Rilie

Rilie has found her forever home. Thanks to Dakota for giving her a loving home and lots of belly rubs. She had a visit to the pet store and picked out a squeaky unicorn and dog chew. She went to a doggy birthday party and met 5 dogs and had a fun time. Rilie is getting to know Washington, DC and Dakotas house - she knows which direction to go from the dog park and on her walks (a work in progress). She loves to get Dakotas attention to be picked up for attention with her little bark. Congratulations Rilie!!!

Hot Coco

They say timing is everything and that was certainly the case in finding a forever home for Hot Coco (now Sultan). He had over 100 inquiries but wasn't 100% ready for adoption until just recently. And it wasn't until just recently that we came across the ideal family for him—Alexis, Mike, and Starbuck. Knowing Sultan's fear of meeting new people and dogs, we did initial introductions outside on neutral ground. There was a huge sigh of relief as the pups gave each other a friendly sniff, and once inside, Sultan welcomed everyone into his kingdom. He and Starbuck were soon playing on the couch and living room floor while we chatted with Alexis and Mike. Sultan responded well to his new parents walking him when we all went back outside, and at that point it was clear he was ready to leave the nest for his forever home. He was a little clingy towards us as we went over his paperwork (it's like he knew something was happening!) But we put on our brave faces, gave him many hugs and said goodbye—for now. We hope to meet up at a SAY event or set up a playdate in the future! This was our first "success" after "failing" with our first foster, Willy. We're so glad we had the chance to help Sultan with both his socialization and medical issues. He has grown so much over the past 3 months and we know he will continue to thrive with Alexis, Mike, and Starbuck. Congratulations Hot Coco!!!

Arlo

Arlo was so excited! He kept running back and forth between the Drescher’s. When our dogs wanted some attention from them , Arlo pushed himself in front of the pack, as if saying” they are mine” . I will be follow up up them tomorrow and we are planning a play date with Arlo at the end of next week at the Drescher’s home.When it was time to go, we walked him outside and he jumped into their back seat and into his doggie car seat! Congratulations Arlo!!!

Jamie

Jaime Louise has found her furever home with new mom Arlene and sister Cookie! Arlene fell in love with Jaime's photo on the SAY website and once she was approved as an adopter, drove 4 hours to meet Jaime. To say that Arlene was happy to have Jaime would not adequately describe Arlene's reaction. Jaime's little tail wagging a mile a minute conveyed her like of Arlene's adoration. Jaime suffers from separation anxiety and Arlene takes her babies with her wherever she goes. Jaime has a new home where she will indeed be spoiled rotten and happy. Congratulations Jamie!!!

O'Grady

O'Grady here - I have some great news, I have been adopted and found my forever home! After several weeks of constant communication and nervousness, Bob and Leah finally made the trek to Delaware to meet me! It wasn’t easy though, as there was an overturned tractor trailer on I-95 and a 2.5-hour delay to meet me! There would be nothing that was getting in the way of joining us together. I was waiting anxiously at the bark park for my new parents and my brothers Oscar and Moyer to arrive. When they finally arrived, we did some heavy playing and running around, and Bob and Leah fell in love with me. I knew they would, as I am cute as a button! After about an hour of playing and chatting, my foster dad left me with my new parents, and we started our 2-hour ride to my new home! I slept on Dad's lap the entire way home! I would like to thank Save-A-Yorkie Rescue for taking me in and finding me both a temporary and permanent home. I would not have had a safe and enjoyable life without the organization and their great volunteers! And a special thanks to Bob and Leah for checking out my page and bringing me home! Warm regards, O'Grady - Congratulations O'Grady!!!
