Koko is one of our Forever Foster's.  Will YOU Sponsor Koko?

A Forever Foster is a dog that is either older, has a medical condition or a socialization issue and seem to be unadoptable only because we receive no applications for these dogs thus we assume no one wants to adopt them.   Save A Yorkie Rescue will not euthanize a dog for these reasons and the dogs remain in rescue to live out their lives with their forever foster family.  Their remaining years (no matter what age they are) are spent being well taken care of and loved in their forever foster homes.   Save A Yorkie Rescue pays for all of their vet bills, including all medications they may be on, grooming, food/treats if on a special diet and any supplies one of these dogs may need. 

 

 

Save A Yorkie Rescue is able to provide for our Forever Foster's, only through the generous donations we receive from all of the Yorkie lovers out there!

Koko is an amazing 15 year old yorkie mix who came into rescue in February of 2021.  She was surrendered to the shelter because her family could no longer care for her.  She came in emaciated and sick.  After staying with a local member she was transferred to her forever foster home.  Since then she has had a dental cleaning and several vet appointments to bring her up to date on all immunizations and check up requirements.  She is now thriving in her new home.  She has gained weight and her fur has grown beautiful and thick.  She has been groomed multiple times and has begun wearing a bow like her foster sister.
 
When Koko first arrived at her forever foster home, she could not walk half of a mile.  Since then she has worked her way slowly up to 2 miles in the early morning during the hot months. During the cooler months  she enjoys several short one miles walks throughout the day when the outdoors can be enjoyed without the effects of hot pavement and the horrible humidity which makes breathing difficult for these little dogs. She has turned out to be an amazing little dog with a lot of sass.   She lets you know when she needs something....like the piece of watermelon you have on your fork or when she would like to lay in the grass in a patch of sunlight.  We don't mind though.  She has made it to 15 and we want her to keep on truckin!  


Many thanks to the wonderful people that are Sponsoring Koko!

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.
