3/16/25 - Ok, I guess the very first information on my bio needs to be the answer to “Why is there an American Bulldog on the Yorkie Haven Rescue site”? It is because I’m the new and improved breed of Yorkie. No, just kidding! Here goes: My mom was an honorary Yorkie Haven member and recently passed away. As you can imagine, this was devastating to me. I loved her very much. I know she is in a better place and I have to be strong because now I’m looking for a new family and home to take me in. Since mom passed, I was kind of grandfathered in to Yorkie Haven Rescue so they could make sure and find the most loving, perfect home for me.
I’m currently in a foster home with 1 larger dog and another smaller one. I’m fine around both of them, but haven’t really tried playing with them or toys. I hope to as I get more comfortable here. I’m eating really good (twice a day), and foster mom and dad are glad that I haven’t lost my appetite. They make sure to feed us apart so everyone will leave me alone while I eat. I don’t care if another dog wants to lick my bowl when I’m finished; but, I’m all about manners and I don’t bother any other dogs while they are eating and I wish for the same respect.
There are also children in the home ages 18 years and 12 years. I absolutely love them. I’ve been around younger children and I am a lady with them as well; but, for the safety of all involved, let’s at least stay over the age of 10. Older children seem to be able to handle my size when the cuddling gets serious.
I’m a bit of a couch potato as you can tell by some of my pictures. I absolutely love comfort. Currently I have free roam of my foster home except at night to sleep and if no one is home. For those times, I’m in an x-pen. At my previous home, mom worked and I was used to pee pads being down. While I’m getting used to my new digs and routine, I have my own area with blankies and a pee pad when I’m alone or at night to ease me into things. I have to be honest, I have made mistakes, but no one is perfect. I’m a bit of a Velcro dog currently. I guess losing mom has done on a number on my confidence level and I now don’t want my humans out of my site. So, I will only go outside to do business if you are with me. Oh, also, I’m a little afraid of the dark. I know that statement and my pictures do not go well together; but I’m a sensitive gal at heart. Once it is dark outside, I don’t even want to go out with my foster mom or dad. So, this is what mainly leads to my potty mistakes at night since I can’t hold it until morning. We will work on this as I get more comfortable.
Foster mom and dad have noticed that my hearing may be a tad diminished, but I can hear. At first, they thought I was just depressed. Well, I am, but I’m also at an age where I’m getting age-related issues and a little hearing loss is one of those things.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned about how I am in the car, but I am wonderful. I absolutely love riding in the car unless you are taking me to the vet. But I still love the journey.. It means I’m part of the family and get to go where they are going. At my height and @65 lbs, I look like another human passenger. We’ve also been on walks and I think this is something I enjoy. I just need to get my stamina up.
Everyone that has met me here at my foster home thinks I am great. I’m fitting in nicely and don’t really get rattled by much. I let them put these bunny ears and party necklace on me for my photo shoot and other than thinking my butt is getting a little wide, I thought I looked adorable.
I’m an easy-going lady that did not expect to be back out on the market at this stage of my life, but here I am. So, as I realize that my past cannot be changed, I will be positive for my future and not let this heartbreak ruin me. Even though I will cherish the time I had with my mom, I will take my lemons and make lemonade while looking for a new mom and dad. I will be “an American Bulldog on a Yorkie Haven Rescue site”! And, to quote Napoleon Hill, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of equal or greater benefit.”
