Skippy is a Biewer (pronounced Beeva).

It is a brand new breed based on a Yorkie - it is very similar - the colors are different. It is parti colored and Skippy is gorgeous.

Just 10 months old and he is a darling. Skippy has been wonderfully loved and treated like a prince. He was surrendered because his mom had other dogs that she had to care for and she wanted Skippy to have lots of attention - as he deserves. He is a healthy, happy, slightly timid boy.

If you can do the following, put in your application. If you cannot do all of the following, please apply for a different dog:
1- Socialization, socialization, socialization!
2- One on one obedience classes.
3- This is not a dog to keep another dog company while you are not home.
4- He'll need someone who is firm & has experience in modifying behavior.
5- He needs long daily walks.

He's getting more comfortable & more things are showing up. The first day we had him he barely moved. Now he's exploring & showing dominance.

A real live Biewer! Very exotic, unusual and very special. Do your homework, find out all about Biewers and learn what that is.

Then put in your application. Skippy is in Reading, PA with his foster mom, Kathy.

What a special dog he is!

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.
