Yorks is a 6-7 year-old little male who will steal your heart away! He may also steal your sandwich if you aren't paying attention, as he fended for himself for quite some time before being saved by a thoughtful family who contacted GLWR. He was emaciated when he was found, but his condition has improved tremendously since coming to the rescue. His weight is coming along nicely, his open sores have healed and he is getting stronger by the day.

He cherishes every little thing, be it a good meal or the soft blanket he curls up with in his crate in front of the warm fireplace each night. The contented sigh he makes just melts our hearts. A rawhide treat will make is face light up with joy and he will carry his "goodie" in his mouth for hours as if he is afraid it will disappear if he sets it down. He is like a puppy tucked away inside of an older, wise body. lass="c2">

Yorks is definitely bred from hunting stock and has a phenomenal nose and prey drive. Therefore, he will need a home without small critters such as cats, small dogs, rabbits, etc. as the temptation would be too great for him to resist. Having been on his own for so long, he is still searching for food all of the time, so garbage cans and countertops are no match for his highly-tuned hunting nose! It will take some time for him to not feel as if he must be constantly searching for his next meal. He is very content to be in his crate though, especially if he has a special treat to pass the time.

He is miraculously heartworm negative and has now been neutered. The staff at the veterinary clinic absolutely fell in love with this guy! He will be going in for another check-up soon and hopefully will be available for adoption after that.

Like most rescues we operate with volunteers and are funded by donations. GLWR and Yorks would greatly appreciate any contribution you could make to help pay for his recovery and associated veterinary treatment. GLWR is a 501(c)3 non-profit and your donation should be tax deductible (check with your tax preparer).
