Our New Families
 | Leyla is settling in just nicely- she really is a very sweet little girl. Thanks for all of your help in moving things along and making this happen. Please forward this on and send our thanks to everyone involved. Joanne and Shannon |
 | Just a note to let you know how Sugar is doing. She has finally settled in and is adjusting very well to her new home. Yukie sits by her bed sometimes when she is up to it. They touch noses and smell each other. Sugar respects Yukie and I think she understands that Yuke is older and lets her eat first when she comes to the the food bowl. She will always sit down when she sees Yukie coming. Sage my granddaughter loves her so much. Sugar likes her too and will always sit with Sage if I am up doing something. Sugar will not sit with anyone else but me any other time. She follows me around everywhere. I should have renamed her Shadow!! Dr. Patrick the vet came to see her the other day and said she is in very good health and commented what a lucky little dog she is to have been adopted by us. That is all for now and thanks a whole bunch for everything. Grace |
 | My name is Ernie - I am 6 yrs old and have been with my forever mom and dad for 3 weeks. It was touch and go for me for the first couple of days because I was very frightened in my new surroundings and very depressed. I had some accidents in the house and I wasn't very nice to my new family. I missed my foster mom and my other Yorkie pals but my new mom and dad were very kind and patient and kept telling me I was a good boy (even when I wasn't), and now I am doing GREAT! I didn't know it at first but my new mom loves me very, very much, and now I know she will keep me safe and loved forever and ever. I am really happy to be with her now and take every opportunity to cuddle on the couch with her. And boy is she happy that I don't have accidents in the house anymore. Mom took me to a groomer even though my hair hadn't grown back in yet. It was all cut off after Animal Control found me wandering around, dirty and scared. Now look at me! I am very handsome and I smell good and I am finally in a happy forever home! |
 | Thank you so very much, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I love Toby so much, he has been such a good boy, still begging for treats which we have to get today. He really is a dream and I love him so much. We slept together last night-- he made me turn my TV off, which I usually leave on all night. He was so adorable sleeping-- he had me hold him like a teddy bear. I loved it. Thank you so much for making me the happiest I have been in a long time. Lisa |
 | It was a pleasure to meet you today. Thank you for Jax - he's such a sweetie! We went to Petsmart this afternoon. He rode well in his bed on the backseat. :) He was great in the store with the kids that approached him, but not so keen with the dogs! He met some birds-which intrigued him greatly (he tried biting the glass to get to the parrot)! He's such a people dog! He's happily sleeping in our bed right now. Any other spot just wouldn't do. Thanks for reaching out and bringing him to us. He seems to be fitting right in! Warm regards - Margaret |
 | Please post this picture to let everyone see how you blessed Kevin, Nancy, Hailee, and Gizmo's lives. Sortie, who is now known as Spanky, has had a few minor pee accidents but is a very loving Yorkie that truly fits well into our family. Hailee our daughter is overjoyed and so thrilled. We will keep updating you. Thank you so much. The Ullrich Family |
 | Kelli is in good hands and is settling in so well. She has found a favorite fuzzy pillow to nap on, too! She enjoys fluffy, comfortable bedding and deserves it. I can't wait to buy her little "girlie" outfits. She has her harness on now and isn't bothered by it in the least. Very healthy appetite I might add, no trauma here, ha ha. Doesn't like the leash too much but will get used to it as it is the best for her walking outside-- she hits the grass and lies down! Yogi devoured his new "Wellness food" and left the Beneful in the dish-- what a guy! He hasn't stopped grooming Kelli whenever she is awake (for some reason he loves cleaning her ears, wierd little guy). She loves the attention from him and makes squeaky sounds. I will be emailing new pics regularly and updating you on her progress. Our daughter, Catherine, loves her! Rushed in from work to spend the next three hours hovering over her, watching her every move. Well, almost time for Kelli and Yogi's bedtime. They both say good night. Talk soon, Maureen and Mike |
 | We are so happy to have Rosco (formerly Slavco) join our family. Our three girls are so excited and have been taking Rosco around the neighborhood,and introducing him to all of their friends. He has been with us for almost two weeks now and he is such a good boy. He loves all the attention he is getting from all of our family, especially playing fetch with all of his new toys. We are so happy we got involved with such a great organization, thanks to Doris and Jason Babat. We also want to thank Gloria for matching us up with Rosco. We truly love him!!! The Derrick Family |
 | Just a note to let you know how happy my new little friend is making me. Only a few weeks, and I can't even imagine not having her wake me up every morning, with such excitement, that it is a great start to my day. She has totally come out of her shell. Her little tail wags on a regular basis now (it was tucked under for the first couple of days!), and she speaks to me when ever she has something to say! (pick me up, take me out, treat please!) She is quite the little talker. LOVES to ride in the car, and she has become a bit of a favorite at Pet Smart! She is learning many commands, ( down, quiet, stay, come) and will be I am sure, quite the good little student with a little more work. She is VERY smart. I am so happy that we found each other, and just wanted you all to know what a great addition she has been to my life! Thanks for everything. Michelle & Little Bits |
 | We have added Preston, formerly Beau, to our beautiful family. Preston has adjusted nicely as if he has always been with us. He is a great, loving and friendly Yorkie. Parker has adjusted to his new big brother (they are 7 months apart). They play all day and even share some toys and food together. They even share the family bed. We are all sleeping very well. We thank you so very much for giving Preston to us. He has brought even more joy into out lives. He is so well behaved and such a match for Parker. We have lots of fun with our big and little nuggets, nicknames for the two, as Preston is slightly bigger. We can't wait until we move into our new home with a fenced-in yard so we can run around and play all day. Thank you, Margaret, Kimberly, Frank, Parker & Preston |
 | Hope you are doing well. Just a note to give you an update on Murray/Naries! He's doing so well, we're proud of his progress and you would be too! We gave him a hair cut today and what a good boy! Just as you said, he stood still - what a gem! This afternoon, we took him for a short ride in the car to the Federal park. There is a nice black top trail and he walked the loop 2 times. He really enjoyed his first road trip. He's napping now! Tomorrow Murray gets a bath and that will be just fine. House-breaking is going extremely well. We take him out every 2 hours and he goes potty. He's still barking in the early am to go outside. We get him from his bed - we go outside and he goes potty. We take him back to his bed and he is quiet until it's time to get up. In time, we are certain this will stop and he will sleep through the entire night. We are so happy to have Murray in our family. He is a beautiful, sweet little Yorkie boy! Take care. Ann, Don, Bennie & Murray Q. |
 | Just to update you, we decided to change Queenie's name to Grace which of course is turning into Gracie. And we think it's so fitting because she has been such a pleasure from day one! She's so sweet and loving, as you know. Tonight I gave her a string bean and amazingly she did eat it. I never had a dog that ate vegetables and you should know that I am a devout natural foods person so she is definitely part of the family. You do such a wonderful service and we so much appreciate it. I will try and send you pictures soon. Teri |
 | I still can't believe how fast everything moved from filling out the application to coming home with a little furbaby! I guess when things are meant to be, they happen as they should. Zsa Zsa is incredible, I feel so lucky that she chose me! She has adapted well, jumping up on the couch and rolling over for a belly rub within minutes of being home. She is very playful and loves any and all attention. She only gave a soft bark when Chris came home to let him know that she was here, but once she saw him and realized he would pet and play with her as well, she fell in love with him too! This little spunk of a girl spends hours playing (with tennis balls, squeaky toys, anything she can get her paws on), but the moment we sit down or go to rest, she is right up there stretched across our lap or cuddled up against us ready for her doggie massage. She spent the whole night cuddled up under my arm and woke up to kisses when the alarm clock went off. She has not had any accidents as of yet, she has been very good at going out for nice long walks where she can explore and get to know the other dogs in the neighborhood. We are head over heels for this little girl and it looks like she feels the same for us. Thank you so much for all your help and to the whole Yorkie Rescue organization, this was a match made in heaven! Michelle and Chris |
 | Hi, I went to Lake Galena today. Saw lots of dogs, kids on bikes and skateboards, and people walking and running. I got there in my new car seat. It was fun looking out the windows. I was a very good girl. Sunday I met Ashley, Kyle, and Amber. They're called something like "grandchildren". They fell in love with me--I think it was instant :) Everyone in this family loves me. They think I'm sooo special and sweet. I'm going to try and attach their pictures (taken with me) and also a picture in my new car seat. Hope you are doing well. Thank you for taking good care of me and finding me a forever home. Love, Rosey "Hi" from Rosey's house, I just had to stop what I'm doing to tell you how much I love Rosey. I can't imagine my life without her. I think I needed her as much as she needed me. Thank you again. Love, Arlene |
 | The dogs are the dearest and sweetest dogs I could imagine. They seem to have adjusted ok and are already in my heart. They have a real core of sweetness. Thanks once again for helping me get the perfect dogs for me. I am so happy I am sure I must be floating. Kathryn |
 | Hi Margaret and John, Just wanted to drop you a line that we are all getting along nicely. Murphy is on the pillow next to me on the couch taking a snooze. Lulu is adjusting to having someone else in the house - she gets better every day! He is such a joy for me and John is thrilled, his best buddy! Will keep you posted. Again thanks to all of you who help these little guys and girls find new homes. All the best! greta |
 | Well, how else do I say it-- success is its own story! Spyke has fit in here as if he has been here forever, and I am not kidding. We are discovering that Spyke is VERY bright-- he "gets it" quickly, and has learned where things are in short order. He lets us know when he wants to go on a walk (a word we must be very careful when uttering, or Spyke gets interested very quickly). What a wonderful wonderful match, thank you so much. |
 | It has been less than a week and we are so very grateful for our new pup! We named him Curran or "Currie," a new ID with a new start at life. He learned his name immediately. He has a wonderful disposition, he's very loving and sweet, and extremely smart. He and Seamus get along great. Seamus is not interested in playing with us anymore. The first night home, Currie stretched out under the covers and slept with only his head out and against my shoulder. He keeps me in his sight at all times. He still gets nervous when we get in the car. I know he is unsure about whether he is moving on once again. I take him out with me often so that he will begin to expect to return home again. The other night, we had a very impressive experience with Currie. Seamus likes to get into my bathroom garbage at bedtime if I haven't put the pail out of reach. Of course, I forgot that evening. After telling Seamus "no!" he still was able to grab a plastic cup and take off into the bedroom to play. Currie looked at me, then headed off to play as well. A minute later, Currie returned with the cup in his mouth and dropped it 2 ft. from my feet. Before I recognized what Currie was doing, Seamus snatched the cup again and ran off. Currie went again to retrieve the cup. Finally, Seamus ripped the cup in half. One more time, Currie went and returned with 1/2 of the cup and dropped it on my feet as if to make sure I finally got the point. And of course, Currie went back and retrieved the other part of the cup! I just love him, and can't imagine what took me so long to find him! Thank you again for all of your help. Alison |
 | Wanted to share a few pics of Oscar, Chopper and Louis. Oscar is center in the attached pics and pretty much the center of attention most of the time! I cant tell you how much joy Oscar has brought to our lives. Since he came, Chopper and Louis are more playful; the three of them have so much fun together. I truly feel blessed to have him as part of our family. Thank you! Kathy |
 | Teddie seems happy and is doing well. He's feisty, loving, and playful. We're still working on house training (he hates the rain and snow!). But he picks up other commands really quickly. You can see in the picture that he's trying to escape Emma's arms--it took about 12 shots to get one with all the animals in the frame. He's afraid of the bunny so he kept trying to run away. Teddie's favorite part of the day seems to be walking Emma to and from school because he gets to greet all the kids. He's like a little mayor, especially with his various sweaters and jackets on. You were right that Teddie is perfect for us. He sleeps with Emma and he is a fierce defender of our home! He's also gotten used to my office at work (and he loves college kids too). I think we all feel that he is a full member of our family now. We are so grateful you matched us with him. Warmly, Beth |
 | We want everyone to know how much we love Lola and what a sweetheart she is. She has acclimated to her new home wonderfully, and she even fell in love with her spoiled rotten brother, Hershey. She doesn't have a bad bone in her little body, she's just a ball of sugar and fur. Nicole and Tom |
 | When I got home from work this afternoon Angel ran to the door to meet me but this time she licked my hand and wagged and wagged her tail. John said she was so cute today and moving around quite a lot. He is now doing all the feeding of her and we think this will make her trust him more. I am seeing great progress in her. She is still very shy and fearful of new people and things but there is progress everyday and she is so cute. She sleeps on the bench at the bottom of the bed for part of the night and then in bed. Some nights she and Teddy are snuggled up there together and it is really cute. She is very much attached to the other dogs. Vicki |
 | I thought I would take a minute to update you on Stone and Greta. We started training yesterday - all three of us have already learned alot. Stone amazed the trainer. I will work with his fear of interacting with others and reward his amazing ability to watch and pay attention to everything the most interesting human in the room is doing. Greta has been with Stone and I for almost 4 weeks now. We have visited a couple vets about her itching and today, we saw a doggie dermatologist. We will keep working on her obvious skin condition to help her feel better...we will keep you posted. We are working on her anxiety issues, which will take some time. But the great news of her abilities are: she learned sit on Inauguration Weekend and today she has performed 'down' 3 times while spending time waiting for the vet..she is doing very well!! We hope you are well and all three of us thank you for what you do that saved their lives!!! Love ya!! Leslie, Stone, Greta |
 | I must take a moment to update you on our little guy, Muri - he's amazing. To believe we've only had him for 7 months is midblowing, considering how far he's come. He loves to follow his brothers around and will get into as much mischief as they allow him to - they still protect him a lot. He's doing great with his potty training, only a few accidents in the house, and the other guys always try to warn us. He's learning to sit, trusting strangers and feeling overall just like part of the family - because he is. Attached is our family photo - incase you can't tell, he's the one in the middle. Blessings Trinita |
 | She was an angel on the ride home and we had a good Sat night and Sunday, she is very good and so quiet, I am used to my Bea and she was very busy and like to bark alot. So having Izzy around is a joy, she had an accident Sunday morning, but that has been it so far. I take he in and out numerous times a day. Today was her first day of me at work so I am anxious to get home to see her. I am taking her this week to the Vet to acquaint them with her and vice versa. I will keep you posted. Thanks for everything. Carole |
 | I think Harlee is settling in just fine. I left them alone today for the first time and the house was OK when I got back. Gone for 2 hours..I often wonder just what is going thru their little minds. He will sit and look out the window - door, whatever, like he expects someone to come.. Or maybe that is just something he enjoys and has always done. We will never know for sure will we. Jenny & Harlee get along fine. That was my prime concern. I would like to have the name and number of your Mother's groomer I haven't made an appointment for the vet yet, will try to do that next week. Have a good day and come see us anytime. On second thought maybe you had better hold off on a visit for awhile. I would like to feel that Harlee feels he belongs here. We can keep in touch by phone. Thanks for agreeing to watch him if I have to be gone overnight. fondly Sue |
 | It is hard to believe that Minnie and Benny have been with us for over two months now. They are very relaxed and behave as they have always been part of our clan. Mocha has accepted them from the beginning, and everyone is getting along fine. Minnie is doing well health-wise. She acts like any active young dog. She is such an endearing dog--her affection is endless. We will take her to our vet in September for a check-up and immunization update. I'll ask the vet about a teeth cleaning regarding her heart condition. Benny is doing well also. He has been laid-back from the beginning, but now he likes to show some affection as well (especially if you rub his chest). He makes the funniest noises when he wants some attention. He seems to identify with my husband. We are planning to attend Yorktober Fest and will bring the yorkies. Hope to see you then! |
 | Casey Jones is one happy little boy. I have settled into my new home and life couldn't be better! My five brothers have helped me learn the routine around here, and I always have a buddy waiting to play with me. Squeaky toys are my favorite and we have lots. Snuggling and hiding under the blankets is great fun. Hey, sometimes a guy needs some solitude, right? I hear Mom and Dad say how much they love me. They tell me I am a sweet little "gentleman" and they feel so lucky that I have come into their lives. Well, I'm the lucky one! Thank you Rescue Me for giving me a second chance and a bright future. |
 | Bindy has been doing fine...Her new brother Teddy can't seem to shake the Kennel cough due to his trachea problems..but he is on medication ...we continue to follow up at the vet. Bindy seems to be fine on strictly Timberwolf Organic food...no problems, working on Potty training..doing well. Bindy is playful and full of energy and likes to explore EVERYTHING..a typical Puppy showing no health issues at all ps...Bindy does not tolerate any dog trying to violate her territory ( the dachshunds next door ) but when they are together without a fence between them..they are all best friends. Warren Katilus |
 | I hope that things are going well for you...Just an update on Clementine...She is progressing so well - coming along wonderfully - she and Luke are playing together now - we have to watch closely, as he can get a little rough sometimes - BUT she is holding her own -especially early in the mornings - it is so cute!!! She is gaining weight and her hair is growing out very well - She is still hesitant with Mike, my husband, but is coming around with him too - LOVES watermelon - when he has that - she is all over him!!!! I will send a picture soon - we are all going on vaction in a couple of weeks - Luke and Clemmy going as well - we'll see how this works!!! - we took them on a picnic on the 4th - with friends - we go jeeping quite a bit in the mountains - we had their car seats in the back seat and they were bouncing right along with us - holding their own!!!!! The only problem we have is if we pass someone on the trails with a big dog - they think they are his size and want to go after them and play-whoa baby! They are becoming a team! Thank you so much for allowing Clemmy to become our own....... |
 | It's been a little over a year since I got him. You should see his coat now. He goes to the groomed every 6/8 weeks & he's a gorgeous blond with the black just under the blond. I can't tell you how happy I am with him. He's just wonderful and you would never know he's 10 years old. He has his forever home. Yvonne |
 | Things are going well. Callaway and Fiki are playing all the time. I think he wants to play more then she does. She is a doll. She has had about 5 accidents in the house. I have not been using the diapers that much I just walk them all the time and praise. She will learn. She is so lovable and sleeps right next to me. She has been swimming in the pool - Not too fond of it though. Kids are over constantly. She is so gentle. She does think she is the size of a giant when she is confronted by things she doesn't like. (Not too fond of the Vacuum) My husband has been so good with her. We were hoping to slowly change her name. I will be talking to a behavior specialist at the vet tomorrow. I hope that is OK with the rescue group. "Fiki" is a bit funny for us. I will let you know. She is a little cuddle muffin. She loves being held and was so good when I had to take care of her paw with wrapping and everything. (she kept licking). We love her so much. She is a bonus to our already great looking family. Thanks for the picture. I think I enjoyed the noises you were making more than the rest of my bunch. Thanks for everything. I will keep in touch. Patti |
 | Just a quick note to let you know how Blazer did when he met our lab. The kids renamed, him, by the way..... Sirius from Harry Potter. We brought him in the house and my husband sat with Rugby. I let Sirius down and he ran right over to Rugby, they smelled each others' noses and that was it. The rest of the night, they walked by each other, touched noses a few times and now run around together outside. We don't plan on leaving them alone together for a while, though. The two cats aren't very fond of him; they've both gone into hiding. He already had an outing to the pet store, was a huge hit and has a shiny new dog tag. He loved riding in the truck on the way home...part of the time with one kid and part with another. He did have a little accident this morning and he peed once inside. We've been walking him frequently and he's gone outside the rest of the time. It will just take us all getting on the same schedule. The kids had him sleep with them last night downstairs, instead of their bedrooms upstairs because they couldn't decide who he should sleep with first. He just made himself right at home. He's the smartest little thing...he'll look at us like he's trying to get our attention and then start walking away. Someone will follow him and he goes to the door to go out....just to play for now...but we're working on having him tell us when he has to go pee. He explored -or tried to - every inch of the house when he got here last night...all three levels and every room. Every once in a while he would go to a sofa, jump up and put his head down like he was resting... about five mins later..off for more exploring. Thanks again for everything. I hope he's as happy with us as we are with him! Regards, Lisa |
 | I just wanted to update you on how Nellie (and Bexley) are doing. We had a good car ride home. Nellie growled a little at Bexley when he got too close to her but it only happened twice. She is such a sweetheart! She will go right up to people and dogs and is so friendly. Bexley and she have gotten into one fight over a bone and my attention, but I put a stop to that quickly. They lay together on the bed and share fairly well. It will take some time but every day it gets better. I think Bexley is jealous that Nellie likes to sit in my lap (we're working on the jealousy ;) We go on walks together and separately so that I can work on training Nellie to walk by me, poop and pee. She is doing so well, and has had only one small accident in the house. She poops and pees on walks and in the yard. She is also learning to sit for treats (she is a fast learner). All this in 3 days! She makes Bexley look like a giant, she is so petite! Thank you so much, Jen, for the wonderful gift that Rescue me has given Bexley and I (and Chad, my boyfriend). Nellie is a joy and we are so happy to have her here. I have attached a photo of Bexley and Nellie laying on the bed. It's a little pixelated because I took it with my phone. Thank you, we'll keep in touch! Theresa |
 | I just wanted to let you know that Olsen is doing great. He slept the whole way home and wanted to play all night with his new family. Dallas doesn't understand why this new play toy is not leaving with someone and he is still getting use to the idea that he has a new brother. Nothing to worry about, Dallas just use to get many naps in and now Olsen wants many play times in instead. Dallas has taken a liken to the dry food you gave me and I was wondering if you could give me the webpage address so I could order more and change Dallas over to the new food. I will keep you up dated. Jim and Jeannine |
 | Dickens is doing great (but I've re-named him to Sammy)...he's happy and active and sticks to me like glue! I've brought him in to work two days in a row and my staff just loves him (I've attached photos of him sleeping and hanging out under my desk). Tomorrow we're going to a pool party/BBQ where there will just be a few people, no children, and no other dogs...although I have to say that he's been friendly with other dogs he's met and with children that have wanted to pet him at PetSmart. The friend throwing the party actually has a small dog (10 lbs.) so her backyard is fenced in, but the dog won't be around, he's with 'grandma' for the week. I'm going to keep him well away from any fireworks displays though since yesterday morning I heard him bark for the first time at a lawn care guy with a leaf blower so I don't think he'll like the noisiness of fireworks. Thursday and Friday I work from home so he'll have company all day (even though it's only me and he may miss the attention he got at my office). I took him to his new Vet earlier this afternoon for a little meet and greet and she said he looks to be in good health (she did take blood though just to run some basic tests). My only concern is that he hasn't eaten much, but the Vet said that's normal until a pet gets used to their new surroundings and could take several days. Wow! I can't believe how much I wrote just now! Hope I didn't bore you, but as you can tell I'm excited to have him around and to tell you all about him...and it's only been three days! I just love this little fellow so much already. Thanks again for your help and OK-ing me for adoption...you helped bring this new little blessing into my life! ~Lara! |
 | I'm writing you to inform you about Boomer, whom I adopted on Jul 1, 2007. Boomer is acclimating himself to city living and is enjoying all that it has to offer. Boomer loves his new chewy vuiton bed and is constantly resting snugly on it. Boomer has made several friends in the neighborhood, a black labrador, Grace and a German Shepherd, Maximus. Boomer loves the company of larger dogs and makes sure to keep them in check. Boomer has made my house a home and I'm grateful to Yorkierescueme.com for uniting us. Sincerely, Ken |
 | Just to let you know Brootus is doing fine. He is so sweet. I got out of the shower this morning and there he is looking up at me! He is eating well. I spoke to his foster mom. She confirmed that he doesn't like loud trucks but likes licking special people's ears. She also said he did not like hair dryers. He hasn't quite figured out that he supposed to pee when he goes out but I am sure with some time he will get the hang of it. He does love long walks as I found out this past weekend. He starts out in his own bed but about 1 in the morning decides it is ok to jump up on the bed. I think you made a very good match. He is already a part of the family. Thanks. Regards, Ed & Brootus |
 | Hershey is a great traveler. Took us four hours to get home and he sat right on the arm rest in the front seat watching all the cars and trucks go buy for part of the journey. Then we stopped for a break, his and ours, and I fed him, let him stretch his legs, and gave him water. I put the beautiful bed you gals made for him on the front seat between me and my grandson, and he curled up and slept most of the way home. When we arrived at 12:15 am we let our Meg outside to relieve herself and brought him in the front door. Meg was tickled pink that we brought this little fur baby home to be her brother. Wanted to play, ran around him, wagged her tail so much I thought she was going to take off. Hershey was a little more reserved, showed his teeth a little gave her a couple of warning snaps when she got too close, but seems to have accepted that he now has to share the lime light with a sister. Of course he slept with us, my husband, Meg and myself, and he is a bit of a bed hog. Went out for a ride with them to drop the grandkids off, and both of them sat in their beds in the front seat with me as good as gold. I am so happy he loves the car because we have a trailer and go camping a lot and he will be going with us. I'm glad Norma gave us the belly band because of course when he got in the house after smelling all the dogs that had lived there before him he began to mark his territory everywhere he went. We correct him as soon as he starts to lift his leg and today I haven't noticed him doing it at all. We are keeping the belly band on him until we can be sure he has stopped. He pretty much follows Meg's cue when it is time to go out in the back yard and hasn't had any accidents. He's made himself very much at home, even went down cellar to investigate, which surprised us because our Meg never goes down stairs. Will keep you posted, thanks for Hershey, we love him and will take good care of him. Linda |
 | Thanks for your nice words! Deuce is really such a good boy. He is doing great. Deuce has only had one pee accident in the house and that was really our fault for not paying attention. Otherwise he has gone outside every time. First thing in the a.m. he does a #1 and a #2! Like clockwork. He slept in the crate very politely the first night, then the second night he was carrying on, we realized he just hated the crate. And since he seemed to know to do his business outside we let him out of the crate and he's been on our bed ever since. I've been using the Belly Band sometimes just as insurance, he has not needed it. I leave him and Crissy in the office together if we go out, and their beds are in there. They both follow me from room to room as I go about my day, right now they are both sleeping on their beds next to the computer here. He has adjusted very well to our routine. I walk them both around the block in the morning and he does well on the leash. He's very playful, but not too crazy! Lots of running in the back yard, he is like a little rabbit hopping, just like Crissy does, it is hilarious. Oh and he burps after every meal, so funny, just this one little burp. Carly and Mark worked on some "Sit" training this evening. All in all, you are right, he is a rare catch! Thanks so much for giving us this great little guy! Lee, Mark, Carly and Gavin |
 | What a perfect fit our newest member of the family is! We have re-named her Tina because my daughter has a good friend Lexi and we wanted Tina to have her own name. The whole family is in love with her and she seems to be adjusting to all of us nicely. She has been doing well with her potty breaks, eating well, getting used to Cassie (our golden ret) and our 2 cats. She loves to sit with us on the sofa or lay in bed with us at night. I will be taking her to the vet next week for her next distemper shot and getting a file started on her there. She is hard to get a good picture of but I hope you like the ones attached. Thanks again and I will stay in touch with you as she grows. Beth |
 | The drive home went really well. TT (renamed "Fuzz") sat inbetween my daughters the whole way. We stopped for fast food and didn't want to leave him in the car, so we ate in the parking lot. He sat between the girls and chewed on a rawhide while we ate. When we got home we decided to introduce him to our golden on the front side walk and then go on a walk together around the neighborhood. It went really well. They actually aren't really paying too much attention to each other. He does seem very curious about our birds and we've had to use the squirt bottle on him. He hasn't had any accidents and slept in his crate from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.. When I took him out in the morning he really didn't want to go in the yard...I had to carry him out and put him in the grass. After that he explored and did his business. Well, he's doing great and really settling in...we're taking them to the Mill this morning to get more dog food. Our other dog loves the "Wellness" food too...who can blame her?? We'll keep in touch! Mike & Stacey |
 | forgot to email you both last Thursday. It was one year ago on that day that we brought Babe home. She has flourished this last year. You would never know that she will be 14 on November 30th. I bought her a leash that extends 16 feet and she loves to prance and run outside. She also runs up and down the stairs with no trouble. She will not jump up on or off anything ; which is a good. I bought here those little doggie steps so she can get up and down on the sofa. We adore her and the only thing negative is that she hates other dogs which prevents me from bringing her to anyone's home that has a dog. I feel bad about that and would take here everywhere with me if she did not make such a fuss. She is great in the car and we have taken her visiting our three kids. Two are in school in Boston, MA and Binghamton, NY and the 3rd lives in Washington. Babe even went on vacation herself for a week in Boston in September when Joe and I went away. (My daughter and her roommates did not want to give her back). Thanks again or sending her to us. I hope she is with us for many more years. Lynn |
 | Suzy will be going to California in November for a short visit and then again for New Years. I think she's doing well. Casey is working at home for a few days to ensure her comfort while I am in travel status. I did learn that Suzy does NOT like children. She has a wonderful disposition with adults, but has VERY little patience with children and snapped at a little girl. I really did not see it coming, and I'm usually pretty good at that after owning dachshunds. Luckily, the youngest person she will regularly see is 17 years old... hardly a child. We're working on the announcements, I'll be sure to send you a picture. Also, I purchased a new harness and leash so I will return the harness and leash you so generously provided. I hope another little yorkie will be able to use them on the way to their new home. Thanks again Jen, I really am so fortunate to have found you and Suzy. |
 | Pudge is great! He's my little buddy. Wake up in the morning with him curled up in the crook of my legs or at my back. He's a real snuggler! Loves everyone. He's very sweet and affectionate tho' he tries to be the boss. That's his little terrier nature coming out. I've had no real problems with him other than tugging at the leash (he's surprisingly strong) which we have since overcome with the help of a trainer, and only one food agression incident with another bigger dog which was quickly averted, but I've had no problems taking things like old bones from him. He also plays soccer. I have a kid's plastic beach ball (about the size of a soccer ball) that he herds around with his front legs, then he whips his head sideways to bounce the ball off a wall, or if you throw the ball at him he bounces it off his nose. I call him 'Pele' Pudge! It's very amusing and he would play until he dropped if I let him. I took him to my vet who said he was a very healthy little dog and had good teeth for a Yorkie. I'm so glad we met that day- my good fortune and his! Thank you for your help in getting us together. Sincerely, Olive |
 | We just wanted to give you an update on Buster. It has been a little over a month since we adopted him and everything has been absolutely wonderful! Buster has fit right in with our family and seems to be extremely happy and content; he has made himself right at home from the very first day! Buster and Shasand absolutely love each other. They play like 23 hours a day! They are always together and you would think that they have been with each other all of their lives. He has a "baby" that he carries around and still loves to play fetch and do his "rollover" trick! Everybody who visits us has just fallen in love with Buster. He still "smiles" all of the time and everybody gets a laugh out of it! He loves to "bounce" (he looks like he is on a trampoline) to look out the front screen door! His behavior has been excellent and the barking is not a problem at all; he only barks when somebody comes to the door. We have been surprised at how calm and easy going that he is especially for a Yorkie that's only a year and a half old! We want to say THANK YOU for placing Buster in our home. He has truly been a blessing to us (including Shasand!) and has helped to ease the pain of losing our other dog several months ago. We absolutely adore and love him so much and can't wait to give him the love and affection that he deserves for the rest of his life! Thanks to you and to Rescue Me for giving us the opportunity to adopt our new best friend! Brian, Tara, Taylor, Shasand, and Buster |
 | Ruby is doing great and is a loving, wonderful, funny puppy. I'm sending some pictures so you can see how she is doing. Ruby and Saxony love rough housing with each other, whether inside or outside. Ruby gives Saxony a good working out each day. Afterwards Ruby loves a nap as you can see by the picture of her crashed on the couch. Ruby loves being held as you will see in the picture where Jim is holding her (Saxony does not like to be held). The picture of them sleeping on our bed was taken during the night and they didn't even flinch when the flash went off. About the only thing Saxony doesn't want to share are her stuffed toys as you can see in the picture where they are both determined to get the gorilla. It is so funny to watch them each pulling, it reminds us of a tug-of-war game. Ruby is getting micro chipped this Thursday and goes back to the vet next week for her ear mite follow-up. We are also having her and Saxony receive the Lyme shot. Please let others know that Ruby is doing terrific and thank all of you for allowing us to adopt her. Take care. Karen KAREN & JIM |
 | Hello everyone. I thought it was time to drop you a line about my new life. It's GREAT! As you can see from my picture, I have a nice warm coat and I also have a raincoat with matching boots! I'm not too sure about the boots, but they do keep my paw pads safe from hot sidewalks and other bad things I might step in. I have two other furry roommates and we all share a really big bed with our people! I have an armpit, my sister gets the back of the knees, and the other sister lines up along side my person's back. It all works just swell, and my person doesn't mind at all that she's complete locked in for the night. My other person moves around a lot, so we stay away from him at night. Thanks so much for finding me such a nice home. I do object to the eye drops I get. My person puts drops in to give me tears and clean my eye and drops to contain an infection that wants to appear from time to time, and then she gives me drops to keep my eye from getting worse. A big box was delivered yesterday full of herbs for me, but they sure taste awful. We all go for "pack" walks in the morning and in the evening. That's my favorite time of the day. We get to sniff and scratch and discover all kinds of other animal tracks. It's a nose delight, and we all get a chance "read" all the new news along the way. We have to get brushed when we get back from our walks, but it always feels so good to get that special touch. Well, I guess that's all the news for now. Keep up the wonderful work for other brothers and sisters less fortunate then me. Gratefully, Sam the Man |
 | Ginny is doing great! She is coming out of her shyness and is blossoming beautifully. We can't believe it is a month today since we adopted her at Yorktoberfest. Ginny and Oscar have become best of friends as they snuggle up to each other. We think Oscar really enjoys having her as a companion. At night both Ginny and Oscar take up residence in our bed and Ginny promptly positions herself right in the middle of my bed before I have a chance to get in. She learned from Oscar how to climb up on the ottoman and into the bed. It is so funny as I try to explain to her that I'll gladly share my bed with her, but she can't have the entire bed to herself. We are still working with her on housetraining since she seems to get the white carpet confused with her piddle pads; both are soft and white to her, but she'll get the hang of it. Thankfully, we only have carpet in a small part of our house. Ginny is so curious about everything. She is discovering a whole new world out there and we are trying to show her and teach her all about it. She is soooo loved by us and we thank you so very much for her. Susan, Gary, and Oscar |
 | Hi my rescue moms, just a little note to say I miss you and to let you know that I am very happy here. I walk on a chain pretty good now but I still have trouble with the potty training issue, but I am working on it. I am not as shy as I was before I know give kisses to mom. Mom said that you should come and visit sometime. Well I have to go now and I really mean I have to go, mom is going to take me outside for a walk and potty. Love you both and miss you. PS I hope you can get the picture of me that we are sending.Love Pudden Jesse |
 | I think you will be surprised at how well she is doing. she goes in and out by herself now. she stays out in the yard by herself I have not tried to put any pressure on her. I've been letting her come around at her own pace. the only time she is reluctant to go out side is if the grass is wet. she doesn't have acidents in the house. I can't believe how long she can hold it. I noticed when it is raining she doesn't drink her water and eats very little. smart dog. I took her out the other night after all that rain and made her stay out till she went,of course I stayed out with her. when she finally did go she must have peed for a whole minute. she really is such a good girl. nothing like my spoiled little brat that ran our house, and us as well. I still do miss her though. she was so cute. and that was a good thing. other wise she would never have gotten away with so much. I think this week I will do a little leash training. she is better if we go slower with her. I can't believe we've had her a month all ready. have a great day, susan & sadie |
 | Thanks to you and John and the work that you do, my family got the best present ever this year. Suzy Q, now called Sofi, is doing very well. She has come a long way from that very shy girl who was frightened by every noise and was scared of being picked up. She has fallen in to her own routine and is the sweetest little girl. Her and Pimpon have become the best of friends and play alot together. Sofi has claimed her spot on the sofa and on the bed and follows my mother around. She does not like to be by herself and looks for company. The funniest thing Sofi likes to do is wait for the other dogs to come in so she can attack them at the door. She runs and plays outside but makes sure to come in first so that she can greet the others! When she joined our family, she weighed just over 6 pounds. She is now at 10 pounds and very active. The vet says that this is a good weight for her and that she is very healthy. She has trick knees but that doesn't stop her. I will be sending you pictures soon. Thanks again, Lisette |
 | Otto, now named Nitro is doing great. Kendall changed his name about a week into his homecoming. LOL He is doing great. His hair is growing back and he finally looks like a sweet little Yorkster. He is as playful as an be. We are still trying to break him of his whining but he is not NEAR as bad as he used to be. I think it is because he knows he is home. Potty training is fine too. Only a few accidents and I think it is because the weather is changing. He doesn't like to go out when it is cold. LOL Kendall has bought him a few "outfits" since Lucy the Pom had so many clothes to wear. So he is dressed in his polo shirt today. LOL He is a quite spiffy lil man. He went in for a check up with my vet when I took Lucy in for her dental and they said he is as healthy as can be. He was quite a hit with all the nurses. I will send you some pics a soon as I get my camera up and running. Thanks for letting me know about the micro shipping. I must have gotten him confused with all the others I was reading about on Petfinder in those weeks while we were looking. Have a good week. Jill, Kendall and Nitro and family! |
 | Just wanted to write and update you on Wyley. He is doing GREAT! About 3 weeks ago, Wyley and Bella started playing, chasing and wrestling eachother and have not stopped since! They have become bffs. Wyley even started bringing back the toys when we throw them (for the longest time he would just chase Bella as she went and got the toys). He has become way more independent and has really come out of his shell in this past month. It is great to know that Bella and Wyley are so happy with eachother!!! They wake up and start jumping on eachother 1st thing every morning now!! I attached some pictures so you can see how much better Wyley is looking. Hope you had a wonderful holiday!! :) Leslie, Jay, Bella and Wyley |
 | Just thought you would enjoy a photo of Missy. She is right a home. Barks just like a Yorkie. She really is well adjusted. She goes to the door or begs like the attached photo when she wants to go outside. She must have been taught a couple tricks by her x owners. She curls up on my lap when she wants to sleep, or if I get down on my knees, she will jump into my arms. She is quite the clown. Paul and Inca |
 | Odie has settled in nicely. He and Gigi have become almost in-separable. They play for hours. Odies training is going well. He already knew sit, stay, come and down. He is learning that big dogs are his friend and he dosen't need to kill them. He still has some work to do in this area, but he is doing well. I have to say the Odie is one of the most well adjusted and behaved dogs I have ever had. He is not very fond of wearing his sweater when the temp drops below 30, but he tolerates it . Blessings Adam and Tomas |
 | Thought you'd enjoy seeing my 12 year old cutie. We are best friends, and her cough has disappeared since her gum surgery !! Yea !! I had her groomed last week, and didn't particularly like her cut.. So, I bought a clipper and want to do it myself.. Will you send me directions for the way you cut the dogs ?? What size combs, and how you do heer face ... Thanks so much... Leslie |
 | Just wanted you to know that Meredith is very pleased with Boudica. We have given her a new name: "Bella". The two of them are together all the time. Bella is still shy, which is expected , and she is getting along well with Ollie. Now that we have Bella, Ollie seems to be a giant in size. I took both dogs to the local dog park on tuesday and they had a good time romping around. Thanks for you help in adopting Bella. Scott |
 | I just wanted to give you an update on Cherry and Bentley. Of course to start with, they are the absolute loves of our lives. They are doing beautifully. THey were to the vet and were absolutely perfect. Just a wellness, get to know me check up. CHerry's stitches were of course removed and all is well. SHe weighed in at 5.0. ANd is as sweet as always. They recieved lyme shots and a new one for "lepto". It was explained to us and since we do have wild life near us, it was recommended. They will go back to the vets in 3 wks for a second check and also the vet will check a feces sample and give up more heart worm meds. We will give them the one you supplied and then they will have a supply to start Dec. Cherry is doing very well with her house breaking. She is so cute and omg, so funny. Ben is, well, we cannot describe what a peach he is. So gentle and gosh, sweet. The one shot for leptso they got had a side effect of sleepiness. Well, Ben wasnt bothered much but Cherry was wiped out from it. Ben would every once in a while go over to her and lick her little face and watch for a movement then lay next to her. So sweet. Ben has gained one lb also. The Dr said about 12lbs for him would be great. Once again, I want to send you our love for allowing these two angels into our lives. They have added such joy and love to our home that it seems they were Always here. I couldnt imagine my life without them. GOd Bless you for all you do for these sweet babies. Jim Barbara, Ben and CHerry |
 | Nicky is turning out to be a real love. He keeps everyone playing and loves the snow. We don’t know weather to nick name him snowball or snow plow. Thought you might get a kick out of seeing some pictures. Sincerely, Steffany & the Pack |
 | I thought I'd send some pictures to you too, since you fostered Romie for a short too. I can tell you he is a fun, happy little dog and his new sisters, my husband, Jon and I adore him. He is very grateful to be here. Its funny how you can just tell. We love him and he worked out well. I'll never forget that in your description of him on the website you said, "he can be a brat if you let me". You're right! I think it had to do with him being caged all the time and never having freedom to run. He doesn't know what to do with himself when he's free in the yard and in the house. His biting skills are still very precise and I've never seen a little dog that can raise his lip as good as Romie can!! ((-; BUT, he has no reason to do that anymore. He trusts us now and is relaxed and happy. He sleeps under the covers with me and is at my side constantly. I am planning on attending the Expo in February. I had spoke briefly to Vickie about joining Yorkie Rescue and helping where I can, but am thinking that I can make more of a commitment to your group when I am retired in the summer of 2008. I will say that if ever there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact me. Again, thank you for allowing me to adopt Romie. We absolutely adore him. See you in February! Annette |
 | Just wanted to let you know how well Pixie is doing. She has now become very attached to me, extremely animated, quite active, really. Maybe the glucosimine and condroiten is helping the arthritis in her spine enough to enliven her. So we are having a good time, though at present she is trying to type to you, too. She is quite interested in the laptop because I am petting it! You did good with this dog. Love, Caroline |
 | Thought I’d send along a holiday picture of the three dogs and me. Cassie is settling in well and the greyhounds have accepted her. She’s managed to get the 11 year old greyhound to play! I definitely think she’s found her forever home! |
 | Thought you might like to see a few recent shots of Woody up at our cabin. He and Tuffy are still great friends and Woody's actually starting to play. He had a very successful playdate with a friend's dogs last week in the park. At first he was scared and growly, but Tuffy told him it was okay to play, even though Tuffy is too old to join him, and Woody ran and ran and ran with the other dogs until I thought he'd drop dead! He LOVES to be outside and moving. He's still a little skittish around new things, but he's coming along slowly but surely. I see your fostering another puppymill boy. I hope he's coming a long. It's sad to see the damage done to these sweeties. . . |
 | Thanks for this inspiring video. I have been wanting to send you a video of us at the beach in July but it is too big to email, even though it was a short one from my digital still camera. I will try to get it on a DVD and send it to your address (Please email back your address). Duffie sure does love the ocean. He jumped in and out of the waves like a nut and we had to pull him out by his leash on a few occasions because we were afraid he would drown himself!! Needless to say, Duffie is doing great. He is playing with toys and does a bit of tug-of-war with us until he freaks himself out then he runs away. He is doing much better about doing his business outside. In fact, if he has to go he will come right up to me or Kylie and do this bark/growl thing. It is very funny. He is still terrified of Nic (our 13 year-old) and goes out of his way to avoid him, and he is still a bit jumpy, but he greets us at the door and we actually see his tail wagging. We love him to pieces. |
 | Happy new year! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. We certainly did, as you will see from these pictures. I wanted not only to email you and update but also share some pictures of Taylor's adventures since he has been with us. He is a perfect fit for our family and we love him so much. We constantly tell each other we are so lucky to have him. He is so good and well behaved and are our friends and family want one just like him as soon as they meet him. We kept his name, Taylor, because we had been so used to calling him that already - ever since we saw his photo on petfinder. He is doing great and I take him everywhere I can, shopping, visiting friends and family and even to work sometimes. He is doing so well that I think all three of us will be attending an obedience class soon - I think he will do great and it will help us all bond even more. Thank you to you and to Rescue Me Yorkie for letting us bring Taylor into our home, family and hearts. Donavan & Galia |
 | Romie is perfect! He acts as if he has been here forever! My guys are fine with him! He slept on my bed with the others all night, and has not had an accident! I am in my office for a short time - plan on spending the rest of the day with him! He is adorable!! Thanks so much. I will be patient for a puppy - I know you will find the right one for me - but I am so glad this little guy came my way! Thanks again for all your great work!!!!! Romie's mom |
 | I just wanted to give you an update on Buddy. I cannot believe that we have only had Buddy for 4 months; it feels like he has always been a part of our family. Buddy is an amazing dog – he listens well, he follows me around the house and he loves to sleep next to me. Buddy has brought so much joy to my life, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to adopt such wonderful dog. Thank you for everything. Joelle and Ed |
 | Just wanted to give you an update on Libby aka Olivia. I don’t know how you do it but you have a “GIFT” of putting dogs and families together that just fit perfectly. Libby is doing well, when we take her out she will do her business, she is still wetting her panties but she is young yet. She runs in the yard like a bullet and plays with her toys, sleeps in her bed and is the bestest little girl. She is a welcomed addition to our family. We are working on her knowing her name and I believe she kind of knows the command sit. She has scoped out the whole house and is very energetic and playful. She travels well and likes to be groomed; oh did I mention she is perfect. Any way I took the long way to say Thanks to you and your organization for the love you give each dog and help them find their fur-ever homes. I will keep in touch and if I can be of help from afar just let me know. |
 | We absolutely ADORE Stitch; and he and Bentley are getting along very well. He just makes us laugh every time we look at him, he is just so cuddly and wonderful. Happy Holidays, Alex |
 | We are so in love with Kayla...this little beauty. (we love her name!) Thank you so much for her and all that you do for these little souls. I still cannot believe the route that she took to get to us. That little girl has been through so much. Ironically, we were in Philly on 11/2-11/3 just about the same time that she was wandering the streets. It has been less than 24 hours, and I have noticed that Kayla calms Minnie down. I have not had 2 dogs together before and am seeking advice from all sources and especially keeping an eye (and a calm hand) on Minnie. So far...very good. Again...thank you for all your love and attention and hard work with these little yorkies. |
 | I just wanted to send you a quick hello and thank you. Sophia is doing great! We all love her so much and she's been a great addition to our family. You WERE right about Sophia, she is right for us! My daughter reminds me often that I almost didn't pick Sophia but am so glad I did. We've enjoyed her so much that we've even discussed a big brother or sister for her. (We're still talking deciding and perhaps you'll hear from me soon!) Thanks again for your help! Ann |
 | Greetings from Milo and Macy! Just wanted to pass on some recent pix of Milo and our recent adoption--Macy. We're all adjusting very well and have settled into a routine. Macy just loves Milo and after a few days of being a wall flower, she is showing her bossy self! She acts just like a woman moving into a man's home--slowly and deliberately taking over! Milo, being an "only" for 6 years, has all the prime real estate in the house staked out. Macy waits for Milo to move and then goes and gets into his spot when he's not looking... if he's sitting where she wants to be, she just nudges him gently until he gets the idea, then turns to kiss him. Watching TV, she curls up on my lap and he's stretched out on my head across the sofa... Milo has dry-eye and I wash his face/eyes twice a day and put meds in. She patiently waits as I do it and then jumps up to have her face/eyes washed too! Macy is very curious and doesn't miss a trick. We're still working on potty issues, but I'm hopeful that she'll soon get the hang of it. If I'm not paying her enough attention, she'll sit beside me and "woof" softly--letting me know it's time for a dog-hug. She has a deeper voice than Milo so they're easy to tell apart. She and Milo are very similar in temperment and she barks only when he barks (even though she doesn't always know why they're barking!). Having 2 dogs is a little harder when it comes to walks when they want to go in different directions and we're working on convincing Macy she's not a sled dog. But 2 dogs are sure 2 times the fun and love. Thanks for your support--we'll keep in touch! Deb Milo & Macy |
 | Gabby is doing wonderful and just like I told Kathy I wanted to let you know how thankful I am for your rescue. We love Gabby so much! Gabby is such a daddy's girl...she sleeps on my husbands side of the bed and its so beautiful to see how my husband loves on her and of course our other two. It took her a little bit to warm up to him but now that she has.....now its all about him. What a trader right?! lol I'm not sure what she's going to do with herself when her daddy leaves...he's being deployed to Iraq this year and will be gone for 1 year. I've attached some pics of Miss Gabby. Isn't she beautiful!!! Glorivette |
 | Chloe has gotten into everyone’s heart here. It will be a week tomorrow and she is starting to get used to everyone coming and going. My son gets up for work at 1;30 am . The first few days she barked like crazy but now the barks are getting less and less. She is getting used to him getting up. When he comes home until he takes his coat and hat off and bends down to her (he is 6ft 6) she goes bananas barking. When she realizes its him and licks and kisses. For a little dog she is a great watch dog. She will let my dad (who is 84) know there is someone she doesn’t know at the door. The territory issues between her and Rusty have finally resolved. He knows what he can’t touch downstairs and he knows what she can’t touch upstairs. So they are pretty good with each other now. My old man Rusty has a kick in his step now with Chloe around. He follows her around and has to inspect everything she does. When we walk together she won’t walk unless he is right there with her. She is very good on the leash. Today we kept her in the house all day because of the cold and snow so she kept missing the newspaper. She was reading it and leaving her butt outside of the paper. I just laughed at her She loves to cuddle and kiss and love giving it all back to her. Wednesday I am having spine and Brain surgery. I am looking forward to coming home and having her snuggling with me in the bed while I recoup. She sleeps with my mom and dad downstairs right in between them. My mother says “she is perfect birth control”. (Like anything is going to happen. She is 72 and he is 84. J) I will send you pictures from the holidays. We have all her outfits planned. My future daughter in law brought her a dress! We love our Chloe! Bye 4 now Lily |
 | Just want to let you know that the Boys are getting along great. They love to chase the squirls in the back yard. Here is a recent picture after their return from the groomer.He still has a little problem with the cats, but getting better. We just love Pepsi, really happy we adopted. Jim & Joanie |
 | Little spike is doing great! He is having some house breaking issues but im starting to wonder if it has to do with his age, considering the vet puts him at 14! Im going to ask when he goes for a recheck in a few weeks. He goes up and down 13 stairs 4 to 5 times a day by himself. The one eye isn't stopping him though he occassionally bumps into or trips over things lol. He is a sweetie although when it comes to dogs his size he shows them barking and snapping. he is in love with large dogs never snaps ever! He is off prescriptive food completely, I have him on wellness core. He aslo gets oil called opticoat to help him gain weight and help his skin and coat. He is also on hip and knee its an herbal pill to help with his arthritis. The first time he saw Dr. when he screamed and tried to bite him, now the little guy is pain free! He gets a lot of outside time, he used to bark too much to take to the barn but i recently learned i can bring him the ring while i lounge my horse and he'll lounge himself chasing the horse in a circle and get his exercise too! Jen |
 | Just wanted to update you on the babies. They are doing great! When I first brought them home they slept all the time, but they have gotten very active (comparatively speaking - they are still old girls), especially Louise. She will often get out of bed and meander around the house, come and find me, sniff me and bump into my leg so I will pet her, and then go find another bed and go back to sleep. When I come home from she is a riot, leaping all over the place and sprinting back and forth. Thelma also sprints - straight to the kitchen. She definately knows she gets fed when I come home. Thelma has become the queen of the house. If she sees me petting Louise, Thelma will come and shove her out of the way and demand pets of her own. It is fortunate that I have two hands. She will also kick Louise off of a particular bed if she decides she wants it (usually by walking on top of her). Fortunately, most of the time she would rather sit on the couch with me. Since Louise does not care much for the couch and has a tendency to plummet off the edge if not watched very carefully, Thelma rules there undisputed. Both girls have been pretty healthy except for the occasional tummy upset. Louise did have some type of skin problem that made her itch, but I think it may have been the shampoo I used when I bathed her. I switched and now she is doing fine. She does have some holes in her gums where her canines were removed that have never closed. The vet things we should consider having surgery to close those holes since food particles can get up into them and from there into the nasal cavity and cause an infection, but I am nervous about putting her under with her heart issues. She is so happy and healthy right now that I hate to take the risk. Thank you for rescuing these little babies and taking care of them for me! There really is no substitute for the love of a rescue dog. |
 | All I can say is I love this dog. Thanks again for helping me work through the adjustment period the first week of Mango-love . Submissive peeing is gone. :) I adore this little creature and feel so blessed. . Happy new year. Peace, Lori and Mango |
 | Snuggly and Huckleberry had a great, although long, trip home yesterday; both slept most of the way. I was very proud of my little group as they were very respectful of Snuggly when she was first introducted to our family. After a little expected sniffing and face licking, they gave her plenty of space to investigate every (and I do mean EVERY! :-) aspect of her new home. She ran all over the house but after just a few minutes away would quickly return to me, and then once again continue her investigation. We all settled in at about 11 PM. She has faithfully used the wee wee pads without any coaxing whatsover - what a bright little girl! Carole, I am so amazed and proud of her - she seems so calm and happy. I am sure that all of the people she came in contact with through RescueMe (especially Jen and Jeanette) have had much to do with healing and nurturing her sweet spirit. I hope she can feel the love and acceptance we have for her here in her new "forever home". Thank you for the photos you sent - we will treasure them! Bless all of you at RescueMe and all of the little ones you do so much for. Please know that you are in our prayers and we will continue to remember the wonderful work you do. Thank all of you so much! Warmest Regards, Kenny, Sharon Nicole, Libby, Huckleberry, Mimi and Snuggly, too! |
 | Bella is adjusting fine. She even barks (no thanks to Misty's habit) when I come home. She is adjusting well to the change over in food. She sleeps with Misty and me and loves to be covered with part of the blanket. Both dogs hate the snow. I had her to my vet on Wednesday. She couldn't believe how spunky this little dog is. All the girls in the office had to hold her. We stopped the eye drops to get her off the decadron. Decadron can help cure some things but can also suppress the immune system. This can lead to infections in other places. Her right eye is still a little cloudy and the vet let me see this. She may be developing a cataract in this eye and we are just going to watch it for now. She is truly loved by many people! Thanks, Brenda |
 | Shelby, now named Marley, is doing great. He has put on a little weight and gets along great with Nikko. He is just the right fit for our family. Maybe we will try to swing by the expo this weekend. Anyway, when I get the chance, I will have to reciprocate and send you a picture of Marley and the rest of the family. Thanks again. Donna |
 | She's a gem and winning the hearts of everyone that meets her. I've never had a better behaved dog although she gave me a bit of a scare this morning. I let her go out to piddle in the back as I watched her but I didn't see there was a rabbit in the bushes. She ran after it and I was finally able to catch her so that's the last time she goes anywhere without a leash. Hope all is well with you too! Dolores |
 | I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how life is going with James. I brought James home in January and his eye has healed wonderfully. We took some pet training classes together which really helped build his self esteem and confidence. James has become a little more playful but still has no interest in toys no matter what kind I buy him. He has also become more social and seems less afraid of strangers and even has been able to spend time with other dogs however he still occasionally snaps at other dogs when they get to close. Having James has greatly improved my life and we love to do everything we can together, we may even try bring home a brother or sister someday if James is okay with sharing his home and mommy. Thank you, Justine |
 | I just had to take a minute and write to thank you and all the wonderful foster parents who provide for Yorkies when they have lost their homes. It has been a year since Bruce walked into my life. I am so grateful. He is such a loving, smart little guy. He brings such joy into my home. I hope your year has been a good one and the new one will be even better. Again thank you for bringing Bruce, Buddy and me together. Sincerely, Sandy |
 | Nikki is doing just great. She is one of the family and is loved by everyone in the neighborhood. We got her Lyme Disease Vaccination completed. Her next big adventure will be going to the groomer. She doesn't seem to need a trim as often as Maxx did. She certainly is a terrier and loves to go after squirrels. Our neighborhood has plenty off them. We are certainly glad you brought her along that day and we are glad we chose to keep her. If you are in Shippensburg someday stop by and visit . Ken and Linda |
 | We just love this little girl, she is so lovable. Buddy and Sofie got along great. They had so much fun playing at Carole house, then they came home and took a nap because they were beat. Sofie just came in like she has lived here for years, she seemed to know where everything was the moment she walked in the door. Buddy and Sofie are sleeping on the couch, there have even been a few times where Sofie has placed her head on Buddy's legs...so cute:) I think they will be a great pair. Thank you so much for brining this bundle of joy into my life. I thought once we adopted Buddy life could not have gotten any better, but this little girl has given our family some much joy already. I cannot thank you enough for matching us with Sofie. Thanks- Joelle, Ed, Buddy and Sofie |
 | It was great meeting you. Rusty is turning out fine. He does have allot of energy but he seems to be adjusting fine. We correct him from jumping on the sofa some times, but hes got the idea pretty much . He likes laying at the top of the steps, and watch everything going on. He really pretty good dog. The pennies do work also, I used them on my dogs early in their training. I will keep you update every so often on his good or otherwise behaviors. He likes the walking and follows my wife around the house all day. tomorrow is his first day alone for six hours, he should do fine since he goes in the crate even on his own laying in the day. Well again thanks and have a good week. I will tell rusty hello for you. |
 | Thank you for asking! Maggie has been here her entire life... at least that's how she acts... lol... She is the sweetest most well mannered little doll. Mitzi and her are going along really well after an initial little growling and a bit of jealousy on Mitzi's side. Maggie enjoys the big back yard and chases the neighbors cat on her occasional visits. She is pure fun to walk with and we go 2 or 3 times a day. Mitzi can't keep up with her so she goes in her PoochPouch after a while. They don't play together yet but that's probably b/c Mitzi doesn't play a lot anymore in the first place. Maggie gives out kisses, LOTS OF KISSES and becomes more and more a lab doggie. The only thing is she doesn't offer her tummy for rubs yet but I guess that's just a matter of time. AND... she is MY baby, a real velcro baby, following me around wherever I go. She got the stairs thingy down and just runs up and down. I only have to carry her the few steps down to our back door b/c they are not carpeted. You should see us... I have to carry 2 doggies and need one hand to open the door, so I 'stack' Mitzi and Maggie over each other in one arm... lol...All in all we feel blessed having Maggie in our life and we can't thank you enough for making that happen! Kudos to you and all you do for those unfortunate little babies! Sonja and the M&Ms... (Mitzi and Maggie) |
 | Just wanted to send you this pix of Barnsie and me on our vacation in Lavallette, NJ jersey shore this July. Barnsie is healthy, happy, and bringing Michael and I joy and giggles every day. He is fearless (and sometimes reckless), but full of fun, life, and silliness. He is a perfect fit for our home, and makes us laugh everyday. I hope and wish many more of your special puppies find their way home through you. Best, Beverly |
 | I can't believe the transformation in just 48 hours. We've gone from growling and snapping (at me and Keegan...not Ed, of course) to tail wagging, playing, sharing toys, jumping on my lap and jumping into bed with us. Its incredible. We go for lots of walks (I live in a townhouse development with lots of neighbors...2 legged and 4) and Preston is an absolute gem with everyone and everything. My neighbors (young and old), not knowing his background, have gotten down on the ground and hugged him and played with him, he was even kissing one of them. I'm taking him to meet our vet later this afternoon, she can't wait to meet him. I will keep you posted on our progress, I know how concerned you are. I'm attaching a couple pictures for you. Thank you, again, for everything. You did a wonderful job with Preston and I am so grateful. I am falling in love with him!!! Take care. T.C. |
 | It's been 6 months since we brought Jaden home. He is doing well, he had some chewing issues, he has nibbled on the legs of all of my furniture! He also still lifts his leg on things from time to time but has gotten much better. The biggest thing with him is that he does not like to be alone. He especially does not like when Bailey is out walking and he is waiting for his turn, he cries until she come back. He follows me everywhere and when I sit down he comes and sits on my lap. I can't tell you how much we all love him, he has made himself right at home and he and Bailey get along like they were born together. I have sent you some new photos of him and a couple of them together. Thanks again for letting us adopt him, I wouldn't trade him for any dog in the world. Lynne |
 | Just a note to let you know how Scoobi is doing. He had a nice Easter. His basket contained greenies for doggie dental care, which he loves. He eats well for me -, cooked chicken, dogfood for seniors, and royal canin for yorkies. We switch it around a little. He loves walks. He has stopped chewing his feet and he continues to go out for all his poops. He is a good boy. I looked at the website and some of the stories were so sad. Iam sure I could never do what you all do. May the Lord help you find good homes for your dogs. Brenda and Scoobi |
 | Little Man Taco has won our hearts! This little guy has fit right in with our pack and, in his own mind, he is the boss! He enjoys being perched upon his "throne" (snuggle ball) , and will bark at any dog who dares to get too close :) Such a macho man! Taco enjoys being held and will even share a lap with Willie. He is independent and bold, and so very handsome strutting around the yard with his wagging tail held high! Can you tell how much we love him ? Thanks for bringing this precious babydoll into our lives. He is a gem. Margaret and John |
 | I am madly in love with this dog. I renamed him Bailey and he is absolutely adorable and full of mischief. He is well housebroken, although I keep the diaper on him temporarily. He is really funny and much attached to me. He loves to walk. In fact too much he loves to go outside and can spend an hour walking his little tail off. I am crating him when I’m away since he’s already stolen by underwear, socks, pulled down the towel and even makes it on top of the kitchen table and counter. He has stolen the oven mitts and a napkin. He is well disciplined for some of these actions but I must admit he totally cracks me up. He thinks he is a German shepherd. I picked a winner. I knew it the minute I saw his picture. He was the great hit of my dinner party on Saturday and well behaved. He stole everyone’s heart. When my company arrived he was hiding behind me. The poor little guy thought someone else was coming to take him away. We went shopping at Petco and he has a beautiful new jacket that says Playboy. |
 | Thanks for letting us adopt Izzie. She has been wonderful. The ride home from your parent's house was fine she stayed on my lap the whole way home. We have been working on the house training. She is doing good. Can't believe it has only been 2 weeks feels like she has been with us for a long time. We take her with us to our son soccer practices and games. She just loves to play with the ball but, it is almost as big as her. She just sits on my lap while the game is played. Every night we take her for a evening walk she just loves that. At night time she curls up on the couch with one of us. We just love having her in our family, she is alot of fun. When I get some pictures I will email them to you. Jen keep up the great work with the rescue it is a wonderful program. This is the only way we will ever get another dog. Thanks, Sharon, Kevin, Skylar and of course Izzie |
 | The kids are doing great. (see attached photos) I'm still working with Annie on housebreaking but she manages to sneak off to the darnedest places to have a "poop"! This morning it's pouring here so they are snuggled up on the sofa having a nap. (They were sleeping, but the minute they hear the camera, they open their eyes. Annie is a real ham and Miko just gives me that "not again" look! Annie has to have a pillow to nap on buy Miko prefers cuddling against the sofa arm. They are getting along very well. Annie is a piggy for my attention, and jumps all over Miko when I pet him. He's taking it like the gentlemen he is. They both love going to get Rory and when the three of them are together, it's the only time I can get Annie to walk on the leash at all. I was thinking of getting a stroller for her for long walks. What do you think? Will it discourage her for walking on the leash at all? Or perhaps is she just a dog who would prefer to be carried? She is walking about the yard with Miko without a leash. I stand at the end of the yard where it is not fenced in and they both know not to walk past me. In other words, they are angels! Don't know what I did before they came along!! That's it for now and thanks again for letting me have these two little angels!! Wish you could see them now! They are both fast asleep and cuddled so far under their blankies that only their ears are showing. Fondly, Kate |
 | Hi Jen, Just a note to let you know that our little girl is home safe and sound and is adjusting to her forever home just fine. The girls don't seem to mine their new sister and have been treating her as if she has been here all along. Zuzu has really taken to Betsy and won't let her out of her sight. She isn't too crazy about her medicine but if I take some cheese and shape it into a bowl and put her medicine in it she takes it like it was candy. She is not to sure about doggie cookies, she just nibbles it a little bit them drops it and the other dogs grab it. So they all hang around her when I give out cookies hoping to get an extra one when she drops hers. She is eating the new dog food all |
