Mac is doing so well.  He is just a demanding little boy.  Not in a bad way a cute way.  Flips your hand til you pet him and if you put hands away he will paw at your arm.  He has a sharp little bark.  Doesn’t use it much, unless someone comes which is Yorkie through and through. He lets you know when he wants out, wants in, wants a treat, and when he wants to be left alone.
He likes to be on your lap or will sleep right between your feet on the floor.  He does still need to be handled with care - he lets you know when he doesn’t like something!  He got a bath this week and did really good.  He went to the vet but was having none of it.   The vet even got on the floor and tried to make friends.  He is scheduled for a neuter and nail cut under anesthesia.  He has come so far in one week.  He needs trimmed and we are working on that a bit at a time.  

Now for the good news!  Mac is house trained and goes to the door when he wants to go outside, his teeth are pearly white and he walks like a gentleman on his leash. Plus he loves going in the car, curling up on the sofa and sitting on your lap.

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.
