His adoption fee is $800.00.
 

Welcome Lewie!

New to SAY Rescue is Lewie, 7lbs of cute in a fur wrapped body! Lewie is a very playful 4yrs old.

Lewie is active AND cuddly, enjoying fetch with crinkle toys and daily lap naps. He eats well, and spins 360° for treats. He is mostly housebroken - we're working on his need to mark inside the house - and happily wears a belly band. He gets along well with former SAY foster Destiny, even though she's not too excited about his presence.

Lewie is never far from his foster mom, providing excellent security even in the bathroom. He does bark a bit at first when left alone in the house, but settles once he realizes you are gone until you return. 

We were warned at intake he has some problems with resource guarding (food and toys), but he has not exhibited this behavior in his foster placement as of yet.

At his grooming appointment Lewie was mostly a gentleman, only becoming nippy during removal of some badly matted areas of hair in sensitive spots. Understandable!

He's a handsome, sweet boy who would be perfect for someone who likes to play and cuddle. 

Lewie is staying with Melody near Milford, 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.
