The amount of love and personality squeezed into this 4.8 pound cutie is exactly what you’re looking for! Maximum, who responds well to Max, is an almost 3 year old, well-rounded dog who can confidently adapt in different environments. He is very social and loving towards people, other dogs, and my cat. He goes with the flow of the household and enjoys doing whatever we’re doing! If the other dogs want to play, he’s bouncing around with them, and when everyone is ready to relax, he is right on the couch snuggling away! Some of his favorite spots to relax include our laps, our teepee dog bed, and the cat’s sitting tower. He loves playing with toys and will chew on them independently if the attention isn’t on him at that time. You’ll have to keep tabs on your socks and slippers, as he likes to sometimes sneak them away into hiding! One thing I love about Max is his funny personality. He loves to howl when he gets excited and it’s the cutest thing! Just start saying “whoo hoo!” and he will join right in with you.
Max came to us all the way from California and was a great passenger on the plane. He rides well in the car and likes to lay down or look out the window. He does not have any complaints with meal times and has a great appetite for such a tiny dog. Max is potty trained to go outside and is crate trained. He sleeps in his crate overnight and will go in there periodically throughout the day if no one is home. Although no one is perfect, there really isn’t anything to note about Max in terms of challenges, issues, etc. He really is just a chill guy!
What is the right home for Max? This is a broad answer because he adapts well in different environments. He could go to a home with or without other pets, high activity or low activity, etc. Max is perfectly content just doing whatever you’re doing and getting a chance to be a part of your family. Whoever adopts this little guy will be in for a real treat and will have a loyal buddy until the end! Will you consider giving Max his chance at a forever home?
Maximum is staying with Olivia in Elkton, MD.

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.
