His name was Bronx but today it is Nittany. He's just a baby at 15 months and full of the energy that goes with that.  He is sweet and wants all of the attention, all of the fun. Are you ready for such energy?

His owner surrenderd him to us because he was doing what comes naturally. She didn't have the intelligence to have him neutered early. We told her to neuter him right away but she wasn't willing to wait for the hormones to subside... we know that in 6 to 8 weeks he will forget about the girls and be satisfied with loving his new family. If people would just do the neutering so much earlier this would never be an issue...

Nittany COULD go to Penn State because he is really intelligent and like the college boys, he is cute. He is a great little Yorkie boy. He absolutely positively MUST go to obedience classes  - if you can't or won't take him, please don't apply. All young things need to learn with others of their kind. It helps them to learn how to handle things socially as they mature.

He's such a good boy - don't you think he's handsome? An application is the first step...

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.
