Jonah is available for adoption.

He is 6 years old and weighs 5 lbs. and 10 ounces.

His adoption fee is $350.00.

Update:  Jonah is a joy to have. He is very low key and quiet, not much of a player, but certainly a lover.  He is happy to follow us around all day, or to keep his eye on us while he lays quietly in the slipper box in the hall that he has adopted for his day bed.  He is always ready for lap time and kisses.  His favorite thing is to be with you or in your arms.  He is eating well, and has gained weight.  Remember that at his first weighing, he was still matted and dirty.  Since then we have likely washed a half pound of dirt out of him! His potty training has gone very well.  He kept the belly band dry most of last week and has gone the last two days without it and no accidents.  I think that under the right guidance he will be soon be completely reliable.

Jonah recently came into rescue from a hoarding household and could not be cared for properly.  The conditions were deplorable and this poor little boy endured it all.  No animal should have to live like that and Jonah never will again! He has been vaccinated and examined by our vet, he was also dewormed.  He was very bony when we got him but he has been eating a good diet twice a day and has gained weight.  We have fed, groomed, exercised, and loved him for a few weeks and Jonah then had his dental cleaning, heartworm screen, micro chip placed, and neuter. Jonah has completed his vetting and is ready for his forever home.   Jonah just had his first grooming and look how beautiful he is!!!
Check out the pictures below to see how this beautiful little boy was forced to live his life.

He is vacationing in Ambridge, PA, with Cynthia and her gang.

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.
