Update 1/29/13: Since my surgery, I am already back to running around and bouncing on my hind legs at the baby gate in order to see what is going on!  My house breaking is coming along and I seem to prefer to pee on the pads since it is so cold outside! I love to eat my food but am not so big on snacks.  I love to snuggle close and give kisses.  I sleep through the night but will no longer sleep in a crate now that my furry buddy Brie is in her furever home.  I am healing well and doing great!  Now I just need to find my furever family... My foster Mom says I am a little love and anyone who meets me will agree!

Update 1/25/13: I went back to the dogter because a few days after my hernia surgery, my foster Mommy found another lump on my stomach.  Turns out the lump is a swollen mammary tumor!  (I was told that this is typical of female dogs who are bred time and again!) So we scheduled an appointment and I went to the dogter today to have a masectomy to remove the lump along with several others that the dogter felt during my initial visit.  I also have a double ear infection which my foster Mommy is treating with medicine at this time.  Even with everything happening to me right now, I am such a wonderful little trooper and am being sweet as pie.  I will need a some time to recover in foster care but am still available for adoption so please, if you have it in your heart to furever take in a beautiful girl like me, then visit www.yorkie911rescue.com.  I will be cured and healthy again in no time!   Woof!
 

Update 1/20/13: My foster family tells me that I am such a sweet little girl.  I love to be held and cuddled but I am not insistent or vocal about it.  I sleep in my crate at night without a problem and in a dog bed during the day.  Of course my preference would be to be on the couch, but again, if I am told 'no', I will not insist.  I am very even tempered and laid back.  If left behind a baby gate, I will vertically jump high enough to be head and shoulders above the gate, but I do not make it over.  I am working on my house-breaking but have not yet mastered this skill.  However, I will go to the potty outside when taken.  All in all, I am adorable and love to give kisses!  Please put in an adoption application for me at www.yorkie911rescue.com.

Update 1/7/12:  Well my surgery went really well - turns out I had a huge hernia (probably from a botched up C-Section).  I am feeling sooo much better.  If you are looking for lots of kisses, I am the girl for you!  My foster mom has to carry a tissue to wipe her face from all my kisses :)  Please submit an application for me asap.

Hello there!  My name is Rizzo and I am a sweet Yorkie girl.  I just came into rescue from a backyard breeder that no longer needed me for breeding.  A backyard breeder is pretty much a small scale puppy mill but we are all socialized a bit more and our overall condition is better.  I have a couple of "lumps" that the dogtor has to take out when I get spayed so stay tuned for my update next week.

Please visit www.yorkie911rescue.com to fill out an adoption application for me.
