Fostered in Louisiana

4/14/24 – Hey everybody! Remy here. Foster mom says that I haven’t really gotten interest, so I wanted to send out a little note to let ya’ll know that I am still here and still in need of a permanent home. Still have the enlarged heart, but what dog my age doesn’t that has been through heartworm treatment.
I co-exist fine with the other furbabies in my foster home, so that’s a plus. I do like sleeping with foster mom and some of the others in the big bed, but will also have nights where I like my space and will sleep in one of the dog beds. I don’t have any teeth, but I eat hard kibble with a little soft food in it just fine. I love my foster mom, but I will actually give attention to any human who wants to give me attention. Not much of a player with toys, so that should save a little money.
If you are looking for a new baby to add to your home and you want one that isn’t all over you all the time, I’m your man. I don’t mind sitting in your lap and getting some attention, but not real big on being held for long periods of time. I’m one of those macho guys that likes some space. Also, I’m not big on public dispays of affection…. Kissing. I’m mean I just feel I’m at the age where we can keep our relationship strictly platonic. And I won’t get jealous if you feel the need to give another furry one attention. I think all this is a plus, and I know that someone out there thinks the same.
So, take a few moments and fill out the application on the website and maybe we can connect!
9/26/23 - I just wanted to update everyone on my condition. I do have an enlarged heart, but that is expected with a baby my age with the heavy load of heartworms that I had prior to completing treatment. I've completed my steriods and am doing much better, but to be on the safe side, I better not run around acting like a 2 year old. I can still play, just need to act my age now. Thanks for all your prayers.
9/14/23 - Good Morning everyone! Remy here. Apparently, I just needed a little specialized attention last night with my labored breathing and ER visit. I told the dogtor to call foster mom this morning and let her know that I am feeling MUCH better. Breathing better and no ill side effects. Seems it was more than likely some inflammatory response to the heartworm disease that I just completed treatment for. I will go home on a short dose of steriods but should be 100% soon. I might be checking out of this hotel as early as this afternoon if all goes well and then I'm looking for to some r&r at home. Hope foster mom and all the fur-siblings missed me.
9/13/2023 - Remy had completed heartworm treatment and has been doing well. This evening he started having some breathing difficulties and was taken to the EC. He has been admitted and medicated for comfort and is in oxygen. We will update as we know more tomorrow.
7/8/23 - Remy will start heart worm treatment on Thursday, July 13. Keep him in your prayers.
5/3/23 - I didn’t ask to be born; I didn’t ask to be homeless; and I certainly didn’t ask to be heartworm positive. But I am/was all of these things. Born because no one spayed momma. Homeless because no one wanted momma’s kids. And heartworm positive, because no one ever gave me heartworm prevention, which all dogs should receive monthly.
I guess I could either get mad and hold a grudge, or be happy that I was found and brought to Yorkie Haven Rescue. I choose the latter. I’m in a foster home now and being treated like a King… King Remy. I like the sound of that. I officially change my name to King Remy! J So, King Remy, (apparently, I’m speaking of myself in the third person now), will be neutered and have a dental cleaning (wow, do I ever need that) on May 18th and will start heartworm treatment in July. This Yorkie Haven place sure is nice to do all this for me. But King Remy is worth it!
There are other dogs in my foster home, but I’m not really a player. It might come later on, but it seems all I’m interested in right now is humping. Everyone in this household will sure be happy when I’m neutered. This wasn’t a problem when I was living on the street. Another downfall of living on the street is that there was never anyone to get attached too. So I’m not quite as clingy as I understand most yorkies are. I also don’t understand or play with toys. I’m not a huge kisser and don’t crave to be held. I don’t really bark much, but do eat very well and I'm not really scared of noises.
I’m hoping to update this bio after I’ve been neutered, had my teeth cleaned and completed heartworm treatment, to say….. that I follow my human(s) everywhere, love to be held and give kisses, play with other dogs my size, and can play with and tear up a toy like no one’s business.
Even though I cannot officially join my new family until heartworm treatment is complete, I’m taking applications now so I can get used to my last name. King Remy __________!
