Prince of Lancaster is available for adoption.

He is 6 years old and weighs 16 lbs.

His adoption fee is $450.00.

Prince has been both a champ and a skamp this week.   No after surgery issues following his dental.  Didn't even need the pain medication after the first full day of being home. The dental rinse prescribed has been a struggle.  He just won't be still.  Without a doubt, he'd win first prize in a wiggling, head shaking contest!  He'll go back to the veterinarian on November 6 for a re-check and permission to start replacing canned food with kibble.  
 
As to the skamp part, exploring the den trash can, jumping up on to a kitchen chair to check out the table and while no one was looking, grabbing a 1/2 sandwhich from my TV tray qualify him as a skamp.  Like a toddler, he needs supervision.  Left to his own devices he can get into mischief.  Having a safe zone for him when all family members are out will be important.  
 
Outside for potty is growing close to 100% and now he is signaling us to go out or, better yet, for a walk by talking and barking to get our attention.  He is also improving on the sit command.  Easily motivated by a treat, we think training him further to "stay" and "come" may be easier than with a non-food motivated dog.  By far the best time this week, a Prince sloppy kiss wakeup call for my husband, Chuck!  Watch for a new picture soon.  We hope to have him groomed this week.

Prince of Lancaster is staying with Julia in Fairfax, 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.
