Phoenix

Phoenix’s search for his perfect family is finally over—he has found his forever home with the wonderful Stahl family! This incredible, animal-loving family has a long history of rescuing and caring for animals in need, and Phoenix is now their fourth adoption from Save A Yorkie Rescue. In his new home, Phoenix will have two Save A Yorkie brothers to play with, ensuring he always has a buddy for fun and companionship. He’ll also get to enjoy a large, fenced-in backyard where he can run, play, and soak up the sunshine. Best of all, Phoenix will have someone home throughout the day to help him feel safe and secure, giving him the love and attention he needs to work through his separation anxiety. From the moment he met the Stahls, it was clear that Phoenix had finally found the place where he belongs. His tail never stopped wagging, and he showered his new family with kisses, as if he already knew he was home. Congratulations to Phoenix and the Stahl family! Wishing you a lifetime of love, snuggles, and happy adventures together!

Pumpkin

Well I think I found the perfect parents for Pumpkin. She immediately was attracted to Brenda and sat on her lap the entire time during our Meet & Greet. After talking with them both I knew these were the right adopters for this sweet little girl. She will be the only dog so Pumpkin will get all the love and attention she deserves. When she was placed in her car set between Brenda and Rod for the ride home to Virginia Beach she looked like she was so happy. It made saying goodbye to this sweetheart so much easier. I’m sure she will have a great life! Congratulations Pumpkin!!!

Pixzee

The Toth Family lost their 2 Yorkies at the age of 16 last Fall. One of them was adopted years ago from SAYR. They decided it was time to rescue a new friend. After adoption approval and some emails and a few phone conversations, they met Pixzee. She is active, playful and a great companion! Pixzee was just the type of Yorkie the Toths were hoping for. After their meet and greet on Sunday, we all decided they were a great match. Pixzee is getting used to her new home where she has a wonderful, spacious fenced in yard to zoom around. As the only dog in their home, Pixzee is being treated like the princess she is! High “Paws” all around! Congratulations Pixzee!!!

Puzzles

Well, first foster/first fail, but we could not ask for a better dog to be with our Wesley. Puzzles finally melted Jeanie's heart by repeatedly jumping onto her lap to snuggle. That's all it took! Congratulations Puzzles!!!

Pippa

Around noon on the 9th, Barbara texted that she was almost at my house, so I got Pippa ready for a quick walk but as we rounded the corner of the house and stepped on to the driveway, Barbara car pulled up. Immediately, Pippa pulled on the leash and ran towards Barbara and her daughter! This was so out of character for Pippa, but it put my heart at ease to see her so excited to meet them. Both Barbara and her daughter dropped to their knees to pet Pippa while laughing and talking to her. After getting acquainted for a few minutes, we went into the house with Barbara and her daughter happily chatting about how cute Pippa was and doting on her. I must say, Pippa really put them to the test because while she was very welcoming and really seemed to like them, she also took the opportunity to show her mischievous side while demonstrating her climbing skills. I provided a brief history on Pippa warts and all! Then timidly asked if they wanted to complete the adoption application. Barbara looked at me and said there is no way I am leaving here without her. I feel like I was on autopilot for the rest of the meeting as we reviewed the adoption application and reviewed the contents of the goody bag I prepared for them. I did not think that my heart could handle watching them pull away with my sweet girl, so I said goodbye at the door. Once I shut the door, I could finally give in to my feelings until I realized that I forgot to take a picture of them! I raced out the door and ran over to their car. I imagine they were concerned about the crazy woman running towards their car and they probably assumed I was going to wrench Pippa from their arms. Relief flooded their faces when I explained that I simply forgot to take a picture. So, I am sitting at my desk with an empty lap and a sad heart typing my final update on Pippa but knowing that she has found her forever home with a wonderful family who will be able to stay home with her all day and knowing that I played a part in helping Pippa to trust more readily is more rewarding than I can say! Congratulations Pippa!!!
