Giada will be available for adoption the end of April.
She is 4 months old and weighs 3.6 lbs.
Her adoption fee is $500.00.
Meet Giada, a 4-month-old, 3.6 lb bundle of puppy delivered to us on Valentine’s Day. Giada is a “Chorkie”, a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix who is so tiny it is difficult to keep her “penned” in when necessary. She is pad trained, so we are already working on training her to use a grassy area outside. She was so frightened when we first brought her “home”, but she quickly warmed up to our Yorkie, Harper, and that seems to have helped her to adjust a little bit. She was cleared by the vet on Monday and received all her vaccines but will have to return in a month for her boosters. She arrived in good condition not requiring a lot in the grooming department and as you can see, she is really a beautiful little lady. She doesn’t seem to know how to play with toys and is a bit anxious around people (we have a challenge when we need to pick her up because she runs away and is very fast!). Even with her anxiety she did very well at the vet and charmed everyone to fall in love with her. She ate well on her second day with us and followed Harper everywhere. The most difficult part of her journey was sleeping at night. She apparently was not crated at all and had the company of her mom and sisters so without them this is hard adjustment to make. She cried the entire night when we put in her crate. This little one will do best in a household with one or more companion dogs. She is used to being a member of the pack and having freedom in the house. She also will require a solid wood/panel or chain link fence as she can escape in a flash. Though it may be too early to tell, she seems to have some obedience training. When we ask her to stay, she complies. We are focusing most on socializing her with other dogs and people since she does not seem to have had much exposure to a variety of people and dogs in her former home.
Giada is staying with Sharon and Kathy in Mountville, 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.
