Gia will be available for adoption after she has her luxating patella surgery completed and she has healed from the surgery.

She is 7 months old and weighs 3 lbs.

Her adoption fee is 1,200.00.

Gia came into rescue at just 16 weeks old and in need of hernia repair and spaying and all her vaccines.  Now she is currently up to date and has had her hernia repaired and spayed. She is slowly adjusting to humans as Gia was left alone with only her siblings and mama dog for 12 to 14 hours a day.  She is working on her house training and basic commands.  She is frightened by most new experiences but is again slowly coming around to trust her foster parents that she will be safe.  Gia is not a cuddly bug and enjoys the company of other dogs.  She will need a home with a fenced yard and other young dogs to show her the ropes and learn from.  Currently Gia is still pending a significant medical issue that will require surgery. Gia was born with a luxated patella when she is fully grown which should be in September.  In the meantime, she continues to work on becoming more socialize with humans.  We are absolutely positive Gia will be a happy, healthy and well adjusted, little pup once she is finally ready for her forever home.

Gia is staying with Donna in Brick, NJ.

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.
