His adoption fee is $700.00.

Introducing your new best friend, Sully! Sully is estimated to be about 4.5 years old and weighs about 12 pounds. He is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and does not have any health concerns at this time. He is being fostered in Elkton, Maryland. Sully has been in rescue for a few months now and has undergone training. He requires an experienced dog owner that is ready and willing to take on a challenge and continue training.

Sully is the absolute sweetest boy ever and loves to snuggle up and get belly rubs. The reason he is with a behavioral trainer in foster care is because he has had a tough life so far and does not trust people very quickly. Sully desperately needs someone that is willing to give him this second chance at life and provide a forever home for him! 

My favorite traits about Sully are:
  • He loves to kiss and snuggle, as well as receive belly rubs - I mean, who doesn’t? 
  • He gets along well with the other dogs in the household but is honestly pretty neutral. He would be just fine in a house with other dogs, or being the only dog. He’s not picky! 
  • He is very relaxed and I never have to worry about him getting into trouble when he’s left alone. He likes to lounge most of the day, but also gets excited when it’s time for a walk! 
  • He is crate trained and loves his crate! As soon as I say “get in your bed”, he runs right in! He sleeps in the crate every night, which is strongly advised to continue based on his training. 
  • He loves being outside and now that the weather has finally gotten nice, he is thriving out there! 
  • He gets so happy when we come home and is a great welcomer. 
  • He will sometimes do a small howl when he’s happy which I just find adorable! 
  • He has a great appetite and proves to be food motivated in training. 
  • My favorite of all probably has to be seeing him come out of his shell and become a comfortable, confident dog who found a love of toys and playing. He likes to hoard all my red toys! I think that’s his favorite color. 
 
More about Sully’s training progress: 
It took a lot of time and effort on multiple members of the rescue’s account to learn more about Sully. When he first came into rescue, no one knew much about him as he was found as a stray. We aren’t sure what he has witnessed or what he’s been through so it can make training tough when trying to learn what his triggers are. Throughout my time with Sully so far, I have theorized that regardless of figuring out what he’s been through, he definitely does not trust people upon first meeting and displays defensive behaviors when people do certain motions such as hug each other, high five, etc. - basically touch each other in any way. When we first got him, he went after us multiple times in the span of a few weeks. We played around with different training techniques to see what he responded best to and discovered that positive reinforcement and treats was the best way to go for him. I did not trust Sully and he did not trust me. Throughout these past two months, Sully has made tremendous progress. I can see a huge difference in his confidence and trust in people, and I can say with ease that I trust him now. My family was able to come over and visit and he was happily wagging his tail the whole time, taking treats from everyone. He took a nap on my lap while everyone was in the room which never would’ve happened in the early stages.  
 
I was instructed to keep him off the website until I was confident that he was ready to placed in a forever home. It’s a bittersweet moment but he is ready. 
 
The perfect owner for Sully would understand that when Sully undergoes yet another home change to be adopted, he may display some behaviors that reflect his emotions from being uprooted from what he currently knows. There is a chance Sully may need time and effort on your part to get to know you and learn to trust you, just as he has done with me. I can assure you that once you have created that bond with him, it will be the best! He is so loving and he deserves someone to choose him, love him, and vouch for him. He has so much potential and just requires an adopter who is experienced with the breed and knowledgable when it comes to handling his trust issues going forward. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about Sully to determine if he’s the right fit for you, and if you’re the right fit for him! 
 
Sully is staying with Olivia in Elkton, MD.

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.
