Yorkie puppies and dogs in Louisiana

Adoption Fee: $600 Age: 6 months Weight: 4.88 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 12/26/25 - I had me a Merry Christmas, I had me a Merry Christmas, I had me a Merry Christmas, now need a home for the New Year! Hi, my name is Charlie, and on New Year’s Day. I will be seven months old. Just two short months ago, I was living a horrible existence in a rundown shed in the backwoods of nowhere. I was the last of a litter and for some reason had not found a home yet. My living conditions were deplorable, my landlord was the scum of the Earth, and I never knew if my next meal was coming or not. Then all of a sudden, one day, in walked a lady with angel wings on her back. She had heard about me around town and decided to come and rescue me. She scooped me up from there, put me in her car, took me home, cleaned me up, fed me and talked sweet to me. I was not used to any of this, but I welcomed it all. Since I had very little human contact for 6 months and no one really ever spoke to me, this was new to me and I was kind of afraid and anxious. But my rescuer walked me through it and treated me so good. She was not in a position to actually own a puppy at the time, but she saved me anyway to start me on my journey. From there, she connected with Yorkie Haven Rescue to make sure that my future would be all that it could ever be. Now I’m in a foster home with other dogs, toys to play with, comfy beds, everywhere, good food, and treats that taste as if they just fell from heaven. With all of this positivity, I’m coming into my own personality and acting like a puppy should act. I’m playing with toys, I’m running around spastically, I have the attention span of a hummingbird on crack, and I wake up every day ready to take on the world. I never knew life could be so great. But on the flipside, I’m a sweet, lovable, kissy-kissy little guy that wants to please. I’m working on the potty training and currently wear a belly band when I cannot be watched because I will make mistakes. I cannot be blamed for this since I’ve only had 60 days of freedom where I did not use the bathroom where I had to sleep. You can’t expect a prisoner that has totally be treated like their existence doesn’t matter to have all the social and etiquette skills without some routine and structure. And I have a small bladder. Foster mom and dad say I’m doing really well as far as puppies go. I’m keeping my chewing on things that aren’t meant for chewing to a minimum, so far. Oh, except for the rug under the kitchen table and trying to run off with a piece of mulch or two out in the yard. The good news is when I’m sternly told “No”, I listen. I even like the discipline. When it’s time to go to bed, I lay down and crash. But when the sun comes up, watch out! I eat like it’s my last meal and enjoy every day like it’s my last day. I know it’s not now, but old habits are sometimes hard to break. I need a home that has a fenced in yard since I like to run around outside and doing my business on the end of a leash would feel like torture. Although, I’m cool going for walks. Small children and an active house are a no-no since I’m so small and still timid if things are too loud or rowdy. It would be ideal for me to have another young small dog to play with and learn from. I also would not do well being left for long periods Anyway, I know I’ve kept you long enough and should wrap up this bio, so, what do you say? If you are ready for a lifetime of tail wagging, puppy kissing, and endless adventures, I’m just an adoption application away. Let’s make this New Year the start of something special together. 12/14/25 - BIO COMING SOON (Charlie just recently entered the program)!

Adoption Fee: $400 Age: 3.5 years Weight: 15.2 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 11/5/25 - BIO COMING SOON! 11/9/25 - Hi, my name is Sarge and I was surrendered by my family when they realized they made a jump decision in getting me and then did not have time for me. It’s really sad when you think about it. Getting something and then just discarding it like its feelings, safety and life do not matter, all because someone did not think seriously about a decision before they made it. Well, I’m thinking seriously about the family that I choose. See, this time, I have a voice in this choice. So, I guess I need to tell you a little about myself. As I said, my name is Sarge and I am a happy, boisterous, loving, smiling, playing, exploring, existence of a four-legged companion. I’m always up for anything. You want to go walking? Let’s go! Down for a snack and nap? Right up my alley. Want to snuggle in with some popcorn and a movie? Now, you’re talking my language. Want to just go sit in the backyard and enjoy the sunshine and watch the leaves fall from trees? I’m your man. Basically, I’m a 100% all around easy snuggle bunny of a pet. I love sleeping in bed with my humans, I eat with no problem, I’m friendly with all people I meet, I walk well on a harness and leash, I’m not barker, normal inside noises don’t rattle me, I take any medicine fine with a pill pocket and I’m not annoyingly clingy like most yorkies are. I’m not a jumper, so I will need assistance getting on and off the chair, sofa and bed. Foster mom says this is a good thing since I won’t tear an ACL jumping. Low key confession, I probably would jump if I wasn’t overweight. There, I said it. I’m husky, fat, vertically challenged, heavy!! I’m working on it though. I’m trying to eat less, although that’s hard, because I am a chow hound. I’m in a foster home with other dogs smaller than I am. I’m fine with other dogs my size, larger than me and cats. But I will say that the longer I’m here, I get more attached to my foster mom and can try to throw my weight around by growling at the others at times. Mainly during feeding time. So, I will need a parent that will not put up with my jealously and another dog friend that will put me in my place wouldn’t hurt. I’m pretty good with my potty habits, but foster mom has pee pads, so my next home will need those. I won’t lie, mistakes do happen, but no one is perfect. I might pick up a toy here and there, but I don’t play with them. Maybe later I’ll learn that they are fun. So, that’s my story. What’s yours??

Adoption Fee: $250 Age: 8 years Weight: 6 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 7/30/25 - Lexi's visit with Internal Medicine at CAVS showed that Lexi is in the early stage of renal disease. She will need to stay on the medicine she is currently on, Benazapril, and stay on her diet of K/D soft and hard mixed. Thank goodness, she LOVES it. With aging, comes medical issues. This is true in humans and animals alike. However, that does not discount the life we have left. Lexi is a vibrant, intelligent, sweetheart of a lady that has as many years left as we all do... Unknown. She definitely does not act or feel as if anything is wrong, so we are not about to tell her any different. With that being said, the only upkeep to stay on top of her condition will be bi-yearly bloodwork, checking the protein in her urine, her creatinine and her albumin levels. Show me a human that does not go to the doctor a little more for preventative check-ups as they get older. Lexi loves the other pups in her foster home, but isn't much on playing. She just loves to cuddle with them. She would like a more calm house that focuses on the kids with four furry legs and enjoys the day going outside when it isn't too hot and watching tv with her foster mom and fur-siblings.' Sleeping in human bed is a must and 100% unconditional love and affection from her humans is a must. Look at that face and tell us that she can't be picky on choosing her next home! 7/21/25 - Lexi was surrendered to YHR because her owners were displaced and could not take care of her any longer. On her initial vet visit, she was very anemic (but was covered with fleas, so that could have been the problem) and her blood and urine testing indicated possible kidney issues. She was started on a kidney diet and Benazapril and showed only mild improvement; so she is being referred to an Internal Med Specialist at Capital Area Veterinary Associates. We are still accessing Lexi's personality and will definitely update soon on her likes, dislikes and her medical status, but for now, we do know that she is an angel. She loves attention, loves to sleep in bed with her owners, eats great, might make a mistake here and there, but for the most part, does her business outside and has a very happy disposition. She doesn't play with any of the other pups in her foster home, but none of them seem to bother her.

Adoption Fee: $250 Age: 8 years Weight: 9 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 5/26/25 - Whew! Amber and I have been so busy lately, we didn’t realize how long it’s been since we updated everyone about us. We are, of course, still up for adoption. We would like to be adopted together. We originally came from the same home and have been fostered in the same foster home for so long now, it would hard to go anywhere without my sister. We are so much alike in so many different ways. We are both very loving and absolutely love to give kisses. This is a must in our new home that we be able to kiss our new mom and dad. We would do better without any small children around. We are very quick, so around open doors, you have to be very careful so as not to let us out. We can be very fast and are very curious. Although, we do focus on pleasing foster mom and dad. We are very good in the potty department. We will use pee pads and go outside. We aren’t the best when at the groomer, but nevertheless, she can still get the job done and we are good for our weekly bath and blow-dry at home. We eat like champs and are ready to go to bed at whatever time you like. Both of us like to get in the human bed, but when it’s time to go to sleep, my sister Amber goes to sleep on the back of the sofa. I guess she needs more room to herself. I will sleep in the human bed, but will sometimes go join my sister in the middle of the night. We have never met anyone that doesn’t love both of us. Everyone always comments on how sweet and gentle we are. Our one main fault is that we HATE cats. Don’t want them living in our house and don’t even want any stray ones anywhere around our yard. We are full-on terriers when it comes to the kitties. We are thinking that 2025 will be our year that someone will get lucky and want us to join their family. Is that you? 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, Louisiana Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 5/26/25 - Shelby isn’t making much progress coming out of her shell. Her previous life absolutely took a toll on her. The one saving grace is that she is 50% better than she was in the beginning and eats good and goes outside great now without being scared of the threshold of the door going out or in. She co-exists fine with the other dogs, but does not interact with them. She does watch them for cues on things that normal dogs are used to doing. She still has a ways to go, but we are just proud of her for being able to get where she is now. 2/5/24 - Shelby has completed heartworm treatment and has tested negative. She is a new woman ready to look at applications. 1/7/24 -Ok, I’ll just start off by letting you know that I realize that I am not the most adoptable pup in the world. I really have a fear of humans right now. Some have really worked me over in my lifetime and it’s just not that easy letting my guard down. My sister, Molly, and I were locked in cages since we were puppies. We produced litter after litter to make money for greedy people. We had no contact with humans except to be treated badly which has resulted in our total fear. We also were never brought to the vet, or given heartworm prevention, which has resulted in both Molly and I being heartworm positive. We have started our treatment and received our second round on December 28th. We are doing well for now and not having any complications thank goodness. We are used to our foster mom now, but still don’t like to be picked up by her or anyone. And if anyone new comes over, we will run and hide or freeze in one spot. Seems like it should be easy for us to forget our past when people are trying so hard to be nice and talk sweet to us, but it doesn’t work that way. I’m sure after a long-term relationship with VERY understanding and VERY patient parents, I’ll figure out that you aren’t wanting to hurt me and I’ll come around. Now dogs are a different story. They seem to be my safe haven. So, if you want to adopt me, you must have another dog(s). I also would not hate it if you wanted to adopt Molly and I together, but we can go separately. It’s not that I play with the other dogs, but I need them for comfort, guidance and learning. Since Molly and I have been in our foster home, the other dogs have taught us that the threshold of the back door isn’t scary, so we follow the others in now instead of darting from corner to corner in the back yard. However, I sometimes resort back and want to stay outside and foster mom has to act like she is shutting the door on me to convince me to come in. They are also teaching us when it is breakfast and supper time. We all get excited at this time! Pee pads are another thing we’ve learned. We will also go outside, but still make mistakes. I haven’t graduated to sleeping in the human bed. Molly and I usually sleep together in a dog bed/or on a comforter on the floor in the bedroom where everyone else sleeps. I absolutely love toys and play with them alot. We had another foster in our home recently and she taught me to tear all the toys up, so now that is what I do. But I still love them. I am more scared of things than Molly is. I'm not brave enough to want foster mom to pick me up and definitely don't go up for any pets. I will need a very secure back yard since walking on a harness and leash scare the dickens out of me. I am a knee-jerk reactor and if given the opportunity, would bolt away. In a way, both Molly and I have sweet, but feral personalities. We don’t like it and aren’t proud of it. Foster mom tells us that there are people out there that will still be interested in loving us and giving us all the time in the world to trust and love. We sure hope she is right, but for now, she and her other dogs are doing a really good job of helping us learn this outside world that seems so large and scary. I know what you’re thinking, “Why adopt this dog, she’s hopeless”. Well, this is your chance to really “adopt” and “rescue” a poor lost soul that will in time come around and is literally the meaning of “a diamond in the rough”. I might not greet you at the door with tag wags and licks, I won’t cuddle up next to you on the sofa to watch a movie, and my eyes are usually very wide open like a deer in headlights, but I really deserve another chance at a life that was stolen from me at the hands of inhumane people.
