Ruffus is available for adoption.

He is 5 years old and weighs 7 lbs.

His adoption fee is $500.00.

Ruffus is a very handsome and sweet 5 year old boy.  Over the past couple of weeks Ruffus has come out of his shell and it has become very apparent that he LOVES to run.  In fact when we go on walks he runs and hops he does not walk LOL, so having a fenced yard that he can be safe to run around in as well as a playmate is HIGHLY desired for him.  It has also become apparent that he gravitates towards men.   He eats well which is a good thing because he needs to gain about 2 pounds he currently weighs 5.4lbs and should be around 7.5lbs.  He loves a good cuddle but also likes a little space at times. He loves to give kisses and likes to sit in his foster moms lap while she gets ready for the day.  He has been neutered and had a dental where he lost 3 teeth.  Ruffus is fully vetted and is ready for his furever home!

Ruffus is staying with Jonna in Manassas, VA.

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.
