Jack continues to adjust well in his new foster home. He is showing his playful side every once in awhile and loves the little squeaky toy and his new blanket that he got in his SAYR care package (thank you, Shona!) And as you can see from his new photo, he is a very handsome little guy following his grooming appointment. (Which my groomer said he was very good for.) He was particularly spunky when we got back, so I think he feels like a new man! He likes getting outside and taking walks again, having not done that for a very, very long time. He sleeps quietly through the night and as long as he gets out regularly, has been good about pottying outside. There have been a couple accidents in the house, but that was me not paying attention to timing.
I also got some very good news this week regarding Jack's health status. His bloodwork and urinalysis came back with everything within normal ranges. His thyroid levels were also within normal range, so he will stay on his meds twice a day and continue to have his levels checked periodically. So he is cleared to have a dental! He is scheduled for that on 11/18. I'm sure that will make him feel like a new man, too!

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.
