A shopping cart. A Giant Food Store shopping cart - that's where he was left all alone. He can't see very well so he couldn't get out of the cart. The Store Manager was so incensed when he saw this poor little morsel of a dog that he checked his security cameras but could not find the dirty culprit who would do such a thing.

Carter went to the local shelter and where they had to shave him because of the dirty, fully matted hair. They trimmed his nails that were long and curling. They treated the skin that was sore from being pulled by the matts.  

In spite of the neglect, Carter is a people lover!

He is a very very friendly little man. Not too fond of other dogs' continuously sniffing his butt but he isn't aggressive with other dogs by any means. In fact, Carter gets along with other small dogs. He would love to be held by you, on your lap.

He figured out how to use the doggy steps to get up on the couch at his foster daddy's. He is a smart man! He loves to have his head scratched, and loves attention.

Carter was all excited when his foster mom's grandkids came over to see him and was
jumping on their laps and he was kissing them and playin with toys. He
loves kids.

He just started to play with toys .. We think he would be good for an older
couple or maybe a family with kids that are older. We don't think he has
to be the only dog in the family just not with a bunch of hyper young
dogs.

He likes men and likes to hang out on the couch with thehusband
and watch tv and sleep.  

Here is a link to an excellent book about adopting a dog: http://www.dogfencediy.com/rescue-dog/

Carter is even microchipped! He is ready for adoption if you are. He is vacationing in Lancaster, PA   If you would love to have a dear little man who would love to have YOU! call Liz and Andrew and ask for Carter - from the shopping cart.

Save A Yorkie Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) qualified non-profit organization operating on donations from Yorkie lovers who care. Please help by donating your tax deductible donations.

YOUR generosity is appreciated!

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, ask us for a recommended breeder - never buy over the Internet, from a local 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 Long Island, or PA, or 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 range from $250-$450 depending on the health, age and 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 being adopted.

 

Why does SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE charge that amount for a rescued dog?

THE AVERAGE COST FOR EACH YORKIE BEFORE IT GOES TO IT'S NEW FOREVER HOME IS OVER $600.00 ! ! !

This includes (if needed) but is not limited to:

a Vet exam, bringing the dog up to date on vaccinations (most dogs have little to no shots when brought in), a fecal check, a heartworm check, a lyme disease check, food, spay/neuter, a dental cleaning for severe problems, treatment for mange, grooming, treatment for ear mites...some dogs require even more. If you had to pay for all of this, you would be spending many hundreds of dollars too!

We charge a higher fee for the younger healthier dogs to help off-set the cost involved with the older dogs that come into the rescue.

 

ADOPTION AREA

Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, NY, DE, VA, CT area's, but will consider homes in nearby surrounding states. Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
