Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: The mission of Florida Yorkie Rescue is to rescue Yorkies and Yorkie mixes regardless of age or additional handicaps that may be associated with aging or birth defects. We never discriminate on the basis of health, age or breed. We pledge to promote responsible pet ownership through humane education and to provide shelter and care to our foster dogs until a loving, responsible home can be found. To evaluate each dog and potential home with the goal of matching our dogs to the best possible home. We also provide life-long, quality sanctuary for yorkies that may be too old or ill for adoption. This organization is made up entirely of people who volunteer their time and money to foster and place these little dogs in caring, loving homes. Almost all the dogs that come into Florida Yorkie Rescue need rehabilitation and training and we seek out medical care or alternative methods if traditional treatments do not work. All dogs that come into Florida Yorkie Rescue will be neutered or spayed and vaccinated.

My husband and I adopted my beautiful Annie Rose 5 years ago from Florida Yorkie Rescue and since then we have been following and attending their fund raising events. There is no words that can honestly describe the good that this rescue does for these fur babies! Momma Kit is one in a million; there is never a fur baby left behind! She is the epitome of compassion and love and her husband is just as caring and loving to these babies in need! LOVE FLORIDA YORKIE RESCUE!

Florida Yorkie Rescue is beyond AMAZING. Kit & Jerry put their heart & soul for these fur babies. I have to say I am beyond blessed to be chosen as Momma Mia’s Mommy.

Momma Mia is absolutely adorable. She is being spoiled rotten by her Mommy & Daddy. We could not be happier. We definitely support Florida Yorkie Rescue.

We adopted our little Lily from Florida Yorkie Rescue almost 5 years ago. She was a breed dog at a puppy mill. She is very timid and still exhibits some nervousness but we love her like crazy and she in turn is devoted to us. Kit was so helpful and informative and is truly an earth angel. We would love to find another little rescue soon and Florida Yorkie Rescue is the first place we will look. They are a truly wonderful organization. I am hoping to volunteer for them soon.

Florida Yorkie Rescue healed my broken heart. In January I lost the furry love of my life, my rescued male Yorkie ,Tyler Quinn (age 16). As a former foster with a small dog rescue in N.FL, I was not surprised to find there were no younger Yorkies to be rescued anywhere. I’d been searching shelters both near & far as well as surfing the usual rescue sites without any luck at all. Then a friend sent me a link to FYR. A representative contacted me & we talked for over an hour. Once I knew which furbaby was right for me, I filled out an online application, had my references checked & a home visit completed. The day I met Prince Fábio was the 1st day I’d felt truly happy since losing my boy & I haven’t stopped smiling since. I’m so thrilled with FYR & the great work they do, that I volunteered as an “FYR transport angel”. In my opinion FL Yorkie Rescue is the ONLY place to rescue a Yorkie, Yorkie mix or a Maltese in the entire state.

Florida Yorkie Rescue is a wonderful rescue ! I have adopted a few little ones from them and I couldn't be happier. They go to great lengths to make sure the dogs are adopted by the right home for them. They do home checks, while other rescues do not. They also do complete vet check ups and dentals on all the dogs. I am sure their modest adoption fee hardly covers all this. Kit has been doing this for years and truely....it is her passion!

They came to view my home then made another appointment to make sure that my older yorkie was friendly and welcoming. When they brought my Angel to me she was groomed and "dressed". They brought me a few cans of the food she was on, all the information on the vet...shots...dental and chip was in a folder for me. I would always adopt from them.

I started following the work of Florida Yorkie Rescue while I lived in FL. Kit and her husband do amazing work for these little dogs who have been abused or mistreated. I had planned to adopt but then I moved to GA. I like that they do home visits before they allow adoptions of their rescues. I have donated to them in various ways…directly, with needed items and had a birthday fund raiser for them.

FYR is by far the most caring rescue. They rescue dogs in need regardless of age or health while doing everything possible, sparing no expense, to insure them a good life. The dogs are matched to a home best fit for them. Kit is beyond amazing for all she does. She is an angel. FYR relies on donations to operate. To help with monies, Kit with her many talents, tirelessly crafts items to be sold through the rescue to supplement the rescue. We were so blessed to be able to adopt our “Halo” from a hoarding situation. Our adoption process was seamless. She is our baby! We are very grateful and try to donate during the year when a need request is posted. Florida Yorkie Rescue, in my opinion, is heads and tails above a 5 star review.

Florida Yorkie Rescue is one of the most caring and concerned rescues out there. No fur baby is turned away (if possible) and they go to great lengths to match family to yorkie. They have rescued from some of the most horrible conditions, care for and heal these pups then place them in the best fit home. I love their attitude and conviction to rescuing Yorkies.

I vowed to never get another dog after I lost my Bichon until.... on one sleepless night I scrolled through pictures of dogs up for adoption. One little face jumped off the screen and into my heart. I called Kit on the morning and that day I had a home inspection. Linda was professional looking at everything and even asked me where this 8 month old puppy would sleep. I met Kelcie the next day and the rest is history. She stole my heart, the covers and is now my world. I'm blessed to be her Mommy she loves being my Tiny Girl.

Kit and the Florida Yorkie Rescue volunteers are the most professional caring people I have had the pleasure to know. I was honored to be a Transport Angel and experienced the in-depth care, passion and empathy for these beings without voice. I was approved for my first rescue Toto who was an incredible dog, despite his issues. Sadly he passed, which enabled me to open my heart and home to another extraordinary für being named Jingles. Both were senior dogs and I loved them to the moon and back. I could not have gotten thru this pandemic thus far without my loving Jingles. Florida Yorkie Rescue is #1!!!

I love the dedication Kit and all her team provide for rescuing these pups. I have seen them take on pups knowing it was going to be a long and expensive ordeal to give the pups a chance for a good life. Pups no one else would touch are given a chance by Florida Yorkie Rescue. I will also like to add the diligence in matching the right pup to the right owner is amazing. These pups have been through enough and this is taken into consideration before placing them with someone who would put the pups through more trauma. God Bless them

I am so tired of so-called non profits that make their directors or CEOs rich. Florida Yorkie Rescue does not fit that description at all. I have been a supporter and followed them for several years now. For them, it is all about the dogs who need help. I trust them and believe in the mission 100%. I can't express how strongly I believe this. I will continue to be a strong supporter of this non profit organization.

I have adopted 3 Yorkies from FYR and their big heart doesn't stop there. Taking in dogs, restoring their health and finding forever homes is just the beginning. There has been many times I had questions or concerns regarding one of my rescued pups and Kit Roche, President/Founder of FYR, made time to offer advice and guidance. I am now a proud volunteer with FYR. Being part of the Transport Team is a rewarding experience. The volunteers are truly a team, coordinating picking up a dog, and transporting him/her from point A to point B. Once a forever home is carefully chosen, we all celebrate the joy of another dog becoming a happy and loved member of a new family.

Florida Yorkie Rescue (FYR) is without a doubt the finest nonprofit animal rescue, hands down. I have had the privilege of adopting 2 Yorkies in October of 2012, Scarlett & Savannah. FYR's on-line application is thorough and detailed to assist FYR in making a sound decision regarding placing the ideal dog in the perfect home. FYR checks references, their home visit is conducted by a volunteer to ensure that the adopted dog will be living in a safe environment. All these points were important to me because FYR cares about placement. The dogs are well cared for while FYR has possession. They are fully vaccinated, teeth cleaned, etc. The small fee required to rescue helps to cover the expense of medical attention and miscellaneous fees while the pet was at FYR. I also clearly remember Kit explaining the personality of the first 2 dogs I adopted, they were and still are exactly as she said. Kit devotes her time to the care and getting to know all the dogs taken into FYR. Soon after I wanted to be part of FYR and became a volunteer. Once again, March 2014, I adopted a senior Yorkie, Willow, Yorkies are like potato chips, you can't have just one and you will never need to go any further than FYR to add love and happiness to your home. Everyone, the board members, the volunteers, the veterinarians FYR uses are fully dedicated to the well being of these dogs.
I am happy to donate to this worthy rescue, 100% of donations are used to care for the pets, Please donate and/or adopt, the pet you bring home will be well groomed, precious and ready to be loved. Check out their Website...get ready to fall in love! (See Scarlett, Savannah and Willow)

I recently adopted two dogs from Florida Yorkie Rescue. I have never met a more caring group of volunteers. They truly want the dogs to find a perfectly matched forever home. They take the time to meet with each family to make sure the surroundings are safe and loving before letting the dogs go to their new homes. The medical attention they give their dogs is amazing Most of all, it is an organization run by volunteers so I know my donation will end up being put to good use to help the animals not to big salaries.

In 2014 we adopted a tiny dog from FYR. We love her so much!! Their primary mission is to guarantee the long term health and happiness when placing their dogs. Sometimes this means everyone who applies is not approved. Their team travels near and far to help these precious little souls! From bottle feeding puppies to nursing injures animals, they are the best of the best!

They are there to help in any way to Foster and save Yorkies in the State of Florida. They truly care and devote many hours to save these babies and others that are in bad conditions. I now have a wonderful Yorkie thanks to them

This is a wonderful organization. They take in abused and neglected little Yorkies and other small dogs. They rehabilitate them both physically and mentally... they then find wonderful homes for them, screening applications carefully for that perfect new forever family and home....I have been a transporter for them in the past. They are a very special and loving Rescue group, going that extra mile for these unfortunate dogs. I can’t say enough good things about them!

This is a FIRST CLASS Rescue Group. The care given to these little rescue's is beyond excellent. These babies are given total care and love from the moment they are in the Rescuer's hands; this includes lots of love, total rehabilitation to complete medical care and treatment. It is beyond A First Class Rescue...

It is such a pleasure to work with such wonderful loving and caring volunteers...Everyone I have ever come in contact with are wonderful people wanting to rescue abandoned babies.

It is a privilege to be part of this wonderful group of Volunteer's.

I have followed Florida Yorkie Rescue for about 5 years. They are the only Rescue I have trusted to take in Yorkies I knew needed to live out the rest of their lives in loving homes. And, when I made the call, Florida Yorkie Rescue wen way above the norm to secure these dogs. I would trust Florida Yorkie Rescue with my own Yorkies.

After losing our 12.5 year old Yorkie to renal & heart failure,after a few months, we contacted Florida Yorkie Rescue to adopt a Yorkie. The application was easy. A home visit was made to insure there was a safe environment, our vet was contacted to insure good health care, if needed. We were offered the chance to adopt a healthy 2 year old little girl, Scarlet Jane. It has been almost 2 years since that happened. Since then, I have had the opportunity to join their volunteer group & felt much self satisfaction with fostering and transporting surrendered yorkies. This organization is just wonderful. They take in any Yorkie, Maltese, mix that has a need & gets the medical help that they need to become adopted. They survive strictly on donations. The first photo is of our lost baby, Sarah. The 2nd is of our sweet Scarlet Jane.

They thoroughly clear the animals to make sure they are as healthy as possible and also check perspective homes to make sure the dogs will have a good safe and loving forever home.

The Yorkie Animal Rescue is one of the finest rescues I know. The amount of care and dedication they provide for dogs of all ages is remarkable. I own a dog from this agency and she was a healthy happy little 4 year old. Today she is 10 and the love of my life. I also rescue a male 5 month old from another rescue. He was sick from the day I got him and continues to have health problems at 10 years old also. The Yorkie Animal Rescue is by far one of the best around.

However, there is no link or way to report this on your website that I can find.

This has been an exceptional experience for us. We waited until the time was right to adopt a Yorkie, and when we had the right environment we went straight to FYR. We became aware of FYR over a year ago, and were happy to donate to specific foster pets until it was our turn to take once of these special pups into our home.
Diane was thorough in vetting us, which is what you want when a dog is going to be placed in a home: she made sure we had a safe and secure environment, adequate resources, the ability to address emergencies, an understanding of what it means to adopt a dog, and most of all, a loving family. We are grateful there are people like Diane who make sure animals are placed correctly, and we strived to be the kind of family that meets FYR's expectations. Thank you for setting a high bar, and for caring so much about the doggies with whom you are entrusted.

This is truly a rescue group. Kit and her volunteers spare no expense, spend endless hours of love and care towards all their dogs. I have seen dogs taken in that honestly looked like they wouldn't make it through another day because of the condition they are in. I know of one person who sleeps on the floor beside a new dog to make sure he/she feels loved and is their to comfort them during the night. There are hundreds and hundreds of success stories and many happy placements with the perfect family for that dog. It is not easy to get a dog from Florida Yorkie Rescue, because they want to ensure the dog never has to suffer again with the treatment and neglect it had received.

Coordinating a pick-up, transport, health evaluation...this team is all over it with amazing dedication and thoroughness. I have been fortunate to be able to assist pick up recently a young homeless pooch, and travel 2 hours to another volunteer, who traveled another distance. This is just the beginning.

Three years ago we lost our beloved little pet to collapsed trachea. She was the apple of our eyes, my grief was unbearable, our family suggested applying for a rescue immediately considering it may take months to be selected for a match. Via internet, Florida Yorkie Rescue appeared, we completed application and within 2 weeks , contact to adopt beloved Noelle came to fruition thou many may judge how little time had past between the pain vs joy, the love and guidance we received was a gift and healing began. Our Noelle needed love and lost her humans we grieved together. We thank FYR everyday and Momma Kit made it possible!! FYR is committed to excellence, the love and care all the dogs receive is miraculous.

I have loved this rescue for many years! I run a rescue transport out of Alabama, 3 years ago an awful yorkie puppy mill was discovered, they were just keeping them in cages outside and in the winter many would die and just trown into a barn. We called FL Yorkie Rescue who stepped right and took several who had never been vetted, they were all taken wonderful care of and placed in loving homes. Just last week I volunteered to pull one for them out of a kill shelter in the FL Panhandle. This little 7 lb morkie was likely used by a backyard breeder and dumped due to a huge tumor needing removed. She was transported and had surgery and will be fine and ready for her furever home soon. I cannot say enough about ehat a wonderful job this rescue does. So many people think yorkie resues must be rooling in donations but that is not true. So many have medical issues and need gelp when they get there but the right treatment, they live happy lives. Please help Florida Yorkie Rescue!

As an adopter, I was fully investigated, my references were checked, a home visit was done and my vet called to make sure I was a good Pet Parent. There was a meet and greet with my dogs to make sure everyone got along. Florida Yorkie Rescue ALWAYS has the dog's best interests at heart. I could not ask for a more humane group than Florida Yorkie Rescue.

My Granddaughter and I have volunteered to transport for FYR over the past 2 years-Was actually corresponding and following them a lot longer when I could not help. This Rescue loves and cares for each and every pup that passes their way. They work constantly to rescue the sick and neglected pups - I have seen them post desperately for help to pick one up -then straight to their vet and it gets all the care the pup needs and all the love it can handle until they find them their perfect forever family! They cry over the ones that can't save and they don't give up trying. Never let one bad review wipe away all the good this group has done. Thumbs up a million and one times to this group of caring people.

Thank you. Yes, it is true. Florida Yorkie Rescue has NEVER adopted a sick dog to anyone. All of out dogs are completed vetted and tested for all parasites before finding new homes, including fecal and heartworm exams. We also follow up on all adoptions for several months to make sure all is going well and that our yorkies are making an easy transition. If there are ever any problems we are always here to help. Anyone who states otherwise is clearly mistaken or has our Rescue mixed up with someone else.

THE BEST RESCUE EVER! I have adopted three dogs from Florida Yorkie Rescue. Each dog arrived totally vetted and completely healthy. I even adopted a Senior at the age of 12 who is doing beautifully right now. This is a fabulous and caring Rescue who stands behind their dogs. They are one of the few Rescues I have ever heard of who will take their yorkies back if a family wants to return it for whatever reason, even ten years later. This speaks volumes for the kind of Rescue this group is!

i would rate this zero if that was an option. The staff at Florida yorkie rescue are very rude.
They adopted a 3year old yorkie to me that had heartworms and died 6months after i adopted him. they did not even tell me that he was ill. I contacted the rescue about the whole situation and they called me trash and a liar, and a few other names that are so horrible i will not repeat. I have been heart broken every since i lost my beloved yorkie named Monty who i adopted from Florida yorkie rescue. PLEASE DO NOT ADOPT FROM FLORIDA YORKIE RESCUE.

Florida Yorkie Rescue is a wonderful organization. They are tireless in the care of their rescues and see that they get the best care possible. They are relentless in rescuing the fur babies that are in the most horrid situation and they go to any length to do so once they become aware of a bad situation. I have followed them and other rescues across the nation, and in my opinion none comes close to the love and compassion that they show their rescues.

I found Florida Yorkie Rescue online and I applied to become a foster. Their qualifying process was extensive as it should be, including a home check. Once I fostered I soon became a potential adopter. The application process was easy for me since I was already the foster but the emphasis was on what was best for the dog. These people are in the business of finding the best home for the dog. Excellent experience.

I adopted my Molly almost 2 years ago from FYR and would go there again in a minute, if something happened to Molly. Kit and her husband give the fur-babies the love and care they need after being surrendered. And for those who have been abused and mistreated, Kit will take them without a second thought and give them all the love, medical care or whatever else they need. She also makes certain that the fur-babies end up in the right homes and is VERY particular before she does let one be adopted. I have also met the volunteers for FYR and they are exceptional as well. Overall, FYR in my opinion has a AAA rating as it goes above and beyond for all the fur-babies who get the benefit of being rescued by FYR.

This is a wonderful organization. Not only do they they take in animals in need but they try to help people who are having issues with with their animals so that they may keep their beloved family member or find a suitable place for them. Years ago, we bought a puppy that began displaying increasing aggressive behavior after turning 2 years old. FYR provided us with resources - behavior classes, veterinarians, therapists specializing in aggression issues, etc. Through their help, we were able to find a solution. Most recently, I've seen that they took in a dog that had such minimal chance for survival. Through perseverance, faith, support, patience, and love the dog, Sam, had made incredible strides. This was a dog that many would have found repulsive and hopeless. However, FYR found the beauty and potential in Sammy and he had made wonderful strides. God bless FYR.

I have been supporting Florida Yorkie Rescue, Inc for years and do so because they put the dogs first. If it hurts your feelings, they are sorry, but the dog's welfare always is priority. I wish more rescues were like this. I see too many dogs adopted out just to have turnover and then returned or homeless again. How does this help a dog? Clearly it doesn't. At Florida Yorkie Rescue, In, they make sure the dog is going to a forever home.

An amazing group of volunteers that devote their lives to the fur babies they rescue. I truly do not know where the founder of this organization finds the time and energy she devotes to every little one they take in. We were fortunate enough to be introduced to this group when we were looking to adopt. We now have a precious 6 year old little Yorkie girl and she is already a member of our family and loved very much. We were so lucky to find this group and to have had the honor and privilege to become a forever home for our little gal. Absolutely the BEST rescue group around.

We adopted the most wonderful little yorkie 3 months ago from Florida Yorkie Rescue. Since then, I have been praising them to everyone I meet. I have followed their activities, their rescues, their stories, for more than a year. What a beautiful group of people. They give their time, their love, their hard work, their assets, to reach out and bless so many lovely and desperate dogs. I have rarely felt so moved as I have been by the loving care they show to these little ones. Our new family member, Mimi, has brought more joy and blessings into our lives than we could have dreamed possible. The dogs always come first. Their screening process, to match the right dog to the right persons, is perfectly accomplished. They keep in touch, to ensure that all is well. They accept the abused, neglected, terrorized, and mistreated, and start the rehabilitation process to change the fear into confidence, trust, and joy. I feel honored to have my life touched by their dedication. I am a better person by witnessing their loving good works. I will always be grateful for the example of what good can be done, by working with one's heart.

These dogs are completely take care of medically and emotionally.

They find homes for them and are very picky about who is allowed to adopt their rescued pups....everyone is screened and homes are inspected to be sure the baby is going to a great furever home.

They are always going to rescue and don't know what shape the babies are in but they pick them up and get them treated. Take care of them until they get them in a good place to be adopted. You can just tell how much love they pour into the little babies that have been abused and neglected.

My wife and I have adopted two Yorkies from Florida Yorkie Rescue. We just can't say enough good things about this organization....They really do "care" for all Yorkies regardless of age or circumstances be it health issues or abuse. In short they are VERY caring people. In fact, we were so impressed with this organization we volunteer our time as transporters to get the Yorkies to Palm City Florida...The latest one we adopted is a senior and we were part of transporting her to Florida Yorkie Rescue. Both my wife and I were so taken with her we decided to submit an application to adopt her When Florida Yorkie received her she had major health issues and FYR took her immediately to the vet hospital. She received excellent care. Once she was cleared by their veterinarian we were approved and adopted her. Those who read this posting..So many seniors don't have this luxury of care. Far too many "potential" adopters would rather have a very young Yorkie. She may only have a few years left but our mission is to provide the love and care she has never had the chance to experience. In short, don't overlook a senior when thinking of adopting a dog regardless of the breed...All they want to do is love you back three fold.....We thank Florida Yorkie Rescue for providing us the opportunity to adopt her. One big factor to consider when donating to a charity...How much of your dollar actually goes to the charity and how much goes to "administrative fees.".....Consider that when you receive a piece of mail to donate to XYZ charity....By donating to FYR, you can rest assure 99.9% is going to the care and welfare of the animal...Are they selective who they let adopt a dog from them?? Yes they are and for good reason...their mission is to find a "Forever Home" for them....Very, impressive organization....

Florida Yorkie Rescue does amazing work. Kit and her volunteer staff are truly angels on earth. It's great that she always tells the story of each rescue and posts pictures (before and after); she gives you all the details of what is going on with their life, how they were brought to FYR, their medical needs and care and the costs and then where the rescue goes for their forever home and even posts pictures of the adopted family. I have donated and will again - they perform miracles with the donations and volunteers they have. These dogs are so lucky to be at FYR. If only all rescues operated the same way what a great world it would be. God bless FYR, Kit and her staff of angels. Please keep up the good work and thank you!!!

I have seen small dogs in such bad shape come into Florida Yorkie Rescue. Somehow they manage to find the dogs in the mess of hair and who knows what they have on them. They care for their medical needs, their spay or neuter, whatever the dog needs. I know some of the ones they have rehabilitated would have been put down by others. FYR gets these dogs who have known abuse and neglect, fix whatever is needed and find them appropriate homes. Because most of the dogs are 5 pounds or less, they do a home study to make sure the dog will be safe. I wish I could do what they do. There are many sad things, but to take something some human basically threw away and fix them up and find them homes is, I am sure, a heartwarming thing.

I saw a picture of this little 4 pd Yorkie on FYR site and read his story.. he had a lot of aggression and would be hard to place. I applied and was approved to adopt my little Max. (just a couple months ago) .. With this adoption I have made some great friends and have almost tamed this little cranky dog.. lol.. he has stollen our hearts .. I love that FYR is so careful when placing these precious little babies.. It is amazing to me how hard they work at matching the right dog with the right family.. (sometimes they get bashed online by people who were not allowed to adopt from them) but they continue to put these little fur babies first!
THANKS FYR! you are awesome!

We are so happy that "Mr. Cranky Pants" has found a new owner. From what we have heard he is no longer cranky, instead a very much loved and cherished part of your family and he is now a happy little camper. Bless you guys for taking him in when no one else would. The power of L.O.V.E!

Florida Yorkie Rescue is a truly amazing organization ..Kit and her volunteers go above and beyond to rescue and nurse these tiny helpless babies back to health..I adopted a beautiful baby boy in December and couldn't have been more impressed by Kit and Diane's professionalism. The love they have for their rescues is wonderful.

I am a donor to this wonderful organization and, just recently, I was able to be a transport volunteer. I wish I lived closer, I would help them all I could. Kit and her wonderful volunteers give a chance for a new life to all their furbabies, regardless of age or condition. FYR has rescued so many Yorkies and Yorkie Wannabes from all conditions, even from puppy mills in other states, they are angels on Earth! God bless them for what they do!

Florida Yorkie Rescue is a wonderful organization. Their volunteers truly care for these precious yorkies, some of which have been abandoned or abused by uncaring owners. Kit and her team work tirelessly to nurse them back to health and show them the love they have been denied. FYR's motto should be "No Yorkie Left Behind!"

I have followed FYR for a while and noticed how hard they work for these babies, especially the sick ones. We adopted our new baby from FYR. Sofia (Cosette) is the perfect dog for us, just the right temperament for our family. She is such a funny little thing she just keeps us laughing! Kit especially works hard for the babies, and makes surethat the home they go to is the right one for all involved.

Years have taught me there's a great deal of corruption everywhere, including animal rescue organizations. Florida Yorkie Rescue is a true sanctuary for Yorkies, where even the most damaged are given every fighting chance medically. I've watched quietly as dogs with severe medical issues weren't turned away - knowing it would be an enormous financial and emotional burden - rather taken in and given the help and homes they always deserved. The reverence and respect FYR shows these animals is solid, beautiful and trusted. I personally support FYR because I need to know these Yorkies will be given every fighting chance, and adoptees screened THOROUGHLY, and FYR steps up and consistently provides both.

I follow Florida Yorkie Rescue very carefully! I have found Kit and the volunteers to be totally selfless in their rescuing and caring for these dogs in need. Kit is totally dedicated to her work with helping these precious little ones who otherwise might not have a chance at a new life. She seems to be very careful in her selection of adoptive homes and doesn't just adopt them out to make room for new ones. I have been touched by her love, devotion and caring of these precious little forgotten furbabies. I pray for her, her husband and the little dogs every morning that their needs are met in every area. I live in another part of the state and I am not able to volunteer or help her which I would love to be able to do! I do try to support her financially when I can and prayerfully daiy. I am so thankful that there are rescues like Florida Yorkie Rescue who genuinely care and love these little dogs. God bless Kit, all the volunteers and Florida Yorkie Rescue for the devotion they show to the helpless!

I really should be able to check all the boxes for my role since I have been a client served, a volunteer and now am honored to be a Board Member. I am blessed to have adopted two Yorkies that FYR rescued from horrendous circumstances, nursed to health and rehomed with me. Barney was kept in a cage his whole life. He came to FYR nothing but skin and bones with severely infected teeth and those that weren't infected were cracked and worn down from trying to chew his way out of his cage. Sidecar was abused to the point of a severely fractured ankle which was not treated for well over a month. FYR took these dogs in, supplied the medical/surgical help that they needed. They gave them love and security and found them homes (with ME!) The adoption process is thorough because they match dogs with adopters who are willing and able to provide the best possible homes for their dogs. They have a 100% success rate. Some dogs may wait a little longer for that furever home, but are kept in foster homes and loved until the right people come along.

FYR has an incredible network of vets, transporters, adoption facilitators. At no time have I ever seen anything but the utmost concern for the dogs and their well being.

FYR also takes in dogs from Puppy Mill busts, hoarding situations and unscrupulous "rescue" groups.
I can't say enough about FYR and that's why I volunteer my time and my heart with them.

We're currently stationed overseas with the US Army, but our home is Florida. As of right now I have only been able to watch this wonderful group from afar through social media. I am super impressed by their compassion, eagerness, willingness and capability to help as many pups as humanly possible. And what a super group of volunteers they have around them.....always willing to jump in and sometimes drive clear across the state to help another fur baby. I can NOT wait to be closer to home again...get involved and get a brother or sister for our sweet Emma girl from Florida Yorkie Rescue, Inc.

Florida Yorkie Rescue has to be the the most caring, compassionate group of people I have ever met! I have helped with transporting dogs for them a couple of times and they are always extremely organized and on top of every detail. The entire group of volunteers, fosters and board members give 100% of themselves for these little dogs. They absolutely make sure the homes the dogs are adopted out to are the perfect match for each situation. I love FYR and they deserve so much recognition and commendation for their efforts to better the lives of the sick, abused and unwanted dogs that they take care of.

Although I have just signed on as a volunteer I have been a "cheerleader" for this unselfish organization for sometime. Everyone works so hard to save these poor "throw-away" fur-kids. It is an amazing organization of which I cannot say enough. Wish I could give more then 5 stars. Kit is amazing and she deserves many, many more stars for what she and this organization and volunteers do.
