Cuddling is Corky's middle name... on laps, in bed, you name it and he is there.

He has a delightfully sweet disposition - just what you are looking for in a small dog.

He likes having a job to do so he loves to patrol the yard with his foster siblings.

Corky is a little shy at first - you can't blame him. He started life in a puppymill before a nice lady snatched him up and brought him to her lovely home. He was so happy and she took excellent care of him. She saw him through the hard times of adjusting, watched while he learned to step on grass, encouraged him to negotiate steps. He learned it all. He was one happy, normal Yorkie until bad financial times came to the nice lady.

She called us to help find Corky a new home. We are so happy to have him in rescue. He LOVES ladies. He curled up in his foster mom's lap on the way home.

Corky is vacationing with Liz and Andy in Lancaster, PA  give him a chance!

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.
