Wesley is very skittish yet however he is a very nice dog. He is intensely interested in all the other dogs in our house to the point of being a bit intrusive on their personal space. They push back and he accepts the correction politely.

He likes to sit with foster mom on the couch and it seems like the only thing that calms him down. He paces the house constantly. He seems to like being outside in the backyard but he hasn't been out there too much because of how cold it's been. Well wait until the weather get warmer before we how much of an outdoorsman he likes to be. 

He slept very nicely last night on a dog bed pillow on the floor. He was quiet and even used the pee pads in the bathroom when he had to go. No accidents in the bedroom area so that tells me he is pee pad trained.

No accidents this morning in the rest of the house and he has even figured out how to use the dog door to get back inside. That was quick! It usually takes a couple days at least before a new dog will figure that out.

He had a meal of canned food last night and this morning he enjoyed some leftover steak that I softened up for him because of his recent dental work and jaw issues.

He has a real problem with collapsing trachea disorder and we have had a couple of incidents with it since he's been here. It can be pretty severe too. It is something that she will discuss with the vet this week when she takes him in to get his bloodwork taken and get an all around once over.

Overall, foster mom thinks he is a very good and nice dog and she believes he will fit in here very well once he gets settled in and familiar with everything.

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.
