Meet Booker! This little guy was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia all by himself. After spending a few days at the animal control shelter, Save a Yorkie stepped in to help. Booker is approximately 8 years old and weighs 12 pounds. We don't know anything about his upbringing, but we do know he has a bright and sweet disposition in spite of the hardship he's endured. He is friendly and gently approaches adults, children and other dogs. He adapts to new people and environments very quickly. Booker enjoys playing with toys and going for walks, but most of all he loves lounging on the couch right next to his humans. He is very quiet and rarely barks. He walks nicely on a leash and knows how to sit. We are working on other commands. With the assistance of belly bands, he's learning to only mark his territory outside. Booker is neutered, microchipped and, thanks to his recent dental, has healthy and clean teeth! He had 8 teeth removed and is recovering from surgery like a champ.
Booker is staying with Nancy in Brick, NJ.

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.
