 The former production manager at Norampac Industries, Inc., Gerald Mayfield, is a strong believer in animal rights. More specifically, Gerald Mayfield is a dog lover and the proud owner of Casey, his beloved Yorkshire terrier, who he adopted through the organization United Yorkie Rescue three years ago. United Yorkie Rescue is a volunteer organization that takes in Yorkshire terriers and Yorkshire mixes in many states. It places the animals it rescues in foster homes until “forever homes” can be found. In 2015, the group rescued 196 animals and found permanent homes for 191 of them.
 In some cases, individual dogs rescued by the organization are not candidates for adoption, usually because of serious medical problems. These animals enter United Yorkie Rescue’s “Forever Ours” program. They are placed permanently in foster care through organization volunteers, and money is provided, through donations, for their continued medical care. For example, terrier Baby lives in a foster home in The Villages, Florida. Baby has many medical issues associated with his tiny size (at age 11, he weighs only three pounds). The organization accepts donations for his medical care and posts updates on his progress, along with the names of his donors, on its website.
