Hello, Yorkie Lovers!  I’m Griffin. That’s short for Gentleman Griffin the Great/Gorgeous/Gregarious - depending on the day. I’ve only been with my foster mom for two days, but I’m already running the show. I’ve trained her to scratch under my chin just the way I like, let me cuddle next to her on the couch, and sleep in her bed!  
I’m 6 pounds of affection and curiosity. I enjoy long walks and long snoozes. I LOVE chasing birds, but so far they don’t seem so crazy about me. No bush or Tree goes unexamined when I’m on the case! But all that investigating leaves me wanting a long snooze. If you rub my belly, I’ll fall right off to dreamland - but don’t stop!  To keep these gorgeous looks, I need my beauty rest and your job is to keep petting while I get it. Don’t worry, I’ll train you!  
I’m housebroken so long as you don’t leave me more that 4 hours and I enjoy a car ride - particularly if you happen to have a convertible.     
This weekend I’m relaxing at the beach and will meet my foster cousin. Foster Mom will update you on how it goes. She made an appointment for me to go to the spa tomorrow. I’ll have her post some updated photos after my makeover - not that I need it, mind you. Foster Mom says I’m the most handsome little man she’s ever seen!

Griffin is staying with Janet.

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.
