Max
California
Max CA 26

Meet Max, our courtesy listing in Temecula CA. He is a handsome 8-10 year old, 8.4 Yorkie boy who is staying with his owner while a perfect home is found for him. Only California applicants will be considered.

Initial Bio 11/1/26: Max is an adorable Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality, lots of energy, and so much love to give!

We rescued Max in June 2026 from a very difficult environment in Tijuana, Mexico, with the intention of helping him find a safe, loving, and permanent home. Since then, we have been caring for him, observing his behavior, learning about his personality, and getting to know his needs so we can find the perfect forever family for him.

His veterinarian estimates that he is approximately 810 years old, and he weighs around 8.4 pounds. But don't let his age fool you Max is full of energy!

The Wonderful Things About Max

Max is an excellent walking companion! We take him on two walks every day, and he happily walks for as long as we want. He absolutely loves going to the park, riding in the car, and being included in everyday activities. He is house-trained and knows to ask to go outside when he needs to use the bathroom. Occasionally, he may have an accident if we miss his signals and don't let him out in time.

Max LOVES food! He is a great eater and isn't picky at all. He especially enjoys hanging out in the kitchen while I'm cooking because he knows he might get a little taste of something delicious!

He is also an incredibly devoted little companion who follows me everywhere. Wherever I go, Max is usually right behind me!

One of his favorite times of the day is when we settle down to watch TV. He knows this means he gets to curl up next to me and take a cozy nap. It's one of his sweetest little routines.

At night, Max sleeps in our bed, peacefully sleeping through the night until approximately 7:00 a.m.

Because Max doesn't enjoy being picked up, we have made a few simple accommodations that work beautifully for him. He has his own little stairs to climb onto the bed or furniture, and we also use steps to help him get in and out of the car. This allows him to be independent and comfortable without needing to be lifted.

Max gets along with other dogs and is not generally aggressive toward them. However, he can become jealous and bark quite a bit when another dog approaches me or tries to get my attention.

Understanding Max's Special Needs

Through the months we have spent caring for Max, we have learned that he is sensitive to being picked up, physically handled in certain ways, or being yelled at. These situations can make him anxious and may trigger defensive reactions, including biting.

Interestingly, Max absolutely LOVES bath time! He enjoys the warm water and remains calm and cooperative throughout his bath. He allows us to bathe him without any problems and seems to genuinely enjoy the experience! This has helped us understand that Max is not uncomfortable with all forms of physical contact. He simply has certain boundaries that need to be respected.

Max needs a calm, patient person who understands that trust cannot be rushed. He responds best to gentle treatment, consistency, positive reinforcement, and having his personal boundaries respected.

The Best Fit for Max Would Be:

We believe Max would thrive in a peaceful home with either a single person or a couple without other dogs. Although he can coexist with other dogs, we feel he would be happiest as the only dog, where he can enjoy his person's undivided attention.

His ideal adopter would be someone who enjoys daily walks, spending time with a devoted little companion, and sharing the simple pleasures of life with a dog who truly loves being close to his person.

We are especially looking for someone who is patient, gentle, and willing to help Max continue building trust, particularly when it comes to physical handling. His new family should understand that he may never enjoy being picked up, and that is perfectly okay.

A Forever Commitment

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is genuinely serious about making a lifelong commitment to Max. Max has already been through so much in his life. We rescued him because we wanted to give him a second chance, and we have taken the time to truly understand him so that his next home can be the right one. We want to avoid putting Max through the emotional stress of being returned or rehomed again because someone wasn't fully prepared for his needs. He deserves a family that will love him not only for his wonderful qualities but also with patience and understanding for the challenges he is still working through. We are not simply looking for someone to adopt Max. We are looking for someone who will love him, protect him, respect his boundaries, and make him part of their family for the rest of his life.

Our greatest wish is for Max's next home to be his last a place where he can finally feel safe, secure, loved, and truly belong. Max has so much life, love, and companionship left to give. All he needs is that special person willing to give him the forever home he deserves. ?

Baxter

Baxter is a 12 year old yorkie boy, weighing a skinny 6 lbs., being fostered in New Smyrna Beach, FL

THANK YOU TO BAXTER'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Barbara Burgess

Bio update: 10/28/2026

Baxter is a charming 12-year-old boy with a heart full of love and so much affection to give! He's a gentle, easygoing sweetheart who makes it easy to fall in love with him.

Baxter does well with his house training overall, although he has had a few accidents. Since he rarely barks, its important to watch for his signals that he needs to go outside. He enjoys exploring his fenced backyard and absolutely loves his walks! Don't let his age fool you...this boy still has plenty of pep in his step.

Food is another one of Baxter's favorite things! He's definitely not a picky eater, and if someone is chopping food in the kitchen, you can bet he'll be right there at their feet, hoping for a tasty little treat to fall his way. He enjoys apples, blueberries, oranges, and tiny pieces of chicken. Because Baxter is missing nine teeth, he eats soft food only, so his meals and treats need to be easy for him to manage.

Baxter has been marking his territory indoors since coming into a home with another dog, so he is currently wearing a belly band. He is scheduled to be neutered, and we hope this behavior will improve afterward, although there are no guarantees. With a little patience and understanding, his forever family can help him continue adjusting to his new life.

Bath time? No problem! Baxter was a perfect gentleman for his bath and even stood very still while his foster mom gave him a little trim to show off his handsome good looks. What a good boy!

But Baxters favorite place in the world isn't the backyard, the kitchen, or even out on a walk...its right beside his person. He loves following you from room to room and would be delighted if you picked him up and settled him beside you on the couch. He's the perfect little sidekick, happiest when he can be close to the person he loves. At bedtime, he prefers to settle at the foot of the bed, where he can rest easy knowing you're nearby.

And while Baxter loves companionship, hes also a good boy when you need to leave the house. He is kennel-trained and will happily nap while his foster mom runs errands, without making a fuss.

Could Baxter be the loving companion youve been looking for? He doesnt ask for muchjust a cozy place to rest, gentle care, yummy soft meals, daily walks, and someone who wants a faithful little shadow by their side. In return, he'll give you the sweetest companionship and the kind of love that makes even ordinary days feel special.

Baxter is a true charm, and hes ready to find the person who will make his golden years his happiest ones yet. Could that person be you?

Initial bio: 10/26/2026

Meet Baxter, This handsome boy comes to us after his owner's life changed. We got you Baxter, you will get the time and attention you deserve and I hear your new foster Mama has plans to fatten you up some! Stay tuned to see how this little one progresses.

Diesel

Diesel is a 13 year old Yorkie Poo Boy, weighs 9 lbs. and is being fostered in St. Augustine, FL

THANK YOU TO DIESEL'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Douglas MacLaughlin, Annmarie Anderson, Barbara Burgess

Update: 10/1/2026

Hey Everyone. Its Diesel again. My nickname was D Boy so I answer to D most times.

I came to my new foster home a little sad. ? My mommy had some big life changes including a move to Florida and a new job that required her to travel for long periods of time. It was the ultimate sacrifice for my mom to give me to United Yorkie Rescue so that I could live out my golden years having someone home with me most of the day. FM says ThatI have severe anxiety. As I get older, it comforts me to have someone with me at all times.

My first afternoon was difficult. I did a lot of crying and whining. It was all pretty confusing, but by the first night, I calmed down and fell asleep next to my FM on the couch.

Now, Im pretty calm and comfortable but Im still very anxious. I get along with my two foster siblings, Teddy Bear & PoppyBelle, very well. They are a little older like me and I like their calmness. They are helping me see that its safe here. FM says I am the most gentle, calm, and chill pup. Im very quiet and really dont bark at all, even when my foster siblings do. Im not much of a lap pup but I do like to stay close to my person. Since my foster siblings follow FM around, I do too, now. I do need a home with someone thats with me most of the time.

Im really good at potting outside and using potty pads inside. My FM says that Im pretty independent outside. I walk on a leash very well and love to go on walks. I am eating well. I really like meal time and getting treats. FM says Im a good puppy! Ive been sleeping in bed with Teddy Bear, PoppyBelle, and FM. Its very quiet and I sleep the whole night through!

I just had my vet checkup today. I didnt really appreciate the checkup since didnt know her at all, but the vet said Im in pretty good heath for a senior! I was really glad to get out of there.

I am adjusting pretty well in my new foster home. FM says Im the greatest senior boy and I deserve a calm household with a gentle person who will support me with my anxiety. I will be your quiet, loving shadow, and a lifelong companion. If you think Im a good fit, please fill out an application using the link below my bio.

Emory

Emory

Emory is a tri-colored yorkie boy, he is one and a half years old, weighs 6lbs, being fostered in Ponte Vedra, FL

Bio update: 10/24/2026

Hi there! My name is Emory, and I'm a 1-year-old, 6-pound, tri-colored Yorkie with a BIG personality packed into my tiny body!

I'm a happy, energetic little guy who loves being on the go. Walks, outdoor adventures, and exploring the world with my favorite people are some of my favorite things. I'm always ready to see what fun awaits! But don't let my adventurous side fool you. When the excitement winds down, I'm more than happy to snuggle up and soak in all the love and affection you have to give.

I'm also a great little traveler who rides nicely in the car, and I think wearing T-shirts is pretty special, too! Who says a boy cant be both adventurous and fashionable?

Now, Ill be honest with you: I'm still working on my house manners. My previous people weren't too concerned about them, but my foster Mom believes a little guidance and consistency go a long way! Ill need a family who is patient with me and willing to continue helping me learn the ropes.

Ill be visiting the vet next week, and after my neuter, Ill be ready to start searching for my very own forever family.

My dream home is one where Ill be loved, included in family activities, and given plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy life. In return, I promise to fill your days with puppy kisses, playful antics, snuggles, and all the wonderful things that come with loving a little Yorkie with a BIG heart! Having a playmate would be pretty nice too. I like to play with the resident dog!

Could you be the special person I've been waiting for? I have so much love to give, and I cant wait to find the family who will cherish me forever.

Love and little Yorkie kisses,

Emory

Jax

Jax

Adoption Pending, APPLICATIONS CLOSED!! Jax is a 14 month old, Parti Yorkie, weighing a very skinny 2.7 pounds and is being fostered in Saint Petersburg, FL

THANK YOU TO JAX'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Allison Bertucca, Sandy Pagnotta, Sandy Pagnotta, Louis DelTufo, Stephanie Honzik, Susan Hayes

Bio Update:10/21/2026

Jax is an adorable little boy with a big heart! He loves being held, cuddling, and giving kisses, but hes also comfortable entertaining himself. This playful little guy has a wonderful balance of affection and independence that makes him a joy to have around.

Jax is pee-pad trained, and when he gets to go outside during the day, he does not have accidents in the house. He sleeps through the night, gets along well with children and other small dogs, and is gaining weight every day. Hes almost 3 pounds now and growing stronger by the day!

Jax is currently receiving his vaccinations and has already been microchipped. Next week, hell have pre-surgical bloodwork before we schedule his dental and neuter surgery to address an undescended testicle. Once he has completed these procedures and is ready for adoption, hell be looking for a loving forever home.

What kind of home would make Jax happiest? Ideally, his new person would be home during the day to give him the love and attention he deserves. He would also love having a small canine companion to play with and keep him company.

Jax is making wonderful progress, and we cant wait to see him continue to grow and thrive. Well keep you posted on his journey toward finding his forever family!

Initial Bio: 10/14/2026

This very skinny boy comes to us after being returned to a breeder. It is apparent that he has suffered neglect, he is underweight, anemic, has a mouth full of bad teeth, has parasites, and is not neutered.

Since his vetting will be costly, we were asked to take him in, and of course, we said yes. He will need to gain weight before his surgeries can take place, so please watch for updates as we get to know this little nugget.


To date we've spent $866.23 on Jax's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $225 in donations.

Joey
Florida
Joey FL

Joey is a 2-year old, 8.6 pound long haired chihuahua being fostered in Flagler Beach, FL.

THANK YOU TO JOEY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Nestor Sanchez, Joel Tobiansky

Update: 10/17/2026

Joey is a very sweet, friendly little boy who loves giving kisses to everyone he meets! Since being rescued from a hoarding situation, this adorable 8.5-pound pup has made tremendous progress. With proper nutrition, room to play, and loving care, Joey has gained two pounds and is building muscle. After spending much of his life confined to a crate, he is discovering the joys of running, playing, and simply being a dog. Watching him blossom has been a wonderful reminder of what love and proper care can do!

Joeys Ideal Home

Someone home most of the day: A retiree or someone who works from home would be ideal. Joey deserves companionship and a life where he isn't left alone for long periods.

A securely fenced backyard: Joey loves to run, explore, and play outside, so a fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus.

Possibly a canine companion: Joey enjoys playing with other dogs, including larger dogs. A friendly, accepting dog who is a good match for Joey could make a wonderful playmate. Each potential match must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure compatibility.

A patient, understanding adopter: Joey is still learning the routines of a happy home and will need time, consistency, and encouragement as he continues to adjust.

A Few Things to Know About Joey

Potty training: This is still a work in progress, but Joey does use pee pads. His adopter will need patience as he continues learning.

Mealtime: Joey is a very slow eater who prefers to graze throughout the day. If he lives with another dog, he will need to learn to eat within a reasonable time and have a separate, safe place to eat away from food-stealing pets. A small crate could serve as his own cozy man cave for meals while he learns a new routine.

Protective barking: Joey is devoted to his person and may bark when someone enters the home, especially if he cannot see who is coming in. His family should understand this behavior and help him feel secure while working on appropriate responses.

Cats: We don't yet know how Joey would do with cats.

Could Joey Be Your New Best Friend?

Joey has come so far, and there is so much more potential waiting to shine! He loves to run, play, socialize with other dogs, and share kisses with his favorite people. With a loving home, patient guidance, and plenty of companionship, Joey can continue to grow in confidence and enjoy the wonderful life he deserves.

If you have a heart ready for a little dog with lots of love to give, Joey may be the perfect companion for you!

7/4/26 Update:

Here is an update on Joey's progress as he learns to explore his new world and find love along the way.

After coming from a hoarding situation where he had emotionally shut down, Joey is making great strides in his foster home and continues to surprise his foster mom every day. His nickname is "Speedy," as he loves to run and play in the backyard with the neighbor's dog. While he is still mastering house-training, he is doing very well in this area. Because he is so fast, having a fenced in yard is a must and it will also help with house training.

Joey has discovered toys and is learning how to be playful. He has also become quite the cuddle bug, snuggling up to his person whenever possible. While he can still be very vocalperhaps as a protective measurehe is certainly coming out of his shell, and his foster mom is learning to decipher his cues. Joey gets along well with other dogs and currently lives comfortably with a large dog in his household.

Stay tuned for more updates on Joeys journey to find his forever home.

5/20/26 Initial Bio: 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!

Mickey

Mickey is a tiny 4.6 lb, 10 year old, Heartworm Positive, yorkie boy, being fostered in St.Augustine, FL

THANK YOU TO MICKEY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Mary Ann Roberts, Sandy Pagnotta, Barbara Burgess, John Sauser, Sandy Pagnotta

Bio update: 10/1/2026

Nearly two weeks ago, Mickeys life began to change. After spending time living outside and in a noisy shelter, he is finally experiencing what every little dog deserves: a comfortable home, soft blankets, cozy beds, good food, and loving care.

Mickey recently had a complete veterinary examination. As previously shared, he is heartworm positive, and his veterinarian has started him on a monthly treatment protocol. He was also diagnosed with a grade 3/6 heart murmur and will take Vetmedin for the rest of his life. Additionally, Mickey has cataracts in both eyes with only peripheral vision, but after a few days of learning the layout of the house, he now gets around just fine.

When Mickey arrived, he weighed just 4.6 pounds. His veterinarian would like to see him reach about 6 pounds, and he is already making progress. Once he reaches his goal weight, Mickey will undergo dental surgery. His dental disease is severe, and he will likely lose most, if not all, of his teeth. For now, his foster mom helps him with his meals to ensure he gets the proper nourishment. After recovering from dental surgery, Mickey will be neutered.

Despite everything he has been through, Mickey is a happy little dog with a lot of love to give. He can be timid when first meeting someone, but with time, he begins to trust and show his sweet personality.

Because of his medical needs, Mickey will remain in our care for a while longer. Every day brings him one step closer to the healthy, comfortable life he deserves, and we can't wait to see the happy little dog he becomes.

Initial Bio: 9/19/2026

Meet Mickey! This tiny boy was brought to the shelter when his owner was no longer able to care for him. It was evident from the beginning that he had been neglected for a long time, and it is even believed he was living outside. He arrived dirty, matted, flea-ridden, with ear infections, and with severe bad breath suggesting a dental infection.He is Heartworm Positive.

Once at the shelter, it became clear that Mickey needed more medical care than they could provide. They reached out to United Yorkie Rescue, and we naturally said yes! He will need to be neutered and undergo a dental procedure, but he must gain a little weight before he can safely have surgery. He will also need several months of Heartworm treatment!!

Stay tuned for updates as we get to know this sweet little guy.


To date we've spent $2038.83 on Mickey's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $675 in donations.

Update 10/26/26

Hi there! It's Winnie the Pooh! Oh, bother! It's just me, Sandy! Happy Halloween from the Hundred Acre Wood! I had a lot of fun dressing up as Winnie the Pooh. Can you tell by my smile? My foster mom thought it would be perfect to place my photo right in the Hundred Acre Wood so here I am. It's a good thing she didn't forget to leave me some hunny!

Back in August, I had a portosystemic shunt surgery. I'm doing fantastic and so happy to be back to my normal routine and doing the things I love again. I am having the best time in my foster home! I love exploring different parks on our daily walks, going to the beach and even watching the sunrise. Running around the fenced-in backyard is one of my absolute favorite things to do. With my beautiful coat catching the breeze as I zoom by, my foster mom thinks I'm a total cover-dog model. Oh, and I love playing with squeaky toys!

I'm scheduled to have some blood work done in the middle of November and, if everything looks good, I will be ready for my forever home. I will need a dental cleaning down the road so please keep that in mind as we plan our future together.

As much as I enjoy saying hi to my doggie friends on walks, I would thrive as the one-and-only in the home, soaking up all the love and belly rubs. I am so deeply loved by my foster mom, who tells me I'm the most lovable, sweetest and joyful little Pooh bear. She always says my forever family is going to be so lucky to share life with me.

I must go now. I'm so rumbly in my tumbly!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email my foster mom at seashore.yorkies@gmail.com.

Update 9/28/26

Hi! It's me, Sandy. I wanted to give everyone an update on my portosystemic shunt surgery and recovery. I'm feeling great and I have a very good appetite now. Before the surgery, I didn't want to eat much and my foster mom had to hand feed me wet food because she didn't want me to lose any more weight, but now I just dig right in the bowl and eat all my kibble. My one-month follow-up confirmed that both my comprehensive blood panel and Protein C levels are within the normal range. My bile acid levels are still elevated as my liver continues to heal. I will have another bile acid test in December, and if those numbers are good, I will be ready for my forever family. I will need a dental cleaning in the future, but the most important thing for me right now is for my body to continue healing. If you adopt me, please also keep in mind my dental for my future medical expenses.

After my surgery, I was on restricted activity, but now I'm enjoying all my favorite activities again and this makes me SO happy! I go to different local area parks for my walks and foster mom brings my stroller and I do a combination of walking and riding in my stroller, which I absolutely love. You can take me anywhere you want in my stroller and I'm a perfect little girl taking in everything around me. I am quite the social butterfly and want to say hi to every doggie friend I see, my tail wags so fast, I just cant help it! Even though I enjoy meeting new doggie friends, I would be happiest being the one and only dog in the household soaking up all the love and belly rubs. I really enjoy going to the beach too and I hope I can continue doing this in my forever home. I get anxious in the car and pant, but foster mom says I do so much better on the way home so if I have a little drive to my forever home, she will take me on a walk beforehand.

I hold a very special place in my foster moms heart and she says I am the most beautiful, sweetest lovable dog with the softest fur. She always tells me how much she loves me and that whoever adopts me is getting someone very special and I'm worth every bit of the wait.

Update 8/20/26

Hi! It's Sandy! I wanted to give an update on my liver shunt surgery. First of all, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all your support and donations to help with my liver shunt surgery. United Yorkie Rescue has spent a lot of money on my veterinary care as I had a lot of catch-up to do on my medical needs when I came into rescue. My liver shunt was a surprise to us. I had my liver shunt surgery and spay on Aug. 13th and my surgery went very well. I have a big ouchie on my belly now, but I'm back home with my foster mom recovering. Yay!!! We certainly missed each other and I know foster mom was worried about me. I want to be with her all the time and whine if she is not with me so foster mom spends a lot of time in my x-pen with me. We fall asleep on my big doggie bed in the x-pen and it is just so comfortable being together again. My foster mom says I certainly have been through a lot, but my happy, sweet, lovable self, shines through it all.

I have a lot of medication to take, and some of it tastes terrible. Yucky! But the good news is that I am almost done with most of my medications. My foster mom removed my bandage after three days, just like the surgeon asked and he said the incision looks good. I have an appointment on Aug. 24th to get my staples removed. I am on restricted activity for 2 months and think once I start feeling better, this will be quite challenging for foster mom. I will need some follow-up blood work to check my liver values. Down the road, once the doctor gives the green light, I will get my dental cleaning and finally be ready for my forever home!

Thank you for reading my update and for being by my side on this path. I have a long road ahead of me, but I'm so thankful United Yorkie Rescue was able to get me the lifesaving surgery I needed and any help with my medical bills means a lot to me.

Love, Sandy

Update: 8/6/26

Sandy is a beautiful 5-year-old 12lb. Morkie who is being fostered in Palm Coast, FL. She is just as sweet and lovable as she looks. Sandy loves to go on walks and is quite the social butterfly and going to the beach is her absolute favorite. Sandy said don't forget to mention how much I love my belly rubs!

Sandy came into United Yorkie Rescue when her previous family had to go overseas. She needed a lot of catch-up veterinary care which United Yorkie Rescue fully provided. Her heartworm test was negative on June 4th, but she will need to be retested in 7 months as she was not on monthly preventatives. She has patellar luxation with no current clinical signs. Sandy had her spay and dental scheduled for July 29th and her pre-op bloodwork ALT values were elevated. The following day she had a bile acid test and her numbers were very high. Sandy had an appointment with an Internal Medicine Specialist the next day for a consultation and completed a Protein C blood test. The specialist suspects Sandy may have a liver shunt and to get a definitive answer we scheduled a CT scan for the following week. The Protein C blood test along with her other blood tests and CT scan confirmed Sandy does have a liver shunt. We have a consultation with the surgeon next week and then the liver shunt surgery will be scheduled.

We are so thankful Sandy came to United Yorkie Rescue so we can get her the care she needs to feel better. Sandy has a long road ahead and her foster mom is going to be by her side every step of the way. Can you help us help Sandy? Every single gift, no matter how small, means everything to us right now and brings Sandy closer to the life-saving surgery she needs. Thank you so much for reading, sharing this post, or donating.

We look forward to the day when Sandy can enjoy all her favorite things again. Sandy is still her happy, sweet, lovable, beautiful self and holds a special place in her foster moms heart.

update 7/6/26

Sandy is a beautiful 5-year-old 12 lb. Morkie fostered in Palm Coast, FL. Sandy came to United Yorkie Rescue when her previous family had to go overseas. She was way behind on her veterinary care and now all that has been taken care of by United Yorkie Rescue. Sandys heartworm test was negative, but since she was not on any monthly preventatives she will need to have another heartworm test done in 7 months. She has her spay and dental scheduled for July 29th and after she recovers will be ready for her forever home.

Sandy must be adopted locally to where she is being fostered in Palm Coast as she gets anxious in the car. Foster mom has been taking Sandy on short trips to get her used to being in the car. Sandy LOVES to say hi to her dog friends on walks at the park and goes on her hind legs when she sees a dog and hops over to them with her tail going a mile a minute and it is the cutest thing. This sweet, social butterfly loves making doggie friends at the park, but at the end of the day, Sandy is looking for someone who is home most of the day and thrives on being your one and only in the household soaking up all your attention, cuddles and love. Belly rubs are her absolute favorite and oh does she have the softest fur ever! She has a lot of fun playing with toys, especially the squeaky ones.

Sandy enjoys having a fenced in backyard to run around and explore and we promised her she would have one in her forever home, but she must also go on walks daily as this truly makes her happy. She has the most adorable bouncy walk and you can see the pure joy radiating from her. Sandy is the perfect little girl to take in her stroller to BJs, PetSmart and anywhere dogs are allowed or even if you want to bring her out to eat. Sandy is so admired by many people who constantly approach her just to say hello, and she brings so much joy to everyone around her and makes people smile. Sandy is an incredibly lovable, sweet, beautiful little girl who holds a very special place in her foster moms heart. We are looking for a forever family who will cherish her just as deeply.

Update 6/7/26

Sandy, fka Tootsie, is a gorgeous 5 year old, 12lb Morkie. She came into United Yorkie Rescue when her mom got transferred overseas and could not take Sandy with her. Sandy has had a busy few days since coming into United Yorkie Rescue. She had a 3 hour car ride to her foster home. Sandy was way behind on her veterinary care. She is now all up to date on her vaccinations, blood work, fecal screening, urinalysis and on monthly preventatives with no health issues noted. Sandys heartworm test was negative, but since she was not on monthly preventatives, she will need to have another heartworm test done in 7 months. Her spay and dental will be scheduled shortly. Sandy had a spa day and was a perfect little girl. I can now see those beautiful eyes of hers and she has the softest fur.

Although Sandy has only been in her foster home for 4 days, her foster mom can tell you that she is a beautiful, very sweet, lovable, happy girl who LOVES belly rubs always flopping on her back. She even sleeps on her back a lot with her paws up in the air and it is the cutest thing to watch. Sandy sleeps soundly through the night and in the morning her tail wags so fast when her foster mom says, Good morning Sandy. She is having a fun time exploring the backyard and running around. She is so happy out on her walks and does the cutest bouncy walk and makes people smile. Sandys foster mom adores her and is excited to take Sandy to all the places she enjoys walking and getting to know this precious little girl who already holds a special place in her heart.

Initial bio 6/4/26

Tootsie has just come into UYR after her Mom got transferred overseas and just could not take Tootsie with her. She reached out to us and we said yes. Stay tuned until we get to know this sweetie a little better.

Toby Keith

courtesy listing for Toby Keith, He is a 8 year old chunky 15lb yorkie boy being fostered in Lake Worth, FL

Initial Bio: 9/25/2026

Meet Toby Keith!

Toby Keith is an adorable 8-year-old cuddle bug weighing in at a chunky 15 poundsand dont let his age fool you! This boy has plenty of energy and loves to run, play, and show off his impressive jumping skills. Once he gets going, you would never guess hes 8!

Toby is a super-velcro dog who absolutely loves his person. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest when he can be right by your side. He enjoys being active and will need regular exercise to help him stay healthy and reach a more comfortable weight.

A securely fenced yard is a must for Toby. He loves chasing lizards and exploring, and if given the opportunity, he is more than happy to take himself on an adventure! His new family will need to be diligent about keeping doors and gates securely closed.

Toby also enjoys going for walks, but he does best in a quiet neighborhood with minimal distractions and few, if any, other dogs around. A calm environment where he can enjoy his walks without becoming overwhelmed will be ideal.

Toby does have some behaviors that make his placement especially important. He can be protective of his food, toys, and favorite person, so he needs an experienced adopter who understands resource guarding and is comfortable providing consistent boundaries, structure, and positive guidance. Because of this, Toby must be the only dog in the home and cannot be placed with children.

Toby is a special little guy who has so much love to give. For the right person, he will be a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to be your best buddy and stay close by your side.

If Toby Keith sounds like the boy you've been looking for, please email yorkiesrj2006@gmail.com for more information or submit an adoption application through United Yorkie Rescue at unitedyorkierescue.org.

Update: 10/16/2026

Meet Toto Your Future Best Friend and Professional Cuddle Bug!

Toto, a loving 10-year-old little boy who is ready to fill someones life with companionship, cuddles, and unconditional love! This sweet boy is the definition of a lapdog and would be happiest spending his days right by your side.

Toto loves everything about being with his person. Whether hes snuggled in your lap, sleeping beside you, joining you for a car ride, or tagging along on an outing, he wants to be wherever you are. Hes a true Velcro pup who will happily keep you company and remind you every day how special it is to be loved by a dog.

Toto has a few special needs that his forever family will need to understand. He has a chicken allergy, so his diet must be completely free of chicken. He also loves food a little too much! He must be monitored around mealtimes because hell happily help himself to another pets food if given the opportunity.

Toto has no teeth, so his little tongue hangs out, giving him an extra dose of charm. But dont worryhis toothless smile doesnt stop him! He can eat, drink, and deliver the sweetest big, wet kisses just like any other pup.

Toto also enjoys the company of another small dog and loves having a little buddy to play with. A home with a friendly small canine companion could be just the ticket for this affectionate little guy.

If youre looking for a devoted companion who wants to share your couch, your car rides, your quiet moments, and your heart, Toto may be your perfect match. He has so much love to give and is ready to spend his golden years being cherished just as he deserves.

Could you be the special person Toto has been waiting for? Hes ready to be your little shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your very best friend!

Update: 7/11/26

Toto is a very smart, well-behaved, sweet little character. He has a big personality that shines through the moment you meet him, and his adorable ways of communicating will keep you laughing.

Toto is TRULY the definition of a lap dog and loves nothing more than being near his human. If you are looking for a cuddle bug who gives lots of kisses, he is your guy! He is highly affectionate and would not be happy being left home alone on a regular basis.

Toto has no teeth, likely due to past dental neglect or breed characteristics, which means his little tongue is often sticking out. It only adds to his cuteness and does not impede his excellent appetite. He eats wet food and small, soft snacks, preferring beef as chicken upsets his stomach. You may just need to stir his food halfway through to help him finish.

He knows his name and comes when called, especially for car rides. He is house-trained, knows his manners, and will let you know when it is time to go outside. While he knows how to walk on a leash, he prefers short outings in the yard. A fenced in yard would be great.

Toto gets along well with other dogs and frequently initiates play like a puppy. For his safety due to his small size, he would do best with another small (under 20lbs) dog.

Toto is currently being fostered in Palm Coast and is waiting for his forever family. If you are looking for an adorable companion with a big personality and a lot of love to give, please fill out an application today to make this little guy's dreams come true!

Update:6/20/26

Say hello to the cutest little man on the planet! Toto is nine years young and a happy boy who loves being with his person at all times. He is a true "snuggle bunny" who enjoys physical contact and giving plenty of kisses. He also loves car rides and outings.

Toto gets along well with other pups his size and would prefer a home with a playmate, as he frequently initiates playtime throughout the day. He also loves to eat! While he has lost all of his teeth due to past neglect or breed characteristics, this does not hinder his appetite. Mealtime is his favorite time, though you will need to stir his food halfway through to help him finish. His hanging tongue doesnt impede him at allit only makes him cuter.

If you are looking for a loving, lifelong companion, Toto is your man. Please fill out an application at the link below or email his foster Mom with any questions.

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 house trained and will let you know when it's time to go potty. 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.

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 VALENTINO'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Mary Ann Roberts, Sandy Pagnotta, Barbara Burgess, Bret Park, Angie Cagle

Bio update: 10/1/20260

Valentino here with an update

Ive been with my wonderful foster family for almost two weeks now, and I'm loving every minute of it! It feels so amazing to leave the hot outdoors and the noisy shelter behind. Now, I get to enjoy two cozy laps, delicious meals, a soft bed, and endless love and affection.

I'm making great progress learning to go potty outside, and I wear a belly band because I still have accidents.

Ive had a couple of vet visits, too. My first blood test showed I was very anemic probably from the nasty flea infestation I had, but my latest checkup showed huge improvement! I weigh 4.4 pounds now and am happily eating to gain two more pounds so I can get my dental care and neuter done. It will be quite a while before I can be adopted. You can contact my foster Mom for more information and keep an eye out here for more updates as my health progresses.

I am such a happy, sweet boy and can't wait for more cuddles!

Initial Bio: 9/19/2026

Meet Valentino! This tiny boy was brought to the shelter when his owner was no longer able to care for him. It was evident from the beginning that he had been neglected for a long time, and it is even believed he was living outside. He arrived dirty, matted, flea-ridden, with ear infections, and with severe bad breath suggesting a dental infection.

Once at the shelter, it became clear that Valentino needed more medical care than they could provide. They reached out to United Yorkie Rescue, and we naturally said yes! He will need to be neutered and undergo a dental procedure, but he must gain a little weight before he can safely have surgery.

Stay tuned for updates as we get to know this sweet little guy.


To date we've spent $1512.24 on Valentino's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $795 in donations.

Willy

Willy is a 12 year old Yorkie Gentleman, weighs 9 lbs, and is being fostered near Bradenton, FL

THANK YOU TO WILLY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Arlene Ronen

Update: 10/18/2026

Meet Willy!

Hi there! I'm Willy, a sweet 12-year-old gentleman who's just settling into my foster home. It's only been a few days, so I'm still a little shy, but I'm warming up more every day and my foster family is having so much fun getting to know me.

I'm a calm, easygoing guy who believes a good nap is one of life's greatest pleasures (and I take my naps very seriously). When I'm not snoozing, you'll find me on slow, leisurely walks catching up on the neighborhood "peemail." A gentleman has to stay informed, after all!

My foster family has noticed that I don't seem to hear very well, so I'm sometimes off in my own peaceful little world. A gentle touch or a wave helps me know you're there. And I promise I can still hear the treat bag. Probably. ?

I'm a big fan of mealtime. Food is my love language, which also makes me very easy to motivate. I get along well with other dogs, I'm told I'm fine with cats, and I seem to really love kids, too.

I'll be seeing the vet for my first check-up in the next few days, and they'll take a look at my hearing too. My foster family will share more as they get to know me. So far they say I'm loving, gentle and an all-around good boy.

If you're looking for a mellow companion to share cozy naps, slow strolls and plenty of snacks, I might just be your guy. ?

Initial bio: 10/16/2026

Meet Willy!! this gentleman comes to us sadly after his owner passed away. The family travels and cannot care for him properly so he is now a UYR dog. Welcome Willy.

Spanky

Spanky is a 11year old (estimated) Yorkie mix boy who weighs 10.5 lbs. He is being fostered near Elizabethtown, KY.

THANK YOU TO SPANKY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Barbara Lalani, Paul and Patty Kirchner

Update 06/12/26

Spanky is a loving little companion whose favorite place is right beside his person. Whether he's curled up next to you on the couch, snuggled beside you in bed, or following you from room to room, Spanky is happiest when he's close to the one he loves. In fact, on a chilly night, this little guy doubles as a very effective personal heating blanket!

Spanky gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and has been gentle with his foster family's young grandchildren. While he enjoys canine company, he prefers not to share his favorite person's attention and would truly thrive as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and affection for himself.

Spanky uses a doggy door and is making progress with his house-training, but he will need a patient adopter who can continue helping him learn that potty time belongs outside. He also requires daily eye lubricant to keep his eyes comfortable and prevent crusting.

If you're looking for a devoted little shadow who will love you with his whole heart and happily keep you company day and night, Spanky may be the perfect match.

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.

This calm, easygoing girl who is good on leash and takes other dogs, people, cars, and trucks in stride without getting upset. Her Maddies favorite activities are relaxing on her special pillow, enjoying peaceful naps, and simply being close to her person. Shes a quiet little companion who doesnt ask for muchjust a comfortable spot and someone to love.

Maddie is partially housetrained and generally does well going outside and on walks, although she may occasionally have an accident when excited or anxious. Maddie isnt quite ready for adoption, but she wanted to pop in, introduce herself, and say HELLO!

Donations toward Maddies veterinary expenses would be greatly appreciated and will help this precious senior girl get the care she deserves. If you have questions about Maddie you can email her foster mom at melnkidstrout@gmail.com

I entered this beautiful world on July 8, 2026 and I was the first one to arrive and also the biggest boy. Right now Im doing all those puppy things that puppies do and trying to find my personality. I play Chase and tag with the others and do some rope pulling and I try to steal yak bones from my siblings, pooping and peeing a lot and keeping foster mom very busy washing pads...hahaha.

So right now my days consist of waking up, peeing and pooping, eating my breakfast kibble, playing with my siblings and taking my naps and going to sleep at night. Then we repeat what we just did yesterday.

When I start showing FM my personality, I will absolutely share that with you so for right now just now I am growing beautifully and Im a very handsome boy.

Oh yeah, we just submitted a DNA test for me. So Id like to ask all of you what your guesses would be?? Be back soon!

Initial Bio 08/26/26: Well, I guess the dog is out of the bag! I am Penelope's second baby to arrive.

I am handsome Noah. I was born on July 8, 2026 early in the morning. My mommy Penelope had two boys and three girls.

As you know a six week old puppy does nothing but play, eat, play some more, maybe take a nap maybe not. Then Ill wake up and have to do some serious business which I take care of and then I start this cycle all over again and repeat it several times a day. What I do like to do is when all of my brothers and sisters are in a pile sleeping together I like to just run into it and plop right in the middle.

So I wanted to let everybody know my name and share how Im doing and post a picture of handsome me. So stay tuned as I gain my own personality and foster mom can learn some more about me and write another biography in the future.

THANK YOU TO OZZY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Krysta Owens, David and Diana Lavine, Celeste Bichey, Cindy McKimm, Veronica Gonzales, Dawn Rountree, David and Diana Lavine, Sue, Jim, Debby and Rick in memory of John and Randy Bangs, Karen Perry

Update 10/28/26: Ozzy is back with us after spending the last few weeks with the behaviourist. He worked with him on his fears. Poor Ozzy was so terrified of everything that his first instinct was to bite. The behavorioust has really helped Ozzy overcome those fears.

Ozzy is settling in well. He's done remarkably well with his potty training and leash walking. He loves to play with his toys and gives excellent couch cuddles.

Due to his history, he will not be a good fit for a family with small children. This boy has so much love to give and is just waiting for that special family. If Ozzy sounds like the little guy you've been searching for, please fill out his adoption application.

Update 7/19/26: Ozzy has started to settle in very nicely. He loves his morning walks and his favorite game to play is tug with the soft toys -- although he does not like the squeakers at all! In the evenings he just wants to cuddle in your lap and snooze while you watch tv. He's ready for that perfect furever home. Please fill out his application and give him his best life. He can't wait to meet you!!!!

Initial Bio 6/25/26: Meet beautiful Ozzy! Ozzy is a young yorkie maltese mix looking for his forever family. Ozzy has anxiety and separation issues. He can become easily scared and will nip when he feels threatened. Because of this, he will not be good with children. He's looking for a family that can take him for walks, snuggle with him on the couch and continue to work with him on his social skills.

Ozzy is a beautiful boy with a lot of love to give. If this sounds like the companion you've been looking for, please fill out the adoption application! He's really looking forward to meeting you and being cherished forever.

08/26/26 Initial Biography:

Hey UYR family, friends, and followers. May I introduce myself to you? My name is Pipsqueak. I was the smallest one so I guess I was the runt of the litter.

But that doesnt stop me one bit...my foster mom says I initiate play and it seems I only want to attack Archie. Hes a little bit bigger, so I tend to lose the fights more often than he does.

I like all my other siblings do the same thing that puppies do. Eat, sleep, poop, pee, play, and repeat. I am mischievous though, and I make FM laugh all the time cause I have such silly antics.

Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. I was the second girl to arrive let the smallest that thats not gonna stop me from growing,,,wait and see. Cant wait till we write our next updated bio.

Ruff,

Pipsqueak

Punkin

Punkin TX

Meet Punkin, a 6 week old Terrier Mix puppy born to foster Penelope on July 8. Punkin and her siblings are being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO PUNKIN'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Angie Cagle, David and Diana Lavine, David and Diana Lavine Barbara Burgess

Update 9/12/26: Hi everyone, I am back to share a bit more about myself! I just celebrated my eighth week on September 2, 2026. The very next day, I got my first set of puppy shots, and I was a brave little girl. I weighed 5.3 pounds that day. My wonderful doggy Dogtor told Foster mom that I was a very healthy girl growing beautifully. I have the softest, fluffiest blonde fur, which is a bit different from my brothers and sisters.

As an eight-week-old puppy, my daily mission is to play with my siblings at 4 AM. Then, we all eat, go potty, tinkle, and take a nap until the rest of the gang wakes up at six. I love playing with toysany kind of toysand roughhousing with my brothers and sisters. We all get the zoomies after supper, and FM just gets so tired watching us play so hard. Naturally, after playing so hard, we sleep very soundly and then start another day, doing all the typical puppy stuff again: eat, drink water, play, go potty, pee, and sleep, and take naps, then wake up and do it all over again.

So, did you have any guesses about what I might be? Well, the DNA results came in, and DRUMROLL, PLEASE

American Cocker Spaniel

Yorkshire Terrier

Toy and Miniature Poodle

Miniature Pinscher

Maltese

Pomeranian

Collie

Chi

Thats quite an exotic mix? I bet I sure fooled everyone on what they guessed. My ideal weight should be between 11 and 20 pounds, but I think I am going to be a much daintier little girl and cute as a button when Im a full-grown little lady.

Ill be staying with FM until I am fully vaccinated and microchipped. Im planning to get my second set of shots on October 1st, and my third set on October 29th, along with my rabies shots. After my third set, I will be able to help foster mom find my forever home! I am hoping i can go home around the first couple of weeks in November.

Whoever adopts me will be in charge of spaying me, so I do not end up having puppies like my mama Penelope did.

That is all for now! Feel free to email my FM at Stickhors@gmail.combwith any questions you might have, and I promise shell get back to you as soon as possible. Ill let you know what happens after my next set of shots.

Until then,

Precious Punkin

08/26/26 Initial Biography

Hello, wonderful world! Its Penelope Puppy here, another one of us. I was the first to arrive, and I was named Punkin.

Im the biggest of the three girls and a bit more energetic than they are. Im following the same routine as the boys. You know how it is with puppies: we eat, we play, we need to go, and then we take a nap or sleep through the night. Ive been doing this for weeks.

FM seems to think Im a bit bossy, so maybe thats part of who Ill be. I do play rough with the guys, so Im definitely not a wimp. Give FM a little more time to see what kind of personality I have, and well share more with you soon.

Oh, and I almost forgottheyre doing a DNA test on me. So, what do you think I might be? I dont look like Mommy at all.

Until next time, Punkin

Snorkie
Texas
Snorkie TX

Meet Snorkie, a 6 week old Terrier Mix puppy born to foster Penelope on July 8. Snorkie and her siblings are being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO SNORKIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Angie Cagle, David and Diana Lavine

Update 9/12/26: Howdy folks as Big Tex would say. It is I, Snorkie coming back to fill you in about things since my initial biography. I turned eight weeks old on 09/02/2026. I received my first set a puppy shots the very next day. I did not even whimper. I am such a big girl even though I only weigh 4.4 pounds. So now I am the littlest one out of all five of us. Let me tell you that does not stop me one bit. I may be small, but I am very very mighty.

I love to horse around the most with 7 pound Archie. He must be a true gentleman because he always lets me win our little puppy fights. He is not the only one I like to be the boss of. I kind of like to boss Noah around too. We all know how it is because girls will always rule.

So being your typical eight week old puppy, I do exactly as my siblings do most of the time. My job is to wake up at four every morning and start to play with my brothers and sisters. Then we will all get a little snibble of kibble, drink a little water, maybe go and do a poop, but definitely have a little pee pee, and after all that i will lay down and take a nap.

I love all kinds of toys and especially enjoy stealing them from my siblings. I just have to have my way with everything. I like the rest of Penelopes puppies, rough house, get the zoomies, eat, play, poop, pee, nap and sleep. I love doing this all day long.

I guess you heard that they did DNA test on me and the results are in. Foster mom sure didnt think I had all this exotic cuteness in me. I am, are you ready???

American Cocker Spaniel

Yorkshire Terrier

Miniature and Toy Poodle

Dachshund

Pekingese

Maltese

Pomeranian

Lhasa Apso

Chihuahua

Foster mom calls me Cuteness Overload Although the DNA test says my ideal weight range is 13 to 18 pounds, I dont think that will happen.

I will be staying with FM until I get all of my shots and my microchip. My second set of shot is due on October 1 and my third set should be around October 29 and Ill get my rabies then also. Theyll probably poke a microchip in me too that day. After all of that is done I will be able to help foster mom pick out my forever home.

Whoever becomes my lucky family will be responsible for getting me spayed when I am about six months old because I do not wanna have puppies like my mommy did.

Guess that is all I have to report right now. You can email my FM @ Stickhors@gmail.com with any of your questions and she will get right back to you as quick as possible. I will be checking in after my next set of shots are done and I feel good enough to dictate to FM

Until then,

Cutie Patootie Snorkie

08/26/26 Initial Biography

Guess what? Its me, Snorkie and I am Penelopes 5th and last puppy. I sure do look different than my brothers and sisters and I cant wait to find out what I could be. I heard through the grapevine that Im going to get a DNA test whatever that is. Im so excited cause I sure dont look like mom or any of my brothers or sisters and I am the smallest one now.

Being the smallest certainly doesnt stop me from being The one that likes to get in the middle and start things. For some reason I like to play fight with Archie and hes almost 2 pounds heavier than I am.

I am sweet, mischievous, busy and always on the move unless Im sleeping or napping. I sure do look so very innocent in my picture, but I definitely am not. I do the same things my siblings do. I love to sleep, eat, play, poop and pee we all keep FM busy washing the pee pads every day because with five of us, theres a lot of pee and poop ha ha ha.

Well, I gotta go, its time to play. Cant wait to tell you more about me in the future. So what kind of breed of dog do you think I may be. I sure do not look like my mommy Penelope cause shes got long hair. Mommy was a stray on the side of the road, so who knows what kind of party she was having. So send Foster Mom your guess at stickhors@gmail.com

See ya, Snorkie
