Dr. Ron Hodges bought her. Never put in an application. Could not make him. Will never make this mistake again.

Dear tiny Annabelle. She was purchased as a gift for a small child but Annabelle became very ill and had to be hospitalized.

The latest news: Annabelle, like many many Yorkie puppies, has a livershunt.

What is that? Think of it as a straw that directs the blood around the liver instead of through it. So the blood does not get purified after she eats. As you know, no one can live without a liver that can do its thing. Annabelle is too tiny for the operation she needs so she is on medications and a special diet. In a few weeks, when she is older, she will have the surgery and should be do fine.

Annabelle is being fostered by Dr. Ron Hodges of Valley Central Animal Hospital in Whitehall, PA.  Dr. Carlos and Dr. Ron have helped many of our Yorkies who had livershunt. IF YOUR dog needs help, call Valley Central. They

Thank you to everyone who has donated to this tiny little darling's vet bills. They have totaled over $585 so far and that is without the surgery itself. But is she worth every penny? YES! 

Give a penny! Whatever you can... thank you. Happy New Year.  AND PS. This is a head's up to everyone - DO NOT BUY A YORKIE PUPPY without having it tested for a livershunt. You will thank me later for this bit of advice.

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.
