Miss Skylar enjoys her day with enthusiasm! She sings and dances for her breakfast and dinner, prances out the door for her walks, enthusiastically gives kisses and burrows under the bed covers to find the best spot at bedtime. Fully recovered from her surgery, she definitely is feeling better and her soft velvety coat is slowly filling in. Recently she has begun to play a bit with her humans -- doing doggie bows and jumping side to side in response to us.
Skylar has very good potty habits when trips outside are offered on a regular basis. She doesn't seem to have a signal to let you know she's in need of a potty break so being consistent about outside trips works best. We think she'd be really happy being your one and only princess but she gets along in a pack as well.
As Skylar's tumor was malignant, she would benefit from follow on care with an oncologist. SAYR will provide her adopters the detailed veterinary records related to her surgery and oncology consult. SAYR hopes there is a special adopter for Skylar. Is that you? She can go home with you after her dental which will be scheduled soon.
Skylar is staying with Julia in Fairfax, 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.
