Skylar

Hooray for Skylar now Scarlett! She has a loving forever family. Lindsey, Harley, their daughter Katelyn and "Chippin" (SAYR Rescue 2020) drove in the rain to Fairfax to meet Miss Skylar. Skylar of course had to sit in everyone's lap. Lindsey first with kisses, then Katelyn and finally Harley where she relaxed and laid down. Chippin and Skylar did the obligatory sniffs without any issue. The humans talked about Skylar's traits, meal and medicine routine as Skylar and Chippin mingled. Along with Foster Mom, everyone took a walk together. Skylar hesitated at the door but once she knew Foster Mom was coming she trotted right along. Upon return to the house, the humans reviewed and signed paperwork and then it was time to pack all Skylar's possessions and head for the car. Out the door everyone went with Chippin in Lindsey's arms, Skylar in Harley's arms and Katelyn proudly carrying Skylar's possessions. While pictures were taken, Skylar was relaxed in Harley' arms. Foster Mom couldn't follow to the car as she probably would have had tears of joy for sweet Skylar's adoption and tears of sadness at losing the best cuddler ever! It's reported that Skylar relaxed and slept in Katelyn's lap on the drive home while Chippin commandeered Skylar's bed in the seat beside. It's for sure Skylar knows when she's loved and Chippin is already sharing his people and being a good brother. From a shelter where she might have been euthanized due to the size of her tumor (one pound), to two interim foster homes while in route to Foster Mom in Virginia, Skylar has benefitted from SAYR's commitment to rescue and care for her. SAYR covered her veterinary costs of tumor removal and dental care in excess of $6,000. Now Skylar begins her life anew in her forever home as "Scarlett". Thank you Lindsey and family for welcoming this special needs Yorkie Sweetheart into your hearts. Congratulations Skylar!!!.
