Kimmie is a senior lady that was surrendered to the shelter after her owner died. She is a sweet little girl, can be a little nervous but warms up to you very quickly. She had her dental surgery and had several teeth pulled but has fully recovered.
She went to the vet this week for a follow up and it was a pretty good report! All her kidney values are within the normal range and she’s off the renal diet. She’s currently eating a GI diet and taking a probiotic. We’re working on putting a little more weight on her.
She is getting along great with our pack but really just wants to be with her person. She loves to follow you around the house or cuddle up next to you on the couch. For a little old lady, she is pretty energetic and is always threatening you with a good time! She loves to be with you in the kitchen when you’re cooking, she is watching your every move.
She’s a good eater, feisty and is very active and full of life. We’re still working on outside potty manners but she is pee pad trained. She would do best with someone who is home most of the time as she loves to be with her person. She needs a forever home that will treat her like the princess she is!
Kimmie is staying with Susannah and Sara in Norfolk, 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.
