06-04-2024 Yitty is a kind soul who has came to us from a breeder to find her forever home. Yitty arrived extremely underweight and scared. After a couple weeks we realised she was pregnant. She shortly had 10 puppies but after a week developed a really horrible case of mastitis meaning we had to take her from the pups to be able to treat her properly. She came straight home into foster care. Yitty has now fully healed but lost the weight she had been able to put on whilst she was unwell so we’re slowly building her back up now but she is still very underweight. Yitty is very nervous of humans and she is a potential flight risk so needs a really experienced adopters with a secure home. Yitty will be looking for a home where there is another kind resident dog who is male and around her size or larger. She must be allowed on furniture, sleeping on the sofa and bed with me is how she is beginning to enjoy being in our company. Yitty is learning to walk on a harness/lead. Yitty likes to have dogs next to her to eat with her, otherwise won’t eat so the resident dog(s) need to be okay with this. She has a PETS passport travel doc.

Yitty is a super special girl. She is still very scared and very flighty. Safety would always need to take priority with Yitty, things like double leading, shutting a second door before opening a door to the outside world, just to eliminate any chance of her slipping out.
When Yitty knows her dog friend and knows her routine she does calm down, settle and can be slightly more relaxed, but she gets herself quite worked up quite easily, because of this she needs someone experienced with ex breeders.
She is a stunning stunning girl (who is due a groom,) who just needs someone to take the chance on her. She needs a resident male dog her size or bigger to learn from, who will not mind her lying in bed with them.
She is now happy to eat her food alone, but if anything upsets her routine and she is worked up she may skip a meal or two.
Yitty walks ok on her 3 strap harness and slip lead when there is another dog with her and she knows the route she's taking. If she's going somewhere new or doesn't have a dog friend with her she will really panic. I don't think yitty would be ready for formal walks in the big wide world for a while yet.
I can promise that Yitty would be worth the patience and love that you'd give her. She just needs someone who's willing to work with her, listen to her, and not give up on her. If you think this could be you please do pop in an application. I would not home Yitty with cats or small furries.

Yitty and I met for the first time today. She has such a grace about her, I was instantly captivated.  Sadly, she was very unsure of my intentions and nervous in my presence - and I understand that completely. Yitty gravitates towards her kennel friends for comfort and reassurance; and it seems she feels she can only trust other dogs and not people, it truly is heart breaking to see such a lovely girl in this state .. it makes me wonder what she’s been through to be feeling this way.  All of our perfect little souls so deserve to find their family .. their person, and for a special lady like Yitty, I feel she would progress much more in a home situation - a calm, quiet, relaxing environment to help her blossom.
Yitty will need a family and someone who will respect her space, her need for time, patience and understanding. To her forever family that I know is out there .. by giving her time and showing her that a home is full of love and that she doesn’t need to be so frightened anymore, will see the most fantastic companion I know she can be.

As of right now Yitty knows her routine and sticks to that like glue. Anything out of her routine really confuses her and she does have a little bit of a meltdown. Yitty knows the routine of going out- she comes to the corner of the front of the kennel to have her 3 strap harness and slip lead put on (all for safety as she's such a flight risk.) she knows and confidently walks her daily route to the yard- but if anything changes this route she instantly panics. She has gotten better at getting through and calming down from her panics but she is still very scared. The home Yitty is looking for right now is a very quiet one, where she has a safe space she can retreat to (like a crate or her own small room), with a male dog medium-large sized, who won't mind her being glued to their hip. She will need to be kept on lead (harness lead as she freaks with tension on her neck) while she's getting used to the garden, otherwise she will run in circles and you won't be able to get her back inside. In any potential meet and greets, I will be there to show exactly how to handle her on lead so that she has minimal panics. She needs someone super calm, confident, and willing to give her as much time as she needs. She has learned to love the yards here and does get excited when she sees me now, but this has taken months.When she's in her kennel she lays in the back watching the world go by, waiting for her next dinner time or yard time! She has a lot of potential she just needs the right people to see it.

Poor Yitty is still waiting for her forever home. She has progressed very well in the past few weeks in kennels, she thrives off routine. Every day we take her to the yard, when she sees her harness she runs to the front of the kennel and waits for us to put it on, she then pulls us to the yard the exact same route every time. Initially Yitty was very stressed in the yard, I imagine she felt very vulnerable in an open space. But now Yitty is a big fan of the yard and now has zoomies every time she goes out and will run around playing with her kennel friend, Milo. She LOVES the astro yards with obstacles to jump on and over. It's amazing to see her come out of herself like this. Yitty had her first ever walk last week, (she has not been ready before now,) and she was so brave. She had 1 spook but recovered quickly, and as long as her kennel friend was with her she did really well! If she lost sight of him she would start to panic though. She will always need a 3 clip harness and slip lead on walks, but will probably be at her most happiest when simply running around in the garden of her new home. Yitty spends her days super comfy in the back of her kennel watching the world go by. Yitty is a really special girl with a super tender soul. She has been through the unimaginable, from breeding and no love, to severe infection with no will to go on. Although she continues to progress in kennels, I think she would do really well in a quiet home environment where she has all the time in the world to adjust to her new life. She needs a MALE resident dog, medium to large size to go home with. A stable structure & routine. Experienced humans and no children or visiting children.

Yitty has been at Many Tears for some time now and it's so sad to see she's still here. I've been lucky to have worked with her a bit while she's been here and she's always been excellent with me. She still has her moments where she does get nervous and spooked but she has come along a lot while being at the rescue.
Whenever I get the privilege to work with her she always loves to go for a walk or down to the big sand yard. She walks lovely on lead and harness, but she sticks to the dog she is kenneled with as she sees them as comfort.
Yitty needs a calm, quiet, adult only home, with adopters who will be patient with her for her to thrive. She's come on leaps and bounds while being at Many Tears but she needs to experience that home life for her progress any further.
Please consider Yitty as she is ready now to progress to the next chapter in her life and find her new loving family and forever home.

Yitty is still a very nervous girl but with each passing day she is getting more and more brave. We've noticed that after a groom she is much more lively, happy and playful, so we are going to have her groomed more regularly and see if we can help her progress this way, as the week after she's groomed is always the week where she hits milestones in her confidence. Yitty has found so much confidence and comfort in her kennel friend Jumbo, that we would happily home these 2 together if someone didn't have a resident dog! It isn't a must, and Yitty would still need a male resident dog to go home to if they weren't to go together, but it would be a nice option for Yitty as we've all seen such a different side to her since she's been kenneled with Jumbo. She is still a very scared girly and safety would always be priority for her, but seeing the way she's growing lately is unbelievable! I see the potential of the kind of pet dog she will be in the distant future and get very emotional. Today she had a huge breakthrough; we go down 'the big yard' every day. Initially I kept a long line on Yitty as I wouldn't have been able to catch her to get her back in. Over months as her confidence has grown in the yard, I reduced the length of the lead being left on her until it was just 1 lead trailing. Last week I took all leads off her and she really let loose. Well today, for the first time, she sniffed around, had a wee, and even played with Jumbo. (I cried my eyes out when she started playing.) This is absolutely HUGE for her and shows with the right gentle push and lots of patience, she can get there! 

21-12-24 UPDATE


These two are so comedic. Jumbo has brought Yitty's silly side out, and for the first time ever I'm seeing Yitty become cheeky, characteristic, and just generally be a happy dog (she's been here 11 months!)
Jumbo LOVES toys, and because of this Yitty has started to show interest in them too! Every day we have the same routine, and every day I end up in stitches at their antics! They've both been going for long walks twice a week with one of our trusted volunteers and they both get so excited that even Yitty has started copying Jumbo and jumps up at the human with her harness with excitement now!
Any potential adopters must know that Jumbo will be a little nervous when he first goes to his new home but I think he'll settle fairly quickly, however the settling period for Yitty will be a long and slow one, and all I've said about safety aspects above for Yitty would still need to be prioritised, but with Jumbo there I think she'll settle quicker than if she went home with a dog she doesn't know. Once she has settled you will truly be the luckiest people, if I could spend all my time with these two, I absolutely would. They are just amazing!
