All those who know Yorkie911 Rescue will be laughing at the post by Jessica C. (see below). She claims she was "mauled" by a 5 lb maltese, claims we "begged her for years to foster", that we "were very impressed" with her, that the attack was "unprovoked", etc. This woman is totally delusional. She probably tried to break up a fight between her dog and the foster dog and stuck her face between them. This dog was so overweight, she couldn't lunge if she tried LOL! The attorney she tried to hire to sue us would not take her case as even he knew she was full of sh*t. She texted and called one of our volunteers regularly begging us for a dog (yes, we have all the text messages). Claiming that no one called to see how she was after being "attacked" is another lie and both Angela and another volunteer both reached out to her (again, we have the text messages to prove it). SHAME ON YOU, Jessica C. for these lies. And YES, the dog was adopted by a wonderful person and is living happily ever after!!! By the way, I recently received an email via Petfinder from Jessica C. trying to adopt from Yorkie911 again!! According to another source, she has been blacklisted from several other rescues. Jessica C. wrote: "I was mauled by a dog given to me from Angela of Yorkie 911. I had the dog for less then 24 hours when I was sitting on the floor and the the dog turned around and lunged at me. The review of the dog read loving, sweet likes other dogs,etc. I have a 5 1/2 maltese and Yorkie 911 begged me for years to foster a dog bc she knew how good I was with animals. I was interviewed by yorkie 911 at my home and they were very impressed with me, my home and my dog who played with her dog. After the unprovoked attack I needed to see a plastic surgeon and had 18 sutures placed above by lip from this attack. Never did anyone from that organization ever call me to ask if I was ok or how I was doing. I knew these people for years. SHAME on you YORKIE 911 for having no feelings or compassion for someone you scarred for life! A few days later I once again saw that dog being advertised by Yorkie 911 as sweet, loving, etc. Horrible and irresponsible!" read more

Yorkie 911 is a true life saver. In July of 2017 I lost my heart, my 11 year old yorkie Casey, to pancreatitis. He was my whole world and loosing him was the hardest thing I had ever gone through. It was hard for me and my husband, but it was even harder on his 10 year old yorkie brother Scooter. Scooter didn't want to be around people and would spend his days grieving in his bed. We knew we had to do something. I didn't want a puppy, as Scooter would probably not take to it as great. Well, a facebook post led me to Brinley. This beautiful Yorkie about 4-5 years old who needed a home. I fell in love with a picture and set up a home visit. A few days before we went to meet Brinley I got a call from Heidi, who runs the rescue. She informed me that he had shown some behavioral issues and wanted me to be aware before we continued. Her honesty with me made me feel so comfortable in the process, and nothing was going to stop me from bringing this guy home. We met and fell in love with Brin on 9/30/17. Can I say that it has all been perfect? Absolutely not, but what can I expect from a dog who has a mysterious past. Adopting a pet is never easy, but it is so worth it. Brin is the most affectionate little guy and I like to think that he knows how good he has it! Scooter is back to being himself, and loves the companionship of another dog in the home. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience in his adoption, and I am so greatful for all the lives saved by Heidi and Yorkie 911! They brought happiness back into my home! read more

A cousin recommended this rescue. We adopted Mocha, a Chiweenie, approximately 18 months old, two weeks ago. Heidi was wonderful to deal with throughout the whole process. She brought Mocha with her for the home inspection so we got to meet her and introduce her to our other dogs. Mocha has fit in nicely. We adopted her on a Saturday and on Monday I felt she might have not been feeling well. It wasn't their fault, just coincidence. Heidi immediately set me an appointment with the Vet the rescue uses and they too were wonderful. Mocha seemed like she was fine with the medication and then suddenly the following Monday she felt feverish and was mopey. Again Heidi jumped on it, giving me permission to see the Vet again. Mocha's blood work showed elevated white cell count. There was an infection somewhere. She's doing great now. She's still on medication and fitting in with our family nicely. Heidi was great to work with from start to finish and she didn't make me wait when I suspected something was wrong with Mocha. She was honest in her description of Mocha, letting us know she was a bit shy with new people, telling us what to feed her and how much and explaining she did better being fed in her crate and that she was crate trained. We followed all her instructions and we couldn't be happier with the new addition to our family. I have recommended the rescue to three people. read more

The people who help out at Yorkie 911 Rescue are some of the most selfless people that I have ever met. Heidi Walker goes above and beyond for both her rescue babies and the families that are lucky enough to adopt one of those babies. Two years ago at a particular time in our lives that we needed cheering up,We were already the proud owners of two eleven year old Yorkies but needed a new addition Heidi said I have the perfect dog for you. We went to Westbury Gardens where Yorkie 911 had a display area. Heidi picked up little Sammy (who is now named Harlan) and handed him to me. Instant love! My husband who said "no other dogs" was holding him next and whispering to him "you want a new mommy and daddy? Needless to say Harlan was the new kid on the block. He got along great with my other two. The following year, one of my original babies passed away, then it was just Harlan and Chelsea. Well two months ago little Chelsea passed away. Now Harlan needed a sibling, back to Heidi. She once again said I have the perfect dog for you, but she was out of state so we had to wait for her to be flown in. Last Monday little Jazzy arrived at Republic Airport, once again instant love. She is the sweetest little bundle of joy. I can't thank Heidi, Angela and all of the wonderful volunteers at Yorkie 911 Rescue who have made our lives whole again read more

We actually rescued our first... a "Carkie" (Cairn/Yorkie) about 3 years ago kind of by mistake. We went to look at furniture posted on Craig's list (the woman who posted the ad is a huge part of Yorkie 911 Rescue Angela) and were so overwhelmed by the kindness, love and generosity of spirit we witnessed in regard to these little charges. (Some were her dogs, some were boarders, and still more she was fostering...waiting for their forever home.) Well, we ended up buying the furniture AND getting the dog! Angela actually kept him a few extra weeks so that we could pick him up Christmas morning as a surprise to our daughter! Long story short...10 months later we got our 2nd rescue; and then 8 months later a third! So now we have a 3 1/2 yr old Carkie, and a 3 yr old and 2 yr old Yorkie! This is such a wonderful way to give a little dog a new home (for so many varied reasons) and both Angela and Heidi are so dedicated to this mission of finding forever homes for these little bundles of love! They have been there for me on multiple occasions when I had questions about anything: training, diet, housebreaking, medical, etc. I wholeheartedly recommend Yorkie 911 to people on a regular basis! (My sister rescued from them also on my recommendation.) When I look at my 3 little pups I wonder "Who rescued who"? Soooo much love! read more

Yorkie911 has changed my life for the better. A few years ago, we lost our 15 month old Maltese, Sophie. After a few weeks, our shih tzu was very lonely, so we went to the pet expo at Suffolk County Community College and met the love of our lives. King was a 1 and a half year old shih tzu mix with special needs, and a heart of gold. A forever puppy, we were told about his issues, and how they called him the 'Forest Gump of dogs'. We went home and filled out an application immediately. Heidi was extremely through in her home visit, asking great questions and making sure we were ready to take care of a dog like King. She told us about King's history, and that day we picked him up from his foster home and loved him until he passed away. In that time we've become part of the Yorkie 911 family, fostered dogs, and adopted a pair, who are amazing, well behaved and the sweetest dogs. The work Heidi does is amazing, and she is Super Woman. The events they throw are spectacular as well. Yorkie911 cares about the dogs they foster and adopt and goes above and beyond any of the other shelters I've worked with or adopted from. read more

Angels do walk this planet I've seem them here. They take in small breeds, give them a home, match them to a loving family, for their "furever" home. Volunteers you'll encounter at "meet and greets" - where a variety of adoption prospects can be seen, are sometimes their adoption sponsor. Note that all those who seek adoption must be vetted, ensuring all are happily placed. Pets are sponsored by a family until they can be placed - there is no kennel, they live with us, we get to know them and love them. I was one such sponsor. Sometime we fail to get our sponsor adopted, as we decide we cannot let them go. I failed. Rolfe Brodie is my rescue, a cherished little boy, too big for runways, ears not perfectly balanced, or too whatever, but perfect for me. Cannot imagine him not in my life. I herald the group whenever I can but can never thank enough them enough. Brodie does too :-) read more

Yorkie 911 was such a savior to me and my Yorkie Carmine. Just when I had given up on how to help him at 6 months old with so many health problems they kindly took him in and within a couple of days helped to find his cure and I still have him 6 years later . I have never met a more selfless person than Heidi and the rest of the fosters and volunteers. This really is a great organization . From their constant dedication to helping all small dogs to their fashion runways which Carmine proudly entered ;) I will always be thankful to them. as well for getting me into fostering and finding my foster failure pup Lola who is one of the best dogs I've ever had. They are such a generous and caring organization that will forever be in my heart! read more

We adopted out shitzu poodle mix from Yorkie911 Rescue. it is the first dog my husband and I have owned. Heidi Walker, who runs the organization - has gone above and beyond every step of the process and even after we adopted our dog she has been so supportive with all the millions of questions we had as new dog owners. She has patiently and quickly responded to any questions that came up as first time dog owners and continues to do so. Every member of the Yorkie911 team that we worked with was really incredible. We started off fostering for the organization and saw from the inside how well run and caring each team member in the organization is. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

Yorkie Rescue 911 is a fantastic organization. I rescued two Yorkies from them 5 years ago. We got wonderful loving pets who were completely bonded. Two years later when YR asked for help fostering dogs we volunteered to help. We fell in love with our Foster dog and kept him as well. Heidi Walker has been there to help & support us every step of the way!! The rescue has lots of great events during the year to help keep people in touch. The work they do in finding homes for these dogs is unbelievable. I would and do highly recommend them to anyone looking for a small dog.

We adopted our 2 dogs from Yorkie 911 3 years ago. This was our first adoption experience with pets and it could not have been smoother. Heidi is very warm and dedicated to the dogs. Our boys had all of their vet care and grooming prior with all records and paperwork provided to us. I would recommend adopting from them to anyone! It was worth the 3hr trip. read more

Heidi and the group of people who volunteer here are hard working selfless people. After meeting Heidi and supporting Yorkie 911 Rescue in their fund raisers for years, I became more involved and became a foster parent. It was a great experience, I had a small white poodle mix living with me for 3 weeks until he found his forever home. read more
