He was THE "Baby" - the cherished puppy, the loved one. He was their child, their adored and petted treasure. He got all of the attention  -he slept in their bed. They cooed and coddled, took pictures and took him on vacation. All he has ever known was love and attention - until the Baby came.

Ernie was displaced in an instant. The interloper moved in and Ernie was no longer the gem, the center of the family, the beloved. He was in the way, out of their bed, and wasn't to be trusted with the new family member.

We've seen it countless times before. The Yorkie was the baby until the baby came. Then he was out. For the safety of everyone - Ernie came to rescue. He's still reeling - he's lost it all. His home, his family, everything he has known and loved - GONE! How would anyone feel?

He will adjust. He will recover. And he will be someone's gem again. He's no longer a puppy - he's given the best years of his life to the family who let him go. Now he will be happy with a quiet family who doesn't and won't, have children. Not that he ever had a real problem with children... it was the loss of center stage that hurt.

Ernie The Brick is vacationing in Vineland, NJ with LeeAnn. He is available and waiting on someone who wants a perfect little man. Is that you?

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.
