The shelter estimated she is 9 years old (they are never right) but she acts much younger and weighs 6 pounds.
Her adoption fee is $350.00.
Leah is ready for adoption, she had her spay and dental last Monday. She lost two teeth - not too bad if she is nine years old (we do not think so). She came through it all like a champion and you’d never know she had surgery. Keeping her quiet and confined was a real challenge. She’s doing great and is still a chow hound. She’s definitely a Velcro dog and does not like me looking at my phone for any length of time. She’ll pop her head in front of the phone or I get pawed at until she gets my attention on her. She is getting possessive of a toy she may have and I’m trying to break her of that She’s a delightful happy little gal and will be a total love bug with whoever is lucky enough to adopt her.
Leah is staying with Vera in Pittsburgh, PA.

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.
