Benji's in the house! 

This little boy is happy and full of life! He loves to be snuggled and praised. He will make a wonderful friend for an active person who has time for him. He has quickly become his foster mom's little buddy and follows her everywhere. He loves to play with other dogs .

Benji is adjusting very well to his new surroundings. He is more playful now that he knows who these nice people are and enjoys playing with the other dogs. House training is going good, no accidents and last night he even went over and stood by the door to let his mom know he needed to go out.  He loves to be outside and walks on a leash very well.  He rides very nice in the car. Any family that is willing to give him the exercise and teach him his words like "place" - will have a well trained Yorkie for years to come.

PLEASE NOTE:  Benji does not trust men. He is not aggressive, but he fears them and we will not place him in a home with men.  He needs obedience classes to learn to trust his new owner, so both of you will bond. Look for a highly praised dog training club near you and ask for particulars.  Before you know it, Benji will be sitting beside you, head tilted to the side, asking,"Well Mom, I know how to heel..what's next?"

Benji is vacationing in Levittown, 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.
