ResourcesVolunteer with Save A Yorkie!Love Yorkies? Want to help them when they need your help? Join us we need your help! How can YOU save a Yorkie? Speak up, and volunteer with us! What we all need more than anything, even more than money, are foster homes! A foster home is a temporary safe haven for a rescued dog. It is the most crucial yet scarce ingredient in animal rescue! The more available foster homes, the more pets we are able to rescue. For the dogs in animal control facilities, a shortage of space means death! Fostering is a home where a small scared dog can rest up after being in a shelter until it can go to its forever home. Yes, it takes a special person to be able to take in a dog, especially an older dog, but the alternative is that they have NO home to stay in. It is unthinkable to us to let a little Yorkie stay in a shelter with huge barking dogs all around him for a moment longer than necessary when there are good families who are waiting to adopt a Yorkie. If you think you would like to learn about becoming a foster home, please call us. And you will see not only that you can literally help save a Yorkie, but also that you'll have fun having a Yorkie in the house. See "Fostering" on this website for more information. If you cannot adopt one of our Yorkies or foster, but want to help, there are so many ways you can be a part of saving lives! TransportWe can always use help with transporting dogs, usually from a shelter to a foster home. If you think you would like to help with transport, please contact Save A Yorkie with the areas you are able to transport to/from. Home VisitorIf you belong to another rescue or work at a shelter, we can always use your help conducting home visits. If you are able to help with home visits, please email with the areas in which you are able to help. CraftingIf you are experienced at sewing, knitting, painting, sculpting, jewelry making, crocheting or any other craft, please email Kathy Moore at kathymsayrescue@gmail.com or Donna Waggner at papawaggs@yahoo.com to volunteer your help!
