Story
Adoption Fee: $375 Age: 4 years Weight: 7.5 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 5/26/25 - Shelby isn’t making much progress coming out of her shell. Her previous life absolutely took a toll on her. The one saving grace is that she is 50% better than she was in the beginning and eats good and goes outside great now without being scared of the threshold of the door going out or in. She co-exists fine with the other dogs, but does not interact with them. She does watch them for cues on things that normal dogs are used to doing. She still has a ways to go, but we are just proud of her for being able to get where she is now. 2/5/24 - Shelby has completed heartworm treatment and has tested negative. She is a new woman ready to look at applications. 1/7/24 -Ok, I’ll just start off by letting you know that I realize that I am not the most adoptable pup in the world. I really have a fear of humans right now. Some have really worked me over in my lifetime and it’s just not that easy letting my guard down. My sister, Molly, and I were locked in cages since we were puppies. We produced litter after litter to make money for greedy people. We had no contact with humans except to be treated badly which has resulted in our total fear. We also were never brought to the vet, or given heartworm prevention, which has resulted in both Molly and I being heartworm positive. We have started our treatment and received our second round on December 28th. We are doing well for now and not having any complications thank goodness. We are used to our foster mom now, but still don’t like to be picked up by her or anyone. And if anyone new comes over, we will run and hide or freeze in one spot. Seems like it should be easy for us to forget our past when people are trying so hard to be nice and talk sweet to us, but it doesn’t work that way. I’m sure after a long-term relationship with VERY understanding and VERY patient parents, I’ll figure out that you aren’t wanting to hurt me and I’ll come around. Now dogs are a different story. They seem to be my safe haven. So, if you want to adopt me, you must have another dog(s). I also would not hate it if you wanted to adopt Molly and I together, but we can go separately. It’s not that I play with the other dogs, but I need them for comfort, guidance and learning. Since Molly and I have been in our foster home, the other dogs have taught us that the threshold of the back door isn’t scary, so we follow the others in now instead of darting from corner to corner in the back yard. However, I sometimes resort back and want to stay outside and foster mom has to act like she is shutting the door on me to convince me to come in. They are also teaching us when it is breakfast and supper time. We all get excited at this time! Pee pads are another thing we’ve learned. We will also go outside, but still make mistakes. I haven’t graduated to sleeping in the human bed. Molly and I usually sleep together in a dog bed/or on a comforter on the floor in the bedroom where everyone else sleeps. I absolutely love toys and play with them alot. We had another foster in our home recently and she taught me to tear all the toys up, so now that is what I do. But I still love them. I am more scared of things than Molly is. I'm not brave enough to want foster mom to pick me up and definitely don't go up for any pets. I will need a very secure back yard since walking on a harness and leash scare the dickens out of me. I am a knee-jerk reactor and if given the opportunity, would bolt away. In a way, both Molly and I have sweet, but feral personalities. We don’t like it and aren’t proud of it. Foster mom tells us that there are people out there that will still be interested in loving us and giving us all the time in the world to trust and love. We sure hope she is right, but for now, she and her other dogs are doing a really good job of helping us learn this outside world that seems so large and scary. I know what you’re thinking, “Why adopt this dog, she’s hopeless”. Well, this is your chance to really “adopt” and “rescue” a poor lost soul that will in time come around and is literally the meaning of “a diamond in the rough”. I might not greet you at the door with tag wags and licks, I won’t cuddle up next to you on the sofa to watch a movie, and my eyes are usually very wide open like a deer in headlights, but I really deserve another chance at a life that was stolen from me at the hands of inhumane people.

Debo is a male yorkie/shih tzu who was born about 7/2017. He is neutered, up to date on shots and heart worm negative. Debo gets along well with other dogs and cats, but would do best in a home without small children. Debo was saved from doggy jail before his number was up. He is a playful little guy who wants a home to call his own.

Story
Adoption Fee: $250 Age: 8 years Weight: 6 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 7/30/25 - Lexi's visit with Internal Medicine at CAVS showed that Lexi is in the early stage of renal disease. She will need to stay on the medicine she is currently on, Benazapril, and stay on her diet of K/D soft and hard mixed. Thank goodness, she LOVES it. With aging, comes medical issues. This is true in humans and animals alike. However, that does not discount the life we have left. Lexi is a vibrant, intelligent, sweetheart of a lady that has as many years left as we all do... Unknown. She definitely does not act or feel as if anything is wrong, so we are not about to tell her any different. With that being said, the only upkeep to stay on top of her condition will be bi-yearly bloodwork, checking the protein in her urine, her creatinine and her albumin levels. Show me a human that does not go to the doctor a little more for preventative check-ups as they get older. Lexi loves the other pups in her foster home, but isn't much on playing. She just loves to cuddle with them. She would like a more calm house that focuses on the kids with four furry legs and enjoys the day going outside when it isn't too hot and watching tv with her foster mom and fur-siblings.' Sleeping in human bed is a must and 100% unconditional love and affection from her humans is a must. Look at that face and tell us that she can't be picky on choosing her next home! 7/21/25 - Lexi was surrendered to YHR because her owners were displaced and could not take care of her any longer. On her initial vet visit, she was very anemic (but was covered with fleas, so that could have been the problem) and her blood and urine testing indicated possible kidney issues. She was started on a kidney diet and Benazapril and showed only mild improvement; so she is being referred to an Internal Med Specialist at Capital Area Veterinary Associates. We are still accessing Lexi's personality and will definitely update soon on her likes, dislikes and her medical status, but for now, we do know that she is an angel. She loves attention, loves to sleep in bed with her owners, eats great, might make a mistake here and there, but for the most part, does her business outside and has a very happy disposition. She doesn't play with any of the other pups in her foster home, but none of them seem to bother her.

Story
Adoption Fee: $400 Age: 3.5 years Weight: 15.2 lbs. Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA Email: bryorkiemom@yahoo.com 11/5/25 - BIO COMING SOON! 11/9/25 - Hi, my name is Sarge and I was surrendered by my family when they realized they made a jump decision in getting me and then did not have time for me. It’s really sad when you think about it. Getting something and then just discarding it like its feelings, safety and life do not matter, all because someone did not think seriously about a decision before they made it. Well, I’m thinking seriously about the family that I choose. See, this time, I have a voice in this choice. So, I guess I need to tell you a little about myself. As I said, my name is Sarge and I am a happy, boisterous, loving, smiling, playing, exploring, existence of a four-legged companion. I’m always up for anything. You want to go walking? Let’s go! Down for a snack and nap? Right up my alley. Want to snuggle in with some popcorn and a movie? Now, you’re talking my language. Want to just go sit in the backyard and enjoy the sunshine and watch the leaves fall from trees? I’m your man. Basically, I’m a 100% all around easy snuggle bunny of a pet. I love sleeping in bed with my humans, I eat with no problem, I’m friendly with all people I meet, I walk well on a harness and leash, I’m not barker, normal inside noises don’t rattle me, I take any medicine fine with a pill pocket and I’m not annoyingly clingy like most yorkies are. I’m not a jumper, so I will need assistance getting on and off the chair, sofa and bed. Foster mom says this is a good thing since I won’t tear an ACL jumping. Low key confession, I probably would jump if I wasn’t overweight. There, I said it. I’m husky, fat, vertically challenged, heavy!! I’m working on it though. I’m trying to eat less, although that’s hard, because I am a chow hound. I’m in a foster home with other dogs smaller than I am. I’m fine with other dogs my size, larger than me and cats. But I will say that the longer I’m here, I get more attached to my foster mom and can try to throw my weight around by growling at the others at times. Mainly during feeding time. So, I will need a parent that will not put up with my jealously and another dog friend that will put me in my place wouldn’t hurt. I’m pretty good with my potty habits, but foster mom has pee pads, so my next home will need those. I won’t lie, mistakes do happen, but no one is perfect. I might pick up a toy here and there, but I don’t play with them. Maybe later I’ll learn that they are fun. So, that’s my story. What’s yours??
