Story
Bronwyn is as sweet as she can be. High energy, loves to cuddle, and is quite the smoocher. She thinks she’s a lap dog. She loves to run. She can sit, shake, and jump on command if her excitement can be calmed down enough to keep her wiggle butt on the ground. She’s quite a chewer, but the only inappropriate thing she’s ever chewed on is blankets. Definitely needs strong chews around to keep her attention. So what’s wrong with her? Now that she’s grown to be larger than my small breed dog, she’s become very territorial with food and toys. She wants to be Alpha, but the other is older and also wants to be Alpha so she doesn’t back down when Bronwyn picks a fight. This results in violent altercations where both can get injured. We tried leaving Bronwyn in the yard more to give them separation, but now she’s learned she can jump the 4 ft. fence. Her backyard fence must be 5+ feet with preferably no ledge or anything she can get footing on. Or she could be a leash only dog.

Story
Addie A darling 2 year old 16 pound Yorkie 04/17/2019 Pupdate Addie continues to do well on her seizure medication, and is more accepting of her foster brothers and sisters. She is such a sweetheart. She needs a quiet home where she can just be herself. She needs an understanding and patient heart full of love for fur babies. Can you take care of me and love me like I deserve to be loved and cared for??? Update 3/6/19 - Miss Addie is doing very well. She is almost completely potty trained. Just a few oops here and there that we are working on. Addie has begun coming out of her shell and showing her personality a little more. Such a loving and sweet girl. She is looking for a patient owner that will work with her, love her and understand her. She says, "Will you love me and allow me to love you? Foster Mom and Dad are cool and all, but I am looking to get settled into my forever home." If you have questions, please contact my foster mom at uyrfostermom@yahoo.com Update 2/13/2019 - Addie came to us last week after being on the streets for an undefined amount of time, and she is absolutely adorable. Although she sounds a little vicious when playing, she is a doll baby. Now that she is settled in and on her seizure medication, her seizures are subsiding. Though she must stay on medication the rest of her life, the seizures are under control now. Miss Addie is looking for a forever home full of love and understanding. Addie is a sweet baby, and would do well in a home with older children, either with tolerant dogs or being an only child. For more questions, contact foster mom at uyrfostermom@yahoo.com. This little girl was seen along the side of the road in Corpus Christi for weeks until a real lover of animals stopped and picked her up. She reached out to UYR due to the dire needs of the little lady. She had two injured legs with signs of seizure activity and was obviously unkempt. Guesses were made if she was thrown hit by a car, run over;.we will never know. Many members worked together to get Addie to her intended foster mom in Fort Worth, TX. First visit was to an orthopedic vet. He took x--rays, blood and really looked her over. It seems her front leg was crushed in many places and was healed-all wrong. X-rays indicated these injuries occurred long ago. She has learned to walk with her leg at an angle and her pad is worn in the wrong place. She was heart-worm negative, but has 3 kinds of intestinal worms. She hates the medication, but in 10 days it should be but a memory.. Now for the seizures. I understand she had tremors all the time when stressed, then would have a small seizure a few times a day. Since starting her medications yesterday, I have seen no tremors or seizures! Her forever parents should be made aware she will need medication three times a day for life. After having to scrounge for food for weeks, she shows a lot of food guarding. I am sure once she trusts me to bring food when needed, she will stop this behavior. You would think this little one would be complaining all the time but she only tells you when she needs to go out. She needs to be stabilized on her medications and,she must be continue to observed by foster mom and vet to determine if a any treatment will benefit your leg. She may need to be spayed before she is ready to meet her forever parents - vet not sure after initial observation
