Story
Adoption Fee: $400 Fostered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Age: 3 years Weight: 10 lbs. Major Tom is a Yorkie/Schnauzer mix. 10/23/24 – Major is still his quirky, loving, obnoxious, smart, diamond-in-the-ruff self. He is such a smart dog. Currently at his foster home, he is potty trained. And his foster mom doesn’t take this sentence lightly. We never promise a dog won’t make mistakes. He will use a pad if he has to go and his humans aren’t paying attention, but does his business outside. When you talk to him, he turns his head from side to side as if he is truly listening and understanding what you are saying. He is the biggest baby you will ever meet. He is scare of most things, which is where his obnoxious behavior comes out. He isn’t great with new people and if someone comes over, he will bark and act as if he is not scared, but is actually uncomfortable with new people and situations. It will definitely take a little while for his new owners to win him over, but once you do, he is like glue. His people are his life. After you work through the “I’m a killer, but I will tinkle myself if you come near me” exterior. 4/14/24 - Major Tom thought it was about time he updated everyone on what was going on with him since he has been in his foster home. He is a sweet boy, but does have fear issues with new people. When he first meets someone, he will bark at them as if he is scared and trying to protect himself. Sometimes he might even go hide if meeting someone new at his foster home where he is secure. But once introduced and comfortable, he will love unconditionally. He loves men and woman, but definitely is more comfortable with woman. In his foster home, he plays and loves on foster mom and dad, but will submissive tinkle if foster dad picks him up too quickly. He would benefit from a young playful dog in the home as he loves to play and can be aggravating to dogs that don't want to play or have his energy level. He loves to play with toys and run and play chase with other dogs. He is not very comfortable walking on a harness and leash, so a secure fenced yard is a must for him. He is a very good sleeping companion and adores laying right next to his humans either on top or under the covers. Major does well at the groomer and is great for his weekly bath and blow dry for his foster parents. He doesn't like a chaotic, busy or loud home, so he would probably do best in a home without children. He is a smart baby. His foster mom taught him to sit for a treat in just 1 day. So he has potential to learn more basic commands. Major is a happy little guy that did not learn a lot of socialization as a young pup and that has resulted in him being a little socially uncomfortable and timid, but he loves his people 100% and is a great pup. He has enjoyed living at his foster home, but wouldn't object to starting his life with his forever family. Since he is scared around new people and will need time to adjust, visits will probably be beneficial in his transition when getting adopted. So, he will need to be adopted in Louisiana to make sure that all goes well. If you feel that you are the one for Major Tom, we are accepting applications now! 11/22/21 - Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! The name is Major Tom, but you can call me Major. Or, you can call me Tommy Boy. Or you can call me Baby. Just call me in a sweet voice, because I love that. I was surrendered by my previous owner because I was too much to handle. My last home did not have enough energy outlets for me and I really need exercise and also needed more socialization. Not getting this resulted in me playing too rough snapping and biting at my mom. She did what was best and surrendered me to YHR. I explained to my foster mom that I didn’t mean it and she said that it’s just puppy antics that needed to be redirected. I do have a very submissive and fearful personality. I’m afraid when meeting new people and will sometimes submissive tinkle. Other times I will try to overcompensate for my fear by barking and growling. Foster mom tells everyone to just sit down and let me get to know them and come to them on my terms. She told me that she understands my issues and we are going to slowly work on them. She’s cool. I’m timid around other dogs too. I’m just learning to play with them a little because there is a Shih-tzu in my foster home that is trying to show me the ropes. So having another dog in the home would be a plus so I can pickup ques from them and it helps me trust humans too. I just don’t need to be around any that are too rough because it scares me. Once I trust you, I’m definitely my human’s dog and I will follow you everywhere and can even get protective of you. I f foster mom and I are in the bed and foster dad walks in, I will bark and growl at him until he comes over and talks sweet to me and pets me. Foster mom said that I cannot go to a home with children of any age or one that is too chaotic because I get overly stimulated easily. Exercise, i.e., walking, playing fetch or chase with my humans, etc. will help with this and help me to gain confidence. I know I’m not doing the best at making myself sound like a gem to be adopted, but I am actually a great boy. I come when called, sleep right next to my human all night perfectly, and loves to give and receive love and affection. I’m learning to play with toys and it is the bomb! I’m pretty good in the potty department as long as you let me out enough and stay out with me If you think you will sneak off and go inside, forget it. I will run back in too and do my business inside. So, it’s up to you if you want to stay out with me, or clean up. Lol I’m not a springy fellow. I’m actually just starting to walk up the steps/benches to the bed. But I still like to be picked up and put in the bed. I will come down the steps though. Foster mom says it is just adorable to see me raise up on the side of the bed and scratch to be picked up. I guess since I’m bigger, she just assumes I’d be able to jump up and down the steps with ease. While I’m continuing to get love and attention here and learning discipline and how to trust, if you think I have the potential to be a part of your home, please apply. Remember, I will need a quiet home with parents that will exercise me regularly, no children, and another non-rowdy dog to learn from and play with. Don’t let my shortcomings scare you off, I’m quite handsome and a great catch. Or so says foster mom and she wouldn’t lie to me. I'll be spending Thanksgiving with my foster family, but maybe by Christmas, I can have a family of my own. Major Tom signing off! 11/12/21 - BIO COMING SOON!

Story
Adoption Fee: $325 Age: 6 years Weight: 10.44 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 10/23/24 – Amber and Emma 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. Amber is submissive (and is a less confident than Emma) 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 Emma, if something goes sideways, Amber 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 Amber. She doesn’t sleep in the bed with her humans, but does love getting in the bed and being rubbed on and loved on. She is welcome to sleep in the bed, but when the lights go out, she 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. That is when her obedience comes in handy. A sharp, loud “AMBER”, and she stops what she is doing and comes running. Eager to please and longing for love, this baby, and her sister, Emma, are a power couple and a joy to have. 4/14/24 – Amber 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. Anytime you reach down to pet her, she will roll over and show her belly. She loves attention and loves getting and giving kisses. 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. Especially if it is crowded. Amber 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 Amber”, 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, Amber 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 Emma 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 - Amber, Bebe and Emma 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 to, but good food and baths are helping the hair feel more like hair and less like hay. 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 Amber. I am such a sweetheart, so I’ve been told everyday since I arrived at my foster home. My foster parents are constantly saying how pretty my face is and how dainty I am and how sweet my personality is. I’m very humble too. I love getting attention and if I even think you are going to want to give me a kiss or pet me, I will scurry right up to you, hunker down and roll over. I am a very submissive girl and appreciate any attention and love I can get. I’m always happy too. My tail is always wagging and my butt wags with it. My whole backend moves when I’m happy, which is all the time now. I just love being talked to and will look at you as if you hung the moon. I haven’t quite got the hang of being held. I’m rather uncomfortable and don’t know what to do since I haven’t been held much previously, but I’m getting better. I’m not so clingy that I follow my humans everywhere, but foster mom keeps inviting me to every room she goes in, so I’m learning to understand that I’m wanted. 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 really don’t care about toys, just comfortable places to lay. I really enjoy having other dogs around, but I don’t like very active, obnoxious ones. I’m a sweet calm girl and would like to share space with another sweet, calm dog or two. I’ve learned to use the bench to get up and down in the bed, however, I haven’t gotten quite comfortable enough to sleep the whole night through in the human bed. I will start off there (because foster mom brings me to bed), but in the middle of the night, I wind up going to sleep on the back of the sofa. I have also learned about all the comfy dog beds in the house and foster mom and dad have been catching me in a new one every so often. So the lowdown on me is that I’m VERY sweet, pretty, kind, gentle, dainty and loving and I’m looking for a home with a fur-sibling or two, a mom and dad, no young children, a fenced in back yard (doesn’t have to be large), healthy food and nightly massages (I absolutely love my belly rubbed). I know that is a tall order, but I’m a believer and I truly believe that there is a perfect home out there just for me, or me and one of my sisters. I’m not settling this time. I’m happy in my foster home, so I will hold out until what I read gives me the warm and fuzzies. Wouldn’t you? Thanks for understanding!

Story
Adoption Fee: $400 Age: 2.5 years Weight: 6 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 10/23/24 – 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.

Story
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.

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”.
