She is 8 years old and weighs 8 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $300.00.

"Sweet, and shy, willing to be good, a great candidate to become a therapy dog - that is our Marietta.  Found as a stray running loose along a highway, she was scooped up and given to our rescue for care.

Marietta LOVES everyone.  Pick her up, a million times! She loves to be held, cuddled, adored. Are you looking for a companion? Someone to hold and be your best friend?  Someone to share your day's adventures, Marietta will listen.  Are you home much of the time, perhaps lonely and needing a sympathetic listener? Marietta will gaze at you with adoring dog eyes as you stroke her glistening fur.
 
Marietta loves other dogs and wants nothing more than to be with her human friends. In fact, she just hates to be separated from them. She eats with relish and loves whatever you serve, softened just the way she likes it. 

Her tail wags and she wiggles across the room as she responds to her name being called.  
 
If she wants on your lap or to cuddle she will nudge you gently on your leg.

She has learned numerous commands like sit and stay, out, good girl, and a lot more.  

How she loves to be a good girl!  
 
She did wonderfully at the Grooming Spa with the girls and is enjoying her new haircut. It shows off her beautiful brown eyes. She likes warm soapy baths. You can blow dry her hair while brushing her out and as long as the hair dryer is a few feet away she enjoys it. The groomer said she did very well when they groomed her.
 
She rides nicely in the car and enjoys walks outside on her harness and leash. She has learned the bell sound on the harnesses means they are about to go outside.

Marietta is a treasure. A loving Yorkie girl who wants to be with you - til the cows come home. 
 
Marietta is vacationing with Vera and her crew in South Hills, PA out near Pittsburgh.

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.
