Welcome, I hope you enjoy seeing these wonderful little dogs that are looking for a good home. If you find a listing that you are interested in, please fill out a "Rescue Home Application" and press send.

To rescue a Yorkie, a minimum donation to Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue is required based upon on the age and condition of the dog and medical expenses incurred (beginning at $150) plus a $25 fee for Microchipping. Each dog is Microchipped before going to it's new home. Read about our Microchip Policy here.

Most Yorkies are adopted within their home states. If you are interested in a Yorkie that is not in your home state, you may still send an inquiry, however, every effort is first made to place the dogs locally, however in some circumstances we do allow the adopted families to come pick the dogs from their foster home.

We tend to have more people willing to rescue our Yorkies than we have dogs available. While this may mean that you may have to wait a considerable amount of time before a rescue becomes available, it is the best possible situation for our Yorkies needing new "forever" homes.

Not all dogs get a chance to get their photo on the web page. So just because you don't see your state on the page, does not mean there isn't a dog for you. You must fill out the form to be put on the waiting list, and someone in your area will contact you.

If you have a Yorkie needing a rescue, please fill out the form listed below.
Thank you

You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Truman 6/26/09 Meet Truman who is a handsome 8 month old 7 lb bundle of joy. He came in very sick with a single shunt that has been repaired and he is ready for adoption. He is neutered and UTD on his shots and has a personality to die for. He loves everyone and gets along well with his foster brothers and sisters. He is very playful and always has a toy in his mouth. Truman will do well with another pup and older children as he loves to play fetch. He has a beautiful silky coat and fully potty trained to go outdoors.Truman cannot be crated and he would do best with a stay at home parent. If you think Truman is your forever lovebug, please put his name on your application. $1200 adoption fee. If you can make a donation to help cover the cost of his liver shunt surgery it will help us be able to continue helping adorable little dogs like Truman who would otherwise die. Thanks Any donations to help with medical treatment is greatly appreciated!
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	4/9/09 Teagan is 4 ½ months old and weighs 2.9 pounds. Teagan needs spinal surgery so he can walk again. At 2 months of age a very large dog stepped on him; now he has no use of his front and back legs. If you can make a donation to help pay for the spur on his vertebrae to be moved off of the nerve this little baby may recover. Any donations to help with medical treatment is greatly appreciated!
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Ella Missouri 3/24/09 These dogs are part of a nationally publicized puppy mill raid, and were turned over to YTNR by the rescuing agency for special handling and adoption procedure. Applicants for these dogs will need to provide references and allow for a home visit prior to consideration for adoption. My name s Carmella Marie Carmalitti, but they call me "Ella". I am what is called a "Puppy Mill" dog. My life now is very different from the life I had. And it is so much better! They tell me that I am about 3 Years Old, and my Foster Mother tells me that I am one of Gods Special Gifts. My Packaging is not perfect, but Mommy tells me that what is important is what is inside! Because of the conditions I was forced to live in, and because of the neglect, I have had to have my back leg amputated. And I have very few teeth left in my mouth, but oh can I run!! I run up stairs, up and down Hills, over grass! I am thin, I weigh all of about 6 lbs., and losing one leg has not affected my agility one bit! I enjoy a good meal too! Chicken and rice are one of my favorites. I have learned that when you are loves, Life is so much better! Like when your cold, there is a sweater for you, when you are lonely, loving arms will embrace you and speak quietly to you. I have learned that it is ok to have your very own bed and bowl and that you don't have to worry about your next meal when you are loved. Because of the conditions I lived in for most of my life, I am very alert to all noises and they are all very frightening to me, even the wind makes me anxious. My foster Mommies are very patient and soothe me when I show signs of fear. They are working on my Potty Training too. I don't like and don't want to go potty in my "Condo Complex", so I am working hard to hold it and go outside in the grass. I hope that a loving and gentle person will feel the need to share their lives with me. I would be a wonderful companion for an older adult who lived and needs a quiet life. Someone who enjoys sitting with a sweet angel on their lap, who wants to feel warm, loved and secure. If you know of someone who I would adore and who would adore me, Please let us know! thanks for your interest and concern. Carmella Marie Carmalitti (Angel in waiting) Adoption donation $300 includes microchip. Any donations to help with medical treatment is greatly appreciated!
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Lilly Missouri 3/24/09 These dogs are part of a nationally publicized puppy mill raid, and were turned over to YTNR by the rescuing agency for special handling and adoption procedure. Applicants for these dogs will need to provide references and allow for a home visit prior to consideration for adoption. Lilly is a 7 year old, tiny about 3 lbs she has only 2 teeth, and an old fracture to her right front leg that has healed crooked due to lack of medical attention from her previous owners. As a result, she hops on 3 legs, but gets where she wants to go! Lilly needs to be with her new people most of the time so we are looking for someone who is home most of the time – she cries, and claws at her crate if left alone. She will hobble behind just to stay with you, and loves to be carried so that she is with you at all times. Lilly wears a little dress or a coat all of the time – and doesn’t mind it at all – she feels pretty. As a result of having just 2 teeth, she will require ground food, and loves to be fed with a plastic fork! Lilly will do best in a home with another small dog and an owner that is able to be with her most of the time. Mill dogs are not housetrained - but she is using the puppy pads well. This little girl has much love to give, and her eyes tell the story of big heart she has in this tiny body. Please give her the chance to love you. If you would like to adopt Lilly put her name on your application. Adoption donation $300 includes microchip. Any donations to help with medical treatment is greatly appreciated!
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Itty Bitty Southern California PLEASE READ AND IF YOU ARE A MATCH, FILL OUT AN ON-LINE APPLICATION. ONLY APPLICANTS WHO WE BELIEVE WOULD BE THE RIGHT HOME FOR ITTY BITTY WILL BE CONTACTED. THANK YOU. Update 2/8/09: Itty Bitty has been diagnosed with renal dysplasia and protein losing nephropathy (PLN). She is on a special diet and needs medication daily. Her condition must be monitored with blood and urine tests every 3 to 6 months to make sure she is receiving the proper treatment. Her life expectancy is unknown, but shorter than anyone would like, but just how short is anyone’s guess. At this time she is happy, active and does not act sick at all. There is no cure for her condition, so it needs to be managed with diet and medication to slow down the deterioration of her kidneys. Itty Bitty is looking for a home where she will receive the love and care she needs for the rest of her days. She loves other dogs and would be happy to have a four-legged sibling close in size and activity level. She enjoys playing with lots of toys and running around in the yard. Because of her size and needs, she will not go to a home with children and she will need a yard because she loves the outdoors. She will also not be adopted outside of California (preferably Southern California). Adoption donation to help offset her medical costs is $525 (microchip included). 1/26/09 This is Itty Bitty; a 1 ½ year old Maltese. She is 4 pounds when wet and just the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. She is a breeder surrender, but she was never bred or sold due to her medical condition. Itty Bitty will be a special needs little girl and will require diet and medication, probably for the rest of her life. At this point, we are still evaluating her and she will soon be going to the vet for an exam to find out more about her condition. She is not yet ready for adoption. When she does become available, she will be more specific about her special needs as determined by the vet. However, in the meantime, if you would like to sponsor Itty Bitty, all donations are welcome. Thank you.
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Ellie Tennessee 12/15/08 Look at this adorable little girl she was a very sick little girl when she came in and she had a liver shunt. YTNR took her to UT for her surgery and she is now just about ready for adoption. Her vet bills have been in excess of $2000. In order to keep helping these little ones that come in needing so much medical attention and considering her age we are going to set her adoption fee at $2000. She has been spayed has had all of her shots and is a very playful little imp.
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Sasha Indiana 2/12/2009 UPDATE: I am happy to report Sasha has had her Leg Perthes surgery and is doing very well. We are doing now doing therapy with her leg. Sasha is the sweetest most adorable puppy you could ever hope to have. Her baby doll face just captures your heart. 12/15/08 Look at this beautiful little girl her name is Sasha she is 8 months old and weighs 5 pounds. Sasha needs surgery and is not ready for adoption, but if you would like to be considered for her adoption please fill out an application and put her name on the application. Will update after she has her surgery.
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Jake Northern California 12/10/08 update This is Jake. Jake is recovering from a very extensive surgery from being hit by a car and left for dead with a CRUSHED pelvis. But he is a trooper and is coming along well. He is 6 months old and will soon be looking for his new forever home. Jake’s foster mom is working very hard at his rehab so that he can be good as new and find a wonderful home. Any donations to help replenish money spent on his medical costs would help greatly. Thanks.
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Frankie Southern California 10/6/08 update Frankie has had to return to the vet two more times since initially writing about him for two more surgeries. The foxtails just keep coming out and infection keeps setting in. Hopefully this beautiful little boy will be all done now and he can truly begin to recuperate. 9/17/2008 This is Frankie. Poor little Frankie is a very sad story…we rescued him from a shelter that had him for a week and did nothing for his injuries. Frankie had foxtails underneath his skin in several areas on his body. They were so embedded and infected that they abscessed and the length of the one looks like a large cut, but it was a foxtail…needless to say, he looks like Frankenstein, thus, the name Frankie! But when Frankie’s hair grows back, he will break all of the girls’ hearts because he is a cutie! We are putting his shelter photo so you can see that he is an adorable little boy. Frankie is estimated to be 1 year old and you would never know that he has any injuries at all. He still runs and jumps and plays and is a happy little boy. Frankie weighs about 10 pounds, he is neutered, up to date on his shots and microchipped. While Frankie is recuperating, we are asking for donations for his surgery. Anything that you can give will help replenish our medical fund. If you would like to meet Frankie, put his name on your application. Frankie’s adoption donation is $600 (microchip included).

You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Mini Update on Mini 3/25/2009 Mini has been Adopted!!! Mini is a special needs Yorkie. She is 2 years old and weighs 9 pounds. We sent her to UT for liver shunt surgery but they found that she has MVD and multiple shunts. She will need to stay on her special diet, lactulose and milk thistle for the rest of her life. We are learning that dogs with this problem can live a fairly normal life as long as they stay within the guidelines of diet and exercise.
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Max Update on Max! Max was ADOPTED 6/22/2008 4/28/2008 This is Max and he will be undergoing legg perthes surgery in both legs and recovering from the surgeries over the next two months. If you would like to help sponsor some of Max’ surgery cost, he would be most appreciative and it is tax deductible!! He is a 13 month old little boy that was purchased from a pet store, aka; a PUPPY MILL! This is what you get when you buy these beautiful little dogs from pet stores!! Stop the cycle PLEASE!!
You may donate money here to help replenish funds for future emergency treatments:	Louie 3/5/2008 Louie has had to undergo a myriad of tests which have been costly. The good news is that there are no known serious issues. If you can help with the medical expenses, we would appreciate your donation. Thank you for your help!

Adoption donation is $200	Buddy This is Buddy. He is a senior boy of around 10+ years old and he weighs 9.5 pounds. Buddy is a very sweet little boy and he is even potty trained. He listens well, he is protective and he is a good watch dog. He enjoys taking short walks. Buddy will not go to a home with small children for several reasons, but he is possessive of toys and that would not be good with kids. He would do well in a home with a stay at home mom/dad and at least a doggy door to keep him potty trained. If mom/dad work, he will need another little dog to hang out with. He would do well with a senior person who likes to take short walks and lie around and watch TV. He loves being with his human. He is neutered, up to date on his shots and microchipped. If you are interested in giving a loving home, his adoption donation is $200 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
South Lake Tahoe, CA
Adoption donation is $225	Bailey This is Bailey. Bailey was surrendered by his dad because of a lifestyle change. He loves to be cuddled and sit in your lap or near you. He is temperamental around other dogs until he gets to know them. He is housebroken and minds well. Bailey is on Phenobarbital and since being on these very inexpensive medication, he has not had any seizures. Bailey weighs about 8 pounds, he is 9 years old, up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped. Bailey is looking for a calm home that he can hang out with his humans. He would do great with an older person or couple. Bailey does not like kids so he needs to go to a home without children. If you can give Bailey a chance and a loving home for the second half of his life, put his name on your application. Adoption donation is $225 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!

Adoption donation $650	Coco Coco is a happy, smart, playful puppy. He is 9 months old and weighs about 9 pounds. Despite being so young, he is already potty trained (both with pee pads and outdoors) and walks well on leash. Coco is neutered, up to date on his shots and microchipped. He loves everyone, dogs and people alike. He is looking for a home where he will get lots of attention and exercise. It would be nice if he can have a doggie friend as playful as he is, too. Coco jumps pretty high so a secure yard is a must. No children. Adoption donation is $650 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation $125	Lucky 6/6/09 UPDATE: Lucky went to the vet for an exam and we were told that his neurologic symptoms are all gone. It appears to have just been a case of old dog vestibular syndrome, which is a temporary condition that doesn’t require medication. Now that it’s gone, he’s just a normal little boy. He also got his teeth cleaned so he’s all set to go to his forever home. Lucky is a tiny senior who was turned in as a stray at the shelter. He weighs 3 pounds and is estimated to be 10+ years old. He is showing some neurologic symptoms, but we’re not sure of the reason. We are currently evaluating him to see if his condition is temporary or if it can be managed with medication. We will update his profile as soon as we know more. Despite all that he’s been through, he is a happy little guy who doesn’t act his age. He enjoys roaming the yard and loves to snuggle next to people on the couch. He is also “in love” with his 4-legged foster sis. Whenever she is near him his little tail wags so fast that it’s a miracle he doesn’t start flying. Lucky is looking for a quiet home where he can get lots of belly rubs and kisses and a backyard so he can continue to explore. Due to his age and size, he will not go to a home with children. Adoption donation is $125 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $225	Whiskey This is Whiskey. He is a beautiful 10 year old Silky boy. He is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped and has had a dental. Whiskey was rescued from a high kill shelter and was terribly matted, dirty, tick ridden and very frightened. The first few days were a challenge for everyone and the final insult to him was the bath and groom. His fur had covered his eyes and ears and we wondered if he was hard of hearing or sight impaired. When his beauty treatment was complete, he was transformed!! Big brown, soulful eyes, silver blonde flowing locks and a confident, proud prance. We think Whiskey was transformed to a fine champagne. Perhaps his forever home will find a name to fit his real personality. He has gentled out and seeks affection. This older gent doesn’t act his age and has years ahead of him. He has earned a loving home that appreciates what it took to get him there. Whiskey would do best in a quiet home and does not need another dog, but is looking for a lap to sit on and someone who can spend time with him. He loves affection and attention from his human, being held and he loves his walks and looks forward to them! He walks well on a leash now. The vet and the groomer believe that he once had a loving home and was well taken care of. He is sturdy and in very good condition. If you can give Whiskey the kind of home that he seeks, name him on your application. His adoption donation is $225 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $350	Cowboy Cowboy is a beautiful 4 year old Silky Terrier who at 12 pounds, easily “Cowboys Up” and walks the weekly farmers’ market on leash. Crowds and noise don’t faze him. Stop at an outdoor café and he will lie beside you while you eat, happily accepting praise from all the passers-by. But if you’re a little more protective, he’s not too proud to ride along in a stroller or a puppy sling. Cowboy is happy to be at home as well. He loves to cuddle on a lap, or just lie on the couch or in a puppy bed. He is doggy door trained or can be taken outside at regular intervals to “do his business.” He travels with his foster mom to work where he enjoys hanging out. Travel can be an issue for Cowboy. Short car rides where he can see out of the window are best. Cowboy would prefer to be your only dog, but will share your love with other female dogs. He needs to be the only man of the house when it comes to other animals. Cowboy needs to go to a home where he will have company during the day; he does not like being left home alone. He will adjust once he feels safe and secure, but leaving him makes him very sad. If you are looking for a close companion for everything from outdoor adventures to lazy weekends at home, you might just want some Cowboy love. Cowboy would do best in a more calm home without young children running about since he would prefer getting the majority of your love and attention. Adoption donation is $350 (microchip included).

Adoption donation is $150	Sampson This is Sampson. Sampson caused quite a stir when he came into our rescue…he ended up in a shelter and to make a long story short, he got the attention of many “town-folk” and everyone wanted to help him. Little Sampson is said to be 14 years old, but his foster mom doesn’t believe it, but she is probably biased…she says he acts much younger than 14. He is active, runs and plays and probably just very happy to be out of the shelter and finally getting some long needed medical attention! Sampson has been neglected for so long that he has literally lost all of his hair on his body, but we are counting on getting him on a diet of good food and under the care of a vet that it will grow back in time. He is sweet and he certainly deserves to finally live like the king that he is meant to be. Sampson is up to date on his shots, neutered, just had a dental and got some other cosmetic surgery done that will ultimately help this little boy feel better and live longer! There were some good Samaritans who heard about Sampson and donated money to help him get the much-needed care and he appreciates that so much! Sampson is looking for a home where his routine medical needs will be met for the remainder of his life, someone to hang out with and maybe cuddle on the sofa and watch Animal Planet together. A senior home would sure be good for Sampson…no small children and an enclosed backyard for doing his business. He uses a doggy door at his foster mom’s…donation is $150 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption donation is $200	Trooper This is Trooper. He is a senior boy (around 10 years) that was rescued from a San Diego shelter in such deplorable condition and it is really a shame that our shelters can be so irresponsible. Trooper was turned in by his owner who said that he “bit” her…if you could have seen the condition that he was in, you would have bitten her as well. Because she labeled Trooper a biter, the shelter would not even look at him, nor have the vet check him out. Trooper was so badly matted that he could barely walk. The hair was pulling between his legs that made it so hard to walk and it was very painful for him. He had blood on his back and no one from the shelter even looked at him and tended to any of his issues, not even a pain pill! Trooper is exactly that, a TROOPER! We took him straight to a vet for an exam and got him groomed. He is the sweetest little boy and is so grateful that he found someone who cared enough about him to tend to his needs. Trooper is neutered, up to date on his shots and microchipped. He will do fine in a home with a stay at home mom and no other animals, or another mellow dog if mom/dad work. Trooper will need a yard to run around in and someone who will take him for walks and include him in their daily activities. If you are interested in giving this little boy a wonderful home to live out the rest of his life, he will make it worth your while with love, hugs and plenty of sloppy doggy kisses. Adoption donation is $200 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption Donation is $300	Daisy This is Daisy. She is a very sweet 6 year old that was used for breeding and when she no longer had any usefulness, she was thrown outside. Daisy is a little bigger girl and weighs 12 lbs. Daisy is very shy and skittish with new people, but very sweet when she warms up. She wants to be with you constantly, loves to be held and touched, she is starved for attention. She would probably do best with a stay at home mom/dad. She needs a calm home without a lot of activity or people constantly coming and going. Daisy would do better if she had another small dog her age and size for her to follow and learn from since she seems to mimic her foster sibling. However, a very active and/or aggressive dog in the household will not work for her as it makes her cower and afraid. She needs a four-legged friend who is calm and secure so that she can learn from that. Daisy also needs someone who has experience working with abused or neglected dogs. She cannot be crated and she also needs a safe backyard to roam in. She is very smart and is learning everything quickly. She tries very hard to please. She is in the process of being potty trained as well as how to walk on a leash. She is up to date on her shots, spayed and microchipped. If you think you can give Daisy a loving home where she will be loved and safe, name her on your application. For having such little human contact in her past, she is very loveable! Adoption donation is $300 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption Donation is $825	Niknak (12/12/08) Update: After a few months, Niknak has developed into a healthy little Yorkie puppy and does all of the puppy things that he is supposed to do. He is outgoing and affectionate and loves everyone. He loves to play with his foster siblings and tug of war is his favorite pastime next to running and playing chase in the house or in the backyard. Niknak is fully recovered and ready for his new home. He is looking for a home with another young small dog to play with, an enclosed backyard and a family who will spend time with him. Niknak is up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped. Adoption donation is $825 (microchip included). (9/26/08) This is Niknak. A 6 month old Yorkie puppy and he weighs 5 pounds. He is an extremely affectionate little dog. He is adorable and will be even cuter after his hair grows out. He would sit on your shoulder and hug you if he could. His person is his top priority. Niknak tends to be shy with a more outgoing dog, not particularly interested in cats and loves to play tug. Perhaps as he grows more secure he will want to play with other dogs. It seems that he was previously fed people food and it is a challenge to get him to eat dog food, even the best of it. He is slowly getting used to his new healthy diet. Niknak is good on a leash and loves his walks. Niknak is not quite ready for adoption yet as he is currently being treated for ringworm. His family did not want to pay for his treatment so he ended up in a shelter…Niknak will be up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped before he is adopted and this should take place over the next 30 days. Adoption donation is $825 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption Donation is $325	Odie Just want to let all you fine folks who are looking to rescue a furry friend like me, there are some rules us little guys have to let you know about. First, when you take us home, don't try to dress us up and give us hair cuts before you get to know us. We have to be comfortable in your home first and have a chance to settle in and know whether we can trust you or not. It is easy for you, but new homes are very scary to little guys like me. Boy, it can take weeks before I am comfortable around new people and I can't tell you that 'cause you don't understand dog talk so all we can do is bite and growl if we are uncomfortable. I know that doesn't make people very happy, but you have to realize that it is our only defense so when you take me or any rescue dog home for the first time, please think about letting us get to be friends first, haircuts and cute clothes and stuff like that can come later. I really am a nice little guy who would love to be your special guy but please remember to love me first. I have all my shots and my teeth have been cleaned and I am really cute too. I weigh about 7 or 8 pounds now (good living), I love to walk on the leash and I kind of like the car rides too. I have several foster brothers and sisters and we all get along fine even though some of them are cats. I am 6 yrs old and love to play fetch with the squeaky toy and if you throw it, I will find it every time. I am a natural blond and my hair is very soft. I love to take baths and even groomed when I am comfortable. I sure would like to find a nice forever home with someone who would love me back. I'd like a stay at home Mom or Dad, but I can be left alone if it isn't for a long time. I would like to have another friend to play with cause it's kind of lonely when you're all by yourself. If you have kids over the age of 12, I like them too if they don't pull my ears and stuff. I'll be waiting to hear from you soon. Please don’t take too long… Adoption donation is $325 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
Adoption Donation is $250	Moto This is Moto. He is a Yorkie/Doxie mix and he is a bigger boy at around 12 pounds, 3 years old, up to date on his shots, neutered and microchipped. Moto is a playful boy and full of energy. He loves going for walks, loves his belly rubbed and he loves to eat, but he is not fat or overweight. He is basically a very happy dog. He gets along with his 4-legged siblings and loves to play with them as well. Moto is looking for a home that has other doggies that he can play with and a good sized backyard to run and play chase in. He will also need a doggy door. His new home will need to be aware that he will run out an open door and is quicker than you probably are so caution MUST be taken before opening a door where he can get lost or hurt. Moto can go to a home with older kids. If you would like to meet Moto, please ask for him on your application. Adoption donation is $250 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!

Adoption Donation is $325	Joey This is CJ, aka Joey. This is the cutest and smallest little bundle of joy I have ever seen with the biggest attitude in his little step! Joey does not walk or run, he prances like a proud little boy that he is. Joey is going to need a special kind of home with a stay at home mom or dad because he has separation anxiety when he is left alone. When his foster mom comes home, he has a hard time catching his breath. Joey loves to go outside and run around with his foster siblings so he will need some sort of safe backyard to play in. Joey is estimated to be around 6-8 years old. He is neutered, up to date on his shots, microchipped and has recently had a dental. He will need a little four-legged friend his size to play with and no children. Joey is outgoing, friendly and loves to cuddle and give kisses.

Fill out an Application now!
Adoption Donation $450	Koko Meet Koko...she is 1 ½ years old and about 8 lbs. of pure fun. She loves to play so you need to have another dog for her to play with and time to spend throwing her toys and taking her for walks as she needs all of the above as any Yorkie puppy does. She loves to run and can jump quite high so a secure backyard is a must. She is well mannered and house broken to a doggie door, but timid around strangers and terrified of large dogs. She gets very excited when I return home whether I am gone an hour or all day and does tend to nibble or give "love bites" until she calms down.

Adoption Donation $325	Paddington Bear Paddington Bear, or Paddy, as we lovingly call him is a 10 pound 3 year old Yorkie. Paddy is a sweetie and constantly smiles at you (because of his under bite.) He's very much a lapdog and bedmate. Paddy has to wear a special halter, one that he steps into and comes up over his legs and meets over his shoulders right behind the neck because he has a bad habit of chewing halters that cross over his chest where he can reach that section. This type of halter also keeps him from reaching his tags as well, because Paddy has had a bad habit of eating tags and getting them lodged in his stomach. Paddy wants to be your only dog as he gets very jealous of having to share time and space with you with other dogs. Paddy is on a special diet to control his urine PH. Paddy has a condition in which his urine PH levels, if not maintained properly, might develop bladder stones. He doesn't have stones currently and may never get them, but because of this PH problem, without this special diet, stones could possibly form. The special diet is to prevent this from happening. Paddy will make someone very happy because he is very playful, attentive, and sweet. Adoption Donation is $325. includes microchip Fill out an Application now!

MacKenna is completely PeePee Pad trained and although she does go outside, she prefers to use the pad. MacKenna is healthy and will give someone lots of love for many more years. She's quite the character. She's bossy and demanding and you can never quite get her food fixed fast enough to suit her fancy. MacKenna needs a home with a fenced in yard, because she is as fast as grease lightning and doesn't mind taking off on an adventure given the opportunity.

He loves squeak toys and loves to engage you into playing with him with the toys. At night, he likes to cuddle up next to you as long as there are no other dogs competing for his spot. Tyson would be ideal for a single man who needs a loving companion and traveling buddy. He will be loyal and loving to his very own daddy!

He gets along well with other dogs, but doesn't mind putting a dog in his place when challenged or shoving another dog out of the way at meal time. He's quite the pig and you cannot leave food out where he can reach it or that food will soon disappear. He loves to carry his food bowl around and keep it with him in his dog bed during the day. Big Al, as we lovingly call him, needs a permanent home where someone will walk him and give him all the attention he deserves. Adoption Donation $225 includes microchip Fill out an Application now!

Adoption donation is $325	Rupert They call me Rupert - and oddly enough, it fits me very well. I'm a distinguished gentleman, approximately 7 years old and maintain my handsome stature at all of 5 1/2 lbs. I came from a Missouri Puppy Mill, and when another agency pulled me out of that nasty place, they called my foster mom to come and get me. What a wonderful day that was! She has other Yorkies there and we play and run together, sleep in a nice dry bed with all the food we want. We play so hard that we have to take naps because we wear ourselves out - I guess we're trying to make up for all the time we were in cages. The only thing missing is my own permanent home, where someone will call me to sleep in their bed, or stay on the couch with them all evening. I'm a very good boy, very sweet and loving. I don't fight with the other Yorkies, even the males - we all get along. I have lost a few teeth, but still have plenty to allow me to eat regular dog food and treats, and I have no other health issues at all. While I'm not housebroken, I do well on puppy pads. Look at my eyes. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul - and mine are wide open and ready to love you. If you think you can love me back, please put my name on your application.

Adoption donation is $325	Ariel My name is Ariel and although I'm not a Little Mermaid, I'm still very graceful. The vet says I'm about 5 years old and that I weigh about 9 1/2 lbs. My coat is such a beautiful gold that my foster mom says I've been dipped in 18kt gold! If you check out my picture, you'll see that I have a very unusual saddle coat - I'm black & silver & gold & blonde all rolled together so it looks like someone painted places on my back. I was part of a puppy mill raid in Missouri, but I am healthy and smart, and very loving. I'm a little skeptical of people, I watch them and then decide to run to them, jumping on their leg for them to pet me or pick me up. But when someone comes that I don't think should be there, I will bark to protect my foster parents. I play very well with the other foster Yorkies, and I love the outdoors. I'm up and down the basement stairs with no problems, I eat well, love my snacks and can run like the wind. The highlight to my day is sitting on the couch with everyone else in the house. I'm using puppy pads like a champ but not housebroken - they tell me that's pretty typical for a dog that has lived in a cage for most of her life. All I need is a home that is mine - and someone that wants me as bad as I want them. If you think that these big brown eyes have touched your heart, please put my name on the application and I will love you forever.

Adoption donation is $300	Ella These dogs are part of a nationally publicized puppy mill raid, and were turned over to YTNR by the rescuing agency for special handling and adoption procedure. Applicants for these dogs will need to provide references and allow for a home visit prior to consideration for adoption. My name s Carmella Marie Carmalitti, but they call me "Ella". I am what is called a "Puppy Mill" dog. My life now is very different from the life I had. And it is so much better! They tell me that I am about 3 Years Old, and my Foster Mother tells me that I am one of Gods Special Gifts. My Packaging is not perfect, but Mommy tells me that what is important is what is inside! Because of the conditions I was forced to live in, and because of the neglect, I have had to have my back leg amputated. And I have very few teeth left in my mouth, but oh can I run!! I run up stairs, up and down Hills, over grass! I am thin, I weigh all of about 6 lbs., and losing one leg has not affected my agility one bit! I enjoy a good meal too! Chicken and rice are one of my favorites. I have learned that when you are loves, Life is so much better! Like when your cold, there is a sweater for you, when you are lonely, loving arms will embrace you and speak quietly to you. I have learned that it is ok to have your very own bed and bowl and that you don't have to worry about your next meal when you are loved. Because of the conditions I lived in for most of my life, I am very alert to all noises and they are all very frightening to me, even the wind makes me anxious. My foster Mommies are very patient and soothe me when I show signs of fear. They are working on my Potty Training too. I don't like and don't want to go potty in my "Condo Complex", so I am working hard to hold it and go outside in the grass. I hope that a loving and gentle person will feel the need to share their lives with me. I would be a wonderful companion for an older adult who lived and needs a quiet life. Someone who enjoys sitting with a sweet angel on their lap, who wants to feel warm, loved and secure. If you know of someone who I would adore and who would adore me, Please let us know! thanks for your interest and concern.

Adoption donation is $300	Oscar These dogs are part of a nationally publicized puppy mill raid, and were turned over to YTNR by the rescuing agency for special handling and adoption procedure. Applicants for these dogs will need to provide references and allow for a home visit prior to consideration for adoption. Oscar is a very sweet, gentle hearted little man approximately 8 years of age, and weighing in at approximately 5 lbs. He has no teeth - when he came into foster care, he was extremely thin. He is a mill rescue that is not housebroken, but does amazingly well with his puppy pads. Oscar is one of the fortunate ones – he has no other health issues as a result of spending his life in a puppy mill. His scars are on his soul – he wants to be with people, but is terribly afraid of them. He is slowly becoming more comfortable with his foster parents, and will come toward them when called. Today he discovered a dryer sheet – what fun he had with that! He would throw it in the air and then chase it – to see him so happy was incredible. He is lucky to have a couple of his mill friends at the same foster home, so he runs and plays with them. Due to no teeth – he will require a soft diet for the rest of his life, but has no other restrictions. He is a beautiful little man, that loves to snuggle against you. Please open your heart to one that has so much love to give and many years to share with you - work with him and see what beauty lies within. If you would like to give Oscar a loving home please put his name on your application. Adoption donation $300 includes microchip Fill out an Application now!

Adoption donation is $350	TJ This is TJ (ToTo Junior). He was surrendered by the family who had raised him from puppy hood. Unfortunately, due to their home based business, TJ became very excited with the constant ringing of the door bell which caused him to cough. He has a small throat and the excitement made it difficult to breath. He appears to have been well loved and cared for. TJ is a fixed, seven pound male, with the most adorable “wolf man” face and expressions. He is up to date on his shots and microchipped. He was born in July 2004. TJ has a slight under bite and a bottom eye tooth that sticks out a bit. He comes to his name, loves to cuddle and lay on your lap and is content to be wherever you are. TJ gets along well with other dogs and cats, has learned to use a doggy door, and is paper trained – mostly. He is the perfect walking companion, will not chase after other dogs or run off. He likes both males and females, but prefers the person who will allow him to lay on their lap the most. He enjoys a hard biscuit treat, doesn't over eat, likes chew bones, and loves to toss his stuffed toys around. He is a very tender little boy with a charming and loving personality. He is looking for a home that has a safe enclosed backyard for him to play in, a doggy friend and someone who is going to include him for weekend outings and vacations. If you have this kind of loving home, ask for TJ. Adoption donation is $350 (microchip included). Fill out an Application now!
