Lincoln is available for adoption. 

He is 3 years old and weighs 16 lbs.

His adoption fee is $350.00.

Lincoln came from a puppy mill where he was going to be destroyed because he was too large to mate with the small female dogs the farmer had.  The farmer had no reason to keep him, Lincoln could not make any money for him! 

He does not know how to act like a dog but is starting to like the changes in his life already.  He is a little fearful of passing cars while we walk, we have sidewalks but it's still too close for comfort. We've been walking him down the alley away from cars where there is less noise and he can get use the sounds from farther away. He needs confidence! He keeps his tail tucked under almost all the time. He did bring his tail up once when we were walking this morning so that is a good sign. We are taking him for extra walks since he gets tired out so fast because he is not used to being outside of the cage he lived in his entire life.  

He is so loving. He is so excited to see his foster parents come into the room, he wags his tail and spins in circles of joy. He loves to give cute little kisses. He is very shy and timid right now, but we are working on breaking him out of his shell. He is a happy friendly dog. We are making progress with walking on a leash. He is getting a haircut soon!
 
Lincoln is vacationing in Baltimore, MD with Sara.

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.
