Gizzmo is available for adoption.

He is 8 years old and weighs 10 lbs.

His adoption fee is $350.00.

Gizzmo has settled in nicely. He has had his dental and neuter. Gizzmo still loves everyone he comes in contact with and lets you know not by backing but by wiggling his entire body in excitement.. Unlike my boys, he doesn’t bark at the neighbors as they walk by or chase squirrels. In fact I don’ think he likes hanging outside all that much. Gizzmo is happiest with his person. He will go up to other dogs and do the standard sniff test but so far hasn’t shown much interest in playing. He does well on a leash and loves riding in a car. When I let them all out to do their business Gizzmo trots over to the grass, does his thing, and immediately comes back to be near me. When I am in the house Gizzmo wants to be in the room with me. If I am on the sofa he will lay down next to me. When I sleep, he wants to be close enough to touch. In fact right now, while I am typing this note Gizzmo is quietly laying down on the floor next to my feet. The only time he barks is when he wants something to eat or to get his belly rubbed. You can tell Gizzmo was well loved (and spoiled) by his person.  

Gizzmo would be perfect for someone who is retired or works from home. Someone who would like to take walks and go for a ride. He doesn’t require a large yard or other dogs to occupy his time, just you.

Gizzmo is staying with Sandy, Eli, and Dunkin 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.
