Madee

One day I get a call from Sharon our Foster Coordinator "we have a female foster, are you able to foster?" Yes I replied! And into my life and heart came Madee. I also have a yorkie named Mia who I recently adopted. Mia has socialization issues. She is afraid of people and dogs. Madee came into my home tail wagging, sniffing from room to room as Mia watched in horror and jealousy. Every day they grew closer. Madee won her over by leaving a morsel of food always in her dish and stepped back to watch foodie Mia eat it. She made a buddy! Every day she pulled on my heartstrings more and more. I took a trip to Long Island to a friends home. Madee in the back car seat and Mia in the front. Over 3 hours. I would look in my rearview mirror and see her little tiny head looking out the window and at each light her tail would start to wag in anticipation of where we were going. After a week it was time to go home. Again with Madee in the back seat. Only now it was nighttime and I could see that tiny little face asleep in the back seat....not a sound out of her. All the way back my heart said "I can't let her go.....oh no...what to do?" Arriving home I picked up Mia who was also sleeping and picked up Madee to bring them into my apartment. Madee put her head on my shoulder and put her little paws around my neck and that was it!" I crushed! When morning came I called Kathy M. ( our Rescue Coordinator) "I'm in love with her Kathy! I can't let her go!! To which she replied..."I understand, yes, you can adopt her. So now I have another little heartbeat at my feet. We are a family. Thank you SAY for finding the missing puzzle piece to my life! Congratulations Madee!!!

Mist

Hello there, I am coming to you from Philadelphia, PA with good news...My foster mommy decided she needed to keep me as I tugged at her heart strings within days of landing at her door. She was skeptical at first, not knowing how I would react to Indy, but as days went by it was apparent that Indy had accepted me into the fold and the rest is truly history. Indy and I run and play throughout the house as if we had known each other forever. I must admit that there have been a few "close calls" when Indy decided to take me on, and I had to remind her that I was her elder and that this was not going to be acceptable behavior. Could not let her give "mommy" thoughts that this would not work out, you see, I love being with my mommy and grandma and of course Indy and nothing could take me away from my forever home. I have now become a true "FOSTER FAILURE" and will live my life making my mommy smile. Congratulations Mist!!!

Maci

At the time our rescue as bombarded with several rescues needing fosters from a shelter in MD we decided to foster Maci. She was so tiny and needed some TLC. As the days went on Maci quickly became a fixture in our family. She gives our 5 yr old Yorkie Tino a run for his money! He is He is a good sport though. After several emails to possible families for Maci, the reality of her leaving us set in. My husband and I talked about it and felt that we didn’t want to part with her. She is part of our family and had such a rough start we decided to make Maci the fourth member of our family! Congratulations Maci!!!

Michi

Michi was adopted by Donna and Jim and her fur sisters Giada and Bella. She was very excited to meet everyone. She loved romping around the house with Giada and Bella and all the cuddling and loving from Donna and Jim. Enjoy your new fenced in yard and long walks in the neighborhood. Have a great life and lots of fun with your new family! Congratulations Michi!!!

Minney

Less than 30 minutes ago Sweet Minney left her temporary home here with us to make her way to Maryland and a new life!! The Thomas’s arrived at 2 pm and the #nealpack greeted them with barks and kisses all around. Toby, their 3 year old yorkie was polite and put up with everyone’s noise! We then went on a pack walk around the block to get acquainted and establish who would pee where :-) As usual Beau showed all his favorite spots to the pack and Toby found a few good ones of his own. Their daughter Cheyenne took over the lead for Minney while all chatted about our pups and love of yorkies. Minney gave her a present not long after and Cheyenne took it in stride. She didn’t bat an eye but pulled a bag from the container on her leash and picked it up. I thought it was a good sign of maturity. Right after that we returned home. All the dogs took a drink of water and played a few minutes before we got down to the business of adoption. I confirmed they still wanted to adopt as I sat in the chair looking at Minney in Cheyenne’s lap giving her lots of kisses and affection! I didn’t think there was any doubt. They were taking her home! But I always ask the question just in case. They were in love with her from the start. It’s hard not to love Minney. She is such a sweet dog. Congratulations Minney!!!
