A Gemmie

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, or my gosh! It happened just like my foster mom said it would... I was adopted by a wonderful lady and her boyfriend. Alexa.... which to me translates as Angel! It was love at first sight. I mean, how could she not love me as I did my cute eye-glancing, rolled onto my back for tummy rubs and completely showered her with kisses!!! Saturday April 18th was my official adoption date. OK, I need to be honest, it was sad leaving my foster mom, brother and sister. I mean really sad. But once I arrived in Maryland to my new home, I knew my foster mom was right, I was going to be spoiled and living a wonderful life. Here comes my Diva complex!! Congratulations Gemmie!!!

A Roxanne

Hi! I’m Roxanne, but my friends and family call me Roxie. I grew up in a very loving home where I was an only pup. Sadly, my human mom became ill and now lives in a place where I’m not able to go with her. I was then taken in by a family friend (let’s call her “Auntie”), who showed me lots of love. Auntie also has a big dog, though, and he never quite understood that I am supposed to be the top dog. After trying really hard to make it work, Auntie decided it would be best for me to find a home where I could, as the saying goes, rule the roost. So Auntie reached out to the kind people at Save a Yorkie Rescue, and I’m now living with my new family near Harrisburg, PA. They tell me they had a Yorkie for ten wonderful years before he passed away in 2018, and I’m the first Yorkie they’ve welcomed into their home since. I feel very honored! So honored, in fact, that I allow them to give me belly rubs and cuddles—which I love, of course. My new momma is working hard to help me polish my manners. We’re practicing leash skills (I have places to go and people to see!), learning that I shouldn’t eat everything I find on the floor (I don’t eat my human big brothers’ socks, but they are fun to rip apart!), and reviewing commands like sit, stay, and come. I know them all—I just sometimes forget if Momma doesn’t have a treat in her hand. I’m loving all of the attention my new family gives me, and they seem to be loving all the attention I give them right back. I want to thank Save a Yorkie Rescue for everything they did to help me find my forever home. Momma says SAYR is full of caring people who work incredibly hard to find the best parents for Yorkies, and I think they did a wonderful job helping me find my family. Congratulations Roxie!!!

A Cienna

Cienna came to us as a rambunctious puppy. She remains so. But we love her too much to let her go. She has transformed our two resident SAY rescues from a bonded pair into a solid pack. Luca and Vittoria never let it "all out" like they do with Cienna. Play time is “all the time”. A game of chase is an intense runaway train from room to room. A frolic in the yard is a zoomie session. To fetch a thrown toy is an all out marathon to get there first. There is no way these three can be separated. So, we admit failure. After six other fosters, this one created too much of a bond with the whole household to even think about adopting her out. Yes, we know there is a family out there who will love her just as much…but what will Vittoria and Luca do without her?... and likewise, what will Cienna do without them? No way. Welcome home Cienna. Congratulations Cienna!!!

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!!!
