He is 7 years old and weighs 10 pounds.

His adoption fee is $650.00.

Save a Yorkie Rescue was told Ruff and Tumble were a bonded pair.  However, this clearly was not case.  The two dogs were constantly fighting with each other and really didn’t get along very well but were ok with the other dogs in their foster home.  After being together for several weeks with no improvement  we felt it best the two be separated.  Both dogs are thriving in their foster homes.  It was what was best for them.  

Ruff is the best dog!    Three of my friends think his name should be Bernie because he is so adorable.  He plays “chase me with the ball.” He snuggles up on the sofa.    He only barks when someone is at the door.    He travels well in the car!    He has behaved well when he’s around other dogs.    Mostly he just ignores them.    He is definitely more interested in being with me than Richard although he is happy for Richard to pet him and play with him.    He really loves to have his belly rubbed and will paw to get attention.    But he is also quite and calm when I am working at the computer.    He likes his walks but likes to play more.

Ruff will be a perfect companion for someone who is looking for a cute addition to their family.

Ruff is fostered by Sam Milford and Richard Shaw in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
