Parsnip is one of our Forever Fosters. Can you help this little boy and Sponsor Parsnip? 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! If you would like to Sponsor one or more of our Forever Foster's, please send a donation through the Sponsor Button on the dog's web page or send a check to: Save A Yorkie Rescue, Inc., 526 N. St. Cloud St., #602 Allentown, PA 18104 Whatever way you make a donation to Sponsor one of our Forever Foster's, please include the dogs name with the donation you make and that you are Sponsoring that particular dog, so we can list your name on the dog's web page as his/her Sponsor. This is Parsnip, a name way too big for such a little guy! He is about 17 years old and weighs just about 4 pounds. He is a senior pup that has several medical issues which he adjusts to with determination. He is working hard to gain weight and bulk up. Parsnip who I renamed Pita came into Rescue as a stray I was told. Hard to believe someone would just put this little sick guy out on the street, but it happens. Pita was very underweight and I was instructed by my vet to try putting weight on him. He eats high protein FreshPet and has put on a pound or two. He has a number of health issues but they don’t seem to slow him down one bit. His estimated age at the time I got him was 16 but who knows? He has a heart murmur, no lower jaw and no teeth. He tends to dribble urine everywhere, therefore the mop is never put away.
At first he suffered terrible separation anxiety and screamed a lot, he has a very shrill bark. He has settled in well and is a joy to have in my home.
Many thanks to all of our wonderful Sponsors. Save A Yorkie Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) qualified non-profit organization operating on donations from Yorkie lovers who care. Please help by donating your tax deductible donations. OR mail your check or money order to YOUR generosity is appreciated! 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.
