CJ is available for adoption. 

He is 1 year old and weighs 4.8 lbs.

His adoption fee is $800.00.

CJ came into rescue with veterinarians suspecting a liver shunt based on elevated liver enzymes and an ultrasound. CJ had his surgery on July 31stwhere a portosystemic shunt was found and an ameroid constrictor was placed around the shunt to slowly close it down over the next 3-4 weeks.A retained testicle was removed from his abdomen and retained deciduous teeth were also removed. Poor little guy, he had the works, literally from head to toe.

CJ has recovered nicely from his surgery; his stitches have been removed and he is certainly enjoying his new-found freedom! He’s on the move again, and couldn’t be happier now that’s he’s able to run and play. 

CJ is a delight, he is all puppy. He’s very curious, listens well and has a wonderful appetite. Loves giving kisses and loves playing with squeaky toys. He loves the company of his human and other dogs, he is not happy being left alone. So, we’re looking for someone who is home most of the time, another canine friend would be a plus. 

A home with a fenced yard is very important for CJ. Not necessarily to keep him safe while being outside, a harness and a leash would take care of that. He LOVES to run. Sometimes he’s after a toy, sometimes he just speeds around for the pure joy of it. A fenced yard allows him to safely do this off leash.

Please try and support CJ by making a donation on our webpage. His surgery and all his testing will cost about $5,000. SAY could use your help. Go to saveayorkierescue.org  and click on our PayPal button to make a donation – please mark CJ in the note section.

CJ will be available for adoption after post-surgery testing is done on September 15th

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.
