Please join me in wishing Covington a very Happy 3rd Birthday!!! This most adorable pup celebrated his special day by waking up at 7 AM (he always starts his morning with his yoga stretches of "down dog" and "cobra"), devoured his breakfast with added blueberries (he has the best appetite), enjoyed our routine one-mile power walk around the neighborhood (he appreciates wearing his sweater on these chilly mornings), took a nap on my lap while I was on the computer (he is a great lap warmer), played a few rounds of tug-of-war (his favorite game), got pampered with some spa time (he is great with getting bathed, brushed, and blow dried), went to the pet boutique to pick out his birthday treats (he rides well in the car), came home and played more rounds of tug-of-war (he never tires of this game), was an excellent model during the birthday themed photoshoot (he was such a good sport keeping the birthday hat on for the few seconds!), thoroughly enjoyed his birthday cookies which I broke off bits from each so that he could taste each cookie (cookie flavors were peanut butter, pumpkin, and carob), enjoyed more tug-of-war (his passion!), heartily ate all his dinner with added green beans (he always licks his bowl clean), enjoyed our evening one-mile power walk (we have to watch our figures especially after those birthday treats!), and ended the evening snuggled in for a restful night's sleep (he always gives a couple goodnight kisses before retiring for the night. So sweet!). It was a perfect and excellent day! Covington is an absolute joy to foster. He will bring an active person/family immense joy!

Covington is staying with Janet in Oakton, VA.

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.
