Meet Merlin!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the sweetest little guy, Merlin!

This loving little Parti-Yorkie mix may have had a rough start, coming from a difficult hoarding situation, but it only added to his character. Merlin absolutely loves being around other dogs, though cats aren't really his thing. He has the perfect little build and an even more perfect personality.

Merlin is a true lap dog who adores being close to his human caregivers. He's also a fast learner. Having not spent the beginning of his life walking on a leash, he has made great strides over the past week and happily runs to the door at the mention of a walk. He's a very smart boy and quickly picks up new activities. Unfortunately, he did have some sores on his belly from wearing belly bands all day, but they are quickly healing with proper care. Due to his past, he's learning how to potty outside and is doing a great job, with no accidents in the house so far.

He's great with other dogs and children, too, enjoying playtime and lots of attention. Happy and lovable are the two best words to describe this guy, who is truly living his puppyhood to the fullest! Merlin’s bark has yet to be heard which is unique given that yorkies can be little yappers. This is testament to his sweet and loving nature.

Anyone lucky enough to adopt him will fall in love with Merlin within hours.

Merlin will be ready for his forever home in mid-September at the earliest, after he is neutered and his vaccinations are brought up to date. 

Merlin is staying with Susan in Camillus, NY.

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.
