He's such a love bug! A happy, energetic PUPPY. Can you spell A-C-T-I-V-E?
He was abandoned in Philly so the shelter called us. We called him Pilgrim because it was on Thanksgiving that we were notified about this little guy. He is approximately 12 weeks old. So he is young and not housetrained but working on it. He is not sure what to expect next so he needs someone who knows dogs and can train a puppy. No couch potatoes need apply. If you don't walk everyday, this isn't the dog for you. He would be unhappy in an apartment. He has done very well with the foster sisters who ignore him although he tries to be friendly. He needs lots of training, discipline and lots of love and attention. If you are gone for 8 hours a day this isn't the dog for you. Give him a few days to settle down, have his neutering done and we'll be better able to tell you more about him. Put him on your list of sweeties only if you have time to train a puppy and love to walk, will take him to obedience training and know what you are getting into with such a young, intelligent puppy. Please put your application in BEFORE you call the foster mom. Thank you!

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.
