Phoebee is available for adoption.

She is 7 years old and weighs 5 lbs.

Her adoption fee is $400.00.

Since October we have had a hunch that Phoebee is SPECIAL…and we were right.  Just last week, her new doctor confirmed that Phoebee really is! She was born with luxating patellas and rather than let this stop her from being joyful, active and an all-around sweet girl, she has learned to not only live with this condition but thrive.  The doctor stated that because she grew up with it, surgery is not necessary and would most likely not “fix” anything.  He also stated that Phoebee should continue to take her joint supplements and he made the decision to discontinue her pain medication.

Phoebee will still require certain conditions be met in her new home.   A home with carpeting would be best, she can only be carried up/down steps- she is unable to handle them. Phoebee is not allowed to jump on/off the furniture as this could compromise her condition.  Phoebee eats prescription food and takes Apoquel for her allergies.  This sweet little girl is well worth it!

She gets along great with the other occupants of the house: a 5lb female yorkie and a 20lb male cat. While she does get jealous at times, most of the time you can find them all cuddling on the couch. I have to say, Phoebee is quite the feisty one. When we first got her in mid-October, she wanted nothing to do with us. Now she is the very definition of a lap dog.  Phoebee will alert you if she hears someone at the front door, and she must be the first one to greet new guests. She is also a very brave guard-dog; Phoebee loves our bay window and is very good at letting us know whenever someone walks by. When it comes to toys she does not like to share, especially her favorite gingerbread man toy.  Phoebee would do best in a single dog home.

Phoebee is staying with Flea and Caitlin in Pitman, NJ.

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.
