We have had Hannah living with us for two weeks now. She is such a smart, sweet little girl, always happy to see her humans whether they’ve been in another room, or away for an hour or two. She gets along well with her foster brothers, but there have been some minor altercations, especially with our “senior citizen” dog, that lead me to believe she would be best as an only dog.
Other than that, there are 4 things I see as a definite must for Hannah’s forever home.
1. To be allowed to sleep in the human bed with her person/people. She is a good bed mate and will snuggle up near you, but not on top of you. She sleeps beautifully through the night.
2. No crate, ever. She was never crated in her former home and got very stressed the first night she was here in a topless crate. After that first night, she joined us in bed. She has no problem being in a section of the house with gates at the doorways. She is not destructive and is as house trained as a small dog can be.
3. Other than a couple of nice long walks daily, Hannah needs a nice sized, securely fenced yard where she can sniff, explore and run with human supervision, of course!
4. Last of all, she needs someone willing to play endless games for fetch with her! You can toss small balls, big balls or floppy toys for hours on end and she will bring them right back to you and drop them at your feet. Luckily, she is also willing to stop when you have been sufficiently worn out!
Hannah is eagerly awaiting her forever home, but we will certainly miss this ray of sunshine when she leaves!
Hannah is staying with Robin in Chesterfield, 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.
