McGuyver is a young Yorkiepoo, about two years old and close to 15 pounds. He has been with us a little over a month now and he seems more relaxed and comfortable as he understands the routine in our home. He is a really fun pup with a lot of energy! McGuyver is very playful- stuffies, balls, bones - he will play with it all! He loves to be outside to run, run, run, and his passion is hunting for chipmunks ,squirrels and birds. He is very athletic and can jump like an olympian hurdler, so a secure fenced yard is a must for him.
McGuyver is good with commands like sit, come, off, and go to bed. We are working to learn other basic commands. McGuyver is smart and will try hard to do what you ask of him. He is also good with doing his business outside, sleeps well in his bed at night, and gets super excited when his people come home. His energy level is high all day, but he always enjoys some snuggling before bed and in the morning. He is quite the attention seeker! He’s not sure about baths but he loves to be brushed. He even lets me brush his teeth. McGuyver definitely has a favorite person, however he barks at other people in our home currently, which we are working on and are seeing some progress. He gets along with our dogs but can be unaware of his body, so sometimes he gets in their space. As a young dog who has moved around a lot he needs some extra training and positive experiences to help him learn to become the best boy possible. He will need more formal training. McGuyver wants to please and be loved! One day his dream of finding the perfect family will come true! He is currently staying in Bloomsburg, PA.
McGuyver is staying with Tammy in Bloomsburg, PA.

KEEP THESE FACTS IN MIND: 1. Yorkies do not usually get along well with small children and can be injured by small children, even ones who love them. Be aware of this and keep them apart. 2. Yorkies can be very difficult (nearly impossible) to housebreak. If you are gone for more than 3 hours at a time, the dog will have to have access to wee wee pads, or need someone to stop in to let him out to potty. 3. We almost NEVER get a puppy (less than one year old) in Yorkie Rescue. If only a puppy will do, check the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America website for a recommended breeder - never buy over the Internet, or from a newspaper ad or a petstore. The heartache you save will be immeasureable. 4. There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie, so don't be misled by such a description. LEARN about the breed BEFORE you decide to adopt. 5. You will need to make arrangements to drive and meet the dog at the foster home which can be in New Jersey, western PA, Maryland, etc. The dog's biography lists where the dog is fostering. We want you to meet the dog with your family and your dog, if you have one. This is a requirement for adoption.
WHAT IS THE ADOPTION FEE? Adoption donations generally vary from dog to dog, it depends on the health, the age and the size of the dog.
Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult.
ADOPTION AREA
Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you.
Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
