Ta ta ta DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Captain America - Our Hero!!!  Well, ok.. he's just a great little dog who survived a very very rough beginning.  Our little guy is being called "Jake" by his foster mom, Marie. 

Jake is a parti-colored Yorkie!  That means he is white with black and chestnut brown - very unusual and very pretty. His owner, one of the scum of the earth - a puppymill owner - paid $1000 for him and wanted to get his money's worth from him.  We badgered him to give this little guy up with the two little ladies who he was caged with. The girls are past the age to have puppies easily so they were dispensable.  We were lucky to get Jake in the bargain.

He is such a sweet guy.  He doesn't want much - he never had a bed or a blanket - just straw, no room to move, just that cage - day in and day out. Never getting out of that cage. Now he wants to be in your presence.  He most certainly isn’t a barker.  For awhile we thought his vocal cords might have been destroyed - the Amish and Mennonites do that so their neighbors are not disturbed by 600 barking dogs - near crazy to get out of those cages. 

Jake loves to stay right beside you and and will follow you all the time.  He just wants to be close, he loves hands on attention. 

He is neutered, has his shots, he is ready to go. He is vacationing in Marlton, NJ with John and Marie.  Check out this sweetie who is living the good life now.

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.
