 | Animal ID: 17-167Penny Ann (female) Meet Penny Ann. She came into UYR from a hoarding situation. Penny Ann is 2 years old and weighs 9 lbs. She is being fostered in Ocala, FL. UPDATED BIO 08/15/2017: Hi - Penny Ann here. I wanted to let everyone know how I am doing since I was rescued from my previous home - it wasn't a very happy place to be. I was one of 25 dogs living there and I didn't get much attention or love. I had hundreds of fleas on me which made me itch really bad and I scratched so much that I'm missing some of my hair and my skin needs a little TLC. But I am so happy to be in my foster home. My foster mom has several dog fur-babies that have already become my ... (Read More)friends. I love sleeping in the comfy and sweet-smelling doggie beds. I didn't always have a clean place to sleep in my prior home, and sometimes I had to sleep on the hard floor. I also love sleeping with my foster mom and fur-brothers in the big bed at night. I have a new name now and I really like it. I've never had a name before and it's kinda nice. I am learning to come when my foster mom calls me. I love all the attention my foster mom is giving me, even though it includes lots of baths. I am currently sporting a very pretty diaper since I am not house-trained yet, but she and I are working on that. I never went outside to go do my business before, so it's a work in progress, but I'm a smart little girl and I have my fur-brothers to teach me proper doggie manners. I have also adapted to using this thing called a leash. I have never been walked on a leash before so this is new to me. I think I like it - maybe. I went to the vet yesterday. The vet said I have a few minor health issues because of the really bad conditions in my previous home. But he said all that can be resolved with some antibiotics. I don't know what this means, but I am getting spayed next week. I think it means I won't ever have puppies again and that's just fine and dandy with me. Even though I already love my foster mom, I am looking for my forever home. If you want a smart, cute little girl that loves to sit in your lap, complete an application so we can meet. You are gonna love me and I'm sure I will love you back. (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Florida

 | Animal ID: 17-170Squirt (male) Meet Squirt. He came into UYR from a hoarding situation. Squirt is 5 years old and weighs only 5 lbs. He is being fostered in Seminole, FL. INITIAL BIO 08/12/2017: Squirt came into UYR today from an horrendous hoarding situation. Here's what he had to say when he landed in his foster home. Squirt here. I've had a B-I-G day. See, I arrived in my foster home after a really long trip, and my Foster Mom already had my bath ready for me. She was expecting me and she was so glad to see me - I've never had a human glad to see me before - it felt really nice. I liked the bath and I was a good boy - it felt really good on my skin where I have sores ... (Read More)on am missing some hair. Foster Mom said I am a sweet boy and very calm. I sat on my Foster Dad's lap while my foster brother Danny Boy was having his bath; I'm kinda liking it here since my other home didn't smell so good and I didn't get warm baths and cuddles afterwards. I just wanted to stay on Foster Dad's lap, but Foster Mom said I had to eat so she put me in my crate with my soft nice-smelling bed and a bowl full of food and water. Ahhhhhh, life is finally good.

 | Animal ID: 17-169Danny Boy (male) Meet Danny Boy. He came into UYR from a hoarding situation. Danny Boy is 5 years old and weighs 10 lbs. He is being fostered in Seminole, FL. INITIAL BIO 08/12/2017: Danny Boy here. It's been a B-I-G day for me today. Some nice people scooped me up, along with all the other doggies in our house. Then they loaded us in separate crates, and I landed here with my friend Squirt. When I got to my foster home, my Foster Mom gave me a bath right away - I was pretty stinky and had lots of those pesky fleas on me. My Foster Dad held me for a while - that was really nice - and then he took me out in the back yard. I'm back in my crate now, but this ... (Read More)time I have a nice-smelling and comfy doggie bed in here and I'm eating yummy food. Foster Mom says I have a vet appointment on Monday and then I can join the rest of the family. She said to stay tuned. I will let you know what my new family is like after I get to know them a little bit better. Stay tuned, haha'|'|'|. (Less) United YorkienRescue Florida

 | Animal ID: 17-168Captain (male) Meet Captain. He came into UYR from a hoarding situation. Captain is 2-3 years old and weighs 12.3 lbs. He is being fostered in Tampa, FL. UPDATED BIO 08/15/2017: Ahoy mates! 'Captain' here and I'd like to say 'thank you' to all my angels that helped me leave a terrible hoarding situation and sail into a loving foster home. I was nervous on my voyage, not understanding what was going on and where all my brothers and sisters had gone, but I am settling in quickly, and am enjoying having a comfy, nice-smelling bed to sleep in. I'm especially grateful that I don't have anymore of those pesky fleas all over me that made me itch and scratch so ... (Read More)much. My prior home had 24 other dogs in it and we didn't get a lot of love or attention. My foster mom says I'm one of the handsomest boys she's ever seen with my soft brown/gray/tan curly coat. I saw the dogtor this morning for the first time - ever. I'm a sturdy 12.3 pounds and the dogtor says that I'm most likely between 2-3 years old. I've never had any vaccines before, so I had to get lots of shots this morning. I also had to give blood so the dogtor could make sure I'm a healthy boy. I didn't enjoy the needles, but my foster mommy gave me lots of love afterwards to make me feel better. Lets talk about my new foster family - they are so nice to me! I have three human foster siblings that like to sit with me on the sofa and give me lots of love. My foster mom/dad take me on walks and I really enjoy being outside with them. I'm learning to do my business when I go outside and I promise that I'm a quick learner. I've only been in my foster home for a couple of days, but I will check back with you once I've had more time to settle in. I need to go back to see the dogtor in a couple of weeks for booster shots and then I will be ready for a b-i-g surgery - my neuter. I should be ready to adopt in 4-6 weeks. My ideal furever home would be one where I am not left alone for long periods of time. I'd love a fenced-in yard and maybe a doggie friend or two to play with. I kinda like human kids as long as they are older. (12+) Do you think you could love me? I would love you back for sure! (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Florida

 | Animal ID: 17-161Ruby Rose (female) Ruby Rose is a beautiful 18 month old 12.4 lb yorkie girl who comes into UYR with her 3 puppies. She is being fostered in Saint Augustine, FL. INITIAL BIO 08/12/2017: Meet Ruby Rose. She is a beautiful yorkie princess who gave birth approximately 3 weeks ago to 3 adorable female puppies. Ruby Rose came from a horrendous hoarding situation, along with 25 other yorkies, some of who went into other rescue groups due to the number of dogs rescued at the same time. Ruby Rose and the other yorkies that came into UYR did not receive any vaccinations, dental exams or other routine veterinarian care. Once she has finished nursing her puppies, she ...

 | Animal ID: 17-162Mollie Mae (female) Meet Mollie Mae. She is one of three beautiful daughters of Ruby Rose. Mollie Mae is 3 weeks old and currently weighs 14.8 oz. She will not be ready for adoption until she is 8-10 weeks old. Mollie Mae is being fostered in Saint Augustine, FL UPDATED BIO 08/16/2017: Mollie Mae here. It's been a few days now that I came into UYR with my Mama Ruby Rose and my 2 sister littermates. I am doing great, but I have a way to go before I'm ready for adoption. Yeah, I know I am cute as a button, but there is much more to me than that. If you are interested in adopting me there are a few things you need to know. I will not be willing to go to a home ... (Read More)with children. I know there are a lot of responsible doggy-friendly homes with children out there, but I am not ready for that at such a young and vulnerable age. I will need to have a household where my new forever Mom and/or Dad is home all day with me. I am just a wee little soul and will need a lot of patience and training and this cannot be done without someone home with me all of the time. I will demand that my new parents take me to puppy training classes. I will need this for socialization and to help train Mom and/or Dad so that they can learn how to work with me. A fenced-in yard would be nice, but I also will require that my new forever family take me for walks on a leash. I will need the exercise and I want and need the socialization. Most importantly, I will need a forever family that understands that even though I am cute as a button, I will require a lot of work and a lot of training. I will require a lot of money for vetting and grooming and annual dentals and quality food and care. And I will require a home that understands that I could easily be around for 15-18 years, so having me for your very own will require a long commitment. If you are still interested in my cute self and my hefty requirements, please go to our website and complete and submit an application. I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Meet Charlie the 7 month old female Morkie, and Champ the 9 month old female Toy Poodle, both hypoallergenic dogs. Champ the Poodle was born blind and the breeder figured he could not sell her so he was going to have her put to sleep, but luckily someone got her away from him.

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-08-08-00464BING (male)
'BING NEEDS A DOG WHISPERER WHO SPEAKS DOG-LISH' Bing is now ready to be adopted. He is a special little case. He doesn't like kids or other animals. On a bad day he might not even like you! He is a bit feisty and temperamental but I believe he is just misunderstood. I do not know what happened to him in his previous home but he was obviously mistreated. He is afraid that you are going to hurt him. You can't put a leash or harness or collar on him. He hates it and will let you hear about it pronto! He is desperate for your attention. He allows me to bathe him just fine. He weighs a very tiny 3.7 lbs. He has a tiny bark that sounds like a ... (Read More)parrot, which is kind of totally adorable and the sounds that come out of his tiny mouth sound more like words instead of 'woofs.' He has now been neutered, (hopefully this will calm him down a bit) micro-chipped, vaccinated, and thankfully has had his remaining four teeth removed. He is a bit nervous here in foster care. He likes being carried around and loves his stroller. He will sleep with us as long as he is away from the other dogs. He barks at them aggressively but my own little yorkies have seen so many fosters come and go, they are pretty laid back, so they all laugh at him. Bing would do best with either an older single or married couple who have a lot of patience. He would do well with someone who is home more often than not. He needs to learn how to trust humans again. He does his pee pee on papers and seems pretty good about it. He also likes to sun himself on the screened in lanai but walking him down the street is not something you will probably be able to do because he really hates a harness. Like REALLY! I wish he could talk so he could tell me all that has happened to him. We are not sure how old he is, a good guess would be about 8 or so. I am going to be very picky about where he goes.... (OK I'm picky about where they ALL go) because he has been through so much already and I want him to live the rest of his life in peace and comfort. (Oh and the hat was photo-shopped on... no way would he have ever allowed that on his head either. lol) (Less) http://www.floridayorkierescue.com/index.html Martin County Palm City, FL MAP IT!

If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs please go to our website at www.floridayorkierescue.com and complete the online adoption application. Introducing Tulah - This little female Morkie is a real sweetheart. She weighs in at about 7 lbs. Her age is not known as she was intentionally dumped and we suspect it was because she has a huge mammary gland tumor and a hernia. She could be 5 years, we are just not sure. Update: Tulah's surgery was successful but the tumor was a 'low grade Malignancy.' Our Veterinarian was able to remove the entire tumor but there is always a possibility that she could develop another mamary gland tumor ... (Read More)in the future years to come so her new owner will have to watch out for them and if she gets one, best to remove it when it is still tiny. She is pretty much housebroken and is a little velcro girl. She loves to sleep right up next to you in bed and is well behaved and small dog friendly.

 | Animal ID: 16-040Rocky G (male)
UPDATED BIO 08/08/2017: Hi Everyone, It's me, Rocky. Things are going pretty well. My eyes are still a problem, but if you read my earlier bios, you know that they have always been bad and caused me problems. Even with the medications and the coconut oil, the news isn't so good. I saw the vet last week and he said that both of my eyes will never get any better, and that they both needed to come out. :( I don't see all that well, anyway. What else is new? Not much to tell you the truth. I still love my naps and my food and my foster mom. Those are my favorites. I hate baths, being woken up by some crazy puppy and home intruders who ... (Read More)steal my mom's stuff. Luckily, they didn't take me that day. If you want a reason to adopt an older dog besides the fact that we are chill and cool and already house trained, that might be a good one. Burglars are not as likely to steal us 😊 Anyway, nap time is here, talk to you all later. Oh, my foster mom said that my vet bills have really added up and now there will be another big bill with the enucleation of both of my eyes. If you can spare a little bit of change, please consider donating to my vetting bills. Even a small donation is appreciated - UYR has taken such great care of me, but it's been expensive. Please help out if you can so that UYR can continue to rescue little old fellas like me.......thank you. (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Florida

 | Animal ID: 17-152Benny (male)
Benny is an adorable 4 year old, a little too thin 5-pound yorkie mix. He is being fostered in Zephyrhills, FL. Initial bio 7-27-17 Benny's story starts in Alabama. One day these wonderful people were driving down the road. There in a backyard they spotted this very small, very dirty, hairy dog living in a pen in the backyard with a Pot-bellied pig. There was a bowl of water, but no food. This sad dog was so thin you could see his ribs and bones. He could barely lift his head to look up at them, but he gave them a wag of his tail to let them know he was happy to see a kind face. These wonderful people knew they could not leave him there in ... (Read More)that awful condition. They knocked on the door and somehow, some way, they convinced the people living there to let them take this dog with them. They quickly grabbed him and put him in their car before the people could change their mind. And so Benny was on his way to Florida. Unfortunately these wonderful people were staying in a motel and could only have two dogs there, so they snuck Benny in since they had their own two dogs with them. They knew they could not keep Benny locked in a motel room for very long. They also discovered that Benny was not the best boy on the trip from Alabama to Florida. They travel a lot and he was not a good traveler. These wonderful people asked United Yorkie Rescue to please find this sweet baby a home where he will be treated with love and given the care he so desperately needs. Benny is now settling into his foster home. He is having some stomach issues that we hope are not too concerning. Benny will be taken to the vet very soon. He needs to gain at least a pound or two, so he will be given a healthy diet to fatten him up a bit. Benny is not yet house trained. He never had the need to learn manners because he was outside all the time in a pen with the little pig. It is most likely Benny was eating anything and everything he could find in that pen, which could be part of the reason for his stomach problems. Benny will need all his vaccinations, his neuter, and most likely a dental. It is possible none of that will happen until he is healthy and has some more weight on his tiny bones and his stomach issues are resolved. The vet will be able to tell us more very soon. Please follow Benny's progress on his Looking for Love bio and on our Facebook page. Benny may not be ready for adoption for a while, but he could sure use any donations, prayers, and good wishes you want to send his way as he begins his long road to health.

 | Animal ID: 17-119Ava (female)
Ava has been a very sick little girl. She is about 2 years old and 7.5 pounds. She is a yorkie mix. Ava is being fostered in Orlando, FL. UPDATED BIO 7/13/2017: Ava is feelng better and wanted to update everyone who has been following her progress with an update. Here's what Ava had to say: Well - I had my bloodwork rechecked today and I have good news to share. My red blood count is in the normal range! Yeah for me! Even with the multiple blood draws (boy, did I hate that and I wasn't very nice to her), I am so happy she now knows what is wrong with me. I have a condition known as Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). This ... (Read More)means that my red blood cells are being attacked by my body and they die before they are supposed to. But, with the good medicine the dogtor gave me, I'm feeling so much better. She said I will probably have to take this medicine forever. I don't mind as long as I continue to feel good. My foster mom says she's happy that I'm doing so well. I make her laugh when I play with my toys and especially when I run around the house playing chase with her. I love to go for car rides and walks. I can't walk in the heat for too long, because I tire so easily due to my anemia. Sometimes, my foster mom has to carry me home because I'm too tired. Thank goodness I only weigh 7.5 pounds. My ideal furever home is one with one adult, preferably someone who will be home all day long with me. No children, cats or other dogs, please. I need to be an only dog. I am a very sweet, loving little girl, but I want my new mom or dad to be my one and only. And I want to be their one and only furbaby to love. Updated bio 6-27-17 Little Ava was rescued from the shelter on June 19th. She was severely anemic due to a horrible flea infestation. She was extremely underweight and sick. Ave was taken immediately from the shelter to the vet, where the vet, the tech, and her foster mom spent over an hour picking fleas off her. Most of them were already dead from medication given to her at Animal Services. The vet gave her a B12 injection, and treated both her eye and ear infections with drops and antibiotics. Ava was also discovered to have a grade 3/5 heart murmur. At this time the vet seems to feel it will not affect her life at all, but it needs to be monitored. So much for such a young pup. That evening Ava refused to eat. The next day her blood counts were checked again. They were still low, and although she had eaten a little, she was just not showing signs of getting better. Wednesday morning, Ava seemed to be a little perkier and ate a little more. However, when she returned to the vet Thursday to recheck her blood counts they were still very low in spite of her seemingly to be a little better. The vet determined it was time for a blood transfusion. She was taken to the Emergency Pet Hospital for the transfusion right away. The fear was if her white and red blood counts did not begin to show more normal levels she would start to really fail. After the transfusion she did seem a little better, but it didn't last. Friday she returned to the vet for more blood work. Her counts were better, but still not in the normal range. Ava wouldn't eat and her abdomen was very distended. An x-ray showed she had fluid in her abdomen. The vet was not sure it if was fluid was blood or something less critical. The vet aspirated the fluid. Thankfully, one thing went right for Ava and it wasn't blood. She was given another B12 injection, liquid minerals, and prednisone. Ava seems to have rallied some over the weekend, but every time she would go outside, she would immediately start panting. Would sad, sick, little Ava ever feel better? Ava had blood work again on Tuesday and her red blood count has come up slightly, so that is good news. They are not at normal levels yet, but hopefully with the meds they will continue to rise. Her white blood count and platelets are still too high, which means they are fighting an infection still, but they have come down a little too. It is hoped that Ava is on the road to recovery, but it will be a while longer before she is well. The vet added another drug to help with her recovery. Everyone is doing everything possible to get Ava well again. Ava takes six medications daily; three of them are taken twice a day. Still Ave remains weak and sleeps a lot. In spite of all she has gone thought Ava is such a wonderful little pup. She has put up with all the needles and the poking and prodding and still loves everyone. She remains loving and sweet. Ava needed to be saved and UYR did not hesitate to do that. We have spent close to $1,500 on Ava's care in the short time she has been with us. We are not sure how much more it will cost for Ava to be well again, but we will do whatever we have to, because Ava deserves this. We are reaching out to our wonderful, caring, Rescue Angels to please help us continue help Ava. Whatever you can spare, a dime, a dollar, or more, because (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Florida

Hi my name is Lucas, I am a sweet girl who loves to play. I am a bit high energy but after a bit o play time I calm down a lot and become a couch potato. I love to play and give cuddles. I would do best in a home with older kids since I am a bit hyper I may be too much or younger kids. I am ok with other dogs but would do best with a home with no dogs or just one dog. I love to be the center of attention and want all the love or me. I also like to eat by myself to not feel like I have to protect my food. God Made Dog Miami-Dade County Miami, FL MAP IT!

Grace is a 2 year old Chorkie (Chihuahua/Yorkie Mix). Sweet Grace weighs only 6.5 pounds. She and her sister Angel are being fostered in Dunedin, FL. They must be adopted together. UPDATED BIO 07/31/2017: Angel and Grace here. We don't understand why we haven't been snatched up yet by an adopter, even though foster mom says we are two of the coolest dogs she has ever fostered! Foster mom says our pictures just don't do us any justice, and we'd have to ... (Read More)agree. We can't help it we're camera shy - okay, maybe a little bit chicken - whenever we see a camera pointed our way, but it's just that we've never seen one before. Foster mom says you might wonder why we keep being called 'we'. Here's why. My sister and I are almost identical twins. We do everything together and often sleep piled onto each other (don't all sisters do that?). We love, love, love our human and we like to follow her around everywhere. Foster mom says we would bond very rapidly with anyone who adopts us. Note from Foster Mom: If you have a quiet home and are looking to adopt two dogs (these two are bonded and need to be adopted together) who will love and adore you, then fill out an application and we'll see if you're a good match. You will need to have to have a lot of time to spend with them, because they love to be able to sit on your lap, and if not on your lap, sitting close enough to always be touching you. UPDATED BIO 06/30/2017: What could possibly be cuter than a yorkie mix with an adorable personality? Here's what - TWO yorkie mixes with adorable personalities! Angel and Grace are a bonded pair and thought to be siblings. They are both about 2 years old and both as sweet as candy, and both appear to have the same precious personalities. After a visit to the dogtor, they are now current on their vaccinations and appear to be in excellent health. They also had a spa day and couldn't be any cuter. They will both be getting spay and dentals soon and then they will be ready for their forever home. Because these two are a bonded pair, they will need to be adopted together. What we know so far about Angel and Grace is that they ride in the car very well while in a crate. They both love to snuggle and be with their human all day, and will bond almost as soon as they are in your arms. They love sleeping in bed with their human, and will need to be allowed to do so. These sweet girls will quickly take over their owner's lap and affection, as well as the couch. These needy little princesses will likely push any other animals out of the picture in no time. Because of this, Foster Mom strongly feels that Angel & Grace need to be the only dogs in the home. PLEASE NOTE: Because of their small size they will need to be adopted with a family with children over 12 years old. (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Florida

Billy is a sweet 2-year-old yorkie mix. He weighs 12 pounds. Billy's had a rough start in life, but things are already getting better for him. Billy is being fostered in Leesburg, FL. Updated bio 7-12-17 Billy wants to tell you all about what a great dog he his. Hello, my name is Billy and I am looking for my forever and ever family. I am the perfect dog for a family, even one with some well-behaved kids who are maybe around 9 years old and older who would like to play with a great pup like me. I would love another young dog to play with me, but I have to tell you that I do not share toys very well, and I steal them from the other ... (Read More)dogs in my foster home. I really want them all. My foster mom and dad tell me I am a toy hoarder. It's just that I love toys, toys, toys. Also I sure do love to run around in the fenced backyard, so I really have to have a home with a fenced yard for me because I like to run and there are so many wonderful things out there to chase. In the backyard there is so much to see and smell. I really, truly need a home with a nice fenced yard, big enough for me to run around in because I do love to run and I have the legs to prove it. I like to chase everything that moves and once I almost caught a lizard, but my foster dad stopped me. I am an active dog and would love an active family. I love everyone and I get along great with other dogs. I'm almost perfect if I must say so myself, except I am not a good sharer, which is true. Sometimes I also like to steal things from the trash so just remember to put a lid on it. But hey, I am a young dog, and after all that's what we doggies do. I am the best boy you could ever want. Here are all the great things about me: I am a great eater, I sleep all night, but in my foster parents' bed, I ride nicely in the car, and I do okay on a leash. My foster parents said I am mostly house trained but not quite totally, so I do need to be taken out often. I am learning that I have to do all my business all the time outside and I am almost there. I love everyone and there's no one I don't get along with whether you have two feet or four, I think I even like the cats that lives in my foster home, except I am not sure they like me. I also wouldn't like to be left home alone for a long time. I know I would be very lonely. I am a young fellow. The vet says I might be around 2 years old, but my foster parents think I might be younger. I have had all my vaccinations, and I got that operation, you know the one that means I can't ever make puppies. The people at the vet were so nice to me. They said I am so cute, and I sure am. They also said I have this very slight heart murmur. A grade one they called it. They said it would not affect me in any way and I will live a long and healthy life. It sure hasn't slowed me down one bit. If you would like an almost perfect pup, one who loves everyone and will give you lots and lots of kisses, I am your guy. If you want a fellow who likes to run and play you should pick me to be yours. My foster mom and dad said I am about the best pup they have ever known and anyone who adopts me will be the luckiest people ever. So get lucky and put in an adoption application for me. You won't be sorry. NOTE: Please remember that Billy is a young fellow and would need a family who can give him at least a 15-17 year commitment. UPDATED BIO 06/26/2017: Billy is an oh-so-sweet 2 year old cutie. It has been discovered that Billy does have a very low-grade heart murmur. It is only a Grade1 and it will not affect his life at all. He is not restricted or limited in any way as far as activity or anything. There is no medication necessary and he will live a long, full life. On a not-so-good note, this poor sweet boy contacted kennel cough while in the shelter. He was in his foster home 4 days and then the cough came along with some sneezing and gunky eyes. Kennel cough is frequently contracted when dogs are in a shelter situation. Dogs almost never die from it, but they don't feel well. Billy is currently on medication and cough syrup, but even without the meds, kennel cough will generally run its course in 3 weeks. Kennel cough is highly contagious to other dogs. Therefore, Billy will not be able to be adopted until it is completely cleared up. Applications will be taken, but an adoption won't happen for at least 3 weeks. It is hard to know Billy's real personality because he just doesn't feel well. It will be fun to know the real Billy once he feels better and Billy become who Billy really is. Initial Bio 6-21-17 Meet Billy. This 2-year-old, oh so sweet boy has had a rough few months. He was found on the streets looking pretty thin and rough. He was taken to the shelter and cleaned up. After being held for 5 days on his stray hold waiting and hoping for his family to come find him he was put up for adoption. He actually had an adopter who was ready to take him home. They decided they didn't want him because the shelter vet hea (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Leesburg, FL MAP IT!

Meet Lena! She is a beautiful 11 year old, 12.5 lb yorkshire terrier. She is being fostered in the Villages, FL. UPDATED BIO 07/14/2017: Lena has had an interesting few weeks. Read what this sweet little lady had to say about what's been going on: Lena wants you to know: 'What a day I've had. So, here's my update. I was all set to go visit a family who wanted to adopt me when, all of a sudden, I started a little cough and Foster Mom wanted me to get checked out so she took me to the dogtor. Well, the dogtor took pictures of my insides and said my heart was a little big. Well, I'm a little big, too, so what's so bad about that? ... (Read More) Then she said there was a little fluid around my heart. No biggie. The dogtor sent me home with some medicine to get rid of that fluid (I can do that in one trip outside), so my heart will be okay. The medicine is Lasix and the cost is only about $25 per month. Trust me. I'm soooo worth it. But then - the people who were gonna adopt me changed their mind. What What? They are just missing out on my super-dooper dose of 'awesome-ness'. The dogtor told Foster Mom that she's not worried that I could still be around for many, many more years (which is what I intend to do). So here I am again - looking for my forever home. I don't feel sick and I don't act sick. I can still run and chase after my housemates and boy do I love to eat, too. Maybe there's somebody out there who knows what it's like to be rejected and would be willing to give me a chance. I promise I'll bring you lots and lots of love (I love hugs) and some laughs, too. Oh, and don't forget that awesome-ness, too.' UPDATED IO 05/09/2017: Hi Everyone - Lena here - well, my real name is Apollina, but mostly everyone calls me Lena, or Leeney and sometimes even Beaney and Deaney - I'll answer to any of them. I was still a little confused when I arrived in my foster home, but my Foster Mom explained the situation to me and why I'm having this wonderful adventure. I know that my mom loved me so much that it made both of us sad because she had to be away from me for such long periods. She said that I deserved a family who could be home with me a lot and make me their princess. I guess I'm okay with that. Especially the princess thing. I really, really love to run and jump - don't think I can't do those things because of my age now - that's just not right! Foster Mom says I'm a very happy little girl. I'm here with three other doggie housemates and we're all having a great time. Annie and I are almost the same size. Mattie is a little smaller than us, and then there's Bubba, who weighs a whopping 5 pounds soaking wet. Oh! And there's this bird in a cage that keeps calling the other girls by name (Annie...Mattie). What a hoot! I hope he learns my name so that I can hear him call me before I leave to go to my forever home. My Foster Dad takes Annie and me for nice walks and he says we're very well-behaved together. I'm not saying anything just yet, cuz you know I just got here, but I will whisper this to you%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD'%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD%BD|I think Mattie is a problem child. There - I said it! I'm a good eater and a good sleeper and I don't cause any problems. I'm house-trained and leash-trained, too. Foster Mom explained that I won't be staying here forever, so I'm really anxious to see my new home and my new family. I promise I'll be good and give you lots and lots of love. My perfect family would be one that maybe had at least one stay-at-home person that would give me lots of attention. Not that I need it, but it sure is nice when I get it. I'll check back with everyone in a few days. See ya'! (Less) United Yorkie Rescue Sumter County Florida

 | Animal ID: 16-169Nemo FL (male)
Nemo is an adorable 6 year old, 9.5 lb male yorkie who is being fostered in West Palm Beach. Updated Bio 7/6/17: Meet Nemo! Nemo was initially brought in as a stray, and sprung from a local high kill shelter in very poor condition. Not only was he underweight, had kennel cough, a urinary tract infection, and an upper reparatory infection, he also had a neglected overabundance of yeast. This yeast condition made him itchy, caused a loss of much of his fur, and caused his skin to become thick and black. Fast-forward almost 10 months, and those sick and dark days at the shelter are merely a memory. Nemo has plumped up to a healthy weight ... (Read More)of 10 pounds, and much of his fur has returned, although he still has some areas that are a bit sparse. He is on a very inexpensive anti-yeast pill to help his fur regrowth. He also takes an anti itching medication called Apoquel. After having Nemo for a short time, his foster parents realized there was something else going on with him. After several tests the vet determined he has something called Diabetes Insipidus (DI), which is also known as water diabetes, This is something different that the more common sugar diabetes. Basically, he has a faulty pituitary gland, which does not tell him when he's had enough water to drink, so he constantly drinks water, which results in frequent urination. He is on a daily medication for this, called Desmopressin. The medication helps regulate his pituitary gland, so he is not constantly thirsty, however he still needs to be let out every 3 or 4 hours and he may still have a few accidents. This medication is very helpful and absolutely necessary for Nemo to have. The cost is about $103 for almost 2 months of meds or about $50 a month. That may seem expensive, but Nemo is so worth it. In spite of everything Nemo has gone through, he is both a fun and playful dog, yet very laid back at the same time. He loves his morning walks, and then he can snooze the rest of the day. He also loves his squeaky toys. Unlike many Yorkies, Nemo does not bark very much at all, although when he gets excited he breaks into a little howl, which is super cute. He lives with two other Yorkies and some cats. For the most part he gets along with them, but he does have some resource guarding and has to be watched around bones and food. He is fed separately, otherwise he would inhale the food of the other pets, therefore food is never left out or on the floor after they pups are given their meal. Nemo would do best with non-aggressive dogs about his size or smaller. They should be easy going and not high energy. He would probably prefer no cats, or older, very secure cats that won't run from him. Nemo does have leash aggression. When he meets another dog on his walks, he turns into a little Napoleon. His foster parents have used a technique called 'watch me' to help modify it, although it is an ongoing project. Nemo, like many little pups like to chase cats, birds, ducks, and lizards. But he is easily distracted away from doing that by either walking on or showing him a little treat. His absolute favorite animal however, is the squirrel, and he proves that he is a terrier anytime he sees one. Because of this Nemo must not be walked on a flexi leash, but rather a regular 6-foot leash, and can never be walked off leash. Nemo has been adopted out twice and returned through no fault of his own. Both his adopters were very upset when they returned him. The first time having 2 dogs proved to be too much for his adopter, the second time Nemo seemed to become very sad and no longer was interested in walking, playing, or interacting, but when he was returned to his foster home, he perked right back up. He needs a home with someone who has had recent or current dog experience and some basic dog training as well, and someone who is home part of the day to let him out. Nemo needs a home with a fenced in yard and no doggie door. Nemo was not depressed the first time he was adopted out, so we are not sure what happened the second time. Nemo needs someone who understands that he might initially get sad when they get him, and if he does to give him the time he needs to overcome his sadness and realize that he is in a safe place. It does take Nemo time to adjust. When he first came to his foster home he laid on the couch, curled up for over 3 weeks. He was sick, but we think this little boy has really been through a lot and going to another home might affect him more than other dogs, however once he knows he is safe he will adjust and become his happy, funny, playful self. If you think you have the right home to give this very sweet and very deserving pup, please submit an application for him.

His forever home didn't work out. Nero's new bio coming soon. Updated bio 5/25/17: Say hello again to Ne (Less) United Yorkie Rescue West Palm Beach, FL 33405 MAP IT!
