Gizzimo is a 9 year old, 7.2 pound, neutered male. A true love bug. He was abandoned in a home for weeks before he was rescued. Due to untreated flea infestation that went on for years, his backside skin is hairless, leathery (elephant skin), and he is missing patches of fur on his back. But his years of neglect have not dented his carefree and charming personality one bit. He is active and happy and the look in his eyes tells you that he is so happy to be rescued and to get a second lease on life. He gets along great with all of our dogs. He loves being outside and exploring our fenced in backyard. He is completely housebroken. When he wants to go out, he will find you wherever you are in the house and bark loudly to be let out to do his business. He likes walks. He comes when called. He is very well adjusted and socialized. He loves naps on the couch or in the recliner and will sit in your lap wile you are having your morning coffee or are unwinding at night and have his belly scratched. He LOVES belly scratches!
He has chronic yeast on his leathery skin that will have to be attended to with frequent bathing and powder applications. He also needs to be given apoquil twice a day for his itching.
The person or persons who adopt Gizzimo will be the lucky person indeed. He is a true gem! The best of the best!
Gizzimo is staying with Linda and Bob in Douglassville, PA.

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.
