Cheerio comes to Save a Yorkie Rescue as a victim of animal abuse.  SAYR received the call to help this little guy we didn't hesitate to step in to lend a hand.  We learned Cheerio was suffering from an infection in his leg and broken bones in his paw.  Cheerio was in a cast, but the cast had to be removed each week to see and clean the wound and see if the infection is gone.  The infection has cleared up and the cast was removed when we saw the Specialist.

Cheerio had a great week.  With his cast off, we see him favoring the leg, as expected.  We see him putting more and more weight on it as the week progresses.  Thursday night, when he went outside, he was running around on it and quite playful!  His leg doesn't seem to slow him down at all. Hopefully the cone can come off soon.  
 
He continues to come out of his shell.  His favorite place to be is on the closest available lap.  He will sit with us for hours if we are working from home, playing, dosing off, or just lounging and loving his people.  He appears to be feeling great. Cheerio continues to get along with our cats and any one else that stops by! At the vet last week, the vet tech told me he was fine around all the dogs except for one that he did not like for some reason. Cheerio will require a fenced yard and obedience training.  

Cheerio is staying with Tricia and Joe in Canandaigua, NY.

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.
