Niko is so happy to be settled for awhile!  He's been a traveling man - kennels, Boston, CT and now PA. No one has had time for him, just him, in a very long time. He has been bounced and shuffled around. Every dog deserves to be someone's special love. It's Niko's turn now.

We are looking for a settled home, with someone who has LOTS of time for a dog, for Niko. If you work all day - pass him by. He deserves a home who will take him for car rides and not drop him off at a kennel or their in laws, or doggie day care. 

Niko is a happy boy who likes car rides and sleeping in the sun - he will escape through most fences if he gets the chance so be careful and do not let him out in your yard alone - even a fenced one. 

Niko knows how to sit. He hates loud noises, as most dogs do and he doesn't like the groomer either. But that is also very normal for most Yorkies. When he is scared, he runs to his crate.

He will be so happy to have someone who has time to pay attention and play with him.

He's a great little guy who is vacationing in Ephrata, PA.  He's the perfect size and age. Please consider him if you are ready to give him part of your heart.

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.
