The Shagster is really a very sweet boy. He gets along with dogs and cats - a very social guy. He walks well on a leash and he hardly barks at all. Strangers can pet him. He has a long and lean look - a happy bigger Yorkie who would fit in with almost any family. He doesn't walk - he PRANCES like a pony! He loves to sit with his family and oh, he would love to sleep with you too. He has been very good with all ages. He is just a happy well behaved dog. He is even very good with his potty training - what's not to love? Right now he is watching as we write his bio - big eyes following our every move. What a dandy little guy who loves everyone. He's the perfect age and the best size for having fun. A wonderful Yorkie treasure. He came from a loving family and he is a delight. THIS is the Yorkie people always hope to find. He's waiting for you!
Shagster is vacationing in Bayonne, NJ, with Pat and her gang.

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.
