i’ve been fostering Beau and Ben for a week and they are so fun! At first Beau was really scared of me and wouldn’t come near me. Ben was the social one. Well all of that has changed!! Beau has to be by my side at all times now! it only took him 12 hours to warm up to me. ben is super sweet too but he likes to just do his own thing whether it’s chewing on a bone or playing with a boy. They are so fun to watch. You can tell they have been together for a long time. They are so dependent of each other! I honestly think it would kill them to not be together. They are going to their new home on saturday and i know that Barbara will spoil them rotten. They deserve it with the life they use to have!
Baxter is still doing well. He is really a character :) He plays so well with my other dogs, I think he would love to be adopted with some one who has a little dog because he has really grown fond of my chirokie. He is still wearing his belling band in the house when out roaming in the house but he is so far only potting in about 2 time’s a day which isn’t bad compared to about 6 times the first day we got him. He use to not eat his food unless you are standing next to him, but now I have been crating him when he eats and he eats without you being there which is a great improvement now. Right after he eats thought he needs to be let our because he goes poo right afterwards {Kinda like us right after we drink coffee lol}. I have been working on walking him on his leash and we are making progress :} However if the front door is open he will try to run out, because he loves to play outside. I am trying to teach him he is meant to be and indoor dog and not an outdoor dog like he use to be where he came from. I think he believes he is spoiled now , which he is 
He is really going to make someone a great addition to there family. He is also VERY fond of my 6year old who babys him too. Stay tuned for more blogs to come.
Baxter did well through out the night, no howling or barking. He slep in Bentleys crate with Bentley. I took his belly band off and he did not pee at ALL during the night. He was very excited when my daughter woke up at 7:30a.m. to let him out. He went out and peed and pood. He is such a funny little dog. He does go around the couch and try to rub off his belly band, but no such luck for him , it is secure He seems to favor Bentley my chiorkie more than my Great dane “Link” . If i was 10 lbs and small and stood next to my new brother whos 155 lbs and taller than my new mom, I would be best friends with the Bentley too…lol They all get along great though, the 3 boys remind me of the 3 stooges, they are so funny.
Hello my name is Lacie and my little girl and our other dogs and I are now fostering Baxter. We got him this afternoon and he is such a charmer. It took him a little bit of time to get use to ur Great Dane “Link” but he came around quick, then he met our Chiorkie “Bentley” and they became instant best friends They follow each other everywere, infact they are both laying on the living room couch as I speak , both cuddle up on one of our couch pillows.
It will take some time and TLC to get him use to using the restroom out side and not in but he is trying. It doesent happen over night contrary to what some people might think :). He is very smart and sweet and plays well with my 6 year old and my other dogs. He dosen’t even bark when the door bell rings lol what a plesure. I hope you guys will see the photos of him and read our updates and want to adopt this little charmer
Baxter came to OKYR this week. He had been tied up outside in the heat and needed some grooming. We do not believe that he has not had a good life. Even when he is outside in the open yard, he turns in circles as if he was stuck in a cage. He is very lovable and likes it when you hold him
Today, Tessie found a new Mommy. Megan is a student at OU and was so excited to get her today! Tessie is going to be spoiled. Everyone at OKYR is going to miss the Tessie kisses.
What can i say about Cosmo? He is a very loving dog! You can tell he has never had a real home before. He loves to be pet. He is also pretty playful. He is from a puppymill so you can see that he is trying to learn how to play, it’s like he doesn’t know how. i feel so bad sometimes b/c i feel like he has missed out on so much and he just wants to be a normal dog. He is doing pretty good with going potty outside.. Since he was neutered he has not tried to hike near as much which is GREAT!
Tessie has got to be the BEST foster i have had so far! This little girl just wants to be right by your side at all times. Most of the time she just lays there unless you start to pet her, then she comes to attack you with kisses. She is a special needs dog b/c she needs eyedrops in one eye twice a day, but it’s so easy to do. Tessie Deserves to know what it’s like to have a real home. I hope that she finds a great one with people that will spoil her rotten!!
Sassy is recovering from getting spayed. She is such a sweet girl. She does not like a crate and would really prefer just to be with us were ever we are. She loves to play with other dogs. She is still a little shy of grass. I am sure that is from one of her past homes.
She is learning some. But it seems like no one has worked with her in the past. We are going to put her in a situation with children, so we know how she is around them. But, she is so sweet and just loves everybody, I can not see how she would have a problem. We will keep everyone updated!
Hello Everyone
I just thought I would write a bit and not only express my gratitude for all you have done, but keep you updated on our progress as well. OK Yorkie Rescue was founded because a small group of us wanted to get together and make a difference. We thought if we could save even just ONE life, it would all be worth it. So we got together and let fate take us where we were meant to go. Fate led us to a wonderful place - the Oklahoma Yorkie Rescue.
We have worked tirelessly to start this rescue and it’s wonderful to see how beautifully everything is turning out. While we have done the bulk of the work, none of it would be possible without the help of YOU and your contributions. While we have not had the chance to save any dogs yet, I know that just the formation of this rescue is nothing short of a blessing and miracle.
Here’s to saving as many animals as we can.. together. I hope you stick around to see us flourish and grow.
Once again, thanks for standing by our side.
-Diana
