who will never get adopted. He and Lou had been debarked and was used for breeding. In addition, she has two of her own dogs one, Scooter was ad- opted from YTNR. Presently she is temporarily fostering a little dog that will be going into surgery on Monday, and will keep her until she heals and then Bella will go back to her original foster, Susan who is here today. Marge has not only fostered these lit- tle ones in her home, and sometimes it could be over a year before the right family came along, but she has also traveled many miles in helping to transport them froma shelter, or from her home to their new home. YTNR is very grateful for all the wonderful work Marge has done and is still doing. We could not do this without her. In gratitude, we would like to present Marge Williams with YTNR’s Res- cuer of the year. Thank you so much for all you do for these little dogs that need so much help. Yorkshire Terrier National Res- cue ended their year with a Christ- masPaws Holiday Thank You Lun- cheon for their Southern California Volunteers who have contributed so much to the saving, rehabilitating and rehoming of all the little dogs that need rescue.We could not do the work without all of our volunteers.

cling to my leg with his front legs until the car passed; then I gave him an ok and we resumed. We paused for every car, and I sang for him as we walked. I grew immensely fond of this feisty, spirited dog. He could charm you by sitting up and begging, and he never tired of playing ball. I had done my job. Louie Louie was ready for a new life. I took a cute photo in a cowboy vest for his internet de- but. Louie Louie was to be adopted by a lady who had owned a blind dog. My YTNR friend Annwas a second foster until his new adopter got him. Ann’s husband fell in love with Louie Louie too, in the short time before going to his new forever home. Weeks later, I got an e-mail from Ann that made my heart sing! His new owner had taken him to a veterinary ophthalmologist who removed the white cataracts from his eyes, re- storing his sight! I was so happy that I called all my friends with the good news. Louie Louie was playing like a puppy and could see! This year YTNR has acknowledged the outstanding work of two volun- teers. Without dedicated people we would not be able to help and rescue these little dogs that so desperately need help.
