Merrylee is available for adoption.

She is 6 years old and weighs 10 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $700.00.

It has been less than a week that she arrived by plane to us and it was pretty clear she did not have the stomach for flying! As soon as we got home, she went right to a bath which she tolerated very well and certainly smelled better!! She was an owner surrender and even with her own bowl and food from her previous home, eating has been difficult until we pulled out the fresh cooked chicken breast ~ if hand fed. She seems to be having a little difficulty getting the food out of the bowl or even a plate on the floor but is scheduled for a dental on the 21^st.  She is spunky and friendly, her little tail wags all the time. She enjoys being by someone and seems to have accepted us as her “fill in family” until she finds her forever home.  She likes short walks and will toilet outside as well. Doing better with waiting her turn to go out but frets until everyone returns. We needed to leave them for an hour but watched on the monitor and she waited at the door or laid on the couch but was happy when we returned.  The first night we tried a crate, then a gate in our master bath, both epic fails! Let’s just say our bed is a little crowded but she is a good sleeper and will let you know if she needs to potty but then she jumps right back in bed.  She does well with other dogs on our walks or at the vet, just a little bark so they know who is in charge. She saw a few cats at the vet’s office and seemed mildly interested.  One look at those eyes and a tilt of her head is all it takes to fall in love.

Merrylee is staying with Lisa in Latrobe, PA.

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.
