He is a little shy yet, which is pretty understandable since he just lost the only family he has ever known for all of his 7 years.

He has been following his foster mom around as much as possible. He knows the commands sit, lay down, paw and roll over. He walks very well on a leash. He seems to be a tad over weight for his size, but probably just needs to get out to run around alot more.

He slept in the foster family's bed all night as the previous owner said he had always slept in their bed with them. He doesn't really care to be in a crate, he cries.  He is very anxious in a car but that was noted during his ride away from his family - no wonder he was distraught. 

He can jump really high! He surprised his foster family at dinner last night when he jumped up onto one of their stools at the island counter and sat down to eat dinner with them!! He seems like he will be a very calm dog. He gets along fine with all 3 ofhis foster family.  He needs a hair cut!!

Rudy is fostering with Debra in Lagrangeville, NY  Put your application in 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.
