He came from the ghetto... now he's in luxury.

Sammy is safe now. But he has had a very hard time.

His story starts with a beating. An old woman in a Philadelphia ghetto was beating Sammy because he didn't want to go out in the rain. What Yorkie does?  The Telephone Man was outraged and asked her to stop.  Angry at the dog, she shoved it at him and said, "Then you take him."  and so he did.

But the Telephone Man had many children which is not a good place for a small Yorkie. He even gave Sammy away once but they brought him back. 

We neutered him, checked his teeth, gave him his shots, and looked him all over... He is a healthy boy. But he is so scared. Who will beat him next? Will he be shoved to another home? He doesn't know what to think.  He is safe but he needs a nice quiet, loving home who will keep him forever - loved and cherished. Like all Yorkies deserve.

Sammy MUCH prefers women, so a single lady would be his idea of heaven. A lady who is home much of the time would really hit the spot for Sammy. How about you out there?

He is fostering in Silver Spring, MD with Sarah.  He is a wonderful little dog. Get ready. He is a doll! Call Sarah after you put your application in.

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.
