Dawkins is available for adoption.

He is 10 years old and weighs 18 lbs.

His adoption fee is $300.00.

Dawkins has lots of energy and loves to run around outside.  He gets along well with other dogs and loves people too, he's such a sweetie.  Being new in rescue, he is a little shy when first meeting strangers but he warms up very quickly. He is trained to walk on a leash and he is a very good eater. He needs to pay a visit with our vet to have his dental completed so he can get back his pearly white smile. He follows foster mom from room to room with those beautiful eyes and watches every move she makes. He knows his commands (sit, down, paw) very well and will do what you ask of him. You can tell that he came from a loving family but that family now has small children and cannot give Dawkins the time he deserves.  If you have the time for him, put in your application today because this sweet boy will make a great addition to your home! 

Dawkins is vacationing in Clifton, NJ, with Diane.

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.
