Buttercup is a beautiful sweet girl. She came from a puppy mill where she had several litters before she came to us. She needs a quiet household
No stairs or one stairwell that will be gated (we are still learning steps)
No small kids - she is skittish and very fragile
No big dogs
No more cages!
She gets along great with other small dogs if they are calm, quiet types.
Buttercup will have her spay very shortly and will be ready to go soon. But you HAVE to be the RIGHT home. Few steps, no big dogs, a quiet home please. She is in New York state at this time. Her adoption donation is $450 because she will be all set when she goes to her new home. Lucky you! Look at that picture!!!!
Buttercup is in her new home and so happy. The Franco's are a blessing to her and are so happy with their little girl. She likes her new brother. A happy ending indeed.

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.
