Jordy was loved like a baby. They took excellent care of him. Then, as often happens, they had a baby... they couldn't take care of both at the same time.
So Jordy came to us. He is healthy and ready to go. He is adjusting which is very hard since he has lost everything and everyone he has ever known. So give him some understanding and a few days to adjust.
Jordy is a playful male Yorkie who weighs 8 pounds. He is 5 years old and in excellent health.
Jordy is outgoing and attentive - smart. He is not a lazy dog. He was very protective of his old owners. He needs an experienced Yorkie owner who will discipline him and be his leader - otherwise Jordy will own the home. He will stand his ground against strangers. However, once he gets adjusted, all he wants to do is play and give you lovable attention. Give him a few days to adjust and he blossoms into a very playful dog.
He loves going out in the yard. Within hours he has learned to use the doggie door.
He just arrived with his new foster family and they are still getting to know him and understand his personality. He is vacationing in Milford, CT with Ornella. Please put your application in for this nice guy. He is worth it.

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.
