Story
Hi, there are two yorkies that are full bread brothers but have no official paperwork. These are my little buddies for the last 13 years. They are very chill except for visitors they don’t recognize. They still like to play and sleep on your lap. They have been wonderful dogs and we are sad to rehome them, but know it’s for the best. We have done recently discovered allergies and 3 children to tend to. Would love to send them to someone who has the ability to give them some attention & care.

Story
My name is Lily, and I am 4.5 years old. I am the happiest dog you've ever met. I am E-N-E-R-G-E-T-I-C. I am always up to play fetch and to run outside - but I am also always up to a good couch/bed snuggles. My new happy home won't have any young children or other pets. As much as I love playing with everyone, other folks make me jealous because they can get more attention than I do. I need a family that will devote their time to me - and only me because I am enough and the best company EVER! Fireworks get my attention, and I need my humans close to keep me company. I get afraid of weird noises (like chirping from the smoke detector or sudden noises) - but as long as I have my humans close by, I won't fear, shake, or cry. Also, don't greet me with boxes, tools, or any weird objects in your hands: I will bark (because I need you to put them down, pet me, I know the basics: sit and wait for my food, lie down, and shake. I will be your new best friend forever!

NAME: Rosie COLOR: Beige, gray, tan B’DAY: Dec. 2020 TEMPMENT: Energenic WEIGHT: 55 lbs HUMANS: Good; CHILDREN: Over 12 yrs and respectful to animals PETS: good with cats and dogs VETTING: Fully vetted, HW neg and spayed CONTACT: Silverrescue@gmail.com Rosie is a sweet girl. She loves everyone. Because she is so loving we don't really understand why she keeps being overlooked. Rosie is happiest when she can be her person’s shadow, working in the garden, going for a walk in the park, riding in the car to the feedstore or the car mechanic. She’s never been in a canoe. Wouldn’t that be nice. She just wants to be with her person. That’s all. She's also good with dogs and cats. She reads situations well and quickly adjusts and respects her fellow pet companions. She loves children but they must be over 12 to withstand her exuberance when she wants to hug them. Rosie has been through obedience school and knows her basic commands of come, sit, stay, down, leave it and no through she loses focus when something exciting happens. Her vetting is up to date, heartworm negative and spayed. She is crate trained and house and pottie trained. Rosie will be adopted to an inside forever home only. Family must own home. No rentals please. Fence required. If she is to be a companion to another dog it should be a male dog. We require personal and vet references and a homevisit. The adoption fee of $250 is used to save the next abandoned pet like Rosie. For Rosie’s application please contact SilverRescue@gmail.com

She loves going for walks and play with dogs whose company she enjoys. She is probably to playful for cats so we don't recommend her to be adopted to cats. She loves her people and just wants to be with them above all. Children should be 12 yrs old or older because she's just a little to active for small children. Layla lives well in her foster home but she is ready for her own forever family. We are looking for an inside forever home. Must own home. No rentals please. Fence required. Application process includes: application, references, vet checks, home check. Adoption donation of $250 will be used to help other dogs in need.
