Little Rascal is new in rescue. He is 2 years old and full of boundless energy. He loves snuggling, giving kisses, and playing with all the toys at foster moms house, especially fetch! He is okay with other dogs but has a hard time reading other dogs cues which can cause tension in a pack especially when being introduced into an established pack. A home where he is the only dog would be best for this guy. He wants to be the apple of your eye!
Little Rascal will need an active family where someone is home most of the day. He enjoys following foster mom around the house and suffers from a little separation anxiety. He quickly adapts to new situations but does have some leash reactivity when meeting others on our morning walk. He is working hard on potty manners and is on a schedule of potty runs throughout the day so he can learn/relearn how to recognize the urge and how to communicate it to his foster/furever family. We do not know how he is with young children. But we do know he does not like cats at all!
His new family will be required to attend manners classes. He is a rambunctious little boy but food motivated. He will be easy to train after a lesson or two. He is such a sweet little boy.
Don’t miss out on this guy. He had a check up, vaccines and a dental! He is ready and waiting for his new family to take him home.
Little Rascal is staying with Sharon in Hopewell, VA.

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.
