Presley in a Box.

He is not a well disciplined puppy at the moment. He can't help it.  He wasn't given training, any socialization, attention and most importantly - exercise and discipline. He was literally kept in a cage, a box - 22 hours a day for the first year of his life.

Anyone hearing his circumstances would swear that the people were purposely cruel to the puppy. Because it is cruel - unbearably cruel - to crate a puppy for more than a few hours at a time.

We are astonished at the family's lack of care for this puppy.  Yet they profess tremendous love for him. Love!?  

But that horror of life is over - at least for this puppy. Presley will now begin his new life, as difficult as this will be for one small puppy who never got to meet another dog, see new people, go for walks or learn to be a well socialized dog.  We will have him neutered, and do our best to start the basics of training. 

He is a friendly puppy. A nice boy. He has no idea how to approach another dog so other dogs don't know what to make of him. He needs your time and lots of exercise and discipline. His new life starts today in Bethlehem, pa with Susan.  If you are experienced with dogs and training them - and you are active and can keep up with him, please put your application in now.

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.
