Poor Bud. He was the apple of his mother's eye - she loved him dearly all of his life and he grew up with her 3 children. Until she went to Heaven without him. Of course her three grown children swore to "Mom" that one of them would keep Bud for as long as he lived. But as soon as Mom was buried, they had to do something about Bud. None of them could take him in, they said. "Mom" would be sad if she knew they had given him away after their solemn vow to her.

It is the reason we don't place young dogs with senior citizens. If something should happen to them - the dog loses its home - no matter if there are grown children swearing on the Bible that one of them will keep the dog. It doesn't happen. We have seen it over and over.

So now we have Little Bud - Dearest of All. He is bewildered to say the least. But he is learning and adapting and struggling to go on without his beloved mom. He is eating and has had no problem with the other dogs in the house. He has uncharacteristically long legs for a Yorkie but that just makes him more unique and lovable.

Of course we know - YOU want a young dog. To have it around a long time. Why else would you get a dog? How about to save one? To give a dog a place to live and be loved for the time he has left? Bud isn't going to run you ragged playing ball and hiking. He'll enjoy TV with you and going for a ride. He'll cuddle with you while you sleep and he'll snooze while you are out. As rescuers, we know. Older dogs make the very BEST pets.

Please, would you give Little Bud the home that his mom promised him?

Bud has forgiven them. We want him to have all the happiness he can find now. He deserves better.

If you are reading this it is because you care about dogs, Yorkies in particular, and you want to save one. Well here he is. You don't have to read any further. Put in your application and we'll get Bud all cleaned up and pack his toys. He's ready to come home now.

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.
