Hi my name is Charles. I am 5 years old and I weigh about 5.5 pounds. I am a special needs little guy. I have a condition called Mega Esophagus. I need to eat 4 small meals a day. I regurgitate clear fluid sometimes because my tummy produces too much fluid. I am a goofy guy and am a love bug. I love to snuggle on the couch and in bed. I love to go on walks, sniff bushes, be in the sunshine and my favorite is to go in the car and stand on your lap while I look out the window. I will make you very happy if you adopt me. I kinda have had a rough life. I was rescued from a shelter by my foster mom. I have a lot of love to give. I also like a bath once a week so I smell good for the ladies. Fill out an application or call 858-213-9181 if you want to adopt me or email tiffini@yorkierescueofamerica.org.

Meet Teacup Chelsea, a beautiful 3 year old purebred 3.5 lb Yorkshire Terrier. The tiny princess lived with an eighty yr old woman who had to go to a nursing home. Her previous owner doted on this little girl but could not take care of her. When Chelsea came to Saving K9 Lives Plus, she was terrified, shaking. We let her out in the backyard to pee and she jumped into our swimming pool. Thank God, she is a great swimmer! This little girl blossoming as she is learning social skills. Chelsea has one issue. She was bred down to be a teacup unfortunately her teeth paid the price. Her teeth are too big for her mouth, so she lost her front set of teeth. Chelsea is on a fresh food diet. She will need regular maintenance on her teeth. Chelsea is spayed, current on vaccines and microchipped. Teacup Chelsea's adoption is $500. Please email adoptions@savingk9livesplus.org for additional information.

Little Chihuahua saved from Death
In early December, I went to the South Central animal shelter with my daughter, Heather to rescue a dog for her. Heather recently had put down her beloved doggie son Mambo of 15 years and was devastated. On the 1st day there we looked at various dogs and Heather decided on a 1 year old blue heeler named SPIKEY (he is now named ENZO).While there we noticed a cute little chihuahua/terrier/beagle mix rolled in a ball, shivering and shaking. He was in one of the big halls of cages and seemed out of place in that area because of his small size. The following day, when we returned to pick up SPIKEY/ENZO, Heather noticed the little dog still rolled in a ball and shivering/shaking. She asked the staff who was taking care of us (a wonderful woman named MONA) if the dog could be moved to a warmer smaller area and be given a blanket. Mona said "of course" and that the dog shouldn't have been in that big room ,anyway...and that the poor thing had not moved from that position since he was brought in. Mona got a blanket and took him to a smaller room that was warmer with only small dogs and put him in a small cage. The dog responded very well to that and was standing up and moving around in the cage. Heather and Mona moved on to take care of the adoption process for SPIKEY/ENZO, while I stayed behind with the little dog. I spoke to him and said " don't worry, little guy, u are going to be OK" ( of course , I didn't know that at the time, but I hoped that him being in that room and in the center of the room and at eye level, he might get a better chance to be seen and adopted). He licked my finger thru the cage bars, and I decided that I would try to help him. I took his photo and started to network to try to find him a home. I offered to pay for all costs involved if someone would adopt him. I could not keep him because of my asthma. I later heard that he was put in isolation because he had kennel cough and an eye infection. I knew that meant that no-one could see him, so his chance of adoption was ZERO. The night before he was scheduled to be euthanized, i was contacted by Jasmin Gabay from SAVING K9 LIVES PLUS . She told me that she found a foster home for him! We went down early the next morning to get the pup out of the shelter. The release was handled wonderfully by the sweet Tomika Johnson at the shelter. We used the license of Evidence of Love.
We then took the pup to the vet to be examined and treated. After that, he would have to be boarded before going to the foster home as he was sick and contagious. I felt sad about that because he would have to be in a cage again for 5 days , so I offered to keep him at my home until he got better. Well, the story gets more complicated, but to make a long story short, I fell in love with the dog ( who was named Little Joey by Jasmin because I was his "godfather"), and could not let him go. I decided to keep him! I am now not the godfather, but the father!
It brought tears to my eyes when I thought I would have to give him up. I saw how content and happy he was to be with me. I was so pleased to see him well fed, warm and sleeping comfortably in his new bed. The picture of this little one shivering and shaking in a cage kept coming to my mind, and I was pleased that I rescued him.
He has filled my heart with love for him. We are close pals. I am his daddy and mommy rolled into one. I will love him and protect him his whole life. He is safe, he is happy, he is alive!
I owe it all to my daughter, Heather for getting the ball rolling by noticing him and bringing him to my attention.
To wonderful Jasmin, founder of Saving K9 Lives Plus, who is truly an angel on earth! Her love of and compassion for animals is an inspiration to me! I became a crusader! To Stella Lee, founder of Evidence of Love, who was kind enough to let us use her license when I was only gonna be the "godfather"! And to Tomika Johnson at New Hope SLA who is a blessing to the animals that need our help so desperately.
THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!! Little Joey and I are both very happy and thankful!
God Bless you all!
Sincerely,
Joey Carbone with Little Joey Carbone

I waited for you.. -Author: Andrew Siegele-
"Woof!" I said as you started the car,
"Hooray!" I said, it's my first time afar.
The scents we were passing were all new to me,
For it was my first introduction to this mystery.
As we got out of the car I embraced you with joy, After all you remembered to bring my favourite toy!
You threw it once or twice, of which I retrieved,
But on the third it seemed you were ready to leave.
You threw it long and hard and I chased it like lightning,
But when I turned to bring it back I saw a sight quite frightening.
I gripped my toy hard as I tried to comprehend
What it was I did wrong to make our relationship end.
You walked back to your car as I sat there still loyal.
Why am I subservient and you so royal?
Your engine started, and you peeled out into the night,
You didn't even care about my overwhelming fright.
As I sat in my pose determined you would come back,
The sun faded behind me while the surroundings turned black.
Day after day I stayed in that park,
Lying... waiting... too feeble to bark.
As I lay there dying thinking of you master,
I asked myself how I got into this horrifying disaster.
With my last breath of life, I whispered your name
Then I collapsed in a heap overrun by pain.
Why didn't you love me master? Why didn't you care?
Had I no significance, was I just a clump of hair?
I stayed there master and I waited for you
I guess taking care of me was just too much to do.
I'm gone now master, no more You-and-I
But what I can't figure out is why you didn't even say goodbye...
