Finneas is available for adoption.

He is 1 1/2  year old and weighs 13 lbs.

His adoption fee is $800.00.

Finneas is 13.5 pounds of 20 month old pure puppy.  He was at the veterinarian yesterday for his neutering and also received his microchip implantation and dental check up at the same time. He came home with a glowing report. He needs to quietly convalesce for a week or two before becoming available for adoption.  (It's going to be difficult to keep this ball of energy quiet.)   He slept peacefully through his first night and we're hopeful for a quick recovery.   Finneas is a great pack dog as he gets along with our two Yorkies perfectly well.  However, while out on a leash, he will bark at other dogs.  We are in the process of desensitizing him in this habit and are making some progress. Happily, on Tuesday we had a true revelation! We took him to our groomer's home who has a small dachshund.  We were initially wary of what Finneas would do in this brand new situation, but we needn't have worried at all...they sniffed each other and then ignored one another.  When we went to pick him up after his grooming, he was outside being walked with the dachshund as if they were life-long mates!    His potty habits have gotten much better.  Although he will still try to mark wherever our other little handful (Luca) has accidents, for the most part Finneas uses the pee-pads if he needs to.  Also, his neutering should go a long way to eliminating the marking.   As you have read in other updates, he loves to play fetch, eats perfectly well, loves to go for walks, and tends to want to be touching his humans in some way (head on lap, his foot on your foot, etc.).   He will occasionally jump in your lap if he's presented with an unoccupied one and loves to stand on his hind legs asking for attention.

Finneas is staying with Maryann and Michael in New Canaan, Ct.

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.
