Dixie is available for adoption.

She is 9 years old and weighs 7 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $550.00

Little Dixie has officially taken over my house — and apparently, no one bothered to tell my two Yorkies that they’ve been demoted.

She may be the foster and the smallest one here, but Dixie is definitely the head honcho. She is the first one at the door when someone arrives, the first one jumping up when the harnesses come out, and when all three are riding in the carriage, guess who has to sit in front? Dixie, of course. Tiny girl. BIG personality! She saves that big bark for one occasion — when someone comes to the door. Otherwise, you hardly hear a peep out of her.

At bedtime, she has her own little routine. She waits for my two dogs to get on the bed, waits for me to get settled, and THEN she jumps up and finds the spot closest to me. Apparently she likes to make sure everyone is in their assigned seats first.

But my favorite Dixie moment is when I’m in the shower. I’ll look through the glass and there she is…just a tiny little head staring at me waiting for me to get out.

There is hardly a minute when I’m home that Dixie isn’t right beside me.

She will walk outside, but if we’re being truthful, Dixie much prefers her personal transportation service — me. She loves being carried down the block in my arms, nose in the air, taking in all the smells while I do the walking. She has trained me very well.

Dixie wants ALL the love and attention, which is why I really feel she would be happiest as the “only child.” She doesn’t want to share her person.

Dixie is ready for her forever home, where she can finally have what she has been planning all along: her very own person, her very own lap, and 100% of the attention.

If you adopt Dixie, you will never have to wonder where she is.

She will be next to you.

Always.

Dixie is staying with Lynda in Fort Lee, 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.
