He's 7.12 lb of wonderful Yorkie.  

 He could still learn behaviors through positive reinforcement training since Sundance is a
clever dog.    Adopters should be willing to introduce him to new environments, people, and objects in a controlled manner.  He needs some TLC and an experienced dog owner"

His foster dad had the idea to rename him "Sundance" as this little gem walks with a little spring in his step, especially after getting sprung from the shelter.  He is settling in very nicely.   He gets along swimmingly with the other dogs. 

He has a beautiful coat.  We has had a grooming.  He loves to roam around the yard, likes to carry toys around the yard.  Is happy to sit on your lap at times and be petted on his own terms.  Very friendly loving little guy but can be snappish when startled - he needs a firm hand, a knowledgeable handler who will not back up when Sundance wants to argue. Seems very happy to be in a loving home with a fenced in yard.

Sundance is vacationing in Lancaster, PA with Liz and Andy. This is a pretty boy who can be good when he wants to be but can stand his ground and needs a firm hand to show him he is not the boss. If you are timid or inexperienced, this is not your dog. If you have had a Yorkie before who tried to lead, you know what we mean. Terriers are terrors. For those of us who love them, we wouldn't have it any other way. We understand - we have to be even tougher. Then the dog can relax and let us lead.

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.
