Story
GULLIVER is actually a registered Biewer Terrier but the option wasnt available. They are basically smaller Yorkies but mostly white in coloring. Gulliver was born with a "wonky" back leg. At 7ish months he was surrendered to rescue. Thought to be a luxating Patella .. actually turned out to be Necrosis of Femoral Head (via specialist) THIS WAS A BETTER DIAGNOSIS :) !! As a simple FHO would fix all of his pain and issues with no reoccuring surgery needed. So now sits our sweet Gulliver. He runs and plays and snuggles with all of the doggies and people. He swipes little Lamb and Duckie toys. He is ready for a home (after his nueter). He has quickly recovered and a little jumping bean :) !!!! 1. If you are an adopter looking for a companion please email us ucarefosters@gmail.com . 2. If you are a 501c3 RESCUE looking to pull this dog and help place her- please email theucareproject@gmail.com 3. We are a small foster based rescue- please help us by fostering. We are located in Rapides Parish in Louisiana

Story
Adoption Fee: $325 Age: 6 years Weight: 9.13 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 10/23/24 – Emma and Amber are such sweethearts. They could be adopted separately, but honestly, they would do great together as they have similar, yet different personalities that balance each other out so well. Emma is submissive (but is a little more confident than Amber) and very sweet and obedient. She will come when she is called. She loves giving kisses to her humans and yearns for attention. She is in a foster home with other pups and is fine getting along with all of them. However, just like Amber, if something goes sideways, Emma definitely will exhibit her alpha side and knows how to handle herself to put the other pups in line. You know that saying, “don’t start shit, but don’t take shit”? That’s Emma. She will get in the bed at night with her humans to be rubbed on and loved on and might even sleep in the bed for a while, but ultimately, she wakes up and jumps down and sleeps in one of many places in the house. She does have that terrier hunt in her as she will chase down a squirrel, bird, lizard, frog, butterfly, etc. and think she is playing with it. That is when her obedience comes in handy. A sharp, loud “EMMA”, and she stops what she is doing and comes running. Eager to please and longing for love, this baby, and her sister, Amber, are a power couple and a joy to have. 4/14/24 -Emma has come out of her shell quite a bit since entering her foster home. She loves men and women, but would do best in a home with no children since she can be frightened with loud noises and chaotic movements. She loves sleeping in the bed with her foster mom and dad, but is also fine to go and sleep in any one of the numerous dog beds around, or the back of the sofa. Emma knows her name well and will definitely come when called. She is quite the chow hound at breakfast and supper time, but is very respectful of the other dogs’ bowls and if she goes near them while they are eating (since she finishes so fast), a quick, “No Emma”, deters her automatically. She loves to please her humans. She would do great in a home with other dogs her size, but definitely NO CATS! She is quite the hunter outside chasing birds and squirrels and even stray cats if they happen to get into the yard. She is submissive, but don’t mistake that for a pushover. She is quite the mom when she needs to put another dog in line for something, but she doesn’t start anything. Even though she isn’t your typical looking yorkie, with her longer legs and her full tail, Emma is a very beautiful girl. She has the most angelic face and is just the sweetest baby. She is such a good girl and will use the pee pads when she needs to, but will also do her business on her many trips outside. We have found out that she and Amber would do fine either being adopted together or being separated. They love each other, but they also love all the other dogs in their foster home, so if there is at least one other dog in her new home, she will be just fine. 4/14/23 - Emma, Amber and Bebe all came to YHR from the same home. Their elderly owner could not care for them any longer so surrendered them. All three are very tall, slender, have nice tails and have beautiful faces. They all thought about going into modeling, but after giving it careful consideration, figured the better path would be to join a family and be pampered, loved and retired. They all three seem to have had puppies before and show signs of uncertainness of humans, so were aren’t sure of their full background of socialization. We believe they are sisters as they are all the same age and look a lot alike. When they first arrived, they did not have any vetting done, so they received the works. Bloodwork, dental, spay, shots, heartworm test, etc. Their skin and hair were in pretty bad shape too, but good food and baths are helping the hair feel more like hair and less like hay. Emma had a lump by her private part and the doctor took a biopsy and it turns out that it was a mast cell tumor (low grade). Please don’t let this scare you off because they got it and it could never come back. She will need to be checked over and any sign of any lumps, she will need to be brought to the vet to make sure all is well. Even though they have a lot in common, they do have differences in their personalities, so we asked each of them to give you details about themselves. Hi, I’m Emma. I have the sweetest personality that you will ever come in contact with. Yep, that’s right, no one out there sweeter. You can just wrap me up and stamp “Godiva” on my back end! I’m pretty flexible too, I could just lay in your lap or sit in your arms all day without so much as a peep or follow you everywhere you walk in the house. I’ve heard that I am an absolute gem to have around and very dainty. I would rather spend all day with my people being petted and loved on. I eat great and fast; I sleep curled up next to my humans all night; I’m a very good girl to go outside and do my business (but have been seen going on the pee pad, and sometimes on a rug); I’m not a huge barker (unless the other dogs in the home bark and they need back-up); and I get along fine with other calm dogs. I don’t seem to know anything about the things called toys, but foster mom and dad are trying to teach me. I love both my foster parents, but, and please don’t tell foster mom this, but I do favor my foster dad. Aside from the fact that he is good looking and I’ve been told I look like a model, I just melt when men are sweet to me. This in no way means I cannot be a momma’s girl because I CAN! I’m sure I’d be a great only dog, but think it would be best if there were another dog or two with laid back personalities. I say this because when foster mom or dad have to leave me, I’m more comforted with friends around. However, even with fur-siblings around, if you are just outside washing the car or doing yard work, you might want to think about bringing me out with you, because if I can see you, I will whine for you and the other dogs have said I hurt their ears. I’ve learned to use the bench to get up and down in the bed to sleep at night, can jump up on the sofa for napping during the day, and am running quality check on all the dog beds in the house. But, if you are sitting, I’m sitting right beside YOU! Let’s sum me up: sweet, attractive, loyal, kind, gentle, dainty, and loving, looking for a laid back home with a dad and a mom, no young children, a fenced in back yard (doesn’t have to be large), the ability to sleep in the master bed, but have dog beds for napping, healthy food and nightly massages. Am I being too needy? Well, I’m now retired from having puppies and have gained enough confidence in my foster home to realize that I am a catch, so bring your “A” game when applying because foster mom is one of those “crazy rescue individuals”.
