Here is what Wrigley’s foster mom says about him: Wrigley recently joined our family with barely any history. But it didn't take long to realize that just does not matter. What is important is that he has been vetted and found to be a healthy, three-year old dog who wanted to belong and be loved. Wrigley has the perfect mix of energy and peaceful reserve. He absolutely relishes in brisk walks, belly rubs, love and attention. He does not have an aggressive bone in his body; even with toys and treats or grooming implements. Our family is lively and he rolls with each wave. Our family is also diverse; we have a large cat, small Yorkie, lizards, frogs, you get the idea. Wrigley enjoys the company of all of his foster family members. There was a period of time when we all needed to adjust, to include some marking; however, he is very regular going potty and we have not had any accidents in the house. He has a healthy dry food diet, we supplement his drinking water daily with fluoride, and we are working on getting used to brushing teeth. Wrigley is crated at bed time and does require a few minutes to relax. He lounges on his bed, on the sofa or sprawled out on the floor; he is at home anywhere at home! He travels fine in the car and will make a great co-pilot. He is a wonderful companion with an amazing disposition.
Wrigley is vacationing in Pitman, NJ with Flea and her family.

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.
