You cannot imagine the horror this baby boy has been through. When he came to us we didn't know which end was the front! The mats were almost 8 inches long and 4 inches thick! He could not see, or walk. The stench was overwhelming because you know what was holding the mats together. Well no more! Our great rescue volunteers worked diligently, tenderly and patiently to clean this little lad. He is now a beautiful, tiny loving little lap lover. If you want a great little boy, Sweet William is it for you. He has no hair right now but hair grows and so will Sweet William grow on YOU! Send in your application NOW.
Update on Willie:
"The whole vet staff was appalled at the picture of Willie that was posted on the Internet. They could not believe it was the same dog they had before them - hairles except for his mat encased legs.
They moved the surgery schedule around to get him in on Mon AM. He will be neutered then and have his feet removed from their cocoons. The doc chuckled and said he would be an inch shorter in height after Mon.
Sweet William will most likely lose most or all of his teeth, he also has both ears infected. The vet has him on antibiotics and meds for the ears. His heart worm test was negative.
He also has a dislocated right hip, which the doctor said was most likely an old injury. The vet didn't administer any vaccinations today, he will wait 'til after the surgery. He was anxious to get the feet cleaned up first.
Sweet Willie is truly a sweetie and is resting comfortably after his nightmare rescue."

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.
