A Rescue, Re-homing and Adoption Agency
Our Mission Statement
The mission of Rocky Mountain Yorkie Rescue, located in Colorado, is to rescue Yorkie/Yorkie mixes. We are committed to educating the public, our adoptees and volunteers about the Yorkshire Terrier Breed. We pledge to provide a loving and caring environment and keep the pup safe until a forever home can be found within the Colorado area. Our focus is not finding the right pup for a home, but finding the right home for each and every pup.
Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal.

Junie is Looking for Her Forever Home!
Please allow me to introduce Junie. She is 8ish. I am posting her age as 8, as no one knows her exact age. Junie is undoubtedly a misunderstood Yorkie. She is spayed and weighs 11 lbs.
Junie spent most of her life in a kennel used for breeding. Someone adopted her from the backyard breeder at one point, but that did not work out. Then, the new owner contacted RMYR, and we graciously took Junie into our care. Junie was perfect. She was adopted after she had had a complete dental. That too did not work out for the family. Junie then returned to me because they had a petite Yorkie, and Junie attacked her. Junie must never be in a home with another dog smaller than her. She does exceptionally well with dogs her size or bigger. Junie has never bitten a person. In due time, she wants to please her owners.
Junie has been doing wonderfully in our home with our Yorkies. She is extremely shy at first and must gain your respect, which will take at least two weeks. Please be patient with her and give her the time to trust you.
She eats well and is housebroken. We let our Yorkies and Junie out several times a day with supervision. None of our Yorkies are left unattended to roam outside. Junie sleeps through the night in our bed with two other Yorkies without a peep.
Junie is in perfect health, with no cataracts or hearing issues. She also has zero issues with running, playing, or jumping. Her vaccinations are due in May, and we will provide them prior to adoption.
We are requesting:
- a stay-at-home adult and a fenced yard.
- Per our website, no children under 10
- Junie must NEVER be kept in a kennel again.

Ways We Serve Yorkies & How You Can Help

Deciding to surrender your pet can be a very emotional experience for both you and your pet. We at the Rocky Mountain Yorkie Rescue would like to make that decision and the surrender process as easy as possible for you. Yes, surrendering your dog may be difficult but it may also be in the best interest of your dog.

Be a foster home. We are ALWAYS looking for good, stable and loving FOSTER homes that will open their heart to a dog that needs them. If you think you have what it takes to foster, fill out our Foster Application
