She is 6 years old and weighs 20lbs. (She is very overweight)
Her adoption fee is $400.
Averee is a cutie. She is very friendly to all she meets. She loves to be near her person and will follow you everywhere, and snuggle with you on the couch. She loves attention! She rides well in the car and walks well on a leash. She doesn't have much interest in toys. Not much of a barker, usually only if something is amiss. She gets along with other dogs, but would be fine as an only dog. She had her wellness visit at the Vet and is up to date on vaccinations. She will need to have a dental and that is scheduled for 3/25. She came to rescue very overweight and is on a diet. She lost 1.5 pounds in a week. She would benefit (but not a requirement) from a fenced in yard to run or with someone who likes to take long walks until she gets her figure back. She is housebroken and will even use a wee wee pad, if needed. Averee is a good girl and will make a great companion for someone!
Averee is staying with Nancy in Brick, 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.
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.
