Update 7/12/ 2014
Ernie is a walker ... he adores his long walks on a lead, 

several times a day.
He will let you know when it's time to go for a walk, or to play,
by barking at you!  
He is also an early riser ... usually up between 5 and 6 a.m.;
goes out to the yard to do his business, then he is happy to come back to bed and snooze.
So far... the latest we've made it in the morning is about 5:45 a.m.

Ernie really needs a household who are early risers ...
and who are committed to walking him, several times a day.
Just going out into the yard isn't sufficient.
If they have another playful, active, small dog, that would be great,
as he loves playing with other dogs.

Update 6/15/2014
Energizer Ernie-O is an adorable, affectionate, loving little boy who is looking for his forever home.

Ernie-O is very, very active -- he loves to go for long walks, play with his toys, and run around the yard.  He adores playing with other dogs and has not yet met a dog he didn't like.  He loves getting belly rubs and giving kisses!

Ernie-O needs an active home who will take him on walks several times a day, and play with him regularly.  He can enterain himself when necessary ... playing with toys or chewing on his nylabone ...
but his preference is playing with you!

Ernie is housebroken and will let you know when he needs to go out.
He is crate trained, but he would prefer to sleep in bed with you.
He is an early riser - but once he goes outside and does his business, he is happy to get back into bed with you and go back to sleep.
He is great with other dogs, does well with older children and teenagers ...
He's not so sure about cats ... he doesn't understand why they don't want to play!
He rides well in the car.

Ernie-O will make your family a wonderful companion!

Ernie-O is vacationing with Kathy and Teddy in Marlton, NJ.

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.
