Imagine a Yorkie living out in the snow - outside in this freezaing winter weather... who would do such a heartless thing?  We couldn't believe it either. This particular religious cult didn't think a thing about it. They wanted rid of this Yorkie and were giving it to a breeder friend to use as they normally do - condemning this little guy to a life in a cage as a breeder dog...

But half a dozen people saw him on Craigslist and contacted us to make sure this little guy came into rescue.

He is safe and warm tonight. A warm bath, good food, a few small Yorkie buddies to play with...doesn't this sound like heaven compared to what his fate could have been?

They said he was friendly with children, didn't bark a lot, rode nicely in the car - a real gentleman who came in out of the cold stormy weather... we'll know more once he is in foster care for a few days..

Barney is adjusting just beautifully to his new home.  He is SUCH a sweet dog. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body.  We gave him a good bath  because he smelled from being at the Amish farm but he is fresh and clean and just a beautiful yorkie.  He is so good natured and well adjusted.  He gets along fine with the foster mom's dogs.  He loves to sit with the people and he nuzzles his head under their hands to be petted. 

He will make someone a wonderful companion.  He has done marvelous with house training. He peed and pooped outside the minute he got home and they took him out in the yard.  He ate his dinner.    

 He also did really well for his bath, brush, and blow dry.  Wherever he came from he must have been taken care of.  Thank God he didn't end up in some crate in a puppy mill. 

He is vacationing in Lancaster, PA with Liz. If you are interested in a wonderful Yorkie, put in your application and then call Liz.

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.
