My name is Precious!

UPDATE 04-20-09: MEET PRECIOUS - she is an 11 y/o adorable parti-poodle. Precious weighs 5.5# and is being fostered in The Villages, FL. Please don't overlook Precious because of her age - she is a very active and playful little girl who loves to lie in your lap and give you lots of kisses. Precious has been waiting for her forever home for over a year now. Precious and her daughter Missy are yorkie 'wannabe's'........but that doesn't mean they don't need love. Precious is delighted that her daughter Missy, who until a few weeks ago was timid and withdrawn, has 're-found' her true delightful personality and is now playing with her as often as possible. Missy will even go to the toybox and get a soft toy for Precious -so sweet! Although Precious has no teeth, she can 'mouth' soft toys like the Gruffle Balls (see them in our Yorkie Shoppe!), and even tries to pick up other toys, and sometimes is successful! Precious has always been outgoing and loving - both of these girlies were neglected in their former home; poor Precious' teeth had been so rotten for such a long time that part of her bottom jawbone was actually resorbed by her body......so sad! This doesn't keep her from enjoying her soft food and eating treats from time to time. Precious would make a wonderful companion for an older person - she is completely housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out. Please consider giving this little princess the forever home she so richly deserves..............

UPDATE 01-15-09 MEET PRECIOUS - she is an 11 y/o adorable poodle; Preci0us weighs 5.5# and is being fostered in The Villages, FL. Please don't look away from her because of her age - she is very playful and loves to greet all the new foster dogs in the home. She also loves to cuddle in Foster Mom's lap and will stay there for hours - she's a very smart little girlie and is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. Please consider adopting this little princess..........she has so much love to give.......

UPDATE 12-03-08: MEET PRECIOUS: She is an 10 y/o adorable poodle; she weighs 5.5# and is being fostered in The Villages, FL. Precious thought she was going to be adopted along with her daughter, Missy, but the adoption didn't go through..........so she is still waiting, waiting, waiting for her forever home. Precious is too sweet for words.....she only wants to have a forever home of her own. When her former owner died, the family took both Precious and her daughter to the shelter to be PTS. Thankfully, UYR was there to save their lives. Precious only needs a small little bed to sleep in, a tiny little outside area to go potty in, and a lap that is willing to allow her to sleep in.....she is so deserving of her very own home. It would be wonderful if she and her daughter, Miami Missy (see above) could be adopted together, however, it has been decided to separate them if it means one of them will have a forever home. Please consider adopting this little princess........




UPDATED BIO 10-29-08: Precious is still waiting for her forever home. :( Precious is Miami Missy's mom - she is a miniature parti-colored poodle who is 10 y/o and weighs 5# - she is being fostered in The Villages, FL. Precious is so deserving of her very own home; it has been decided that Precious can be adopted into a home by herself, and doesn't need to be adopted with Missy. She isn't any trouble at all, sleeps all night long, and gets along with the other dogs in the home. Please consider adopting this little princess.....

UPDATED BIO 07-31-08: Precious & Missy are two adorable little yorkie 'wannabe's' that are still waiting for their forever home. Precious is a miniature parti-colored poodle who is 10 y/o and weighs 5#. Missy is her adorable little daughter, who is a malti-poo; she is 7 y/o and weighs 6#. These little girls love to lie in the sunshine outdoors and will let you know when they need to go out. They're not any trouble at all, and deserve to have their own forever home where they can be little princesses.


UPDATED BIO 06-28-08: Precious & Missy are two adorable little yorkie 'wannabe's' that are still waiting for their forever home. Precious is a miniature parti-colored poodle who is 10 y/o and weighs 5#. Missy is her adorable little daughter, who is a malti-poo; she is 7 y/o and weighs 6#. Precious and Missy have been together all their lives....and they deserve a home where they can be placed together. These little girlies are playful and are well-mannered. They will let you know when they need to go outside - aren't they smart? Missy is more reserved and timid; but Precious is a lapbaby indeed!



UPDATED BIO 05-05-08: Precious & Missy are two adorable little 'yorkie wannabe's' that are so ready for their forever home! Precious is a miniature parti-colored poodle who is 10 y/o and weighs 6#. Missy is her adorable little daughter, who is a malti-poo; she is 7 y/o and weighs 6-1/2#. Precious and Missy have been together all their lives....and they deserve a home where they can be placed together. They are very, very sweet little girlies who have the best personalities. They are playful and always keep Foster Mom & Dad laughing. They have great manners and only bark if they think someone is 'creeping around' their yard - great watchdogs!


When these girlies had their dentals, little Precious lost all her remaining teeth, which were horribly rotted. The rotting bottom teeth were so badly infected that they had actually begun rotting away her bottom jaw - so sad! But to be sure, she can eat just fine!


Missy was ony left with a few teeth, as her's were also badly rotted; one on the top was so nasty that it had actually eaten a hole in her gums....isn't that pitiful?


They are both feeling much better now that those rotting teeth have been removed, and these little girlies will make someone loving companions. They are so ready to give and receive love. Do you have a tiny little spot in your home that they could call their own?


ORIGINAL BIO 03-23-08: Please meet Precious & Missy, mother and daughter! They are both yorkie wannabe's - Precious is a miniature poodle (she's the parti-colored princess) and Missy appears to be a malti-poo - apparently her daddy was a maltese. :) Precious is 10 y/o and weighs 6#; Missy is 7 y/o and weighs 6.5#. Precious and Missy were dumped at a high-kill shelter in South Florida after their owner died. The shelter was beyond capacity and was going to euthanize these beautiful little girls unless a rescue group pulled them immediately. Precious and Missy have always been together and it would be pawsome if they could be adopted together; they can ONLY be adopted into an adult-only household due to their size. They are both very sweet little girlies who are quiet and well-mannered and need a loving home where they can bring happiness and joy to their new forever owner. They both need dentals badly and may lose a lot of teeth, but this certainly doesn't deter them from eating! Do you have room in your home and heart for these special little girlies? The family who adopts Precious and Missy will be very blessed by the love they have to share with you.
