Quick update on precious Blaze! What a difference 48 hours can make! You may recall, Blazes skin was so bad he went straight from the shelter to the ER on Saturday. And they worked their magic with multiple meds, an injection, skin soothing treatments and LOTS OF TLC! By Sunday the bright red had faded to pink and Blaze was no longer clawing himself from unbearable itching. Thats the good news! Blaze was seen by the general Vet today where he had lots of blood drawn that will be sent for testing so that we can get to the bottom of all Blazes issues. The Vet suspects he may have Cushings Disease but will need initial test results and additional diagnostics to confirm or rule out. Blazes foster Mom says he is over the moon sweet and the Vet staff marveled at how calm and tolerant he was. And doesnt he look adorable in his blue hoodie?!? Blaze wants to thank EVERYONE who has asked about him and donated to his care! He WOOFS YOU BIGLY!

Initial Bio 1/24/26: Welcome poor Blaze to rescue. Its been a wild week at UYR. Blaze is our 4th intake this week in FL alone. But how could we say no to this? Blaze was picked up as a stray running the streets. He was taken to shelter and scanned. He had a microchip! Yay! It was registered! Double Yay! They were able to track down his owner! Triple Yay! The shelter even brought Blaze home! This is the point in Blaze's story that's supposed to lead to a happy ending! Right?!?! WRONG! His owner who adopted him from another rescue at age 5 no longer wanted him at 13.5. He was too old, too much trouble, too expensive to care for, too EVERYTHING and JUST NO they do not want him anymore. So poor Blaze went back to the shelter with little hope and few prospects. Ironically, Blaze is his REAL NAME. You might think its a name we gave him because his skin looks like it is literally on fire and resembles that of a burn victim. When we saw him we knew we had to help him and help him we are. Blaze was picked up at the shelter by one our most experienced fosters who said he is in the worst shape of any dog she has ever pulled. He was transported straight to the emergency room where he is right now with his foster Mom and Dad receiving desperately needed (and very expensive) emergency care. We so hope we can ease his suffering and get him better fast! If you can help please click donate and share! Thank You!


To date we've spent $1592.63 on Blaze's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $1220.99 in donations.

Buster

Buster is a 10-year-old Yorkie mix boy who weighs 6 pounds. Buster is being fostered in Longwood, FL.

THANK YOU TO BUSTER'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Stephanie Slack, Debra Frare, Sandy Pagnotta, Yvette Vangeloff, Wendy Henry, Cheryl Scrupski, Alex LeBlanc, Angie Cagle

Initial Bio 1/19/26: Buster comes to us as an owner surrender. Buster needed more time, care and attention than they had to give him. Sadly, Buster is way behind in veterinary care. His mouth is in terrible shape so in addition to complete vetting, full blood work and urinalysis he's going to need a dental with multiple extractions. Buster if not fully house-trained and he will be working on that in his foster home. In the meantime, foster mom is managing with a belly band. Busters owners describe him as a sweet, gentle boy who loves being with his person. He does have some separation anxiety and will whine on occasion but not excessive. Buster has just arrived in his foster home so stay tuned for updates as we get to know him better.


To date we've spent $2769.27 on Buster's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $360 in donations.

Coal

Coal is a sweet boy . He is a 14 month old, 5-pound Pom/Maltipoo being fostered near Palm Coast FL.

THANK YOU TO COAL'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta

Update 1/18/26

Coal is a 7lb extremely timid little 15 month old velcro boy. He is extremely affectionate but very timid and does require security from his person. First thing in the morning, he does his zoomies when he goes outside to potty. He is as funny as can be when he runs at the speed of wind. He does seem to be housebroken and has had no accidents in the house. It is apparent that he was never socialized as a puppy and is very skittish and afraid of many things. He will run and sometimes hide under furniture if he hears a noise or anything that frightens him. Foster mom is trying to socialize him by bringing him around other small dogs at the small doggy park and also letting him interact with other humans at the park on his own terms. He is improving slowly and is starting to show a little independence by slightly walking away from his foster mom on his own. He is still afraid of most people. Cole requires a very calm and quiet household and at least one owner that is a stay at home person. He wants to be with you at all times but is learning to trust other humans. He is doing very well in his foster home with her one small female dog. If he is placed in a home with another dog, that dog will need to be around or under 15lbs or smaller. He sleeps with his foster mom in her bed as close to her as possible and may even sleep on her chest or tummy. Aside from being timid and shy, is his poor appetite and eating habits. He will go a couple of days without eating and when you can get him to eat, he sometimes has to be hand fed very small amounts like the equivalent of 5 raisins. He has been vetted and is healthy except he is on anti-nausea medication at the moment while Cole's foster mom continues to work at finding a food he will eat. She will continue to work at finding what he likes to eat so that he can be adopted into his furever home. He is so precious and we will continue to work with him until and help him to be the great little guy that he has the potential to be. Needless to say, he requires a very calm and soft spoken human that will be very patient with him to be his next mom or dad, along with a quiet, stable home with no children.

01/03/2026 Initial Bio: Coal just arrived in his new foster home. His mom could no longer care for him due to her medical issues. Coal has been loved and cared for since he was a puppy. He has had some training and loves to be with his person. Stay tuned for more information as we get to know Coal.


To date we've spent $366.31 on Coal's vet bills, but with your support we've collected $82.73 in donations.

Lexi

Lexi is a 3-year-old Yorkie Mix who weighs 15lbs and is being fostered near Palm Coast FL.

THANK YOU TO LEXI'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Cynthia Kirk-Morgan, thank you for Chibi who is the joy of my life!, Mara Tongue; Thank you UYR for without you we would not have Bella!, Wendy Henry, Cheryl Scrupski, Yvette Vangeloff, Nestor Sanchez

Update 8/11/25:

Hi, Lexi here! Just checking in. What have yall been up to this summer? I have mostly been hanging in the house or running and playing in the back yard or going on car rides. Foster mommy says its just to hot outside and if I go for a walk which I love, I might burn the bottoms of my paws. I can be a bit hard to walk with as I get very excited when I see another doggie or a bicyle. Foster mommy has been working with me to get me to slow down. I am a spunky 3 year old girly with lost of energy. I definitely need a home with a fenced in backyard where I can run off some of my energy. I do love the outdoors and I love chasing those things with a long tail. I think theyre called lizzies. I also love car rides. I just get in my own car seat and go to sleep. I do like being with my person. I dont like being left behind and if there is a big rain storm, I am terrified of thunder. I get along with little dogs (6-7lbs) but I dont like other dogs that are around my size or larger. It would be best if I am the only princess in the house. Oh! And about your bed, well its my bed too! Thats all for now. Every body have a good rest of your summer. Lexi is being fostered near Palm Coast and can only be adopted within an 80 mile range of her current home.

Update Bio 7/6/25

LEXI: Just look at me! Am I cute or what? I am a 15lb Morkie (Maltese Yorkie mix) I am three years young. I like to run and play in a fenced in backyard. I also like walks but I am fearful of big dogs and bicycles. I am very good when riding in the car. I just get in my seat and go to sleep. But I do like to be with my person so outings are my absolute favorite. I dont get along with dogs my size or big dogs but I am OK with little dogs. I am just very afraid of bigger dogs. I was abused when I was about 5 months old so I have to learn to trust people. I am energetic and I love to run and especially I love to chase lizards. I need a home with a completely fenced in back yard so I can run around. No children please. Im a little high strung for small kids. I have had a couple homes in my short life so I am looking forward to finding my furever home and family.

Update 4/5/25: Hello everybody, its me Lexi with an update as what I have been doing lately. Well, I am still chasing those lizards in the backyard. There are so many more to chase now that its warm outside. I just love to be outside in my big backyard. Its so much fun. My foster mommy says I have come such a long way and that I am such a good little girlie. You remember that I was abused as a puppy and I have to learn to trust in my person. Well, I have learned to trust everyone in my foster home and I love them all! I sleep in bed with my foster mommy. I like to

snuggle up against her. She doesnt particularly like it but I do and she lets me get my way! When morning comes, I wake her up with a big kiss and gently put my paw on her face to make sure she gets up because I am hungry and I want to eat and go outside to play. I get along very well with the other little doggies in the home. Dont know about kitties as I havent met one yet. I have learned that a persons touch is not going to hurt me but is because they love me.

I am completely housebroken. Love playtime and a big back yard to run and play in. I also like to take walks and go for car rides. I just snuggle down in my car seat and enjoy the ride. Oh! Just so you know, Im really afraid of thunder. If there is a storm I want to be held and cuddled. I can get a little excited sometimes so maybe a home with no young kids is best for me. If you feel you have the pawfect home for me please fill out an adoption application or reach out through my foster mommys eMail and she will answer any questions you may have. Got to go! The lizzards are calling me to play a game of catch me if you can.

Update 3/7/25: Meet Lexi a 3 year old 15lb Morkie (Maltese Yorkie). Lexi is a very sweet little girlie that has a past of being abused as a puppy. Due to her previous abuse she has become very guarded around newcomers. For this reason, she needs an owner that has lots of patience and will give Lexi all the time she needs to settle into a new home. She is a very active young dog and for this reason requires a fenced backyard. Also, Lexi must be the only dog in the home, with no children living in the household and someone that is home most all day to give Lexi allot of time, affection and attention. Lexi has never had a permanent home as she was shuffled from relative to relative due to her previous owner traveling for work so much therefor, she is in need of a place that she can call her home. She is in the process of being leashed trained but still gets very excited when she sees another dog. Lexi loves to run and play in the backyard chasing lizards. She especially loves a game of Tug O War. She is a very sweet girl but will need time and patience to learn to trust her person due to her past abuse. Once she knows she can trust her person or family, you are her world. She also wants to snuggle and sleep up against you to make sure you are safe all night long. Condo living would not be an option for sweet Lexi as she is very protective of herself and her family and will bark if she hears something she feels signals danger.

1/23/25

Lexi is back! She was surrendered by her recent adopter because she wasnt getting along with the other dog in the home. It may be that Lex needs to be the only little pampered princess in the home. She a 3 year old ball of energy that loves to play. Lexi has has a few homes in her short life. She was removed from her first home at just 5 mos old as she was being abused as a small puppy. She was then adopted by a wonderful lady that eventually surrendered due to her feeling that she didnt have the time to commit to Lexi as she is a young energetic dog. Due to this, she has never had a stable place to live for very long and is so deserving of a home to call her forever home. Lexi loves to run and play in a fenced backyard chasing squirrels and lizards. Her ideal home would have a backyard for her to run and exercise in to work off some of her energy. A stay at home person would be ideal as she is young and needs frequent outdoor time. She is a great watch dog and is very loving and protective of her foster family. If you feel your home would be a fit for Lexi please fill out the adoption application to be considered.

01/06/2025

Lexi is a 3 year old 15lb Morkie owner surrender due to her past owner (out of feelings of love for what is best for Lexi) and not having enough time to give to this very active little girlie. According to Lexi's previous owner, she suffered from abuse as as a small puppy by her first owner and was removed from the home but shows no signs of even remembering the incidents and completely trusts and loves everyone she meets. This will be Lexi's third home since her birth and it MUST be her last and FOREVER home! She deserves to have a stable home with nothing but time, attention and lots of love. Since Lexi has been in foster care we have gotten to know Lexi's personality a bit over the past couple months. She loves attention, playtime and cuddles. She is absolutely a little sweetie. she loves to cuddle in bed at your feet where she feels she is protecting you. She does get along with other dogs in the home but can be a bit much for a much smaller dog as she is very active and wants to play hard sometimes and can be intimidating to very small dogs. Her prefered home would have a dog her approximate size and age that loves to play as much as Lexi does. Lexi has discovered lizards and loves to chase them in her outdoor time. She also loves a good game of Tug O' War! A fenced backyard would be awesome to run and play and wear out some of her activeness but is not a deal breaker. She just loves outdoor time. Lexi is also very much a great watch dog and spends her time in the window making sure no one gets near her home or her foster family that doesn't belong there. She gives off a good loud bark if she feels or sees someone getting to close to her backyard. Lexi is housebroken but needs help with leash training as she pulls when walking on a leash. This is an easy correction with a little time and just learning to walk by her person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. She will have her dental prior to her adoption. If you feel your home would be a great fit for this amazing little girlie please fill out the adoption application to be considered.

Sandy Pagnotta

Hello! My name is Rocky. I am a 3 year old adorable young man, I dont mean to be conceited but have you seen my pictureI am very cute and wait until you see me after a trip to the barber. I had my first night with my foster parents Sunday 1-11-26. I think it went pretty well. I was quickly comfortable in my new setting. After our long car ride, I was ready to play and explore my new space. I had a good night sleep in my crate for the whole night. And want to let you know I LOVE my crate. I am looking for humans that keep up with me, as a three year old terrier I want to let you know I have a lot of energy to burn. I love walks, playing fetch and being petted and loved on. I will be happy in a home or a condo setting but I need lots of walks and play time. I have a few appointments before I am ready to go live my best life. Once those are complete, I am all in for a new adventure!

Sincerely,

Rocky

Meet Tripp a 3-year-old, 7 pound Yorkie boy. Tripp is being fostered near Palm Coast, FL.

THANK YOU TO TRIPP'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Lee Sumergrad, Barbara Burgess, Lee Sumergrad, DeAnn Deutsch

Bio Update 1/14/26

Hi again y'all, Tripp here. Well, it's been a busy few days here in foster care. I had a dental and I was neutered. I am recovering from my neuter. I have allot of energy so keeping me quiet is not an option! It's ok though. I am pretty healed up now. I like to play with other dogs my size in the backyard and I love the outdoors. I still need help with housebreaking but I am so smart that now that I am neutered it should be much easier for me to catch on. I also like to pick things up and put them in my mouth if you leave them around. Like my foster daddy's belt. He left it out the other day and I chewed the end of it. I still have a lot of puppy in me and I need a little training and patience. Something it seems I didn't get in my previous home. I do like to give big wet kisses to my person and snuggle up in bed with you. I also love to eat. I was severely underweight when I first came into foster care but I have made up for it and now I have gained a few pounds and filled out to where I should be. Im just waiting for my furever person who will help me with training and give me patience and time to learn all while loving me at the same time.

Initial Bio 12/18/25

Hi everybody! I'm Tripp. I was affectionately named Tripp because I decided one day to take a trip on my own and got lost. I was found hiding under some bushes by some nice people. Boy was I scared and hungry! I was covered in those sticker thingies and hadn't eaten in a while. My little rib bonies were showing. I was taken to a wonderful lady with UYR and now I am in foster care where I get lots of yummy food to eat and am slowly gaining weight and also have other fur babies to play with. I also get to sleep in bed with my foster mom and the other pups. I get along with other small pups but because Im so young, sometimes I can be a bit to much and annoying to the older pups as I can be pretty active and just want to play all day. Due to my small delicate size, its best for me if I am not in a home with small children.

Since there is no history on me and obviously I can't speak for myself, I have to go to the dogtor and have a check-up. I also will be neutered prior to adoption. My foster mommy thinks I may have been used as a breeder or was going to be used as one. It is guesstimated that I may be around a year old. Stay tuned for updates once I have seen the dogtor.

Kentucky
Spanky

Spanky is a 11year old (estimated) Yorkie boy being fostered near Elizabethtown, KY.

THANK YOU TO SPANKY'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Barbara Lalani, Paul and Patty Kirchner

UPDATED BIO

09/08/2025: Spanky is an 11-year-old boy who came to foster parents with severely crusted eyes and skin irritation. Upon a vet visit, it was determined that Spanky suffers from dry eye syndrome. He will be permanently on eye ointment, which he endures like a champ. After a few weeks of antibiotics, he is doing much better. His skin irritation is gone. A spa day with the groomer has this spunky boy struttening his awesomeness.

It is suspected that he suffered neglect in his previous life. He gets along well with other dogs, and he didn't mind his foster parents' grandchildren (ages 3 and 7). However, he is not properly house trained. We are working on that with him.

Spanky is a sweet and affectionate boy, who just wants to be special to someone who will love him. He wants to be your forever lap dog.

Initial Bio 7/9/25: Spanky has just come into Rescue; please stay tuned for more information.

Gina
Texas
Gina TX

Meet Gina, a precious 8 year old, 9 pound Yorkie girl being fostered in Kyle, TX. Only Texas applicants will be considered.

THANK YOU TO GINA'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Tracy Cunningham, Sandy Pagnotta, Susan Segalo, Barbara Lalani, Barbara Burgess, Sandra Wendt, Crystal Dicosola, Cindy McKimm, David and Diana Lavine, Jessica Forrester

Update 10/27/25: Miss Gina is doing well here. She is an absolute sweetheart and very well mannered in the house. She is finally able to be around my best friends dog, but it took several weeks of interaction. We, however feel that Gina will do best as the only pet in the home. She LOVES her daily walks. We walk 1-2 times a day, up to about 1/2-2/3 of a mile each time. Due to her never being socialized she does react to other animals and some people by barking, but her walks are the best way to introduce her to something she was not given. We do feel over time, she will know that this will be just a normal situation. Gina has also decided that the Halloween decor is not her friend too LOL!! If her furever family decides no walks, that's ok too, as long as she has a yard to play in! She loves to go out in the backyard and chase squirrels and lizards, so a home with a fenced yard is a priority. Inside she's super sweet. If I leave the large living area, she is right on my heels...all the way into the bathroom! She's so quiet inside that I hung some bells on her collar so that I know where she is! Gina loves to be petted and scratched and lays right next to you. Gina is learning everything about being with humans, you can tell she had such a sad life prior without much human interaction. At bedtime I let her snuggle in bed, then she leaves to go in her crate because she gets very anxious in the evenings. She has recently started some meds for that and is doing much better. She needs to be with someone who is home most of the day and can let her in and out as needed and give her the attention she never had growing up. She really is such a sweetheart!

Update 6/10/25: Gina is doing so well! She is spayed and had a dental cleaning and they had to remove 3 more teeth, but she still has most of her teeth. She has done amazingly well on a mostly carnivore diet here. Her hair has stopped falling out and she has gained some weight! She does have a little heart murmur that may require medication in the future. This girl LOVES her daily walks. She actually jumps and dances when it's time to go out, lol. She will initially bark (a lot) at new people, but after she's been allowed to sniff them, she loves them. She does well with older kids, but she hasn't been around any young ones. She is definitely an alpha female and it appears that she had to fight for everything where she came from. I believe she may have been abused. She only barks when there are new people or other animals in her sight.

She does not care for other dogs and will need to be an only pet. She will watch you eat, but will not whine or beg for food. If you leave the room, she will follow you. She loves being petted and scratched. She would prefer to sleep with you, but will sleep in her crate without any problems. I think she would be best with someone who is retired, or home most of the time. I also think she's a little hard of hearing. Gina is the name she came into the shelter with, so I didn't change it. I do, however, call her Gina, Gigi, Miss G, or Pretty Girl. She really is such a sweet girl and I will miss her tremendously!

Initial Bio 4/22/25: Gina came to UYR from a hoarding surrender. She is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs a little under 10 pounds.

She was so frightened, anxious and dirty when I picked her up. After a bath and some cuddling she started to warm up. At her dogter visit she was diagnosed as underweight, dehydrated, missing 4 teeth and with a heart murmur. The vet seems to think that the heart murmur could likely improve with better health and less stress. She looks so much better after her groom! She is really settling in here and is much more outgoing than when she first arrived. She has her favorite spot on the couch, and has been sleeping in her comfy crate next to my bed. She seems well potty trained, even though she had a couple of accidents her first day here. I take her out frequently. She loves being outside and going for walks. I'm currently teaching her how to fetch, but she will only play for a few minutes at a time. She loves being petted and scratched, and is slowly learning to let me cuddle her. She loves my adult sons and my older grandkids. She will be introduced to my best friends little dog this weekend. She will stay with me until she has gained a couple of pounds, and after she has had her spay and dental. She really is the sweetest girl!

Update 1/8/26: Look at this precious little girl. Luna came to us as a true hot mess.

If your wanting a shadow to love you forever here she is. Please go to www.uyr.us and to Looking for Love. Scroll down to Texas and you will find her app under her bio!

Initial Bio 1/3/26: Oh my goodness, such a sad story for this precious little UNITED YORKIE RESCUE nugget, Luna. Luna is 8yrs old and 7lbs of pure sweetness. Her story is another one full of sadness. Luna was found on a country road by an amazing gentleman. He knew who the owner was, as she had been on the road in the past. When he brought her back to the owner, the owner told him she didn't want her, and that her medical needs were just too much and she couldn't afford her any longer. Luna had eye infections, her ears were closed shut with infections. Her fur was missing on her little feet, under her neck and belly from untreated bacteria and yeast infections, and a massive mammary tumor on her belly as well from being bred to death!! Typical breeder dump!!

I'm so blessed to be her foster mom! We are currently on a lot of meds to kill the skin infection, and we are on schedule to have her surgeries and pathology for her tumor on Jan 13th! Luna got the best Christmas gift and her New Year will be one to celebrate!! She is receiving the best of LOVE and desperately needed medical care each day.

We cannot do this without you, as you are our Rescue family and friends. We have a generous gift donation offer of up to $5000 and we're looking for a match. We hope that you might be able to help us reach that goal! I'll always continue to share her story as we get this baby all the care she needs. You can Zelle United Yorkie Rescue at uyrtreasurer@yahoo.com, or go to our website at www.uyr.us, and click on the donate button on the home page! We love you all and Luna is so blessed to have her best life ever. I tell you, she is absolutely so so sweet and she is loving this thing called love that she's getting daily!!

Briggs

Meet Briggs, a sweet 12-year-old, 5 pound Yorkie boy being fostered near Alexandria, VA.

THANK YOU TO BRIGGS' RESCUE ANGELS!

Samantha Burns, Sandy Pagnotta, Wendy Fuhrnaneck

Initial Bio

1/17/2026: Briggs just arrived Friday night, this poor baby has had a ROUGH life!! He was surrendered to us by his owner. We were told that he is 12yrs old. He has no teeth and only 1 eye. He was severely neglected, clearly you can see that from the pictures. His hair was matted and he had dried poop in clumps smashed into his hair. I have cut out as many of the matts that I could without hurting him. He will have to be shaved down to get out the rest. He has been given a bath, and he seems to be very grateful for that! He is under weight and his hearing doesn't seem to be very good. It appears to me that he has some health issues as well, but I will know more this week when I take him to the vet. I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could let an animal get to this point!

1/20/26: Just a quick update on sweet Briggs.... He is starting to come out of his shell a little and show his personality. He's waging his tail now and starting to show some excitement when I walk into the room. For everything this baby has been through it amazing me that he is soooooooo sweet. I have earned his trust, but I am still going slow with him. He went to the vet yesterday and he needs to put on some weight. Why is it that when I go to the Dr I am told just the opposite?? LOL I am waiting for his bloodwork, but upon exam there wasn't anything alarming per the vet.

He has done well with my 2 yorkies and doesn't seem to be fazed at all by the cat. He is a very special little boy who deserved only the best. Stay tuned for more updates as I get to know more about him.

1/25/26: The bloodwork is back and he is PERFECT but I already knew that! As I have gotten to know this little man better, I think he would do best in a quiet home without children or other animals over 10 lbs. He prefers the simple thing in life like quiet and his bed. He has been eating well but you will need to get him jump started. His hearing isn't the best, but then again, most yorkies have selective hearing anyway. LOL Honestly.... he is just as sweet as they come. You do have to go slow with him and take your time to earn his trust. Because he only has one eye if you reach for him on that side and he can't see you hand coming he gets startled. He will not be adopted out of state so if you are in VA and think you are the perfect home for him, please complete an application for adoption.

1/31/26: Hi everyone.... it's me Briggs! I have been settling into my new foster home for the last 2 weeks now and FM says that she can't believe how quickly I have been adjusting. I still haven't been able to go to the salon to get my hair done by the professionals because mother nature had other plans. We have gotten soooooo much of the white stuff and ice. FM says that we have to wait for the roads to get better before we can go. I can tell you one thing for sure I DO NOT like the white stuff. FM says that she doesn't blame me.

Let me tell you a little about how far I have come in the last 2 weeks. I am really starting to trust and come out of my shell. I get excited when I see FM and she said that my little stump of a tail moves so much and so fast she thinks I might take off in flight! LOL I'm starting to lick FM's hand and will play a little at night when we get into bed. My foster sister (another yorkie) always wants to give kisses and at first it really made me nervous, but now I'm warming up to the idea and letting her get a little closer. I sleep in bed with FM and both of the other yorkies that live with us. I'm even letting them snuggle a little closer now and I think I kinda like it. I have been eating like a champ and FM says that's a good thing because I still need to gain some weight. I'm not real big on treats, but the other 2 pups that live here are ok with that! They are more than happy to have my share of the treats. FM says I am just the best little guy... and I couldn't agree more with her!! Stay tuned for more updates.... Bye for now.

Virginia
Fletcher

Meet Fletcher, a sweet 12-year-old, 9 pound Yorkie boy being fostered near Clarksville, VA.

THANK YOU TO FLETCHER'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Dan Clauser, Jessica Forrester, Alex LeBlanc, Barbara Burgess, Angie Cagle, Kevin Pfeiffer

8/11/2025: Hello everybody! It's me Fletcher and do I have story to tell you. Let's go all the way back to February of this year (2025). My owners decided they didn't want me anymore so they so they opened the door and let me go out all by myself on an adventure. It was an adventure all right! I made it all the way from Maryland to Virginia without getting into to much trouble. A nice lady found me hanging out in a cemetery not looking so good so she picked me up and took me to a local vet's office to see if I was micro chipped. Guess what.... I was! The vet's office called my old owner and they said they didn't want me anymore (that's how we found out I was on the street for 5 whole months). That's when the nice people at the Dr's office called UYR and my foster mom came and got me right away.

I'm a healthy boy... up to date on my shots now and I had my teeth cleaned. I only have 5 teeth left now, but that doesn't stop me from eating! I love to eat!! FM says I am a super sweet boy but I'm a little anxious. FM isn't sure if it's because I was out on the street for so long and I need more time to adjust to living back inside. I get along great with the other pups in my foster home, but I like to chase the cat. That doesn't make the kitty or FM happy. I am trying to get better about that. I don't want to eat the kitty and I'm not mean to him I just like to chase him. Needless to say the kitty doesn't like me now. I guess I can't blame him.

FM thinks I would do great with another doggie sibling or I would be just fine as an only dog because I LOVE attention and to be loved on!! I'm really a sweet boy who just wants to be loved. I have been doing great about going potty outside and I have even started going to the door to let FM know it's time for a potty break.

If you want a sweet little man in you life...then I'M YOUR GUY!!! FM wanted me to let you know that I will be going to the groomer to get my hair did and that she will post new pictures as soon as that's done. Just wait until you see how handsome I am... your gonna fall in love!! Email FM if you have any questions or want to know more!

08/08/2025: Fletcher just arrived in his new foster home. Update on Fletcher coming soon.

Maggie

Maggie is a 10 year old, 10 lb yorkie girl being fostered in Salem, VA.

THANK YOU TO MAGGIE'S RESCUE ANGELS!

Sandy Pagnotta, Logan Davidson, Joel Tobiansky, Joel Tobiansky, Joel Tobiansky

Update 2/2/26

Maggie is an approximately 10-year-old Yorkie currently being fostered in Salem, VA, and shes ready to find her forever home. This sweet girl is the definition of gentle, loving, and calm. Maggie would thrive in a quiet home, ideally with another small dog for companionship. She enjoys being outside with her person and her dog friends, and while she will happily potty outdoors when taken out, she doesnt yet ask to go. Maggie has no teeth and a very sensitive tummy, so she eats prescription wet food to keep her GI system happy. Mealtime is one of her favorite bonding momentsshe especially loves being spoon-fed! Shes not interested in toys or balls. Instead, Maggies favorite pastime is snuggling on the couch or curling up in bed with her human, where she sleeps soundly all night. Shes a true lap dog who simply wants to be wherever her favorite person is. Maggie can be a little sensitive to loud sounds and busy activity, so slow introductions to new things help her feel safe and confident. She would do best in a calm, peaceful homeperhaps with a retired person or a quiet family who can offer her the gentle routine she loves. If youre looking for a devoted little companion whose greatest joy is being by your side, Maggie may be your perfect match.

Updates Bio 5/27/25

Maggie is a ~10year old yorkie looking for a forever home. She is very happy, loving, and calm. She would do best in a home with another dog her size. She loves to be outside with her human and other dogs in the home. She will potty outside if you take her but does not ask to go outside. She has no teeth and has a very sensitive stomach. She is on prescription dog food in order to keep her GI in good health. Her food is wet so it is easy for her to eat. But she prefers to be spoon fed. She loves to sleep in bed with her human and will sleep all night. She does not play with toys or balls and prefers to snuggle with her human while watching TV. She is the best lap dog and loves to be anywhere her favorite human is. She is somewhat scared of many sounds and/or activities. So introducing her slowly to new things is essential so she will not become fearful. Maggie would do best with a quiet and calm or retired family.

Initial Bio 5/7/25

Maggie just came into rescue. Stay tuned as we get to know her better.
