Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck - and you'll have good luck with our Penny if you DON'T pick her up. Look at that face. We think she is a Yorkie/Maltese mix. Our best guess of her age is 5 years old. She weighs about 7 pounds. She is NOT for a home with any children - she would not be good with them. She is very shy about being picked up. There must be some trauma in her past. She is too scared to have people pick her up. BUT if you bend down in front of her and place your hands under her belly to pick her up, she'll be just fine. She's had many visitors in and out of her foster home and as long as they don't try and pick her up, she has no problem at all. She does not like other dogs. Since she is the smallest in her foster home, she feels intimidated by all of the bigger dogs. Her foster mom says you hardly know she's there. She's a cuddler in bed at night - she doesn't get up until you get up. Which is a good thing! She has a good appetite and she sits now before she gets a treat after coming in from going potty.
Penny is slow to warm up but once she does, she is a delight. So give her a little time to mellow with you.

She is a dog for people who have experience with dogs. She needs a compassionate home with people who will allow her to be herself. She prefers NOT to be picked up. Most girls prefer to be loved without being picked up. She's just a little thing but she knows what she doesn't like. Could you allow her to be herself at your house? Call her foster mom today.

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.
