Frisbee

After having lost our beloved SAY Rescue Yorkie Brutus, who died suddenly in his sleep at the premature age of 11 -- thus depriving his bonded 8-year old SAYR "sister" Gracie aka Prissie of her life-long partner -- we have adopted little Frisbee, now known as Gustav. He gets along with his new sister perfectly well, and is a natural fill-in for her late brother, happily joining in whenever his new sister greets the wildlife in the window. We are so happy and thankful that SAYR gave us the opportunity to foster and then adopt the little guy, both for our sake and for that of our surviving adoptee. From stray to beloved new family member. Congratulations Frisbee!!!

Skylar

Hooray for Skylar now Scarlett! She has a loving forever family. Lindsey, Harley, their daughter Katelyn and "Chippin" (SAYR Rescue 2020) drove in the rain to Fairfax to meet Miss Skylar. Skylar of course had to sit in everyone's lap. Lindsey first with kisses, then Katelyn and finally Harley where she relaxed and laid down. Chippin and Skylar did the obligatory sniffs without any issue. The humans talked about Skylar's traits, meal and medicine routine as Skylar and Chippin mingled. Along with Foster Mom, everyone took a walk together. Skylar hesitated at the door but once she knew Foster Mom was coming she trotted right along. Upon return to the house, the humans reviewed and signed paperwork and then it was time to pack all Skylar's possessions and head for the car. Out the door everyone went with Chippin in Lindsey's arms, Skylar in Harley's arms and Katelyn proudly carrying Skylar's possessions. While pictures were taken, Skylar was relaxed in Harley' arms. Foster Mom couldn't follow to the car as she probably would have had tears of joy for sweet Skylar's adoption and tears of sadness at losing the best cuddler ever! It's reported that Skylar relaxed and slept in Katelyn's lap on the drive home while Chippin commandeered Skylar's bed in the seat beside. It's for sure Skylar knows when she's loved and Chippin is already sharing his people and being a good brother. From a shelter where she might have been euthanized due to the size of her tumor (one pound), to two interim foster homes while in route to Foster Mom in Virginia, Skylar has benefitted from SAYR's commitment to rescue and care for her. SAYR covered her veterinary costs of tumor removal and dental care in excess of $6,000. Now Skylar begins her life anew in her forever home as "Scarlett". Thank you Lindsey and family for welcoming this special needs Yorkie Sweetheart into your hearts. Congratulations Skylar!!!.

Noah

Noah has a new address and a new name with his lovely forever family. He was so excited at his meet and greet appointment, he snuggled and romped right into their arms. Noah is a very lucky puppy and I already miss him. I wish them all the best. Congratulations Noah!

Quinn

Quinn not only has a new loving Mom and Dad, and he now has a brother, Brodie. Allyssa and Joe were so excited to finally meet this little boy and Quinns tail was wagging so fast we thought it was going to come unhinged. LOL He spent a lot of time on Allyssas lap covering her face with kisses, leaving no spot untouched. We talked and talked and then all the necessary paperwork was signed along with instructions and the last of Quinns belongings were packed. He will be enjoying long walks, lots of attention, lots of kisses and will be loved and spoiled to pieces. Thank you to his new family for giving Quinn his happily ever after. After nearly five months in rescue, a surgery and countless tests, and still being just a baby, Quinn was leaving Pennsylvania and traveling home to another state. Our eyes filled with emotion as they drove away. Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. Live long, live healthy, live happy, sweet Quinn! Congratulations Quinn!!!

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!!!
