About Bridget Barko

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: $450
  • Species: Dog
  • Rescue ID: D090082
  • Current Size: 6 Pounds

She is a timid, shy little girl. She loves her person, it just takes her awhile to trust. She is sweet and loving and adores other dogs.

Her owner died and the daughter who took her in does not have time for her. She wants her to have the best home, with someone who has a very quiet home where she will be able to explore and gain confidence.

Bridget is an AKC registered dog - as if that means anything.

So if you have a very quiet home, have the time to allow her to come to you, and will socialize her, then you may be the home for her.

She will be vacationing in Webster, NY near Buffalo with Lin and Ron Egan.

PS. Bridget can only go to ONE home and there will be many applications for her. So she asks that you check out the boys and give them a home. She will have her pick but others have been waiting for so long. Please please look at the boys and the older adult males. Thank you for your kindness...

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.
