Gemma is available for adoption. 

She is 7 months old and weighs 8 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $800.00.

Gemma had her surgery and is completely healed.  

Having her in my home the last 2 months has allowed me to learn a lot about her. Gemma loves everyone, loves to run around in the backyard, does great meeting new people and handling a visit to the vet. When traveling she is the perfect passenger. She just lays down in the seat next to me. The only time she is unsure is when I crack a window. The noise of the air coming in makes her nervous for some reason, but as soon as I close that window she quiets down. 

At the beginning Gemma was most concerned with where I was but now she is comfortable anywhere in the house as long as one of my dogs is there. Gemma loves playing with toys, gnawing on her chew toys, and throwing a tennis ball in the air, but ultimately her favorite thing is playing with one of my dogs. She would play all day long if my dogs would agree to it and ishe follows them n the yard everywhere. She would definitely do best with a fenced in yard and if possible another dog that would play with Gemma.

Gemma is staying with Sandy, Dunkin, and Eli in Richmond, VA.

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.
