrow to start his first round of shots. He will also be getting neutered soon. Once all of his vaccines, neuter & recovery are complete he will be ready for adoption. Please be patient as we get him up-to-date and ready to go. He loves to cuddle.
To date we've spent $11449.09 on Sawyer's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1450 in donations.

Charlie 25 TX
Meet Charlie 25 TX (we've had a lot of Charlies in TX) who is 3 years old and 12.5 pounds. He is a Yorkie Mix and is being fostered in Georgetown, TX; only Texas applicants will be considered.
THANK YOU TO CHARLIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta
Initial Bio 10/24/25: Oh my goodness. You need to meet Mr. Charlie. I'm not sure where to start, but here it goes. Charlie came to rescue just a couple of days ago. At his young age of around 5, he has had a couple of homes, the last one only being with new owner for 3 months. He slept at night in a room by himself, was alone most of the day and the owner before that kept him in a crate all day. But you know what?
None of that has kept him from being the sweetest, lovable, and most comical little clown.
Charlie is a happy go lucky fella and is excited and happy about life and is exploring everything and loving everybody. Amazing as it sounds with his background he is housetrained, never marked in his foster home, and loves loves loves to be outside. He goes to the door when he wants out and any time his foster siblings go he is right with the pack.
Charlie is in the process of getting his vetting and will most likely have his neuter and dental the first week in November. He would be perfect in a home with a lot of activity, older children that can get him lots of exercise and a nice fenced in back yard to run. We've barely heard him bark!
He hasn't been around small children so older around 12 would be fine; he gets along with dogs, great with small dogs especially. His sibling Old English Sheep dog is good but sometimes Charlie isn't sometimes isn't sure about that.
Charlie is getting his grooming soon but he is so beautiful and fluffy that he will keep his locks and just get a trim. If you think Charlie has a place in your heart and home please complete the application below
To date we've spent $0 on Charlie 25 TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $25 in donations.

After I show FM what I'm all about, I will be back here updating my biography. I am up-to-date on my vaccinations, neutered and have my own microchip.

Talk to you soon.
Coco
Initial bio 10/1/25: Meet this precious 2yr 6lb little boy Coco Bean!! Coco Bean came to us as an owner surrender from a very loving momma. Due to her medical issues and changes in her home life, she chose to find this baby his perfect furever family.
Coco was having tummy issues which we dealt with at the vets. He is now home with his foster momma and thriving. We feel this little one would do best with a momma or daddy or both who are at home. We are working on his best diet, since he was anxious when his former momma would leave on business. We are also socializing this little one and he is already showing us he wants to see and know some of these foster siblings.
Coco Bean is very loving. He will make someone's heart so full! If you feel you might be able to offer him his perfect home, please complete the application below! This little bit of sunshine won't be long in our rescue!!

Gina TX
Meet Gina, a precious 8 year old, 9 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Kyle, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.
THANK YOU TO GINA'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Tracy Cunningham, Sandy Pagnotta, Susan Segalo, Barbara Lalani, Barbara Burgess, Sandra Wendt, Crystal Dicosola, Cindy McKimm, David and Diana Lavine
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 $2321.86 on Gina TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1360 in donations.

THANK YOU TO MICKEY'S RESCUE ANGELS!
David Diep
Initial Bio 10/24/25: Omgoodness, look at this little chunk a monk! He's just adorable. United Yorkie Rescue Mickey just came into rescue and he will be such an amazing blessing to anyone's home. Sadly, his parents have reached a point in their lives that they realize they cannot provide him with all he needs, so with much love in their hearts, he is now in our rescue. Mickey is so docile in nature and he just loves everything and everybody! He's totally housetrained as well.
We see the vet tomorrow and start attending to his needs. He had been extremely healthy all his life, so I'm looking at updating immunizations, a senior panel and a possible dental. Tonight we will be starting this sweet baby on a diet so we can get his weight under control, which will continue to keep him healthy. The only med I am aware of that this little one takes is an eye med for dry eye.
More updates to come. However, if your looking to add a precious love to your home, please send me an application at www.uyr.us. You will just adore this sweet, sweet baby boy!
To date we've spent $1857.99 on Mickey TX's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $200 in donations.

THANK YOU TO MILO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagotta
Initial Bio 10/18/25: Milo is as sweet as pie and will be the perfect addition to any family! He's friendly to everyone and loves people (grown ups and kids) and other dogs. Milo is around 5 years old and about nine pounds. He has the energy for long walks and chasing squirrels in the yard but also enjoys leisurely naps and cuddles with his people. Milo would love to sleep in your bed at night and promises not to take up much room or wake you up! He's a perfect gentleman during bath time and brushing. Milo is a kind and gentle pup who handles a high traffic home well and looks forward to greeting your guests with love and attention. Do be careful with opening the front door though as he can sometimes try for an unexpected outdoor adventure. If you choose Milo, you'll get a loving companion who enjoys adventure and relaxing on the couch with cuddles and love.

Rocco TX
Meet Rocco, a handsome 4 year old, 10 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.
THANK YOU TO ROCCO'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta, Barbara Burgess, David and Diana Lavine, Sandra Wendt, Crystal Dicosola
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.

Fletcher
Meet Fletcher, a sweet 12-year-old, 9 pound Yorkie boy being fostered near Clarksville, VA.
THANK YOU TO FLETCHER'S RESCUE ANGELS!
Sandy Pagnotta, Dan Clauser, Jessica Forrester, Alex LeBlanc
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.
