If that picture doesn't say "Come and Get Me!" then you have a heart of stone.

Pupcake is a tiny yorkie girl, dark tan and black.  She has cataracts which give her very limited sight. She weighs about 3 pounds and is estimated to be an older adult. 

Pupcake was found by the side of the road in Ohio.  A man stopped, thinking she was a rabbit, picked her up and took her to a shelter.  It's a miracle she wasn't killed. God was watching out for her.

She does not let her very limited sight hold her back at all.  She explores wherever she is - even if she gets her head bumped every so often.  She is very sweet natured and LOVES LOVES LOVES TOYS!

The more they squeak the better she likes them.  Picture that commercial for fabric refreshener - the lady puts all the toys away in the toybox.  She sprays the rug with refreshner, puts it away, turns around and the toys are all over smelling the carpet. 

Her foster mom puts the toys in the toy boxes, turns around and Pupcake has them out again in minutes, everywhere! 

She gets grumpy at the other dogs if they go near her when she has a toy, but is not aggressive with people at all.  She is getting the hang of housetraining.  She gets along with other dogs OK although she wanted to kill the neighbor's Great Dane - typical Yorkie attitude! It would not have mattered if she could have seen the size of the intruder. 

She's a treasure on four legs and would be a great companion for someone who wants a little one to hold and love.  Did I mention she LOVES TOYS?!!

She is vacationing in Pittsburgh, PA. This little girl has waited a long time - isn't there someone out there who is looking for a tiny female to love, hold and play with toys? Come on, dog lovers!

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.
