T Rex is one of our Forever Foster's.  Will YOU sponsor T Rex?

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!

T Rex came to us as an owner surrender last spring and he is having the time of his life. He is a ball of fire. He loves nothing more than to sit in my lap, jostling for position with our other dogs. And he usually wins out. Rex has made some mistakes in his life, which caused him to be rehomed with us, but he has very good heart and a sweet disposition, and we have absolutely fallen in love with him. He loves tooling around in our backyard and teasing my black lab, Kelsey. But she is very sweet and forgiving and pays Rex no mind. Rex is loving life and we love having Rex in our home and in our hearts. We are very grateful to Save a Yorkie for all that they have done for him.

T Rex is doing great. He recently had a mass removed from his bladder that caused blood in his urine. His recovery was speedy and complete. He barely gave himself time to recover before he was back to his old self again, chasing around the backyard, harassing our black lab Kelsey, begging for treats and generally having a ball. Thanks to save a Yorkie and a very generous sponsor, T Rex was able to get the help he needed to live a full and healthy life. He is dearly loved by Linda and myself and is having the time of his life living here with all his siblings.

T Rex came to us as a referral from a friend as the previous owners were getting divorced and needed to rehome him. I contacted Save a Yorkie to ask if they could take him on as a forever foster and they were happy to take T Rex on and make him a part of the SAY rescue family.  He is 10 years old and very spry and chipper with a great personality. He’s very sweet and loves being held and sitting with you. He gets along great with all our other dogs and loves their company. On the first day we noticed blood in his urine that the previous owner was aware of but told us that it would come and go and was most likely related to stress. In conversation with my vet, he mentioned that it could be kidney stones and that an X-ray or ultrasound would diagnose the issue. We have that scheduled for Friday. He is very sweet and loves life still and enjoys the company of Linda and myself and all the dogs. 


Many thanks to our wonderful Sponsors:

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.
