Harper

Harper was adopted this morning and is at this minute in the car on the way to his new home. I'm sure all of you who foster know how we are feeling today, deeply sad and extremely happy that Harper is headed with the right people to his new forever home. Harper will be living with Sarah Clemens and Neil Becker and Archie a 3-year-old Schnauzer poodle mix in Maplewood, New Jersey. In the past Sarah and Neil forever fostered two different elderly Yorkies, who understandably ignored Archie. This time around they wanted a playmate for Archie and they've got one! We tried to take a video of Harper and Archie chasing each other in the backyard but they ran way too fast. It looks like they're going to be great pup Brothers. Bon voyage, Harper! We will miss you. Congratulations Harper!!!

Luna

Luna got to meet her new Mom and Dad today and it went very well. She went to them right away and I can see that she will enjoy playing with her new dad. They already sent me a video of him down on the floor playing with Luna. Luna is such a sweet little girl and it was a bittersweet day. We really enjoyed fostering her but we know that she is going to have a great life living in northern Virginia. They have a beautiful yard that they recently had fenced in for her and I’m sure she will love playing in it. Congratulations to Deb, Bill and Luna!!!

Sully

Sully is such a special boy who has truly blossomed into the best version of himself. As some of you may know, Sully was moved to my house to be fostered so he could undergo behavioral training. He was uncomfortable and untrusting of just about everyone and everything in his life. We didn’t know much about his background since he was brought into rescue as a stray. He struggled immensely but Save a Yorkie Rescue had hope that we could help this guy be the best dog that he can be! I was instructed to not have him advertised or on the website until I was confident that he had changed his behaviors and was a safe dog to adopt out. After a couple months of consistent training and trust building, I was happy to announce that he was ready to be put on the website. Kelsie and Pat saw this the very next morning and immediately reached out to me. That was fast! We had a great conversation about all the training Sully has been through and they were confident that they could take this on. We scheduled a Meet & Greet and everything was absolutely perfect! Sully snuggled right up to Pat on the floor and was on his back getting belly rubs practically the whole time. It was safe to say that Kelsie and Pat fell in love with Sully, and Sully fell in love with them! I had previously mentioned to them that Sully likes all the red toys in my house and they were sweet enough to bring him a red toy. Kelsie and Pat asked if I’d be able to hold onto Sully for an extra two weeks because they were traveling and wanted Sully to have a smooth transition where they could consistently be there for him. Given Sully’s history and how awesome he was with them, we could not say no! Plus, it gave me an extra two weeks to savor my Sully-time before he was off to his forever home. Sure enough, two weeks later, Kelsie and Pat swung by on their way home from their travels to pick him up. Sully was just as happy to see them again and he trotted off into their car with no problem! As they drove off, Sully and I made eye contact from the window and all I could do was just wish him the best of luck on this new chapter of his life. This is when the tears started flowing, of course. I am so happy for and proud of him for overcoming such a challenging behavioral issue so that he can live the rest of his life in happiness and peace. I will truly miss him and he will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you Kelsie and Pat for giving this boy the second chance at life that he deserves! Congratulations Sully!!!

Wispy Willow

Wispy Willow joined our home a little over two weeks ago as a foster. She stole our hearts the moment we met her. She arrived as a shy dog, afraid of humans and dogs. She made visible progress every day and now seeks out our Corgi to play, and her parents for pets and a lap to sit on. She gets along well with our elderly dog and knows how to leave him be and develop boundaries. Her enthusiasm and eagerness to discover the world are contagious, which is why it only took us a few days to start the adoption proceedings. Congratulations Wispy Willow!!!
