Introducing Handsome Jack, a big, sweet, healthy boy! He is currently adjusting to an abrupt change in his life. We think it has been harder on him than most and we only wish we could speak "Dog" to reassure him that he will be just fine. We have fallen in love with our "Hunka Hunka Boy"!
Jack is an owner surrender from a family that took very good care of him and had him since puppyhood. The family had their first baby and felt that Jack needed more attention than they could currently provide. He is fully vetted: neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has no health problems. He gets along well with other dogs. He seems to be house trained as his intake foster mother has reported not one "slip up". That is rare in a new environment and very commendable! A very, very, good boy.
We would like Jack to have a home with a family that will take him for walks (which he LOVES), talk to him kindly, and enjoy the great companion that he will be. At seven years old, he is a solid adult and with many happy years ahead. Maybe with you? He will be fostering near Lancaster, PA.

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.
