Jerry DeRoche (pictured above) is the co-founder of Yorkie House of Hearts as well as Florida Yorkie Rescue. We call Jerry our resident "yorkie whisperer" as he tends to be able to calm down the new arrivals and make them feel safe and cared for. Kit says, "A man with a bigger heart I have never known." Together they are praying that Yorkie House of Hearts will become a reality in the not too distant future. The timing of this endeavor will of course be up to God.
.
The mission of YORKIE HOUSE OF HEARTS is to provide a sanctuary for yorkies that may be too old for adoption. Yorkie House will accept senior Yorkshire Terriers (and other tiny breeds) regardless of age. We pledge to promote responsible pet ownership through education and to provide a loving environment and quality medical treatment for all the seniors that are in our permanent care if a new loving adoptive family cannot be found.
Jerry and I have been rescuing yorkies for almost 17 years and it is heartbreaking to us every time we receive an email from a shelter with yet another senior yorkie that has been surrendered. Sometimes they are found abandoned in the streets or surrendered by their owners but more often than not, a family member has died and the surviving family has no wish to continue to provide care for the senior pet. Because the owner did not provide a Pet Trust or leave their precious pet in their Will, provisions and decisions were not made. It is heartbreaking.
We have always had a soft spot in our hearts for the seniors because they have the "deck stacked against them" and many of them do not make it out of shelters alive.
So we vowed that one day, we would somehow, some way create Yorkie House and save as many of these seniors as we could, hence the concept of YORKIE HOUSE OF HEARTS was born!
