What?  That's no Yorkie!

So true.  Peeka is Pomeranian and proud of it! 

Peeka just turned one year old, is up to date on shots, spayed, well-socialized and absolutely the most beautiful fluff ball of white you could imagine.  She came from a wonderful home of a friend of a Save A Yorkie volunteer.  Peeka's family would only surrender her to our rescue and we thank them for their confidence in us. 

So why surrender such a perfect pup?  As sometimes happens, Peeka was an "impulse" buy.  One of her owners had been in a nursing home for some time.  A loving spouse saw Peeka as a ray of light to take on lonely visits.  And that she was!  Recently, the husband passed and the demands of a young, active dog could simply not be met.  Peeka was surrendered with the hopes of a more appropriate lifestyle, a wise choice from a caring individual.

She has just gone to her new foster home and is having a great time playing with her new foster brother, (a Yorkie!).  More information to follow, but for the moment it is Fun, Fun, Fun!

Peeka is on Staten Island and more contact information will be posted. Put your application if you are interested.

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.
