The phone rang - 5:30 AM... I stumbled to pick it up and I heard the words, "Will you take this Yorkie in?"  I said "Yes."  And then I listened to the rest of the story..

McAdoo came from a puppymill in Arkansas. He was born approximately 10 weeks ago and was taken too soon from his mama.

The new owners realized he was having a terrible problem when he started trembling and fell into a coma. It is a very common condition in toy dog puppies - Hypoglycemia.  He needed some fluids to wake him up.

The second time the new owners found themselves at a vet in two days, they realized they could not care for this puppy. The vet was kind and found our number.

We sent a foster mother to pick up McAdoo and before he arrived, he was unconscious again. Back to the vet he went. In a matter of minutes, he was up and jumping.

This happened again and again. But McAdoo has grown out of this condition. He has put on weight and settled into one home. He is a beautiful little Yorkie boy.

We want him to go to a home that has experience with puppies so they can keep him healthy and start him on his new life. 

He is fostering in Williamsport, PA - central PA. There will be many calls for McAdoo since he is so young. He will only be available for one day and then he will be taken down and we will sort through the applications. To be sure you get a Yorkie, do check on the other dogs listed on our site. Give the older dogs a chance. Thank you.

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.
