Story
PLEASE READ: To be considered, please complete the online adoption application on our website at http://www.floridayorkierescue.com Puff; a gorgeous Maltese, weighs 8 lbs. and is 12 years old. His owner died. He was a very spoiled little boy. His hair is gorgeous. Unfortunately he lost all of his teeth with age but does handle tiny kibble and soft food exceptionally well. He is up to date on Rabies vaccination and has been neutered and microchipped. He does have a very tiny growth on his eyelid that does not seem to be a problem for him. He is a quiet boy and a hugger. He is not housebroken and never was as he originally came from a breeding kennel. The previous owner used disposable belly wraps and they are exceptionally easy to use. He will poop outside or on the pee wee pads if he is confined. He will not tolerate a crate. He tolerates other dogs just fine but is not a dog that plays with toys. If interested please complete the online adoption application on our website at http://www.floridayorkierescue.com Florida Yorkie Rescue, Inc. floridayorkierescue@yahoo.com We are located in Palm City, Martin County. We DO NOT have a public facility. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 12.

Hi, my name is Matthew. A nice man found me as a stray. I’m a sweet, tiny pup. Although I'm a bit older, I still have plenty of spunk! I am looking for a family who will spend a lot of time with me at home. Please give me a home for my golden years. Adopt me!

Story
Rio Is 12 Years 8 Months and 10lbs I have had him for 5 years now I adopted him in 2020 He is a loving, sweet and only sour when it comes to changing his diaper (2 Years Now) Other than that he just wants to be around, he doesnt like to be alone, so he would be great for someone that works from home He currently wears diapers because he Is like a baby all over again, I took him to the vet he has perennial hernias. Ive just been trying to love him through it but I know he needs TLC. Im trying to find him a new home to prevent the choice of surrendering him to the Humane Society for Treatment or Letting Him Go. The fee is just to make sure he goes to a capable home but can be lowered

Story
****IMPORTANT INFO - PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING**** 🧚‍♀️✨ Meet Tinkerbelle ✨🧚‍♀️ 1 year old | 15 lbs | Small breed mix Tinkerbelle is a tiny spark of joy wrapped in silky white fur with hints of apricot. While her exact breed is unknown, she appears to be a mix of Poodle, Maltese, Havanese, or Coton de Tulear — a perfect blend of fluffy, fun, and adorable 🧚 She is spunky, playful, and full of happy energy, but she’s also a total cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. 💕 She doesn’t mind being dressed up, loves toys and bones, and gets along wonderfully with all people and all dogs. *IMPORTANT*: We do want to be completely transparent — Tinkerbelle is a digger and an escape artist. Because of this, she needs a very secure home and a “helicopter” dog parent who takes safety seriously. She was trapped in Georgia before coming to us after being on the run for months and then was adopted, instructions weren't followed and she escaped again on the 3rd day. We trapped her a 2nd time. It is unlikely that she will fall for a trap again, so we need a seriously diligent dog parent. One who is actually terrified of their dog getting loose and killed. A lot of people take that lightly, but we need the person who is paranoid. No sugarcoating here — she’s worth the extra diligence! The good stuff: 🧚‍♂️ Crate trained 🧚‍♂️ House trained 🧚‍♂️ Listens well 🧚‍♂️ Loves playtime, toys, and wrestling 🧚‍♂️ Social, affectionate, and FUN The safest home options for her are: - An apartment or townhome where she is always leashed outside, ideally with access to a secure dog park for supervised play. - A home with a solid fenced yard that has dig-proof reinforcement installed along the entire perimeter. She is very sweet, but will only go to an adult home without kids so that no one lets her out. She would LOVE another dog to play with and someone who works from home if possible. 📍 Fostered in Clearwater, FL 💉 Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped & heartworm negative 💲 Adoption fee: $400 ➡️ Application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt Tinkerbelle is a special little survivor who just needs the right setup to thrive. If you’re looking for a lively, loving companion and can provide a secure home, she may be your perfect match. 💖🐶
