Dasher is available for adoption.

He is 3 years old and weighs 10 lbs.

His adoption fee is $700.00.

Dasher, who was originally Toby, he answers to “Toby”  He is learning his routine quickly and loves to follow us around with toys, just waiting for a lap to jump into.  He is getting better at learning social skills, but still has a way to go.  He is very smart and understands some commands...when he wants too!  Definitely, a bit of that yorkie stubborness! He has learned the layout of his walks and knows exactly where to go to come back to our house. He is not fond of the cold below 30 and hates the rain & puddles. He doesn’t seem to understand the backyard concept and isn’t very fond of grass, so we have been going “outside” to play several times a day to learn it is a big play yard.

He is getting along well with his foster brother and is learning how to play more... They play tug of war and chase each other around several times a day.  Dasher is learning well how to be a little brother. His "only child" attitude is slowly giving way to being part of the pack.

Dasher had veterinary consultations for a hernia and will have surgery to make the repair, along with his neuter, near the end of February or early March. This doesn't slow him down, I swear he has springs in his little legs! He will need a dental cleaning after his recovery, but it’s not urgent, so first things first. Dasher will be available for adoption after he has had time to heal from his procedures. 

Dasher is staying with Donna in Chesapeake, 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.
