Uncle Sam lost everything when his family gave him away.  It is so hard to explain it to him.

But fear not!  Sammy is in the best place and he will have a wonderful place to vacation until one of you rescue angels takes him home.

He is a loving, sweet, healthy senior lap dog. Just as easy as it gets, a darling devoted lover dog. He loves to ride in the car and just look how clean and soft he looks. 

Give Uncle Sam the chance and he will have you loving him in no time. He is vacationing in Kingston, NY with Lyn and her family.

If you’re involved in animal rescue, you’re probably repeatedly disappointed when potential adopters skip right over some of the sweetest pets simply because they’re not so young anymore. Below are five fantastic reasons to adopt an older animal, please pass them along!

1. There are fewer surprises! An older animal’s size, personality, and grooming needs are pretty set in stone. You won’t be shocked when your 15 lb. puppy turns into a 75 lb. dog!

2. Training isn’t as intense: Many older pets have potty training down. Also, since they’ve had homes before, they’re typically more able to figure out what humans are asking of them.

3. Fewer chewed up shoes: Puppies are known for making messes. If you opt for a more mature dog, you’re also opting for less of a headache.

4. They’re full of love: It’s pretty obvious how grateful senior pets are for a happy home and they’re glad to repay you with unconditional love.

5. You’ll save a life! Senior pets are some of the last to be adopted. If you choose to open your heart and home to one of these loving animals, you’ll also be a hero.

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.
