Finding their furever home one pooch at a time

On Saturday 3/23/13 Laura's Hope Rescue participated in it's first Puppy Mill Rescue and we came home with 9 wonderful Yorkies. These pups didnt utter a peep the three hours they were in the van. We wondered if they ever would. Fosters took them home gave them a much needed bath..

Our 9 Yorkies went to the vet 3/26/13.
Sweet Pea weighs in at 10 lbs and is 7-8 years old she is in good health just needs dental cleaning.

Charlie weighs in at 8 lbs 2 oz He is four years old. He might have ear issues.

Pete is again 4 years _ 6 lbs 12 oz. His teeth need a cleaning.

Roxy is 4 years old she weighs 9 lbs. good health teeth need cleaning.
PopEye is 6 years old he weighs 6 lbs both of his knee caps pop out and he has a tiny heart mumor.

Toby is 6 years old he weighs 7 lbs 7 oz he is in great health needs a good teeth cleaning..

Bernie is 6 years old weighs 6 lbs 2 0z he is also in great health needs his teeth cleaned.
Lucy is 9 years old she has dry eye and all of her teeth have to be removed she weighs 7 lbs..

UDATE
Yesterday was one week ago that the yorkies came in to our rescue.. Its been a very rewarding experience These once so quiet pups have found their voice.. One so much he barks all night!! Charles loves being held so much that he leans into you while you're holding him. Every time we give Lucy her eye medication, she gives you a kiss on the face, as if to say thank you ....

Sweet Pea realizes we are safe and she comes to greet us .. Toby is starting to become a little energizer bunny . And the list goes on... Today my five walked out the door with the rest of the pack as I was letting them all go for free play... They move as a pack, Lucy and Sweet Pea being the females, watch over the boys.. They never had that chance with their own puppies since they were taking away as soon as they started to eat solids..

They are fantastic Mothers.. They lead the boys out to a new world. It was real joy to watch as they checked out every inch of the front porch. This gang is very smart too. I have them floor level with the other dogs so that they'll get used to them as they go by to head out doors and come back in for crate training.

Each Dog in rescue goes into the same crate every day. When they go in the correct crate they get a treat.. Tonight , when we started to go in, the boys went into a crate and waited for treat. They had been watching the other dogs for the past week and figured out what to do to get a treat. AMAZING!!!!!!!

They still flinch when you pick them up but quickly realize its OK. Pete hasn't learned to trust yet, but we're working on that and he's coming around slow but sure...

Monday the gang goes to be altered.. Carbondale Vet Hospital agreed to do the whole gang together, as well as all the dental work and cleaning. 5 are ready for adoption. The adoption fee is 200.00 to help cover all of our expenses. Check out Pet Finder for each dog and their updated personal Bios

Dog peeves about humans
1. Passing gas and blaming it on me... not funny... not funny at all !!!
2. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A DOG, YOU NUMBSKULL!
3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly
whose walk is this anyway?
4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!
5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew
your stuff up when you're not home.
6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog!
Woooo-Hooooooo! Oh, what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I
freak out every time we go back!
8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
9. Dog sweaters. Hello??? Haven't you noticed the fur?
10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the
truth, you're just jealous.
Now lay off me on some of these things, We both know who's boss here
(you don't see me picking up your poop, do you?).
