Little Dusty came in as a stray (yeah -right - someone dumped him at a shelter after ignoring him for years). He is an adult Yorkie with a real-Honest-to-God tail! Very unique! 
He was starved almost to death - bones showing under his matted hair. His teeth rotted and loose. How he could be a stray is hard to believe but he is not neutered and THAT is why he may have wandered from home. Did you know that 9 out of 10 dogs hit by cars are unneutered males?  Yes - it is a death sentence and yet people don't neuter their dogs. Why don't vets insist on it?

Because Dusty is fighting infections, he is not even interested in food. He hasn't been playing much or going for walks - he is so weak from lack of good food and medicine - he almost died. Being on the verge of starvation does not make a dog want to play with toys. But he has a good foster mama who is temping him with treats and delicious food. He will soon to be a good dog - neutered and up to date on all of his shots.

He was just groomed and is beautiful. Dusty will be ready to go very soon. He is vacationing in Bristol, PA with his foster mom and a bevy of beautiful girl Yorkies - gets a long fine with them just fine - no aggression in this dog. For a nice quiet dog, good for a lap sitter loving person - Dusty is for YOU!

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.
