Nina is a very happy little girl. She loves to follow her people around everywhere they go. 
Her favorite thing to do is to be with a human and sit on a lap.  
She rides well in a car and attracts attention wherever we go. 
She will occassionally bark at outside noises or storms and at the door.
Nina does not play with balls or squeaky toys but will sniff around them.  She is, however, VERY interested in treats and can sniff them out from wherever I hide them.  She loves to play wrestle-mania with me on the couch and loves to lie on the back or arm of the couch and look out of windows at the leaves blowing and birds flying. 
 
She acts more like a 3 year old than an 8 year old - wants to play with the other dogs and follows them around.  Nina is very smart - she learned the doggie door in just 1 hour.  She still loves to go for walks which is great because she has lots of energy to burn up on them.  When she sees her leash come off the hook, she gets very excited and hops around with joy. 
 
She would probably benefit from a dog training course just to pick out and firm up which words are used for which action (she does "sit"  usually and I have enforced "OFF" for jumping up and to remove from furniture.  I am also working on "outside" and "dinner" and she is catching on. 
 
She will make a good addition to any family - as an only dog or keeping company with Yorkies.  In her previous home she DID NOT do well with a cat.

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.
