Save A Yorkie Rescue

Save a Yorkie Rescue’s forever foster dogs are in need of your support!

We currently have 18 forever foster dogs. All vet care, meds, treatments, grooming and supplies are covered by the rescue for the life of each dog. Forever fosters are dogs that are not up for adoption due to age, medical issue or behavioral quirk. 

Check out our Furever Foster Fling happening Thursday April 22-Sunday April 25th on Facebook. Learn about our forever foster dogs, bid on our online auction, see live videos and more!

Cookie needs your help!  He is fighting for his life!

Cookie is a 3 year old 8 lb Yorkie that was attacked by his owners pitbull and has bite wounds into his abdomen and needs Emergency Exploratory Surgery to have his abdomen examined and any repairs to intestines, etc repaired.  He will have the Surgery tonight.  Then he needs to be seen by Orthopedics to have his back left lower leg repaired for a fracture due to a bite.  
 
Can you please, if you are able to...help us help Cookie!

The downpayment for Emergency Surgery and Hospitalization for puncture wounds in the abdomen and intestines is $7,813.72 and for Orthopedic Surgery for the break in his leg will be between $5,000.00-$7,000.00.  With all of our fundraisers being cancelled for this year (with the Coronavirus Pandemic lurking out there) we are unable to fundraise for special cases like Cookie's surgeries.  If we did not take him into rescue he would have been euthanized.

Please, please can you make a donation to help Cookie live a happy, normal life with all of his injuries in his past?

UPDATE - Pinot's Medical Bills are now over $15,000.

This little guy, Pinot Grigio has had a rough start. He came into the rescue with a known ACL/Meniscus tear and possible exposure to parvo requiring him to be quarantined for 10 days.  He did not contract parvo!  We discovered that he is a social little guy who loves to be part of a pack human or four legged, big or small, feline or canine he does not discriminate. However, we had struggles with food and pacing. We worked our way through a dozen dog foods, steak, chicken, and eggs to find that he would eat rice, pumpkin, bacon, liverwurst, and peanut butter!  He was also very restless, which seemed normal for the ACL tear and he was scheduled for surgery July 1stand receiving pain meds as needed.  Pinot was finally discovering that there are good things in life like belly rubs, toys, brothers, fenced yards, and soft beds!
 And then one evening, with no warning, Pinot began to pace, drool, head press, and had a total change in personality.  We went to the vet as an emergency to discover that Pinot had an extremely high white blood cell count!  Everything from brain tumor to rabies was discussed as a possibility and we were sent home with antibiotics and sedatives.  The next morning it was clear Pinot needed further care, he was drooling and lethargic and had a vacant look in his eyes!  He no longer sought comfort from us!  We rushed the little guy two hours away to a hospital in Ithica, NY where we discovered that he has been suffering from a liver shunt!  We were not sure if he could make it through the day. The emergency vet said he was in very rough condition.  He was given lactulose enemas to try and get his ammonia levels decreased and clear his mentation issues.  He was treated for 2 days and had a positive outcome and will go to a different facility for life saving surgery!  Pinot has been home for a night and we see a remarkable change in him as he is no longer pacing, he appears to be pain free and is eating and slept peacefully for the first time!
This is only the beginning of this dear one’s recovery. He has a long (and costly) medical journey ahead of him, but for now he is thriving and showing glimpses of the wonderful and precious soul that has been suppressed due to the pain and discomfort in his little body.  Pinot was lucky to have found his way to Save A Yorkie Rescue! Pinot is scheduled to see Dr. Carlos Hodges on June 12 to be evaluated for liver shunt surgery.

Medical Bills are already over $3,000 and Pinot has not had any of the two surgeries he needs - livershunt surgery, neuter, and he will still need his ACL repaired.
