He came as a stray with nothing to call his own. But he has found us and we will make sure he gets whatever he needs. And he needs a HOME. Rags is a wonderful dog - young, energetic, healthy and ready to love his family. He needs lots and lots and lots of walks. This is important. The Dog Whisperer says, "Exercise or your dog will become neurotic." We agree. If you don't have time to walk this great little dog, look for another dog. IF you have the time and patience to take him to obedience class, then YOU are the one to take Rags home. Don't worry about that name. It really isn't his. You can give him any name you like, he says he won't mind. He wants to come home. He loves to ride in the car, gets along with other dogs, and doesn't mind a bath either. He still has to be neutered, so of course he is not housebroken. Can you housebreak a dog? You would have to housebreak any puppy you take in, so this is YOUR job. Loving you is his job. Is Rags right for you???

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. 

 

 ADOPTION AREA

Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you.
