5/30/26 - Amber & Emma are still waiting in their foster home. They aren't complaining—they're happy, loved, and well cared for. But they know they're only passing through, and finding their forever family would open up space for other Yorkies in need. We know adopting two dogs at once can feel like a big commitment. We also know these girls aren't puppies anymore. But we can honestly say you won't find two sweeter companions. And when we say sweet, we mean sweet. You may want to make sure your dental insurance is up to date. They are professionals at giving and receiving kisses. They absolutely love affection.
Emma enjoys sleeping in the big bed, although not usually all night. Amber may join you for a bit, but she's more likely to retreat to the sofa to sleep. Both girls have great appetites and do very well with potty pads and outdoor potty breaks, with only the occasional accident. They are quiet, gentle, and incredibly ladylike. Even the way they settle down is delicate and graceful. They love being loved on, but when you pick them up, you can tell they weren't handled much in the past because they become awkward and aren't quite sure what to do with their legs.
The one thing that isn't delicate about either of them is their opinion of cats. They are firmly anti-cat and have a strong prey drive when it comes to lizards, squirrels, and other small critters. Once they spot one, it’s on!
Amber and Emma adore each other and share many of the same personality traits. Emma is clearly the leader, while Amber is happy to follow her sister's lead. Neither girl goes looking for trouble, but they also won't back down from a dog that starts it. The best way to describe them is simple: they are two hearts that beat as one. They complement each other perfectly and bring out the best in one another. Double the love and double the reason to make room in your heart and home for Amber and Emma.
3/20/26 - We just received the results from Emma's mass removal that was sent off. It was benign and was just a complex adenoma. We are so excited!! Happy Friday Everyone!
3/17/26 - Emma had surgery Friday (3/13/26) to have the masses removed on her belly and her teeth cleaned. They sent them off and will let us know as soon as the results are back.
3/10/26 - Emma was at the vet at the end of last week because her foster mom felt some nodules/masses on her belly area. She had these when she first came into rescue and they were surgically removed and sent off and all was fine. She is scheduled for this Friday to get the masses removed once again and send them off for a biopsy and get her teeth cleaned at the same time.
5/26/25 - Whew! Amber and I have been so busy lately, we didn’t realize how long it’s been since we updated everyone about us. We are, of course, still up for adoption. We would like to be adopted together. We originally came from the same home and have been fostered in the same foster home for so long now, it would hard to go anywhere without my sister. We are so much alike in so many different ways. We are both very loving and absolutely love to give kisses. This is a must in our new home that we be able to kiss our new mom and dad.
We would do better without any small children around. We are very quick, so around open doors, you have to be very careful so as not to let us out. We can be very fast and are very curious. Although, we do focus on pleasing foster mom and dad. We are very good in the potty department. We will use pee pads and go outside. We aren’t the best when at the groomer, but nevertheless, she can still get the job done and we are good for our weekly bath and blow-dry at home. We eat like champs and are ready to go to bed at whatever time you like. Both of us like to get in the human bed, but when it’s time to go to sleep, my sister Amber goes to sleep on the back of the sofa. I guess she needs more room to herself. I will sleep in the human bed, but will sometimes go join my sister in the middle of the night.
We have never met anyone that doesn’t love both of us. Everyone always comments on how sweet and gentle we are. Our one main fault is that we HATE cats. Don’t want them living in our house and don’t even want any stray ones anywhere around our yard. We are full-on terriers when it comes to the kitties.
We are thinking that 2025 will be our year that someone will get lucky and want us to join their family. Is that you?
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”.
