He's a P-U-P-P-Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look - out - its NON STOP activity! He's not for the faint hearted or older generation. 

How do you tell someone about a Yorkie puppy who wants to be everywhere, do everything and zoom - zoom - ZOOM?  Think of a 2 year old child and a bowl of jello - then you have the idea. 

You may have had a puppy before but if you haven't had one in a few years - remember that he needs lots of activity, lots of discipline, lots of training - notice we didn't have to say love.  

He gets car sick so traveling is not his favorite thing.  

Duke is about 14 weeks old, about 6 pounds and will fill in to be about 7 pounds. He's got cuddly puppy dog fuzz and big ears. He was surrendered because the owner had dementia. 

Duke is shy, not quite sure of what to do or where he is. 

So here is what we are looking for in his new family:
     1. Dog experience - you have to show him what is expected.
     2. Able to take the dog to obedience classes - required
     3. We want someone who has time - not gone all day
     4. A fenced yard would be nice but not required. As long as we know he will get lots of walks, lots of play, lots of mind stimulation and exercise - we don't insist on a fenced yard (it just is nice to have in case he gets out between your legs). But he must NEVER EVER be off leash outside. 
     5. We hope someone is in the NJ/PA/DE/MD area.  We do not ship dogs and we do want you to come and meet him. 
     6. We worry about large dogs because he is so small. 

If you get the idea that we are particular, you are right.  Duke is a little Yorkie boy and he will be a fine dog for a family who knows how to care for a Yorkie.  

He is going to be neutered and microchipped on Monday.

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.
