Piccina is available for adoption.

She is 7 years old and weighs 5 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $400.00.

Piccina (pronounced Pi-chee-nah, meaning-little girl) is her new name, as she starts her new journey in rescue!

Our sweet little girl has been put through the wringer, with nowhere to call home.  One family didn't want her any longer.  The next family was never home.  Her third owners landlord said no dogs.  Her most recent family was not able to care for her.  Is it any wonder that she is confused, very thin, and has an upset tummy?
 
Those days are gone.  We have brought Piccina into rescue and are giving her a new lease on life.  We will take our time to let her settle and heal.  We will give her confidence by being consistent with her hygiene, grooming, food, exercise, play, and love.  We will be here for her.  Piccina needs to put on a little weight and she needs time to relearn that a family can mean love, trust, good times, and safe haven.

Piccina is really enjoying her walks, she likes sleeping in bed with foster mom and loves, loves loves to eat.  She will have no problem putting on a little weight.  This little girl will be a great companion to anyone that has the time to devote to her because she is either beside you all the time or on top of you.
 
We are looking for a person or family who has the time to be a companion and is home most of the day and will not leave her for more than 2 hours a day because she does not like being left alone!!! They will have to know the Yorkshire terrier breed and be able to provide a healthy and safe lifestyle for this little girl.  

Piccina is vacationing with Cynthia and her gang in Ambridge, PA.

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.
