Ok What are you waiting for, I am being neutered today! I will be ready to go to my forever home by Saturday. I play with my step brothers and sister - running from room to room and out the back door. Try to keep up with me!!! I let my foster mom know that I have to go out by patting at the door with my paw. Ok I'm READY, won't you make me part of your family....my forever home
If you want me to be part of your family please contact my foster mom and dad by phone or email. Please check out my videos, they are at the bottom of this page. Burnie is located in Kutztown, PA. That is about 25 miles from Allentown, PA.
***********************************
Crack! Whimper! Silence... What was that dirty bundle on the side of the road? Skunk? Ground hog? No, a dead dog... ah, how sad... No wait, it moved. His head moved ever so slightly. He's alive! Get him in the patrol car. Get him to the closest vet. Severe injuries... where's the owner? No one calls about him, no one comes to find him. He lays in a cage, waiting for whatever comes next. Finally, THEY call. "Put him down," they say. They don't want him. They won't pay for any of it. "Destroy him."
Poor Burnie. Just a puppy, running loose, unwanted, alone. The vet won't proceed. There is no alternative. A woman, an animal control officer steps in. She takes the time to stroke him. She looks into his eyes and sees the hope, still there, along with the pain. "Give me a chance, please, a chance. I'm just a baby." She blinks away tears and picks up her cell phone. One call later and Burnie's fate is sealed. He is coming into rescue. He's been given a second chance. Now things start happening rapidly. Rescue races to pick up Burnie and rushes him to urgent medical care. X-rays show the worst. Medication for pain and the uncertain prognosis are provided. Surgery is his only hope and even then... Did we really have a choice? Could we have said "No!"???? The operation was very expensive - the vet's guess was $3500. Already we had spent almost $1000. No choice. Beautiful Burnie needed his chance. He'd been abandoned by everyone who SHOULD have helped him.

If you would like to adopt Burnie, please fill out an application. He has the kindest big brown eyes... he's just a puppy... He is a great little guy. Beautiful Burnie is a special dog, very special. But he's alive, recovering, and begging to be allowed to play. If you are prepared to work with him, you may be the light we see in his laughing brown eyes.

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.
