Abandoned!  Found in a comdemned home, Valentino was alone except for a Pitbull puppy that was left there with him.  How could people just leave...walk out and leave the dogs alone forever... who could do that?  PLENTY of people do it everyday - the ones most likely? College Students and people in the military.

Thanks to the wonderful people at the Lackawanna Shelter, Valentino is with us - safe and sound. Well fed, with lots of toys and other dogs to scamper around the yard with him.

He is a doll! A cream puff! A real genuine perfect little Yorkie boy.

He deserves a much better home than the one he had the first time. So think about it before you apply.  We would like a younger family but no small children.  We would like someone who has time for a dog - and the will to make him a priority in their lives.  Do you walk? Everyday? Have you had a dog before? Maybe a small dog?  Do you know about Yorkies? Have you read a book on the breed?

You need to do your home work so you can answer some questions about how you would handle a new Yorkie.  

Valentino is vacationing near Rochester, NY.  Please put in your application.  Thank you for wanting to give this little guy a better life.  PS  Valentino has so many applications for him, he asks that you check out the other Yorkie boys and girls on Save A Yorkie Rescue's website. Please. They need homes 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.
