Colbie is an enthusiastic, energetic charmer.  He loves playing with our 10 lb Maltese mix, Bella, and he plays hard! Colbie is healthy, a good eater, enjoys his food, loves riding in cars, and really loves taking walks. We take at least 3 walks a day, usually more.  We don’t know how he is with cats except that when we are on walks he is very interested in watching them. He also freezes to watch birds and wants to chase those noisy tempting squirrels.  

Colbie has made great strides in his potty training.  When he first got here, he didn’t always make it outside. Now he does all his business outside, though he still prefers to poop on walks rather than use the backyard. And he still wears a “belly-band diaper” to help him make it through the night, but we’re hopeful that will not be needed a lot longer.

Because Colbie is under two, if you adopt him, he will need to attend obedience classes. He also needs to live in a place with a fenced yard.  He moves so fast and is a bit of an escape artist, so the fence will need to be higher than 4 feet and very close to the ground at its base. He tries to zip out of open doors, too!  On walks Colbie thinks he is a very large dog and greets often other dogs with barking. We are working on this because it puts off some dogs (and their owners!), when what he really wants is to meet them and play with them, but it doesn’t sound that way!

It bears repeating that Colbie full of energy. He stays up late and gets up early.  He loves humans and will thrive in an active household with another dog or dogs as playmates. He is used to having his people home most of the day. He won’t do well being left for long periods of time. So, if you work from home, he will be most pleased.

Colbie is staying with Trisha in Charlottsville, 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.
