Who
is CYTR?
Canadian
Yorkshire Terrier Rescue (hereinafter referred to as CYTR) is comprised of
volunteers dedicated to the welfare/rescue of Yorkshire Terriers and like mixes
which also tends to include the Silky Terrier breed which is sometimes mistaken
for a Yorkshire Terrier. These Terriers come into CYTR’s care from a variety of
situations such as owner surrenders, pounds, kill shelters, unwanted, abandoned,
neglectful, abusive situations, puppymills, etc.
Although
our focus in Rescue remains with the Yorkshire Terrier breed, we do work with
breeds and rescuers of most small dogs and we will work with other rescue type
organizations to ensure that the animals best interest comes first.
What does CYTR do?
To ensure that we meet our
goals to save a dogs life, or improve upon its living conditions, we liaison
with kill and
non-kill shelters, pounds, other rescues, owners,
veterinarians, groomers,
trainers,
and whomever
else we
can. We do believe that with these combined efforts we can cut down on the
number of animals that are euthanized needlessly each year.
If you or anyone you know no
longer wishes to care for a Yorkshire Terrier, mix or like small breed, please
take comfort in knowing that CYTR is here to help. When an owner surrenders an
animal into our
rescue, we are not judgmental to the factors as to why an
owner
would like to find an alternate home for their dog(s). We respect everyone's
privacy. In fact we are aware that not all dogs and all humans can live
harmoniously within the same environment. Situation and lifestyle changes are
inevitable, and not everyone can care for an animal with special needs.
Within the comforts of our
approved and private
foster homes,
we then provide the necessary medical attention, rehabilitation, emotional
support and re-training for all the
dogs that come into our care. It is only then, and
through careful screening, that
we find loving forever homes for these delicate animals.
Please also note that
although we may place an animal in
your home, we
do insist that you return the animal to us for re-homing should
your lifestyle change.
We enforce
spaying/neutering your pet.
The key to our success is through education.
