She's adopted. We found the most perfect home for Gizmo. She was never really ours, just left with us at our pet sitting service. She was accustomed to a senior mom, a quiet home, with no children, and that's exactly what we found for her new home. Thank you, Rescue Me!

I am thrilled that through Rescue Me, I was able to find a home for three bonded senior Yorkies after their owner passed away. Thank you for all that you do to help find these animals homes and for making a huge difference in the number of dogs put down in our local shelters.

Rehoming a beloved family member took everything I could muster. At times, I also thought am I being so particular in my standards that I'll never be able to let my baby get that better place that I could no longer provide. Harley went to the first of the many phone calls and emails that I received in less than 24 hours and these folks were a perfect fit. Thanks, Rescue Me!

Through Rescue Me, I was able to find the perfect home for Pongo. Within two days of posting him, I had six responses to my post, and two were with people I thought would be a good fit for Pongo's personality. I ultimately chose someone who has many years of Yorkie experience. We were able to meet and discuss Pongo, and he took to her pretty quickly. I have every confidence that his new mom will give him the love and patience he needs to be the best dog possible. I think this is a win-win-win for my family, Pongo, and his new mom. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you!

Within one day, we had calls from wonderful people wanting to adopt her. We couldn't be more pleased with the results of Rescue Me! Thank you Mr. Gold, for founding this site to help bring together pets with families. -Melissa D.

We are so thankful for Yorkie Rescue Me and the connections it allowed us to make and place our sweet Albi in a loving home! When we rescued Albi we never dreamed that we would so quickly be looking for a new home for our sweet boy. It was a perfect match! Yes, we wanted a safe, loving home and we received wonderful guidance from Yorkie Rescue. Albi and his new family are happy and we couldn't be more pleased. Thank you again, for your help along the way!

Thank you Rescue Me for helping me place the dogs in need. Lexie was URGENT. We posted her on Rescue Me. She found her the perfect, forever home. Out of 75 people, this women stood out to me the most. I was right! She is an angel and will always love and adore her. She has a male Yorkie that was depressed when a sibling passed away. They met up with no problems. They both could not wait to take her home and love on her forever. I am very picky were dogs go. This was a PERFECT forever home for LEXIE. Yay! Thank you,Rescue Me!

I have been looking for a good home for my foster 'child' Abby for sometime. I was very fussy about the environment she would be going to. One day, I received a wonderful email from a woman who was looking for a pet for her mom and dad. We email often, she answered all my questions, and helped me work through my concerns until I felt they would be a good fit for my girl. The new owners drove 18 hours round trip to come and get Abigail. I will miss Abby dearly, but I know in my heart and soul that her new owners will take very good care of her. She will be loved, pampered, and cherished, just like she should be! Thank you, Rescue Me!

Benny came to me when I needed him the most. My dog had just died tragically and Benny helped me through it. I then realized that he helped me through the darkest time in my life and now it was my job to do right and find him his forever home. He is with a fabulous family with two young daughters that Benny loves to play with. They also just lost a furry member of the family and Benny was ready to join their family forever and help them heal. Thank you, Rescue Me!

I would like to thank this site for being a great resource with re-homing our dogs. This is not the first time we used you guys in making such a hard decision. Your users are relentless, which I understand completely because our pets are our 'children'. Some of you guys shared your stories of lost and true love of your pets and that really helped us through the process. Thank you for that. Mia was adopted within a week of our post to a lady that lost a pet and was alone and wanted to love again. Jordan we decided to keep due to her age. Thanks, Rescue Me!

I picked up Rico on Saturday. He is such an angel, traveled well on the three and a half hour trip home sleeping in the passenger seat. He is house trained (which I love) and knows a few commands. We are going to start work on new commands later this week and an appointment with my Vet this week also. The only problem I have had is he had a few fleas, which is expected in a multi dog situation. He handled a bath well and loves to stick close to Mom. I could not be happier with my new fur-ever baby. Thanks, Rescue Me, for all you have rescued and caring for this wonderful breed.

Thank you to Jeff Gold and the Rescue Me website. What a journey I've had beginning with looking for a rescue to replace my 91 year old Mom's Yorkie, Gypsy, who suddenly left us at 13 yrs old. I purchased a new Yorkie puppy and realizing after the fact Sweet Lady was to much to handle while caring for my Mom, So I recently posted her on Rescue Me, praying she would find the perfect family to love her, play with her, and care for her. My prayers were answered here with Rescue Me, such a blessing, the perfect match! Thanks to all who responded and there were many within 24 hours, but the truth is Lady picked her new forever home and I am sure she is very happy!

I placed our Yorkie-Poo on the Rescue Me website on Thursday night and immediately starting getting calls, texts and emails. Not only did the speed in which these messages came in surprise, but they came from cities within our area-- Amazing. Everyone seemed to really want a mature dog for all the right reasons, which made making this incredibly difficult decision a little easier. Ozzy now has a new home with a younger sister Yorkie Poo to play with a new 'mom' who is home often and truly seems to love her furry 'children'! And, she has told us that we can come and visit and Ozzy can come to us for visits as well. He has only been with her a couple of nights and a day, but we have gotten update texts and everything seems to be going well. Thank you to everyone who wanted to give Ozzy a new home and especially for his new family. Rescue Me is an amazing website.

Rescue Me was such a blessing! Although it was extremely hard putting my Yorkie-Poo up for adoption, it was ultimately the best decision for my family. After only one week of being posted, I received three messages from adopters who were interested in my lil' guy. I ultimately scheduled a face-to-face meeting with one of the adopters just yesterday. He was a perfect match for my little guy, and took to her immediately. I had no reservations that he wouldn't be spoiled under her care. I even received a few photos and a text later in the evening showing he had settled into his new home just fine. Thank you Rescue Me for being available to me when I needed to find a home quickly for my lil' guy!

I volunteer at a small nonprofit rescue in the mountains of North Carolina. I was introduced to this website by a volunteer with another rescue. I was reluctant at first to even try to use the site since I am somewhat computer challenged, but the site is easy to learn and navigate, and well worth the time. In two weeks time, we have had huge success in finding homes for our pups and even an older dog. Getting inquires and out of state adoptions. Our area is very economically depressed, which of course affects the animal population. Rescue Me rocks! And the quality of the potential adopters is inspirational. I can't thank you enough for being a great tool to help the innocent pups. Please know you are appreciated.

Sender: Norma Breeland Date: July 12, 2016 _

I do not know 'who' rescued 'who'? The vet guessed her to be approximately six months old, seven pounds, and an ultra mini Schnauzer/Yorkie mix. Two sets of canines. Better to nip us with! She walked in our house ready to rule the roost! She went up and growled, pushed her body against her new friend, and tried to pick a fight with our Chihuahua. NOT! The Chihuahua won! After almost a month all get along! She got shots and started on heartworm prevention and fleas medicine. She would rather go out to potty. She is definitely a two year old! Drags all the toys out. Brings me her bowl when it's empty. We crate her at night so the house will be intact in the morning. We almost named her George. She is curious about everything. Great little watch dog. Ears up. She is ready to beat up on any Pit Bull! And the bark is bigger than she is! Surprise yesterday when I offered her a treat she sat proudly on her haunches, paws in front and begged! Who taught her that? Not me! I do know why she got to be a lost dog. When she is out, we have to watch her all the time. She is great at sneaking off! Little Houdini! So that's when she gets her leash, which she will tolerate but hates. Thank you so much for finding her home with us, Rescue Me. She continues to surprise and give us joy. BLESS.

Teddy the Yorkie is great! He is a senior. This was a smooth, easy exchange through Rescue Me. As I type this, he's in my lap. He has adjusted well and sleeps with me. He came from love and is so loved now I already have an 8x10 framed picture of him. I have a friend that has a Yorkie that just turned one. They get along great and love each other.

I had a little boy, Max. He is a five pound Yorkie and seven years old. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to put him up for adoption. I asked everyone I knew to ask everyone they knew, but to no avail. It was getting close to having to take him to the animal shelter, which would have broken my heart. Someone asked if I had him on Rescue Me, and I admitted that I had not I was hoping for a home where I could still see or hear that he was doing ok. Well, I posted him on this site, and by the end of the day, I had talked with two perspective adopters. The first loved Max but the other dog in the home wasn't as welcoming. The second family had a little girl Yorkie and she was loved so much you could see the way she talked about her and the way the dog acted towards her. We set up a meeting and it went terrific! Max was happy to have a friend to play with, and I was happy to have him go where I knew he would be wanted and loved. They sent me a picture the next day of him at his new home and told me all about his first night. They even come to our area at times and have offered to bring Max with them for a visit with me. Thank you for giving me a peace of mind knowing that Max couldn't stay with me, but he got the next best thing with his new parents. I would recommend this site to others.

An invaluable resource that facilitates finding GOOD HOMES for pets - of course you have to make the commitment to do the research for applicants, but hopefully will eliminate Craig's list listings and FREE PUPPIES which are put pets at risk by irresponsible or abusive people.

I am always looking on Rescue Me. This time I found a little guy. Looks like a Yorkie, barks like a Yorkie, full of extra energy, but definitely mixed with maybe a terrier. I really love this little guy. Not knowing if his shots were up to date, we took a trip to my vet. He really liked him. His coat is silver and very silky. He is scheduled to be fixed and he has double baby teeth, so out these go too. He loves to run in our large fenced yard and play with our two Collies, He thinks he is as big as they are. We have smiled so much at him playing that my cheeks hurt. I am working on potty training him, and so far so good. I thank you for having the 'Resue Me' and to the couple that posted him. Ladee is a great little dog and we love him. -Judy

There were many wonderful people who wanted him, but the right people were so eager to get him that they drove two hours to see him right after we talked on the phone.

We lost our Yorkie baby seven months ago. I loved him dearly and he will always be in my heart. Since he died, there has been an empty space in our home. I thought about getting a Yorkie from a breeder and someone told me about Rescue Me. The first time I saw the picture of little Chip and read his story, I knew he belonged with us. I knew we could give him a loving, caring home. We brought him home yesterday, my birthday. What a wonderful gift! He seems to be adjusting quickly, very loving little guy. Wants to be on our lap constantly. He is crate trained and potty trained. The fosters did a great job with him. They gave him love and attention that he needed. A home is not complete without a dog, and little Chip has filled that space. It takes a special kind of people to rescue, volunteer and foster these babies. Special thanks to all of you!

I was looking for a dog to travel with me. I work construction and have seen several guys bring their pets with them on the road. My wife has a friend that breeds mini Aussies and it was her idea to look into getting a rescue pet. We found Oblio on Rescue Me, he was at a local kill shelter and only had a few days left before he would be euthanized. The lady that was behind me in line had come to adopt him as well, so my insistence on being there as soon as the shelter opened paid off for me! We have a few issues to work out with Oblio, but the family is very happy with him and given done time and hard work on our part along with Oblio growing to trust us, I'm sure all is going to be great. You have to wonder about the poor fellow's former situation, and what all he may have been through. Anyhow, we love the little guy and I've got all set up to hit the road with me! I'll keep you informed on how it all works out. Thanks for providing such a wonderful site that allows potential pet owners to find potential pets! Take care and thanks again!

I was contacted by several potential adopters almost immediately and she was adopted within three days. I want to emphasize that the veterinary references were checked and after meeting the couple who adopted her, I have peace of mind knowing she has a happy loving home with her very own personal lap to sit on. Rescue Me made it much easier to find the proper home for her. It gives much needed information such as energy level, etc., which is important in order to make the proper connection. I do appreciate Rescue Me and their efforts very much and so does Tiggy.

I had been looking for a mature Yorkie since the loss of my last little ranch manager a year ago. After numerous unsuccessful visits to shelters over the last year, I had almost given up when I saw this little guy on Rescue Me. His picture projected the Yorkie attitude that I had been looking for. After filling out the application, I was contacted within a day and interviewed. Three days later, I had a new ranch manager in place. I own a 160 acre ranch and was suffering from lack of a manager. Now everything is back on track. If folks think these little dogs are only for cities and apartments, think again! They are a take charge Terrier. Thanks much for bringing us together, I wouldn't have found him without your site.

I went online Saturday morning to see if I had a response to an email about a St. Bernard rescue. When I checked my email, I had an alert from Rescue Me of a new rescue available and when I clicked on the link, there was Joey! And my heart just melted when I saw this sweet little guy! At eight pounds, he's not a St. Bernard by any means, but he was meant to have a forever home with us and we just love him to pieces!

Rescue Me is a great resource for finding and adopting pets. I was first introduced to Rescue Me while visiting my brother. I was looking for a pet for my niece and we were able to adopt a sweet Yorkie that stole everyone's hearts. Returning home, I now use Rescue Me to help find homes for pets associated with Friends of Animals. Case in point, Mini's owner could no longer take care of her and we needed to find a good loving home. Within a week, we had three qualified applicants. Mini is now in the care of a loving couple. Thanks, Rescue Me. We will continue to use you as a resource for our non-profit.

We had several requests for information regarding our dog. He has some issues that made it more improbable that we would be able to find the right home for him. However, we were so fortunate to have a most wonderful couple desire to give Romeo a place in their large family of rescue dogs. He has adjusted beautifully and the adopting family already says they love him. I miss my dog, I loved him very much, but circumstances made it impossible for me to keep him. I have to admit he is so much better off with his new family, friends both canine and human and a loving home. Thank you so much for offering a place to seek a home for a beloved pet. All the people who emailed or called were polite and seemed genuine. Thank you Jeff and Rescue Me!!

Thank you Rescue Me for your services. I found a beautiful little boy that was being surrendered by his owner and needed a forever home. I already had a little female Yorkie, but wanted another to give her some company and a companion to play with. As it turns out, I was lucky enough to be selected as the one to give him his forever home. Maxi is a four year old Yorkie who as it turned out; needed a playmate and lots of love that my husband and I are able to provide for him. I couldn't ask for a better dog to adopt. He is so full of love and is a beautiful little eight pound, eight ounce bundle of joy. His previous owner and I are keeping in touch regarding how Maxi is doing and adjusting. So far, everything is going exceptionally well and we love our new addition to our family. Again, a very big thank you to Rescue Me for providing such a great service to our furbabies; allowing them to be adopted into loving forever homes and allowing people like me to provide a stable, loving forever home for them.

Happy Weekend for those at PVHS and for their precious little rescue Yorkie named 'Baby'. This sweet dog came into the shelter about seven months ago as a very shy, very unkempt older dog. We think that she was probably a breeder dog and when she had seen her better years, she was just dumped. This 'Baby' didn't even know how to walk on the grass nor the best way to get through a door! A human touch seemed to frighten her very much! Never aggressive, but always painfully shy, she gradually decided after several months at the shelter that, perhaps, she could trust us. She has made great progress to date and, fortunately for her, a family adopted her who want to help her become the trusting, loving dog that she probably once was as a puppy ensuring that her senior years will be much happier than her young adulthood. Thank you, Rescue Me.

I've been looking for another Yorkie for many years. I did not want a puppy and most of the rescue sites won't let you have them when you have young kids. When I found that I was losing my longtime companion,l I decided to look again for another dog to be a friend for my little girl. I found Nico on Rescue Me. Thank you Barbara for giving so freely this beautiful boy. He has stolen our hearts in one day!

I will be picking up this little girl soon. Tracy's Dogs is the rescue that saved her life from a high kill border shelter. I loved that I had a video to see her personality a little bit better, but it was 'that face' that stole my heart. After Rescue Me made the connection that I was interested, I then completed an adoption application. They are very thorough with screening potential families and I am thankful they do that and grateful I qualified. After speaking with the adoption coordinator at the rescue, she gave me a good picture, if you will, of how this rescue operates. They are tested for many diseases and health conditions before they are even brought into the facility. If it is something minor that can be treated with antibiotics or medication that is administered at the same time they are micro chipped and spayed/neutered. They are then introduced to about six other dogs (a pack) that they romp around with a fenced area during the day but have their own crates they sleep in. They are constantly monitored as well as a vet checking them weekly. Health issues definitely concerned me before speaking with the adoption coordinator. No worries now! She will be transported along with about 40 other precious pups that have been adopted. They are in a climate controlled trailer in individual crates and they stop every few hours for potty breaks, snacks and to stretch their legs. This trailer is driven by the husband of the founder of Tracy's Dogs every delivery, which I find remarkable. After a three hour drive, we will pick up our little girl along with all the other adoptive 'parents' at the designated time. We will then start our lives together and she will have her 'Forever Home'! I will submit another story when we finally meet her. Thank you Rescue Me for assisting me in finding her, if it weren't for you I would never have known about her. God Bless You!!

I cannot say enough for how much Rescue Me helped me locate our little Good Luck 'Charlie.' I haven't had my own indoor dog for over 20 years. I had to recently retire early due to health reasons. It was difficult for me because I was quite the workaholic. I love small dogs. I always owned small dogs and knew a lot about many small breeds. I thought about getting a registered dog. A friend had mentioned looking for a rescue dog. Then I started doing some research related to rescue animals and I could not believe the number of animals that needed to be rescued. How many animals there were out there that needed good homes. I was so impressed with the Rescue Me site and how it worked. I have seen so many wonderful animals and so many heart wrenching stories. I first tried to look at locating a rescue pet in my area and there were none that met what I was looking for. I felt guilty, but I knew as an indoor pet I wanted a tiny dog. The Rescue Me site was great. I could search by breed and state so it allowed me to select those small breeds I was familiar with and my state. I actually placed applications with more than one location. Since I knew I was going to end up driving several hours, I wanted to be sure approvals were in place. I like that they evaluate individuals to try and ensure they are not sending a pet into a bad situation. So, after all of this and a lot of emails and phone conversations, my husband and I got in our car to make a two hour trip to see if this little dog would have a connection with me. I was so worried, knowing he had been neglected and abused I was worried that he would be afraid. I have always had a way with animals, and I have two kitties that adore me and act like dogs, I was just praying this little dog would connect with me. When I first got there he was a little shy. I sat in the floor and just gave him space and his own time. But next thing I know he was in my lap and gave me a kiss. That was when I knew he trusted me and he knew I was OK. THANK-YOU Rescue Me for helping me find our new member of the family. He is now Good Luck Charlie; Charlie for short. He is absolutely adorable. He is smart and playful. He plays fetch, tug, chase, but best of all he loves to cuddle and be loved on. I am amazed at how well he listens and he has quickly become a member of the family. My grandchildren love him. The best thing is, my husband, I believe, is as smitten with him as much as I am. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it all worked out. I forgot to mention, the first dog that I actually tried to get from a different location, ended up being adopted by someone else. But I am a big believer, everything happens for a reason.... and Charlie is the reason. Charlie was meant to be in our home as part of our family. He belongs here with us. He has his new bed, that is if he isn't in ours; he has his new collar and leash, he has a couple sweaters for the cold weather and a heavy coat for the snow, he has several new toys, a sock monkey to throw around in the air and to fetch, and a rope and ball to play tug with. He is obviously already spoiled rotten and we have taken tons of pictures, you would think I had given birth to another child. But for me, my animals are like one of my children. I have 5 children and I love them with all of my heart and would protect them with my life from harm just as I do my pets. :-) They have had pets all of their lives, and it is my turn again, they are all grown and gone with children of their own. It's my turn again, and I now have my perfect little Charlie.

I lost my best friend. My precious angel, Jack was a five year old terrier mix. He was fiercely loyal and loved me unconditionally as I did him. Since that time, I have been in a deep depression with no hope of pulling out. I used to look at these rescue sites and read the stories of rescue all the time and always told Jack we were so lucky to have each other. I decided to just see what was out there. I figured that Jack brought so much joy into my life that maybe I was in the position to help a rescue pet. I filled out the alert with my preferences and saw this sweet puppy. I emailed and received a reply very quickly. The volunteer did caution me that several people had been calling about him. I got up to start the trip from my home, approximately two and a half hours away, when I received the call that he found a home. I was sad, but figured it was not meant to be. I received another alert days later and could not believe that his picture was back on the site. I was able to reach the same volunteer who put me in contact with the lady who had adopted him. She was very nice and agreed to meet me half way between our respective homes. Today, I met the sweetest little 9.7 pounds of kisses. He is absolutely adorable and my family loves him. I really figure this means that we were meant to be together. Without this site, we would never have gotten the chance. Thanks Rescue Me.

My little, eight year old, male Yorkie was killed last month. I was looking to replace him, since I am retired and live in a nice home with a big fenced yard. The two Yorkies I adopted from Rescue Me were a package deal, mother and daughter. The owners could not care for them anymore and they needed a lot of medical care, especially their teeth, which are in very bad shape. I will probably spend around $450 to get them to perfect health again, but they are sweet little dogs and well worth the love they bring to me! Thank you for your website, Jeff. It is a great service. I will try to donate to you in the near future. Thank you.

Something quite peculiar happened at our house.. We had company, and as he is wont to do when that occurs, the hub went to walk them out to their car as they were leaving. He had barely stepped on the front porch when he turned back around and re-entered the house with something in his arms. As he was saying 'Look what I just found', he handed me something warm and furry. It was this little guy! The hub said he was just sitting on the porch, looking in through the screen door at us. He, the dog not the hub, wasn't scared or skittish of any of us. He was just dirty and ill-groomed with no collar or tags. With no way of identifying him, nor his owners, we did the only thing we could do and took him in, for now at least. A real sweetie, we would have loved to have kept him, but our Fiona, a Decker Rat Terrier we rescued a few years back, was territorial whenever either I, the hub or any chew toys were close at hand. We actively looked for his family, but nothing has worked so far. I've spent hours looking at ads for missing pets, yes hours, as there are far more many places to look than you might think. We've walked him around our tract of homes, asking everyone we see if they recognized him or have heard of a missing dog. And do the same in the car when we come and go from the shops. All to no avail. Turning him over to a shelter was not an option we considered. I'd contacted a few Yorkie Rescues but they wanted pure breeds. Finally, in my online search I found Rescue Me and shortly thereafter had completed the process of placing our story here. Less than 12 hours later, I had a call from a family who had just recently lost their Yorkie and his sister a short while prior to that. After talking to the wife, I felt we may have found a good fit. I then called Jeff at Rescue Me. We'd talked when I first tried to post and had problems uploading a photo. He was so nice I felt comfortable calling him back to ask him a few questions. The main one was about the best way to vet a possible family. I had mentioned to him that part of the information I'd gotten from the woman wanting the dog was the name, address and phone number of the veterinarian they had been using for 22+ years. He told me that was an excellent place to start and sometimes the only reference people relied on in regards to approving a family. However, by this time it was after 6pm and their clinic was closed for the night. Wanting to meet 'Scooter', the entire family of mom, dad and college aged son drove 45 miles and back to look at a dog whose photo they fell in love with. Knowing that our plan was to have them all meet, then leave the dog with us until I could talk to their vet, and if he okayed them, drive the same total of 90+ miles to pick him up the next day. When they got to our house, it was obviously love at first sight. They brought photos of their last two Yorkies. We were able to see how well groomed and well taken care of they had been. As I had mentioned on the phone, 'Scooter' loved running around our backyard so they even brought photos of theirs to show us. They must have visited for over an hour, telling stories about the beloved pets they had passed away. And I could see by how they were all interacting with the dog that they would be a great family for him. We didn't feel right making them make the long drive again in less than 24 hours. If you would have seen them together, I know you'd have felt the same way. So 'Scooter' is now with his new family and we have made new friends! I just want to add one more thing, even though this is probably much longer a story than you wanted, we have never fostered a dog before although both the hub and myself are long time pet parents. And while we knew the best thing, because of Fiona's reactions, to get this adorable Yorkie a new home, he still made a mark in both of our lives. So my hat's off to all of you that are involved with animal rescues, especially those that open their homes and hearts for a knowingly limited time span. I don't know how you do it, but thanks!

This pup came up when I was feeling so depressed this morning. I immediately went onto Rescue Me when I received your update. He is gentle, loving. Gets along well with my Halie. I bathed him in a flea bath, rinsed and conditioned his skin, dried him, and fed him a very healthy meal. I will feed him small meals several times a day until he gains weight. He has a healthy record from the vet. We played, took a walk outside and I think he is fitting in fine. No barking or biting. He even used the puppy pads I put down for him. He has his own little bed for now with toys and fresh water where he can find it. I put one of my old shirts in his bed and he has his little head laying on it now. He is tired. He has already become very attached to the family. I plan to take them out to the park late tomorrow to walk and get exercise. I could not bear the thought this animal might be put down. He has lots of love and life still and I plan to make sure he gets it for as long as he lives. He will be happy and healthy as long as I have him. We are all happy as a family of four now. God bless this site. Thank you, Rescue Me. You brought another angel into my home.

I am happy to report that I found a wonderful, loving home for Apricot by using this website, Rescue Me! Apricot had been abused, physically and emotionally, by an elderly couple that used her for dog breeding and kept her in a crate. I adopted her from an animal rescue organization a couple of years ago after she had been surrendered to them by the couple. She was a mess. She was five years old then, had bilateral eye and ear infections, malnourished, and scared to death of humans. It took me a year before she would wag her tail and a total of two years to get her to start to feel safe & secure and begin to display play behavior. She felt safe with other dogs. As my older dogs died off and my busy schedule, I knew I needed to find a home for her with someone that had more time. It had to be a calm environment and had to have other dogs. Because of Apricot's past abuse, I had to be particularly careful who I placed her with. Luckily, Brenda found Apricot on this website. Brenda is retired and has another dog about Apricot's size and age with a similar history of neglect, so they will be perfect for one another. Brenda is a sweet and loving woman who can give Apricot the love and attention that she needs and deserves. Thank you so much, Jeff Gold, for what you do in saving lives. Apricot says thank you, too.

Being new to the Rescue Me site, I did not know what to expect. But I could not be more happy and feel as if this site has directly blessed my family. It began when my 12 year old daughter and her little Yorkie, Addy, moved into my home. After living for years with her father, my daughter's sweet pup had received no medical attention and had a visible condition with her skin (later found out to be mange). Bringing my daughter into my home and putting her in school with all the expenses that entailed, I could not afford to give Addy the attention she so desperately needed. Never seeing or hearing of this site previously, I found it, placed my post, and watched the miracle happen. After a week or so, I received a phone call from Addy's future mom, and new life began. This loving woman had been the owner of two Yorkies, one of which had passed away a couple of months back. She and her husband were retired, had a Yorkie son, and knew the cost and time that taking Addy into their home would require. They were happy to take on the little girl, loving her with everything they had and making her a part of their family. They picked her up and took her directly to their vet, where she will stay for two weeks to heal. Then she will go home to live a new, happy, comfortable life with her new Mommy and Daddy. Thank you, Rescue Me!
