Rascal is an active busy boy. He is young and happy, gentle and loving with people. Other dogs are his friends - he just has to get to know them. Rascal cuddles in bed with several dogs at once - we have pictures! Rascal loved the car ride to his new home, so that is not a problem for this charmer. He uses the outdoors and wee wee pads when the weather is nasty. Such a smart guy!
We would like to see him in a new home where he isn't left alone all day - no more than a couple of hours at the most. Another small dog would be fine with him. He needs a fenced yard for safety sake but he needs lots and lots of walks - several times a day - more walking and training and socialization than most people expect. Are you an active family? Do you walk now? Do you want a jogging buddy? We have your first draft choice here and waiting.
Rascal is a fun loving, happy young sweetheart. If you are young enough to keep up with him, have the time to spend with him, enjoy training a puppy (it's required! He MUST go to obedience classes with you.) We believe dogs, like children, need to learn their manners and how to get along with others and classes are just the way to do it. He is still a baby and will need guidance and training.
Please consider Rascal's needs - a young puppy, a small dog. Before you apply - ask yourself: "Can I keep up with him? Do I have time for him? Can I afford his care and grooming? The idea that puppies are cute sometimes makes people forget that they need lots of training, exercise, socialization and care. Think about Rascal's happiness. If you fit what he needs - please put in your application.
Rascal is an active and vocal member of the foster family. He is doing great going potty outside. He is a very loving and a layful snuggler. He will be an ideal companion for a patient affectionate person. He is still all puppy so training is a must in his future.
Rascal is vacationing with Susan 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.
