Trooper is available for adoption.

He is 5 to 6 years old and weighs 10 lbs.

His adoption fee is $350.00. 

Trooper was found by the Ephrata Police Department after being left in the hills of Ephrata, PA. He’s about 5–6 years old, and while it’s clear life hasn’t always been easy for him, you’d never know it from the way he is now.

Even though Trooper is blind, he doesn’t let that slow him down. He carefully explores the world with so much curiosity, and he’s even learning how to walk on a leash — taking it step by step and getting braver every day. He gets along well with other dogs, and while he can feel a little anxious if left alone in the backyard, with a bit of reassurance he settles down and does just fine.

What Trooper loves most is simply being close. He’s the sweetest cuddle buddy, always wanting to be right next to you, soaking up love and giving it right back. Watching him learn what it feels like to be safe, cared for, and loved has been such a joy.

Trooper is staying with Yurie in Philadelphia, PA.

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.
