Adoption Fee: $325 Age: 6 years Weight: 9.13 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 10/23/24 – Emma and Amber are such sweethearts. They could be adopted separately, but honestly, they would do great together as they have similar, yet different personalities that balance each other out so well. Emma is submissive (but is a little more confident than Amber) and very sweet and obedient. She will come when she is called. She loves giving kisses to her humans and yearns for attention. She is in a foster home with other pups and is fine getting along with all of them. However, just like Amber, if something goes sideways, Emma definitely will exhibit her alpha side and knows how to handle herself to put the other pups in line. You know that saying, “don’t start shit, but don’t take shit”? That’s Emma. She will get in the bed at night with her humans to be rubbed on and loved on and might even sleep in the bed for a while, but ultimately, she wakes up and jumps down and sleeps in one of many places in the house. She does have that terrier hunt in her as she will chase down a squirrel, bird, lizard, frog, butterfly, etc. and think she is playing with it. That is when her obedience comes in handy. A sharp, loud “EMMA”, and she stops what she is doing and comes running. Eager to please and longing for love, this baby, and her sister, Amber, are a power couple and a joy to have. 4/14/24 -Emma has come out of her shell quite a bit since entering her foster home. She loves men and women, but would do best in a home with no children since she can be frightened with loud noises and chaotic movements. She loves sleeping in the bed with her foster mom and dad, but is also fine to go and sleep in any one of the numerous dog beds around, or the back of the sofa. Emma knows her name well and will definitely come when called. She is quite the chow hound at breakfast and supper time, but is very respectful of the other dogs’ bowls and if she goes near them while they are eating (since she finishes so fast), a quick, “No Emma”, deters her automatically. She loves to please her humans. She would do great in a home with other dogs her size, but definitely NO CATS! She is quite the hunter outside chasing birds and squirrels and even stray cats if they happen to get into the yard. She is submissive, but don’t mistake that for a pushover. She is quite the mom when she needs to put another dog in line for something, but she doesn’t start anything. Even though she isn’t your typical looking yorkie, with her longer legs and her full tail, Emma is a very beautiful girl. She has the most angelic face and is just the sweetest baby. She is such a good girl and will use the pee pads when she needs to, but will also do her business on her many trips outside. We have found out that she and Amber would do fine either being adopted together or being separated. They love each other, but they also love all the other dogs in their foster home, so if there is at least one other dog in her new home, she will be just fine. 4/14/23 - Emma, Amber and Bebe all came to YHR from the same home. Their elderly owner could not care for them any longer so surrendered them. All three are very tall, slender, have nice tails and have beautiful faces. They all thought about going into modeling, but after giving it careful consideration, figured the better path would be to join a family and be pampered, loved and retired. They all three seem to have had puppies before and show signs of uncertainness of humans, so were aren’t sure of their full background of socialization. We believe they are sisters as they are all the same age and look a lot alike. When they first arrived, they did not have any vetting done, so they received the works. Bloodwork, dental, spay, shots, heartworm test, etc. Their skin and hair were in pretty bad shape too, but good food and baths are helping the hair feel more like hair and less like hay. Emma had a lump by her private part and the doctor took a biopsy and it turns out that it was a mast cell tumor (low grade). Please don’t let this scare you off because they got it and it could never come back. She will need to be checked over and any sign of any lumps, she will need to be brought to the vet to make sure all is well. Even though they have a lot in common, they do have differences in their personalities, so we asked each of them to give you details about themselves. Hi, I’m Emma. I have the sweetest personality that you will ever come in contact with. Yep, that’s right, no one out there sweeter. You can just wrap me up and stamp “Godiva” on my back end! I’m pretty flexible too, I could just lay in your lap or sit in your arms all day without so much as a peep or follow you everywhere you walk in the house. I’ve heard that I am an absolute gem to have around and very dainty. I would rather spend all day with my people being petted and loved on. I eat great and fast; I sleep curled up next to my humans all night; I’m a very good girl to go outside and do my business (but have been seen going on the pee pad, and sometimes on a rug); I’m not a huge barker (unless the other dogs in the home bark and they need back-up); and I get along fine with other calm dogs. I don’t seem to know anything about the things called toys, but foster mom and dad are trying to teach me. I love both my foster parents, but, and please don’t tell foster mom this, but I do favor my foster dad. Aside from the fact that he is good looking and I’ve been told I look like a model, I just melt when men are sweet to me. This in no way means I cannot be a momma’s girl because I CAN! I’m sure I’d be a great only dog, but think it would be best if there were another dog or two with laid back personalities. I say this because when foster mom or dad have to leave me, I’m more comforted with friends around. However, even with fur-siblings around, if you are just outside washing the car or doing yard work, you might want to think about bringing me out with you, because if I can see you, I will whine for you and the other dogs have said I hurt their ears. I’ve learned to use the bench to get up and down in the bed to sleep at night, can jump up on the sofa for napping during the day, and am running quality check on all the dog beds in the house. But, if you are sitting, I’m sitting right beside YOU! Let’s sum me up: sweet, attractive, loyal, kind, gentle, dainty, and loving, looking for a laid back home with a dad and a mom, no young children, a fenced in back yard (doesn’t have to be large), the ability to sleep in the master bed, but have dog beds for napping, healthy food and nightly massages. Am I being too needy? Well, I’m now retired from having puppies and have gained enough confidence in my foster home to realize that I am a catch, so bring your “A” game when applying because foster mom is one of those “crazy rescue individuals”.

Adoption Fee: $375 Age: 4 years Weight: 7.5 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 10/23/24 – Harper is a love. She gets around fine and amazes everyone she meets. There are times when her foster mom can tell that she might be feeling the weather in her legs, but a 5-7 day bout of Metacam and she owns the world again. This girl is such a joy to have around and her happy personality is contagious. 4/22/24 - Happy Monday everyone! Harper here. I wanted everyone to know that I am getting stronger and walking fine now at my foster home. The only time it’s difficult for me is after I take a nap or when I first wake up in the morning. Takes a minute to get my bearings, but other than those times, I’m running around the backyard now and even chasing birds and squirrels. I did have an appointment today, though. It was at a vets office that has a treadmill that’s underwater. We’re gonna try some sessions with water therapy to build my muscles in a couple weeks. Can’t hurt. And I might make some new friends. Anyway, my new pictures are coming soon and stay tuned for my water therapy updates. Have a great week! 4/4/24 - Harper saw the specialist and the news was not great. She has a healed previous pelvic trauma, severe with right SI luxation with marked displacement and a left Ilium fracture with severe craniolateral displacement and callused. She also has Grade 4/4 bilateral MPL. The surgeon advised that surgical correction would likely not improve Harper, but may indeed cause worsening of the rear limb function due to possible nerve damage during surgical separation of the healed structures. A doggy wheelchair was discussed, but at this time we aren’t certain of the advantage of a cart. Harper walks on all four limbs in the grass and on carpet or rugs. She will also walk on slick areas, i.e., tile, wood, etc. at times. We have ordered her some socks with grips on the sole to aid in slipping and have discussed water/physical therapy with the surgeon and he thinks it is worth trying. So we are currently getting that together. Aside from all this news, Harper gets around fine, eats great, uses the bathroom fine and is 100% a glass is ½ full type gal. She is so happy and loves being in laps and giving kisses. Anytime you reach down to pet her, she automatically rolls over for a belly rub. Belly rubs are mandatory in her life! We cannot get over what a lovebug this little girl is. She has been dealt some blows, but she certainly isn’t letting that keep her down…. Pun intended. Lol Due to her medical situation, a home without any children will be best. She seems to be getting along with the other dogs in her foster home, but is wanting so much individual attention, she would probably be awesome as an only baby, We are so glad that we were asked to take Harper in and even though she is not a surgical candidate, she is going to make someone(s) a perfect addition to their home. Stay tuned because we will soon be getting some professional photos of Harper taken and then everyone can see just how cute she is now. 3/3/24 - A local shelter called hoping we could take Harper. She was turned into the shelter with an unstable gait (when in the grass) and when inside on tile or wood, sometime walks, but mostly sits and scoots around. Of course we made room because this baby obviously needed our help. We knew she was going to need vetting above and beyond the normal things. The vet's office fit her in, mainly to just get a referral to an orthopedist. Seems she has Grade 4 luxating patellas and something major going on with her pelvis. Thankfully the specialist had a cancellation and Harper now has an appointment Wednesday, March 13th. We will be counting down the hours until we go so we can see exactly what is wrong and what can be done to fix Harper and make her whole. Despite the obvious neglect that she has been through, Harper has the absolute sweetest personality. She loves all people, belly rubs, attention, and kisses. It's just amazing to see her cheerful disposition. We can all learn a thing or two from dogs. We will update after her appointment to let everyone know what the next steps are. Keep Harper in your prayers.
