What is life like for a tiny Yorkie in a house with small children? Often like it was for Buddy. He hated it and he tried to let them know he didn't want to be chased and carried. But no one listened.
Buddy is a very sweet, loving delightful little Yorkie. Just as sweet as he can be. CUDDLE? The dear little guy LOVES to cuddle!  He loves to be on your lap while you watch tv. At 3 tiny pounds he is the size of a squirrel. But he is no push over either. He stands up for himself, as a terrier should.

We want a home without small children, please. And someone who is home a lot would be perfect. He would love it if you would take him for walks and rides in the car. Are we asking too much?

If you are retired and need a small love bundle to be your buddy - then Buddy is it for you. He is very active, playful, joyful, ready to go for a walk or a ride.

This is what his life WAS like but is no more. There's a reason we ask for a home with no children:

Buddy hid under the couch and panted rapidly. They were after him again. His nerves were frayed and he was terrified. He was running out of hiding places but he could hear their wild giggles and shrieks. They thought it was a marvelous game - Chase Buddy.  But there was terror in his heart. If only they would go watch the TV, he could make a mad dash for the upstairs bedroom and the safety under the bed.

Uh oh! Someone grabbed his hair and pulled.. Ouch that hurt.  It was too late to escape - they had him and were running to their bedroom.  What was he to do? He growled his best deep growl to show them that he was scared. They dropped him and ran screeching to their mother. The dog had GROWLED at her babies!  What was to be done? Buddy had to go!

And go he did - right to us. He is just 3 skinny pounds of tiny dog and he will never have to hide under the couch again from small children. From now on, no one chases Buddy. Buddy will find that people aren't looking to hurt him - he will never have to be afraid again. He gets along well with other dogs so far and is VERY active - a perfect dog for people who like to take lots of walks. He prefers to walk on his own instead of being carried like a sack of potatoes.

Buddy is vacationing in Marlton, NJ with Marie and John. Put your application in today.

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.
