I did it. I have a forever home.
Magee

3-31-19 Magee got adopted today! Wow, from one of the worst puppy mills in the United States to a forever home. Can anything be better? Magee was one of the 20 dogs United Yorkie Rescue rescued from that awful, horrible puppy mill in Georgia. She came into her foster home never having known life outside of a dirty wire crate or the touch or love of a human person. She had no idea what grass was nor life outside of the warehouse where her crate was stacked one on top of another and another.

Magee thrived in her foster home. She began to allow her Foster Mom to pick her up, which wasn't the case when she first arrived because she had never been handled with loving hands before. She learned about going outside to do her business. She learned that being outside in the fenced yard was a great place to run around and have fun in. Magee discovered toys and how much fun they are to play with. Magee especially learned that people can be kind and loving and that she can trust them.

Magee was learning everything and quickly came to love people. She had all her vetting done and except for dry eye, which will need drops for her life, Magee had it all but her forever home.

Today, at 5 years old, Magee became somebody's baby for the first time in her life. Her new mom works from home so Magee will never be alone. She will be taken on long walks and have a house full of toys and love. Magee is the first of our 20 puppy mill dogs to get adopted. She is so happy and she knows soon enough the others will also get their wonderful forever homes. Hooray, Magee. We are so happy for you.

I love my new mommy and she loves me
Wrigley

3-27-19 Wonderful Wrigley was adopted today. This little 5-year-old guy found himself in the shelter waiting for his family to come find him. Sadly no one came for him until United Yorkie Rescue decided to take a chance on this sweet boy. Yes, we said take a chance because the shelter news was not all good. However, in spite of what the shelter said United Yorkie Rescue could not leave this young, adorable fellow to languish in the shelter any longer. The shelter vet detected a possible grade 5 out of 6 heart murmur. Their vet also said there may be a possibility of Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), though no tests were done to substantiate this. Wrigley did need a dental because he had a lot of tater, and live fleas were found on him. The shelter gave him flea preventative and a dewormer, but nothing else. Wrigley was so happy to be out of that shelter and into his foster home. His foster parents said he is such a good boy. He is active, playful, and full of love for everyone.

Wrigley's foster parents took him to the specialist for an echocardiogram to see how bad his heart really was, and the news was not good. He definitely had a severe heart murmur and he had mitral valve disease. There is no cure of fix for this in a dog, the only hope is that the progression of the heart disease would be slow and Wrigley will have years left. No one will know how quickly the MVD will progress for a few months when he gets his next echocardiogram. Still, even with having MVD the best thing ever happened to Wrigley. Wrigley got adopted. And not only that his new mommy has promised that whatever the next echocardiogram shows, whether he has a year or 10 years she will love him and care for him and be there for him until the very end no matter when that end is. We all hope for a long, long life for Wrigley. There is no better dog ever and if anyone deserves a long happy life it is wonderful Wrigley. We hope he gets it too. Happy tails sweet boy. You life will be nothing but love and more love for now and for however long your forever and ever is.

Hooray for me. I am adopted and I am so happy
Tootsie

3-23-19 Tootsie was adopted today. This sweet girl and her brother were turned into the local shelter by their owner. Her brother was very sick and died that same day, and Tootsie in pain from a big bladder stone was alone in the shelter. The shelter took care of her, they gave her the surgery she needed and found a wonderful resuce to take her. She was in the care of the other resuce for a little while, but she was the only small dog among bigger ones, her foster mom was concerned for her safety. She called United Yorkie Rescue, explained the situation, and of course we would take her. We learned that Tootsie doesn't like children and then found she has some small little tumors around all her nipples except for two. Tootsie underwent another surgery, thankfully the little masses were all benign and once Tootsie was healed she was ready for her forever home. Today Tootsie got her forever home and her new forever family. Tootsie will be the most loved and cared for girl in the world. As soon as Tootsie met her new mom she gave her lots and lots of kisses. She knew she was home at last. We are so so happy for Tootsie. Sweeter than a tootsie roll and twice as good. Happy tails little Tootsie. Your best life started today and will last your lifetime.

I have the best mom and dad. They love me a lot.
Clooney

3-23-19 Clooney was adopted today. Hooray!! Clooney had a sad life prior to coming into United Yorkie Rescue. He was rescued from an open balcony in a high-rise apartment complex by concerned and benevolent strangers. They kept hearing a dog bark for three weeks but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. When they went into the empty apartment to clean it out there they found this young dog who they realized had been abandoned for three weeks. There he was on the open balcony with only a soggy wet bag of dog food, no doggie bed, no toys, no blanket, - nothing but three l-o-n-g weeks of loneliness and despair. Clooney's foster mom promised him that would never ever happen to him again. She assured him from now on until forever he would be loved and cared for. His sad days were over. Today Clooney went to his forever home. His new mom and dad love him so much and couldn't believe how lucky they were that they were chosen to be Clooney's forever mom and dad. Really it is Clooney who is the lucky one. He has a stay at home mom and dad who will love this young boy forever and ever. Clooney is so happy to be their forever boy and have a family of his own, and like his foster mom promoted, forever and ever.

Romeo is so loved by his new mom and dad.
Romeo

3/14/19 After almost 7 months as a United Yorkie Rescue dog Romeo was adopted today. It finally happened. Romeo found his wonderful new mom and dad. Romeo is not able to hold his head up due to a neck and upper spine deformity from birth. After many vet visits, lots of medications tried, and an expensive MRI it was decided that Romeo does not have a life threatening disease nor will his life be shortened because of the deformity. He is such a sweet, loving little dog of only just 5 pounds. Romeo loved his foster home but he preferred getting the love and attention himself. He loves to play with toys, but he mostly loved being held and cuddled by his foster mom. His foster mom knew he needed to be an only dog and today he was adopted by his new mom and dad. He loved them and they loved him from the first. They didn't care that he couldn't always hold his head up and that sometimes he was a little shaky on his feet because of it. They promised him a lifetime of love and happiness. It was a long time coming, but today Romeo found his happily ever after forever.

I love my new mommy and she loves me
Bella

3/14/19 Beautiful Bella was adopted today. Bella spent the first 8 years of her life with her one mommy. Then sadly one day her mommy died and Bella went to live with a family that were relatives of her mommy. As much as Bella wanted a new family, this was not the right one for her. There were little kids who thought she was a toy and tried to carry her all over the place. It was not safe for them to do that and Bella was scared. Not only were there little kids, but there were two young, big dogs who seemed like giants to a dog as small as Bella. They didn't hurt her, they just wanted to play with her. Bella was afraid they would hurt her. Bella was spending most of her time hiding from the kids and the big dogs. Her new family really did love her and they wanted her, but they knew they were not the right family for her, and with much sadness they knew Bella had to become a United Yorkie rescue pup.

Bella did great in her foster home, though things about her health were discovered, and it wasn't all great news. Her spay surgery revealed that she had hydrometra - which is the accumulation of a sterile water or mucous secretion in the uterus. In addition she had a small mammary tumor, which was removed. Her mouth and face were extremely sensitive because the 4 remaining teeth she had were so rotten that pus came out when the teeth were removed.

The other bad news was the vet determined that Bella had Grade 4/6 heart murmur. She had an echocardiogram, which confirmed that her heart murmur is due to Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MVD) - this means that her mitral valve is not working like it's supposed to. The vets said that the MVD is considered mild at this time and she didn't need any treatment/meds, but it may worsen over time. Even with that news her new mom didn't care. She is ready to take Bella into her life, and her heart, and her home, and give her the forever life she needed and deserved. Her new mommy will care for any medical issues that may come up as she gets older and will be there for her until the very end. Bella will be the only dog in her life. Bella will be surrounded with everything she needs now and may need in the future to insure that she has a long and happy life forever.

Rex and his new mom. I love my mom

I have a new home and a new mom
Rex

3-13-19 Rex was adopted today. This adorable 7.5-year-old fellow's former mom could no longer care for him due to her declining health and becoming more and more frail. Rex was becoming confused, anxious, and protective of her. He was being shuffled between family members and being boarded at the vet clinic during the many hospitalizations his former mom was having. Rex is really a sweet dog, but all these changes and the fact that his mom was not there for him anymore was taking its toll on Rex. His former mom's family knew Rex needed to find a stable home where he could get the love and attention he needed for the rest of his life. When Rex became a United Yorkie Rescue dog his foster mom promised him that is exactly what she would make sure he got. Today that happened for this wonderful little guy. Rex will be the only pup in his new mom's life. There is a nice fenced yard and she promised Rex lots of walks and trips to the dog park in case he wanted to play with the other neighborhood dogs. He will share her bed and her life every day for the rest of his life. Rex is so happy, and has given his new mom lots of kisses already. He has the home his foster mom promised him he would have. Happy Tails sweet Rex. Home again, at last.

My new mommies love me so much.
Diva

3-3-19 Sweet Diva was adopted today. What could be sadder then having your mommy die and then be left in your house all alone for over a month? This sweet girl 3-year-old darling was living in a house - alone - for over a month with someone coming in maybe once a day to throw some food down on the floor for her. Her owner died and no one was willing or able to take her. She was not taken out, she was not walked, she was not loved and cuddled and cared for. She lived alone in the house that reeked of her urine and feces. Finally, her kind neighbor approached the person who came to feed her and asked if she could help find Diva a home. That is how Diva became a United Yorkie Rescue dog. Her foster mom took her to the vet, had her bathed and groomed, and loved her every single day. All she needed now was her forever home. That happened today. She was adopted by two wonderful mommies who have promised her to never ever ever leave her along again. She will always be loved and cared for until her very last day, which won't be for a long time. She has a fur brother to play with and a fenced yard to run around in and mommies who work from home. Diva is so happy her tail can't stop wagging. We are so happy for Diva. Nothing but happy days for her every day forever and ever.

Max and Lexie have a wonderful new mom and daddy

Just chilling out and feeling good. I have been adopted
Max (and Lexie)

2/23/19 Max and his sister Lexie were adopted together today. These two adorable, tiny, 11 year old seniors found the most wonderful forever home. Max and Lexie were reluctantly surrendered to UYR because one of their parents had serious health issues, and their other parent was so busy caring for their sick parent, that they were no longer able to care for these two pups the way they needed to be cared for. They wanted them to have a wonderful and loving second home and knew that United Yorkie Rescue would place them together in the perfect home, and today that happened. Their foster mom knew their ideal home should have a mom and/or a dad who are retired and have lots of time to spend with Max and Lexie. Max and Lexie now have a new mommy and daddy who are home all the time and are ready to give these little pups all the love, and care, and attention they will ever need for as long as they need. When they met their new mom and dad their foster mom said she had never seen the two dogs look so happy and be so playful. It was love all around. Max and Lexie have found their forever home and it will be forever.

Emma Grace

2/20/19 Update: I always say God has a plan and this was shown to me once again when sweet Emma Grace came into rescue. She was the stinkiest baby I have ever rescued from a shelter, and had been so neglected for way too long. Immediately I was getting text from a gentleman asking all about her and just so full of love for her story. Surgery for her spay and mammary tumors took a toll on sweet Emma Grace and she suffered a stroke or seizure in recovery and came home with some neuro deficits. I brought her home and have worked daily with her. She walked the walls, she walked into walls, she had sight and she could hear but she was what I say slightly "lost". She loved to eat, she always went potty outside and eventually started running out the door to go outside and running back inside when through. She played with my hand and she wanted to play which was a plus. Yesterday she and Bella actually played! This little girl has a road back but Ron and Phyllis never stopped loving her and today she is tucked into their arms to bring her down that road full of love furever.

I have a forever home and a perfect forever family
Sam Spade

2-9-19 Sam Spade was adopted today and went to his perfect forever home. Sam was surrendered to United Yorkie Rescue because his former owner, who had him since he was a puppy, had a serious medical issue and could no longer care for him. Sam is a very sweet and playful boy who loves being near his person or people all the time, and his foster mommy knew he needed a home where he would not be alone very much. Today was a very special day for Sam because his was adopted by his perfect family. He has a stay at home mom and three human kids who are ready to be Sam Spade's best friends. There is a fenced backyard not only for Sam to run around in, but also a great place for Sam and his new friends to spend time in, a place to have lots and lots of fun. Sam Spade now has a whole family to love him and to call his own.

Tiger

2-8-19 Tiger was adopted today and went to his wonderful forever home. Tiger was sadly surrendered by his owner who had him since he was only 7 weeks old. His first mommy was no longer able to care for him due to her own medical issues and wanted Tiger to have a family who could love him forever and ever. Tiger loved to be the only dog in his first home. He liked to have his family all to himself. He needed that in his forever family to be happy. He loves walks and fun and playing and just having a great time. Today Tiger got all that and more. He is the only dog in his new home and all the love and attention he needed and wanted he will get, and it will be his and his alone. He has a fenced yard and can run and play and have all the fun he wants. The best part of all this is that his new mommy and daddy will be home all day long to be with Tiger to play with him and to love him forever.
