A BIG 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' TO OUR FOREVER OURS JAKE!! JAKE TURNED 20 IN JANUARY!! Quite an amazing milestone for a Yorkie that was going to be put to sleep if UYR had not rescued him 5 years ago. A big thank you to his foster mom Catherine McCool for loving this adorable little fella and keeping him well!

UYR is looking for more volunteers to help us continue to rescue Yorkies in need! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please complete an online Volunteer Application. The link for this is located in the left hand column of our website.

We are also looking for members that have skills in sewing and in fundraising. If you have either of these please contact me for more information. Thank you to all who continue to support us. We could not do what we do without you!!
