Florida Yorkie Rescue is a designated 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of Yorkies, Morkies & Malteses under 12 lbs. If you need to surrender your yorkie for whatever reason, a permanent and loving home will be found. We guarantee it! FYR is not a shelter. It is a group of volunteers who work with rescued dogs in our own homes. All costs associated with the care of our dogs come from adoption donations and from the generosity of donors. We provide medical care, spaying/neutering, socialization and training of these dogs until a permanent home can be found. Through the commitment of our volunteers, FYR also strives to educate and counsel all pet owners about spaying/neutering, obedience training and other aspects of responsible pet ownership. Our organization encourages people to adopt Yorkies, Morkies, Malteses and other pets from shelters, humane societies, and rescue organizations. Florida Yorkie Rescue also provides assistance to adoptive homes to ensure the welfare of all dogs adopted through our organization. Our number one commitment is to the little Yorkies that come our way. We treat them as if they were our own babies! We carefully screen all applicants to assure your family pet is placed in the most stable and loving home where they will be doted on for the remainder of their life!
Step 1: Fill out and submit an adoption application. If interested in adopting with Florida Yorkie Rescue please fill out and submit an adoption application. We suggest you do this FIRST. By being able to "see" your application first allows us to specifically answer questions in regards to YOU and your home and if the pup in question may be a match for you or not. Submitting the application first also allows us to pre-approve you before a pup that is a match becomes available. This also means you won't miss out on a pup. Please be sure you fill out the application completely. We can not process any applications with missing info. Your Vet's telephone # is vital!! Step 2: Review of your application by Florida Yorkie Rescue. We will review your application to determine if you and your home seem like a good fit for one of our pups. Since we receive many applications each day, not all applications will proceed. Our goal is to find the very best homes that are both safe and happy forever homes suitable for the small pups entrusted to us. We appreciate your understanding should you be eliminated as an adoption candidate. Step 3: Veterinary Reference Check. Florida Yorkie Rescue WILL DO A VET CHECK! This is to verify your veterinarian is as listed on your application. This too also ensures us that your current pets are up-to-date on ALL vaccinations, are on monthly Heartworm preventative medication and are spayed/neutered (we will not place one of our dogs in a home where there is another intact animal). If you do not have a pet, we will verify that the vet you have selected exists. Step 4: Phone or Email Interview. Florida Yorkie Rescue will contact you directly to conduct a phone interview consisting of questions about you, your family, your home and other scenarios to determine a suitable match, if any, for your home. This typically occurs within 30 days. if there has been no personal contact within 30 days, your application has most likely been sent to archives. Please keep in mind that we are volunteers working other jobs. The more pups we have in the busier we are and the longer this may take. Please try to be patient with us. Step 5: Home Visit. The final step of the approval process is a home visit. A volunteer comes to your home to determine if it is safe and acceptable for a small dog. This is usually done by one of our foster moms when we feel we have a match or when we will be in your area. If we can not conduct the home visit ourselves we will attempt to find a volunteer to help us. This could take days, weeks or even months. Step 6: Adopt. Once you are approved there are a few ways we proceed. If there is a specific pup in mind and we feel there is a match we will arrange for a meeting. If not we will contact you when new pups are coming in to discuss if one of them might be a match. If no pups are currently available or are a match you may also keep checking our site for a pup that interests you. When you see one that you feel would be a fit please let us know right way. If we feel the pup is also a good fit we will make arrangements for a meeting!
