Homer is a 3 yr. old, 22lb. yorkie (WOW!) with a huge personality as big as the rest of him. Softball (Homer) is full of life, playful, energetic and excitable.

Are you a jogger? Looking for a bigger dog? Have we got the one for YOU!

He gives lots of kisses, loves squeaky toys and stuffed animals, loves to sit on your lap, snuggle and sits quietly for his nightly brushing.

He's cooperative and likes it once you get him in the bath. He will let you clean his ears and brush his teeth but getting him in the room can be quite a chore! He's smart and will run away if he thinks a bath is what you've planned!

Softball /Homer walks well on a leash, understands sit, down, beg, paw, speak,stay, wait, lie down, roll over and go to bed.

When you tell him to "get your toy" he will search his basket for just the right one and bring it to you for a game of fetch.

He sleeps in a crate and lets you know when he wants out.

Homer is a smart and loving pet who needs an experienced dog owner who won't be intimidated by his intelligence.

He is loved and very well cared for by his present owner who is heartbroken that her home situation has changed and she can no longer care for him. Softball is up to date on his shots, on heartworm meds (interceptor) neutered and microchipped.

We are looking for a home with a family who has experience with dogs, is very active, loves to walk and expects the dog to keep up.

This is a special Yorkie and we hope you see him as special too. Please put in your application and let us know he is just what you have been looking for - A Yorkie as big as his personality.

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.
