Sammy is housebroken. She has not had an accident in the house. She will come to her foster mom, stare and turn in circles - this is her sign that she needs to go out and potty.

Sammy is a very cute girl - big brown eyes. She has started to show us her "true" side. She attacks plastic grocery bags. She likes to chew on sneakers. She is people protective. She always wants to be around us. She doesn't find her own space - she likes to be on someone's lap. She sleeps in bed with her foster mom (and their 4 other dogs). When she is put onto the bed, she runs around and barks at everyone and the dogs. Then she moves around the blankets until she finds our legs and then she'll lick our leg for 10-15 minutes. Then she's quiet, finds a comfortable spot and goes to sleep. But she is so cute that her "odd" behavior just makes her all the cuter.

She eats Iams dog food.

We just love having her. She's gonna be a hard one to give up. She will make someone a great pet - and provide alot of humor too.

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.
