Save A Yorkie Rescue recognizes the invaluable contributions of two exceptional individuals, Rita Stanley and Olivia Scalora, whose expertise and dedication significantly impact the lives of rescue dogs and their foster families. Their commitment to training and behavioral support ensures that these Yorkies receive not only physical care but also the guidance needed to thrive in their forever homes.
Rita Stanley has been a cornerstone of the Save A Yorkie Rescue organization, providing essential training and behavior knowledge to foster families. Her willingness to share techniques and patiently guide foster parents through challenges has yielded remarkable results. The positive outcomes achieved through Rita’s support have been instrumental in preparing rescue dogs for successful adoption, allowing them to embark on fulfilling lives with their new families. Her long-standing commitment has been a tremendous asset to the rescue’s mission.
The organization is also thrilled to introduce Olivia Scalora as the newest member of the Save Yorkie Rescue Board. Olivia brings a wealth of professional experience as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Canine Behavior Consultant. Joining SAYR in 2019 when she adopted her dog Phoebe, Olivia has since dedicated herself to the rescue’s cause. She currently shares her life with three beloved dogs, Winston, Phoebe, and Rhea, two of whom are SAYR alumni.
Olivia’s passion for canine behavior led her to graduate from the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy in 2022, and she has been actively pursuing her dream career in the dog world since 2018. Her involvement with Save A Yorkie Rescue has included fostering multiple dogs and providing crucial behavioral training that has prepared them for adoption. Furthermore, Olivia has been a vital resource for foster families navigating difficult behavioral issues with their charges. Her dedication extends to her own business, Olivia’s Pack, LLC, where she embraces new challenges daily and is driven by a desire to help rescue dogs in need, believing that every dog deserves a second chance. Recognizing that some dogs arrive with challenging pasts requiring specialized behavioral training, Olivia’s expertise is a critical component of the rescue’s success. She extends her services beyond her local area, offering convenient phone and video consultations for those seeking her guidance.
Save A Yorkie Rescue emphasizes a crucial warning to the public: Save A Yorkie Rescue does not solicit adoptions on Craigslist. Any postings found on this platform claiming to be from Save A Yorkie Rescue are fraudulent. Potential adopters are urged to flag and report such scams immediately to Craigslist.
The Save A Yorkie Rescue website serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in learning about the Yorkshire Terrier breed, determining suitability for their family, and contributing to the welfare of Yorkies in need. The organization stresses that saving a Yorkie does not require extraordinary heroism; a simple “Yes!” to helping is enough. Adoption is a wonderful way to save a Yorkie, but the rescue highlights numerous other avenues for support. These include making phone calls, assisting with transportation, participating in pet events, and spreading awareness about the breed’s rescue needs. The message is clear: there is a rescue for Yorkies, and you can be a part of it.
One of the most accessible ways to support the rescue is through Goodshop.com. By registering on the site, selecting Save A Yorkie Rescue as your designated cause, and utilizing the Goodshop shopping portal for online purchases, supporters automatically contribute funds to the rescue. This platform offers a dual benefit: enabling donations to the rescue while also providing significant savings through thousands of coupons for various goods and services. From group travel deals at Hotels.com to discounts on apparel from Reebok and party dresses from Saks Fifth Avenue, Goodshop.com empowers supporters to save money while simultaneously contributing to a worthy cause.
The rescue also celebrates supporters like Adam Green and his Yorkie, Arwen, showcasing the joyful bonds formed through adoption.
