This little guy is full of life, Yorkie energy and lots of fun. He wants and needs lots of good long walks, someone to play with him and his toys, another small dog to befriend him and a dog lover to teach him manners. He is happy and typically Yorkie like - spunky, busy and desperately wanting your attention. He seems to be afraid of the cat in the home. He defends his family from strangers (mailmen) by calling them names. He has a microchip but it is not registered as far as we can tell. He turned up as a stray, he may have gotten away from his home - it happens but most of the time, someone comes looking... He is learning to eat real dog food. The best person for him would be someone who knows Yorkies, what they need to eat and housetraining. Whiskers is looking for a Yorkie person who is looking for a real live Yorkie. If you don't know Yorkies - he isn't your man. He's willing to give you everything he is. Isn't that enough? Please put in your application now or you will be too late.

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. 

Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
