 | Rescue Me ID: 15-02-24-00064Jasper (male)
Jasper the Jester: This little guy can be classified as a Big Little Dog. At 21 pounds, his Yorkshire Terrier hair is the first thing you see. In shades of grey, silky curly fur (non-shedding!) make you smile the minute he comes in the room. His story is one of a wandering spirit. He was dropped off at the SPCA in Phoenix as the unsold leftover from a litter of puppies in Feb 2014. His forever family relocated to Tampa in Dec 2014 but due to financial difficulties, had to surrender him. He is about 15 months old, but knows a few basic commands: Sit, Down, Off, Come. We are hoping to find a foster family for him, and yes, a new ... (Read More)forever family. At his current rescue family's home, he plays well with two groups of foster siblings: the small dogs and the larger dogs. He plays gently with the smaller ones (Yorkie mix, Pekinese mix, Chi/Pom mix), and then when they get tired, he happily chases the larger ones (Beagle/Cocker mix, Whippet/Lab mix, and Spaniel/Treehound mix). He's very observant and likes to be near his people to watch over his pack and family. He'll curl up at your feet while you watch TV at night and is crate and potty trained. He just wants to play and be loved. He is not dog ,toy, nor food reactive, but will hog the toys if the other dogs let him. Can you open your heart to Jasper the Jester?

Roscoe's a tad oversized for the average yorkie. He's 11.5 pounds of fun and games. Seems to have been a house pet once upon a lifetime. He's good with some dogs, not so much with others. Not much is known about him since he was an unclaimed stray but he did have a bit of an issue with potential dry eye- which is not not an issue- and he had a few hot spots requiring shaving off some of his long black coat. He's heartworm negative and neutered and vaccinated of course. His adoption fee is $225 SPAY-LEE Inc P.O.Box 6577 Lee County Fort Myers, FL 33911 MAP IT!

 | Animal ID: #15-010Winnie (FL) (female)
UPDATE 2/19/15: Winnie is a five-year-old 9 pound little girl who was rescued from a South Florida shelter, she is being fostered in Delray Beach, FL. Winnie is a healthy young house-trained friendly little girl whose only problem was the fact that she had a cataract in her left eye which caused her to be mostly blind. Her right eye was undersized and non-functional. Recently, Winnie, with the help of our very generous donors, was able to have her cataract removed and replaced with a brand-new lens. Her right eye was removed. Her eyesight is slowly improving because of residual swelling and some intraoperative bleeding that occurred. The ... (Read More)doctor believes that in the next two weeks her vision will drastically improve. For now, Winnie is wearing the cone of shame proudly and continues to be a lovable huggable snuggable little girl who gets along with other dogs and loves everyone she meets. Winnie wanted to thank everybody for this amazing opportunity.... for a young dog to be able to have a full and happy life. UPDATE 2/2/15: My name is Winnie. I am a 5-7 year old little girl who weighs 8.5 lbs and am being fostered in Delray Beach, FL. I just wanted to say thank you to all the PAWsome people and pups out there who sent me some funds so that I could have my vision restored. I am SUPER excited to have my cataract surgery Thursday February 12th. YIPPEEEEEEEE. I am such a good girl. Foster Mom says once my eye is better, I have to stick around so I can see the doggy eye doctor for a couple of months. Then she says I will be scooped up because I am so good! I am housetrained, friendly, and am learning to play with toys. I hardly ever bark. I love my new life UYR helped me find. I know it's only going to get better. Licks and wags to all of you!!!! P.S. My Foster Mommy gave me a haircut. Everyone says they think I look pretty darn cute! I was pretty matted. xoxo - Winnie (Less) UNITED YORKIE RESCUE Palm Beach County Florida

Updated 2/17/15: Mikey is an adorable 10.2 pound little yorkie guy. He is about 7 years old and is being fostered in Leesburg, FL. Mikey is just about over his kennel cough. He will still need to be on some additional medication for the next 10 days since his trachea is still showing some signs of irritation from the cough. He is now up to date on all his vaccinations. He is heart worm negative and has been started on his heartworm and flea preventative. He will be getting his dental in two weeks after the cough is cleared up. Mikey has come such a long way. He is not yet fully house trained, but he is getting there. His foster mom puts a ... (Read More)belly band on him sometimes in the house, but his accidents with no belly band are becoming less and less. Mikey has learned he is not the boss and he does not get to be in charge. He now no longer jumps up to get food when his foster mom and dad are at the table. He has learned to sit and not grab, but to take things gentle from a person's hand. He understand what NO means and will respond. His tendency to be aggressive has been reduced to almost nothing. His foster parents still have work to do with him, but Mikey is very smart and a quick learner. Mikey loves to be with people and when he can't see them he gets upset. He hates to be crated. Mikey needs someone home much of the time, who will be with him, and not leave him alone in the crate for hours at a time. He really would do best as an only dog. He loves to go on walks and is great on a leash, so he does not need a fenced yard, but someone ready and able to take him on good long walks a few times a day. He is great in the car and really wants to sleep on the bed with his people. Mikey needs a strong leader or he will attempt to take over and be your leader. If you would like to be Mikey's leader and make this sweet, loving, and totally amazing fellow your friend and partner, please fill out an application for him. He'll be your best friend forever.

 | Animal ID: #15-012Abbie (FL) (female)
Abbie is an 11 year old, 11 pound blind Yorkie female who is being fostered in West Palm Beach FL. Abbie is a blind senior Yorkie, that came from a very neglectful situation. She was one of 30 dogs living in a home with an animal hoarder. She and her pals were all impounded by the county animal shelter, and she was lucky enough to be rescued by UYR, otherwise she would have been euthanized for sure. She came in very matted and in very poor condition. However, after a bath, haircut, multiple visits to the vet, she now has fresh breath and looks much better. She is overweight, and should lose at least 2 or 3 lbs to be at a healthier ... (Read More)weight, so is now on a strict diet. She is also completely blind. Due to the long term neglect and inflammation in her eyes which was never treated, she has a condition called Phthisis bulbi, which is a shrunken eye. Her left eye is almost complete shrunken, and her right eye is slowly shrinking. She also has fluid behind her eyes, which causes them to have a blueish look to them. There is nothing to be done about this condition. The condition is not painful, but one does have to make sure she does not get a corneal ulcer in her eye. Luckily, the pressure in her eye is normal, as is her tear production. We are not really sure how old Abbie is, due to the long term neglect, she probably acts older than she is. She gets around slowly, and does bump into objects on her way, but it doesn't see to bother her. She is still affectionate, and knows where the kitchen is, and has been able to climb the doggie stairs up the couch and sleeps on the back of the pillows. She has been pretty quiet, but she does want to be in the same room near her person, and if I am upstairs, and she is downstairs, she will start barking. She does not sleep on the bed, but would very much like to, like any dog, she jumps on the bed to get on it. She does settle down after a bit and sleep in her own bed. Abbie gets along great with the other dogs and cats, but she is not a pushover. She probably had to protect herself living with 29 other dogs, so if a dog starts snapping in her face, she will protect herself, but with no teeth left, there is not much she can do. Abbie does appear to be house trained. She does currently need to be picked up and put on the grass, but once she is there, she does her business, however, like any dog, if she is not let out often enough, she will have an accident. Abbie is just looking for a place to lay her head and retire in. She is low maintenance and would make a great companion for a senior. She can go with other dogs and cats, but if there are larger dogs, they need to be respectful. She deserves to have love and be treated kindly and with care her last years and she has a very reasonable adoption fee. Could this home be yours?

Since coming into UYR, Maggie had all 7 of her remaining teeth extracted due to lack of proper dental care. Now her little tongue peeps out ~ so cute!

Maggie has a gorgeous long, thick coat with the typical blue/gold colors associated with well-bred yorkies. She will use the wee-wee pad (most of the time) ~ yeah! She also enjoys going outside but makes sure she doesn't leave Louie behind. Like her father, she loves attention, but mostly wants to snuggle next to you instead of being held; that could certainly change as their lives have been turned upside down recently and they have adapted very quickly to their foster home and foster parents. Both Maggie and Louie love following their person from room-to-room; when FM gives Maggie attention, Louie will run up and put his face right next to her's so that he can receive attention, also. They are both very sweet and loving little doggies and love one another a lot. PLEASE NOTE: Due to their small sizes, Louie & Maggie cannot go into a home with children under the age of 14 years old.

 | Animal ID: #15-001Toby (FL) (male)
UPDATE 02/23/2015: TOBY is a male Yorkie puppy who is now 5 1/2 months old and currently weighs a slender 5.8 pounds. He is being fostered in Clearwater, FL. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Toby is going to make an appearance at the 'Get Rescued in Gulfport' event on Saturday, Feb. 28th in Gulfport, FL. If you want to say 'Hi' to this darling boy, he will be at the UYR tent for the first 2 hours (before lunch). Toby is our pup that was born with deformed rear legs. He had his second surgery on his right rear leg last week. The surgeon put in a second plate that overlaps and extends past the first plate fusing his knee in the correct position. This ... (Read More)second plate will help stabilize his leg where it fractured after his first procedure due to his tiny and fragile bones and the screws needed to help give him a chance to walk in the future. Toby is feeling SO good now! He cannot wait for the doctor to give him permission to try out this 'walking' thing he sees all the other pups doing. Until then, Toby is confined to his foster mom and dad's laps while they attempt to find toys to entertain him and keep him still. If you've ever met a puppy, you know that's a tricky task, but also so rewarding, fun, and full of kisses. Don't you want to foster too? Not all foster pups are as needy as Toby. Most of our dogs only need a warm bed and loving hand while they wait for their forever homes. Thinking it over but have questions? Ask. It never hurts to give it a try. 02/09/2015 UPDATE: TOBY is a male Yorkie puppy at 4 months old and currently weighs a slender 5.8 pounds. He is being fostered in Clearwater, FL. Poor Toby found the first bump in his road to recovery today. The vet removed his bandaged splint to assess his movement and found that his leg has broken below the plate and lowest screw. They used the smallest possible hardware for his knee fusion, but Toby's bones are so small and fragile and started from such an extremely distorted position that his tiny bone fractured. The surgeon may have to perform a second surgery to elongate the fused section with a second plate to stabilize his fractured leg. We will not know the official plan until next week as they continue to watch him closely and formulate the best course of action. We knew from the beginning that Toby's case was very complicated and may require multiple procedures, let's just hope this is his only setback and his repair is still possible. Please be patient as we wait for more information. We will update you with his progress as soon as we know more. We could not be more thankful to all of you for the incredibly generous support in donations and well wishes. We (Toby & UYR) could not do this without you. ======================================= Toby was born without the proper use of his hind legs. He has been mostly dragging his back legs his whole life, though he does try very hard to make them work. We have an appointment next week with our surgical specialist to see what we can do to help little Toby (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Pinellas County Florida

Please check back soon for an update on this sweet boy. 11/18/14: Frankie Lane is a 10 year old yorkie. He is 10 pounds, and a real 10 in all ways. He is being fostered in Seminole, FL. This little boy is a real dear. He is sweet and loving - loves to look into your eyes and then cuddle up. He loves to play with his toys and prefers the squeaky toys but will play with anything. He loves to run and often does laps in the back yard. If you run he will run ... (Read More)with you. He sleeps in his crate most of the time but when he gets up he will pull his blanket out of his crate. Sometimes he even pulls his blanket onto the bed or couch to sleep with it. Frankie will take to your children, and he is a good boy around them. However he likes to bark when he sees kids outside. You need to be very careful when you open a door because he will bolt. His foster parents have found he doesn't like bikes at all. Frankie will go to the door to tell you he has to go out. He had a urinary tract infection and because of that he had been pottying in the house, but since he has completed his pills he only marks if you bring something new into the house. To make sure this doesn't happen his foster mom puts a belly band on him and that solves that problem. He does have a sensitive tummy and need a Pepcid tablet or he will throw up. In spite of these few issues, he is really a sweet boy and such a loving, happy fellow. All his foster parents can say about him is this, 'For a good time call Frankie, he is so much fun!!' Frankie has been waiting patiently for his forever home. Please consider this wonderful little fellow to be your own loving little guy. (Less) UNITED YORKIE RESCUE Seminole County Florida

 | Animal ID: #13-125Sailor (FL) (male)
12-06-14: Sailor is approximately 9 years old and is an adorable but very timid 5 pound little Yorkie. He is being fostered in Palm Coast, FL. Although he gets along with other pups in the household, Sailor has become the Alpha dog and lets the other dogs know he is in charge. Sailor has a very sensitive stomach and cannot have beef or chicken. He does well on Blue Buffalo Fish and Brown rice for Small Breeds kibble. Due to his obvious lack of care in the past he had to have most of his teeth removed, and now his little tongue hangs out one side of his mouth, which just makes him even cuter. Sailor has suffered several seizures since ... (Read More)being in foster care. There is no apparent 'trigger' for these seizures and the vet feels no medication is needed unless they begin to get closer together. Sailor does not take to men as well as he does women. He tolerates men, but prefers a woman to be his primary caregiver. His forever home would absolutely require a female in the home! If he has a chance to run out the door, he will, and he's very fast with those long legs. Boy can he run ~ he may have been a Greyhound in his previous life! He continues to be a work in progress as far as housebreaking and because he likes to mark indoors he will have to wear a bellyband for the rest of his life. Since he has no teeth, he is a slow eater so his Foster Mom feeds him away from his fur brother and sisters so they can't take his food from him. He looks forward to mealtime and does love to eat! Sailor is very fearful of loud noises and will run to another room in fear from another dog barking or other loud noises. This includes thunder. Even with a Thundershirt on Sailor shakes all over during a thunderstorm and wants to be held tightly until the thunder subside. Below are some requirements for what would be the perfect home environment for Sailor: - A home with either a single woman or a couple - Sailor definitely prefers women more than men. Sailor must have a *full-time stay at home mommy because he suffers from severe separation anxiety when left alone. - A home that understands that Sailor is a very, very sweet little boy, but also very timid, so a calm quiet home would be perfect. He is fearful of loud noises and thunder and lightning (he wears a Thundershirt during thunder storms to help with his fear) and wants to be held tightly during a storm. He is also very fearful of fireworks and loud barking from other dogs. NO CHILDREN PLEASE! - A home where Sailor could just cuddle up next to you all day long; he also likes to sleep right next to his human at night, so move over and make room in your bed for Sailor! - A home where there is stay at home mommy that can stay at home with him all day long and just give him belly rubs and snuggles. - A home where Sailor will have a female playmate around his age and size, as he has begun to show dominance to other males in the house. - A home with a big fenced-in yard since he loves, loves, loves to run and has discovered his love of chasing after squirrels and lizards. Sailor has been waiting a long time for his forever home. Could you be his perfect family? (Less) UNITED YORKIE RESCUE Flagler County Florida

 | Animal ID: #14-087Dolly (FL) (female)
Dolly is an absolutely adorable 11 year old 13lb Yorkie mix that is being fostered in the Orlando, FL. Dolly is doing very well in her foster home. She almost never makes mistakes in the house anymore and never #2. She loves to go for walks and car rides. She gets so excited when FM picks up her leash that she hops around like a puppy! She keeps up with her 6 year old foster sister easily. She has lost 5 lbs since she arrived and is feeling much more spry and happy. She does get a glucosamine supplement daily to help with the arthritis in her hips, which is surely helping her stay active and happy. The perfect home for Dolly would be ... (Read More)one where someone is home a lot so she could be let outside frequently and maybe a backyard so she can explore. She really doesn't require any play time, but she does love to snuggle on a lap on the couch and cuddle in bed. She will sleep in her bed at night, as well. She would not do well in a home with kids under 12 as she is slightly sight-challenged and kids move a little too fast for her. In spite of her age, Dolly has a lot of life and love left in her. Please consider this sweet older gal as your new family member. (Less) UNITED YORKIE RESCUE Orange County Florida

Yorkies can be dog aggressive and wary of strangers. Yorkshire Terriers are loving and devoted to their people and do fine with children who respect them. Yorkies respond well to firm, consistent obedience training but may require patience when housebreaking. They do fine in an apartment but need to play and be taken on a daily walk.
