Minnie's Story Meet Minnie. Minnie is a 9 year old tiny Yorkie that can in to rescue at the end of August. Minnie started life as a backyard breeding dog, then was sent to a shelter and adopted. She had been with her adoptive family for a few years before they had a baby. As the baby turned into a toddler, he was very active and Minnie became very anxious and spent most of her time in her playpen. Her family realized this was not the best enironment for Minnie so they asked us for help. It was determined that Minnie had an enlarged left side of her heart and would need to be placed on medication. Minnie is currently thriving in her new foster home. She loves car rides, playing with other dogs, snuggling in the bed, and going on adventures. She is a small girl at 6 lb. and will need to remain on heart medication. She only has 4 teeth, but eats kibble and does great. Minnie is fully vaccinated and spayed. If you would like to adopt Minnie, applications can be completed at northmeckanimalrescue.org ##2857691##

Meet Reginald “Reggie”   Meet Reginald—Reggie for short! This handsome 12-year-old Yorkie mix is a little senior gentleman who has been through more than his fair share, but he hasn’t let that stop him from loving life.   Reggie was found as a stray and came into foster care needing some extra TLC. He suffers from a severe skin allergy that caused him to lose most of the hair on his back. Our vet believes the hair will likely never grow back, but Reggie doesn’t seem to mind one bit. He proudly rocks his unique look—and honestly, we think it makes him even more special.    Despite his age, Reggie is still surprisingly active and enjoys being part of the action. He does have severe arthritis in both his back legs and shoulders, so he needs a home that understands his limitations and is willing to accommodate them. Stairs are a big no-no because when his arthritis flares up, we worry he could fall. Luckily, Reggie has decided this simply means he gets to be carried around like the little prince he is.    And what Reggie really wants most? His people. He absolutely loves being with his humans and soaking up every ounce of love and attention he can get. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who will happily keep you company and remind you that senior dogs have so much love left to give, Reggie may be your guy.   Reggie does well with other small dogs around his size, preferably 12 lbs or smaller. Larger dogs make him very nervous and intimidated, so he would do best with smaller canine companions or as your one-and-only little prince.

**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!** 10-13-26: "OLLIE WOOD from Hollywood here, and I am the star you have been looking for! If dogs had a star on the Walk of Fame, I'd be right there for sure! I am so grateful to be with this rescue, as they are helping me become a rising star in the ranks of Yorkies! You see, I once belonged to a breeder, but the man in the home did not like me, and did not treat me well, so the breeder listed me on Craigslist for free! Just giving me to anyone is scary, but a Good Samaritan rescued me from the situation and took care of me for a short time. Then as time went by, they realized they didn't have the time I needed, so here I am! The rescue took me to the Vet and I had a complete workup with blood, urinalysis, heart worm test (negative), rabies, and my vaccines. Unfortunately, due to neglect on the breeder's part, my teeth are few--I only have 3 left in my mouth, and they aren't that great! I eat wet food, and my tongue sticks out just a little bit. My neuter/chip is scheduled for Nov 6th, and I can be pre adopted, but I cannot leave until I have that done. I did really good for my bath/groom, am good with other dogs and squeaky toys, but cats I have not been around and children, I cannot say. I will be 6 years old on December 23rd, and I am a great weight at 8 pounds. Mom is helping me learn my house and crate manners, as I do not want to constantly wear a wrap. Mom is requiring CURRENT OR PREVIOUS YORKIE EXPERIENCE to be considered for adoption" "Do I sound like the rising star you'd love to have by your side? If yes, just email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for application or any questions you may have about me. For fastest response, please DO NOT call the number on here, email, as the emails are constantly monitored!" "Till we meet, I await anxiously!!" Love, OLLIE WOOD

Age: 10 years Weight: 7 lbs. Adoption Fee: $200 Fostered in Indian Trail, North Carolina Email: yorkiemommync@yahoo.com 8/22/25 - Bruno is doing well. He still has lots of energy and loves to play with his toys. He loves it when his foster mom chases him with a toy in his mouth or throws the toy for him. We have been dealing with some GI issues for Bruno but are moving in the right direction to make him feel better. He is on meds for protein in his urine and is on a low-fat veterinary diet and other meds to help with throwing up and diarrhea. He has regular checks with his internal medicine doctor and we are monitoring his bloodwork closely because some metrics are off and need to be managed. 9/16/24 - Bruno's skin condition has been in remission for over a year. He no longer takes any medication for his skin. He is just on supplements for his joints since his hips are not the best. He is very sensitive to the food he eats and can get runny poo very quickly, but his foster mom has found a food that is working and he has no longer had any poo issues. He still loves to play with toys and likes to be chased, he crawls under blankets to nap, and unfortunately still has to wear a belly band because he will pee on anything at any time. He still always looks so happy and excited too. 11/30/22 – Today we found out Bruno has an autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Erythematosus that is causing all his skin issues. His dermatologist is going to start him on high dose steroids for two weeks to try and get it in remission as quickly as possible so we can back down and get him ready to have his torn ACL repaired. He will also be going on a medication called Mycophenolate for the autoimmune disease, and that will likely be for the rest of his life to keep it in remission. He is still going to physical therapy weekly and is still not too thrilled with the hydro treadmill. He just does not want to use his back legs to walk while in it. Might just take more time and hopefully once we can get the torn ACL repaired it will get even better. Despite all he has going on, he is still so happy and loving! He gets to spend more time out of the crate now that he is six weeks post hip surgery. Thank you to everyone for their prayers and support for Bruno! 11/2/22 – Bruno had his hip surgery on 10/18. We have been doing his exercises at home, but unfortunately he is not using the leg like he should, so we will be starting with physical therapy on 11/4. We are hopeful this will help to get the leg moving the way it should and build up some more muscle as it feels like he has lost even more muscle mass in that leg. He still needs the ACL repair to happen, but the skin needs to be figured out first. Bruno has also seen the dermatologist and she initially thought his skin issues were from an antibiotic resistant staph infection, but he has had two negative cultures. She is now thinking it could possibly be an auto immune disease, even though she did not see the cells she usually sees when doing a skin scrape in the office. We are spraying him with a topical antibiotic/steroid spray and medicated baths every 3 days. We have a skin biopsy tentatively scheduled for 11/15. We need to get the infection cleared up more before doing a biopsy otherwise it could skew the results. Poor Bruno has so much going on, but even through all of it he is so happy and loving. He will just stare lovingly into your eyes and snuggle into you. 10/12/22 - Bruno went in yesterday and was neutered and had his dental done. After dental x-rays were done, it was found that he had major bone loss around several teeth and the start of bone loss around others. Given they were so bad, as we suspected, he had to have the remaining teeth he had removed. He is doing good with no teeth and ate some food last night and breakfast this morning. The dogtor said as he was under anesthesia and she wiggled a few of the teeth his blood pressure would go up, meaning she could tell they were painful to him. His mouth should feel so much better now. We also went to see the specialist last week as his leg has become worse being on crate rest. It was decided that he will go in on 10/18 for an FHO on his worst hip and if his skin is much better at that time she will also fix the torn ACL. He cannot have any infection for that repair, so we are crossing our fingers. If not, he will have to go in when his skin is cleared up and have the ACL repair. He has been battling the skin issues since December 2021 when his savior took him out of the bad situation. The dogtor suspects it is still flea dermatitis. His skin is better, but not good enough. The hip surgery is estimated to be around $2500 right now. Despite all his ailments he is still such a happy and loving little guy. 9/21/22 – Bruno is a happy go lucky little man that you can just see the smile on his face. He loves belly rubs, lots of affection, and loves to play with toys now that he knows how to. He did not have a great start to his life by living the first years of his life in a building with several other yorkies that were just given food and water a couple of times a day and not having all the love and attention they deserved. A wonderful lady went to help his original owner clean up all the dogs and convinced her to let her take two of the pups in December 2021. When his savior brought him home he had fleas, was not using his back leg, and had a bad rash. She worked very hard to make him feel better. Due to her own health, she unfortunately had to surrender him, which is how he came to YHR. We are still working on clearing up his rash, his bloodwork is slowly improving, but he has very bad teeth that need to be cleaned. He is scheduled for his dental and neuter on 10/12. We saw the specialist today regarding his limping and lameness in his left back leg. He does have bilateral hip arthritis, restricted mobility in both hips, but he also has a torn ACL in he left knee. He is going on crate rest for about 4 weeks to see if he can build scar tissue to naturally heal it and try to avoid surgery. If that does not work, then he will need surgery to repair it. Once we get that fixed, then we will see if his mobility gets better and if not, he may need surgery on the hip to give him mobility. With the issues with the back legs, he does put more pressure on his front legs and sometimes limps on the front legs, but x-rays show there are no issues with the front legs. Bruno really is just the happiest little guy we have seen in a while. He looks like he is smiling a lot of the time. He does great riding in the car and has been doing so in a doggy car seat. His crate rest will be in a stroller, which he does not mind either. He went for a stroll last weekend in the stroller and did great. Given he is older and was never neutered nor trained to go potty outside because he peed where he lived, he does mark a lot. That likely will not change given his age, so he may need to remain in a belly band, which he is great with too. He has lost some muscle mass in his backend, so the bellybands will slip off his hips, but suspenders have worked great to keep it in place. We are not sure about him likely to cuddle given the pain he is dealing with in his knee and hips, so hopefully when that all gets fixed we can see if he is a cuddle bug too.

Age: 7 years Weight: 6 lbs. Adoption Fee: $300.00 Fostered in Indian Trail, North Carolina Email: yorkiemommync@yahoo.com 6/26/25 - We are still working through Harley's skin issues. Her skin culture showed she has a very resistant staph infection and there is only one antibiotic that will work. It may cause GI issues, but so far it has been ok. She also had an allergy test, and she is allergic to several grasses, trees, mold, dust mites, and storage mites, so things that are all over the place. We are going to try allergy shots, but they will be drops under the tongue instead of a shot. It can take a year to two years to see a difference with the allergy drops. She has stopped throwing up, so the GI medicine she is on is helping that. It is possible she may have GERD, which is why she just throws up without warning or heaving or anything, it just comes right out without any warning. Harley is getting more and more comfortable and her personality is showing more everyday. She can be quite vocal when you are not going fast enough to get her meal done, or at strangers that come over if another dog barks at them. She loves going for rides in the car and does great in her console car seat. She loves laying in the sun like her foster sister Harper. 4/14/25 - Harley came to YHR because her mom was moving and her medical issues were getting to be too much. Harley has some significant skin issues and itching and throws up occasionally. Her skin issues have caused some of her skin to turn black around her eyes, all over her backend, and her back ankles. Because of her itching, she does have to wear a cone occasionally otherwise she scratches until she bleeds. She will be seeing the dogtor this week, so more to come!! Other than her medical issues, she is opening up and is very sweet. She has been fine with all the other pups and has been very patient with her baths.
