A Hermione

After making her way from West Virginia to Pennsylvania, Hermione spent 2 months with the Kissinger's and underwent an extensive surgery on both ears while in foster care. Thankfully SAYR stepped up to get her this much needed surgery that went neglected far too long in her previous life. Although she will not regain any hearing, she is still the happiest girl with the biggest heart. We are thrilled to report that Hermione was adopted on Yorkie Day and is staying within the Save A Yorkie Rescue family! Our wonderful volunteer, Robin Kleppenger adopted Hermione, who now goes by the much improved name of Winnie. She is fitting right in with the Kleppenger family and getting along great with her new brother, Harlie. We have been staying in close contact and are receiving daily pictures and videos of Winnie in her new home. Although she is dearly missed, we couldn't be happier to watch her thrive in her forever home. Congrats Winnie, you deserve it!!!

A Daizie

Our little Daizie has found her forever family with Gary and Kris. Daizie had bonded with us and had picked her person so we were not sure how well she would do. When Kris and Gary arrived Daizie was happy to meet them and went right into Kris’s arms. After a while we could see Daizie relax and even give out kisses. When the paperwork was done and the time for final goodbyes was here, Daizie went into the car with Gary and was relaxed and ready for her new adventures. A few hours later we received a picture of little Daizie playing on her fluffy bed with a bully stick. She looked very content! We are so proud of this little spitfire and are grateful for her new loving home! Congratulations Daizie!!!

A Lena

October 6th — the day of the Harvest Moon — my little Lena was adopted. Always bittersweet. Cheryl and her dad drove three hours to meet Lena. When I opened the door, Lena and my two other Yorkies greeted them with a chorus of barking. Lena, who can be very territorial and is often frightened by men, wasted no time making her feelings known—she went straight for Cheryl’s dad’s shoes, trying to give them a good nip. Not exactly the perfect first impression! We all sat down on opposite couches, talking as Lena continued barking until, finally, she curled up on my lap—still cautious, but calmer. Cheryl gently approached, giving Lena time to feel safe. Slowly, Lena allowed herself to be held, and we managed to capture our first photo together. When it came time to say goodbye, I didn’t walk them to the car. That’s always the hardest moment for me—watching them drive away. I kissed Lena and whispered, “I love you.” Then I went to my window and watched as she was carefully placed in the car, my heart in my throat, worrying she might think she was being taken away from everything she knew. But just a few hours later, Cheryl called. “She was quiet the whole way home,” she said. “Now she’s exploring the house!” Whew. My heart began to relax. The next day brought even more reassurance—Lena had slept through the night, enjoyed her breakfast, went for a walk, and was now sitting happily on Cheryl’s lap while she worked. All my fears melted away in that moment. Lena didn’t see it as being taken—she knew she was on her way home. A forever home. Forever safe. Forever loved. Congratulations Lena!!!

A Tesla

Hi everyone, I have bittersweet news. I have been hearing my foster mom talk about the human mom and dad that are interested in giving me a forever home. She has spoken to them and thinks they will be a good family for me. I get to decide on Friday, after meeting them, if I want to go. I will continue to spend time with my foster mom being loved, played with and fed till then. Thank you SAYR for rescuing me and making sure I have been taken care of after I lost my original home. congratulations Tesla!!!

A Merlin

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! When I got up this morning I could tell something different was going to happen. Mom and my bro Sammy and sis Sophie were very focused on me. They were happy and sad at the same time, but mostly happy. I had a nice long walks with both of them, had a snack and then took a nap. After awhile I did a super stretch, which I am quite good at, and mom said hey let's go for a walk. Sophie and I jumped at the chance. When we were coming back to the house a new car was in the driveway. New people = lots of opportunities for tummy rubs and attention. So of course I turned on my charm, ran up to them, gave them sniffs and kisses and completely let them know that I was the best looking and sweetest dog ever. Anyhow, I digress. We all went inside but Sophie and Sammy hung out in moms room so I had the new lady, Karen, and her husband Geoff, all to myself. They are sooooo nice. Lots of kisses from them, tummy rubs and undivided attention. They brought me a new leash and a new harness that matched. Quite spiffy let me tell you!!! Mom took a picture of me with Karen and Geoff and then I got to go outside and hop into their car. Get this, a new, yes new car seat just for me. They are soooo nice and happy and mom says I get to go live with them. This is awesome. I used to live in a small crate with 2 other dogs crammed in. I had fleas and terrible sores on my man parts from wet belly bands, and not very tasty food. The fleas are gone, thanks mom. I have a house to myself and a beautiful yard, tasty & nutritious food and people who think I am the most amazing pup ever. Yes, they have impeccable taste. Last but not least, Thank You Save a Yorkie Rescue. You saved me and ensured a furever home where I will thrive and not just survive. This never would have happened if you did not intervene. I love you all. Merlin Congratulations Merlin!!!
