Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. At just 6 months old, Wright has already come a long way! What started as a rough beginning has turned into a beautiful transformation. This sweet boy has blossomed into a happy, playful, and affectionate puppy who is ready to find his forever family! Wright loves spending his days romping around with his brothers, Jones and Frank, getting into typical puppy shenanigans, and then curling up for a well-deserved nap. When he's not busy playing, he's looking for someone to shower him with attention and affection! And can we talk about those adorable little legs?! Wright appears to have some 'low rider' breed mixed in, giving him an extra dose of cuteness with his shorter legs and longer body! Wright is ready to leave his rough past behind and start his next chapter with a family who will love him as much as he'll love them. He's got plenty of puppy energy, a heart full of love, and a whole lot of personality packed into those little legs! Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at...diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.   Please email us at  diane@ulpr.org  and request an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2026, 11:58 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Frank, a 6-month-old bundle of cuteness who is convinced that life is meant for playing, snuggling, and making new friends! Frank and his brothers, Jones and Wright, came into rescue from an overcrowded property, but those days are behind them! Frank is making up for lost time by enjoying all the things a puppy should—wrestling with his brothers, exploring his surroundings, and finding the perfect spot to crash when his puppy battery runs out.  We suspect Frank has a little low-rider breed in his family tree, and those adorable short legs just make him that much more irresistible! But there's more to Frank than his cute looks. He's a loving boy who enjoys human attention just as much as playtime. He's ready for a family who will teach him new things, include him in their adventures, and show him what being a cherished family member is all about. Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Kathy (kathymsayrescue@gmail.com), (609) 634-8212 for more information about this pet. Scroll down to see more pictures of this dog. Kalipso is available for adoption. She is 7 years old and weighs 7 lbs. Her adoption fee is $650.00. Meet Kalipso For seven years, Kalipso was the cherished companion of a loving woman who recently passed away. Her mom gave her a wonderful life filled with love, comfort, and lots of toys. Although she has been through significant changes recently, Kalipso continues to greet each day with a wag of her beautiful plume-like tail and a good appetite. Many kind and dedicated people at Save A Yorkie Rescue have worked hard to help her navigate this transition and prepare for her forever home. Kalipso may be small in size, but once she has had time to settle into her new home and build trust with her family, her strong, curious, and determined personality begins to shine. When she first arrives, she can be scared, timid, and nervous as she adjusts to unfamiliar surroundings. With patience, understanding, and love, she blossoms into an energetic little girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings and taking an interest in everything around her. She rides beautifully in the car, sleeps peacefully through the night, eats all her meals, and has good house manners. She uses pee pads and will also happily go outside when taken on walks. Having been an only dog her entire life, we believe Kalipso would thrive as the only pet in her new home. She enjoys being the center of attention and would love a family where she can receive all the love, affection, and companionship she deserves. If you are looking for a loyal, spirited, and loving companion, Kalipso may be the perfect little girl for you. She is ready to begin the next chapter of her life with a family who will cherish her as much as she cherished her beloved mom.  Kalipso is staying with Kathy in Voorhees, NJ.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2026, 11:58 pm

Story
Jagger is my name and jibbin/jaggin is my game! Yep, I've got the moves fur sure! Weather i'm kickin up my paws with a case of ZOOMIES or playin chase with my doggie pals, this boy knows how ta have a GOOD TIME! They tell me I'm an Anatolian Shepherd mix, which means I've still got some growin ta do! Got a little extra skin ta fill out and chances are I'll be a BIG HANDSOME fella someday. But hey, who knows just how big? One thing fur certain, everybody keeps tellin me I'm TRULY A LOOKER! And who am I ta argue? Wink, wink:)  My story didn't start out all sunshine and tail wags, ya see I was found wanderin as a stray in WV and ended up in a High Kill Shelter. The shelter folks coudn't fur the life of em figure out why nobody came looking, I mean "SOMEONE" must ta loved me once! I was taught ta sit and take treat "OH, SO GENTLY!" Ya'd think a handsome hunk like me woulda been a keeper!  Molly's Place got word, took one look and I was a DONE DEAL! Punched my ticket to PA. Having passed the "CAT TEST at the pound, I've also shown ta be good with other doggies in play. Humans? Oh boy, I love, Love, LOVE their attention fur sure. Now I gotta be honest, I'm still a youngin... have puppy energy, so little kiddos may accidentally get bowled over with my enthusiasm, so best older kiddos fur me!  So that's my scoop, I'm a handsome, fun-lovin, zoomie powered boy who does settle down for Loving with their person!
