Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Updated bio 11/22/15 Lucky is a happy 3-year-old Yorkie mix. He is a big fellow, weighing 18 perfect pounds. He is being fostered in Byrdstown, TN
Lucky is recovering very nicely from his surgery. He is now walking up hills with his foster parents to develop his leg muscles so he can walk on all four feet. It’s only been two weeks since his surgery and his foster parents have seen him use his injured leg on a few occasions. The more he walks the better he gets.
All Lucky wants for Christmas is a forever home and a Christmas sweater that fits! Imagine having to borrow a sweater from a Chihuahua and one that qualifies as an ugly sweater on top of it!
Since his surgery Lucky has gained 2 lbs. and he looks great! He coat is growing back and he is now ready for his forever home. Might that person be you? Feel free to email his foster mom at tnyorkierescue@gmail.com if you have any questions. It will be a very lucky person who gets to adopt Lucky.
Updated Bio 11/6/15 Lucky is a 3 year old 18 lb. Yorkie mix being fostered in Byrdstown,TN
Lucky had his FHO (hip) surgery on 11/4/15 and came out of the anesthesia very alert and happy to go home with his foster family. The vet said he was a good patient and that the stitches on the side of his hip will come out in 14 days. He is now sporting a shaved hip and is all the rage among his Yorkie friends. That same evening everyone made sure he was comfortable so he would mend quickly. He enjoyed being the center of attention.
The next morning Lucky woke up with a voracious appetite and looks like he is back to his old self. He is getting around with this new red splint well and if you saw him before you would know that it isn’t going to slow him down. Lucky has people to see and places to go!
Lucky's best chance at a perfect life is with someone who wants him to be their constant companion. Lucky has separation anxiety and wants to find someone who is seeking a constant canine companion. He will not do well in a situation where he is left alone for long periods of time. That being said, he LOVES to be active and has lots of energy so someone with an active lifestyle or a family setting would be good. A fenced yard would be perfect as he loves to stand outside an watch the world go by. If you leave him alone he has separation anxiety and will not hesitate to call you back to be with him.
If you think you are just the person that Lucky is looking for then please apply to adopt him. And he would be very appreciative of any donations towards his care!
Initial Bio 10/25/2015 Lucky is a 3 year old 18 lb. male Yorkie mix being fostered in Byrdstown TN. Lucky is true to his name....he is ONE LUCKY BOY! Lucky was picked up off the streets by animal control. He had no chip, no tags, no collar and sadly after many days in the shelter his stray hold was up and No Owners came to look for him. This is bad news for Lucky because he had a dislocated hip, a broken right hind leg and an injured left foot. Sadly, shelters do not have the financial resources to deal with these types of injuries and these dogs are not adoptable to the public in this condition. So……..sadly in most instances these dogs are humanely euthanized if a Rescue group doesn't step up and take them. United Yorkie Rescue could not that happen to this young otherwise healthy boy so we stepped up to take him. Hence.....this big Yorkie boy with boundless energy came to have his name: LUCKY!
Lucky just arrived in his foster home today. He will go to the Vet again tomorrow to assess the extent of his injuries and what it will take to get him healthy and ready for adoption. So far we know that he acts like a puppy and has ton of energy. He is also vocal and likes to have attention and will let you know if you aren't giving it to him. We “think” he would be a great family dog, but we have not tested him officially with children yet. Other than that, we are JUST getting to know Lucky so please STAY TUNED for updates as we come to know more about this loveable bouncy fella!
