Indie is new in rescue and it will take a little time to get to know her. Her elderly owner passed away which warranted her coming into rescue. We do know that she is a lover (on her own terms) and very silly. She loves to climb in your lap and kiss you all over your face. When she gets excited, she will run in a quick circle. It is very cute! Indie knows some commands like sit, stay and down although she is not particularly fond of “stay” when there is a treat involved! She has very good potty manners and prefers to go outside throughout the day, she has no idea what pee pads are. Indie sleeps through the night. She rarely barks unless she hears another dog barking and she will chime in. She is a little fearful so you must respect her space and take it slow with introductions for her to get used to you and her new surroundings. We are slowly introducing her to family members so not to overwhelm her, a home without young children will be necessary. We think she will excel in a quiet and calm home as an only dog with an experienced owner. Training is recommended to form a bond with her new owner. We are still getting to know this little beauty and will share more as soon as we get to know her better.
Indie is staying with Kim in Pilesgrove, NJ.

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.
