Rocky - was a very sick little boy when we got him. He was limp and unresponsive even after sub Q fluids.

It looked really bad for Rocky just 3 days ago. He was lethargic, vomitting, so skinny - starved because of some health issue that was making him deathly ill. His foster mom was worried so about him, she hand fed him, syringed water into his mouth, carried him out to potty... I expected that dreaded call, "He passed last night..." instead I got the call that he was better!

Yes, he is much better. He strained and strained to potty and out popped a small round piece of plastic from a brake fluid container! It was plugging him up. Once it was out - Rocky came alive. He shook himself all over, stood up and asked, "What's for dinner?" He is eating, he is drinking and life is opening before him once again.  He is going to make it! Thank you for your prayers. God has given us a miracle and his name is Rocky.

He will be neutered today and then he will be ready to be adopted. This is one valiant dog. He had the heart to survive. He is as sweet as they come. One wonderful Yorkie.

The vet says he is extremely emaciated but good food and love with take care of that. And its summer, he will have the best time of his life this year.  Yeah Rocky! Yeah Mary Ellen, his foster mom who was watching him so closely, yeah for Rescue!!!!

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.
