His owner has a baby and has no time for him

Same old story... small dog and small children equals a bad mix. The dog is terrified of the child who is throwing things at him and chasing him. He growls and nips at her and it all escalates... time to get him out of that home and into the RIGHT place for a small dog... no children!

Guiseppe - we call him "Poppy", is a wonderful little guy - 6 lbs, 4 years old. A perfect little Yorkie boy for the right home... have you had a small dog before? Do you have time for a dog? Will you walk the dog everyday?

Poppy is a character!  He 'sings' with a toy in his mouth!  Another American Idol hopeful!

He loves his toys and can fetch.  He eats Pedigree small bites twice a day. He loves attention and performing and playing. He hates the mailman and small children.

If your home is the right one for Poppy, please put in your application and then call Lin, his foster mom. Poppy is vacationing near Rochester, NY.  Get your toys ready!

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.
